360 Assassins Creed 3 Limited Edition

[pavkey88]

Hi there everyone.

Not really a hardcore collector, but I do have an interesting story that I think you might like.

Our house was robbed about a month ago and the crooks stole our gaming systems along with a bunch of other stuff. After we got our insurance check I went out to replace the items, figuring I'd just buy a used xbox 360 since we had an xbox one and didn't 2 brand new consoles.

Imagine my surprise when we found the used console in the box. A limited edition AC3 slim. Plugged it in, and yep it works just fine! I have no idea who the moron was that traded this thing in at a gamestop but I certainly lucked out. I've included some pictures below.

I know it has to be kind of rare because I can't find any information on it. My question is: Is it ok to play games with or should I just box it up and save it? Unfortunately I don't have the original box it came with because I got it in a generic Gamestop box. Does that affect the value?

thanks!!

i think this was a contest prize of sorts, when the game came out...i don't think there was an "original" box for it, just the same box the xbox comes in..this thing you can sell on ebay for some serious profit..as this item is VERY RARE and "NOT FOR SALE"..i would consider selling it..if you don't necassarily want to hang on to it.....but it is a "valuable" edition to any collection, so congrats on the lucky find!!

I believe it's a 1 in 6 console? I remember seeing one on ebay from a member here in the "rare stuff found on ebay" thread.

And even moreso, what kind of GS employee takes it in without realizing the gem he/she has and leaves it sitting there in inventory??

Hi everyone,

Thank you for the info.

Yeah, the look on the Gamestop employee's face when he realized what he was selling me was pretty telling, but I had no idea it was that rare.

I think I'll probably take your advice and list it on ebay later this week. If it sells for a decent amount I'll let you all know.

Thanks again!!

If you do end up putting it up, you should post the ebay link here too, there may be a few collectors who are interested (if they haven't already PM'd you about it).

Also, sorry to hear about the break-in. We suffered one recently as well, but thankfully nothing was taken. Sorry to hear your story ended differently, but hopefully between the insurance check and some profit from this thing you'll be net positive after all is said and done!
