In Depth

Games and media

Xbox and Xbox 360 games are ordinary discs with a case and booklet. For used games, the condition of the disc, whether the booklet is included and the version (e.g. “Platinum Hits”, “Classics”) matter. Xbox 360 games run on newer consoles only if they are on the list of backward-compatible titles.

Regions

Xbox games are mostly region-free; individual titles differ in language or age rating. The USK label on the case shows the age rating.

Accessories

Controllers, memory units and cables are common second-hand. Clean the contacts and check controllers for stick drift.
