Xbox NTSC USA GTA III and Vice City- PS2 style covers

[marioxb]

I don't believe that Grand Theft Auto III or Vice City on Xbox came with "normal" looking cases. Meaning, if you'd see one of the games on a shelf by itself, you'd be able to read the back and see what the game is like. The reason being that they were only released in Double and Triple Packs for the system. So, I took the PS2 covers and modified them to work for the Xbox versions.

Here they are:

Not bad, marioxb. When I can get my Xbox 360 connected to the internet, I can update it to play Xbox games.

You can download the backward compatibility update from the Xbox website and put it on a disc, or get an issue of Official Xbox Magazine and the disc that comes with it has the latest update usually. I mean, if you didn't want to wait that is.

I don't have an Xbox 360, but will they ever allow you to play ALL Xbox 1 games on it? Reason number 5845 that Nintendo Wii is better. FULL backward compatibility. OK, except Game Boy Player and broadband adapter.

nope, microsoft has stopped doing the backwards compatible updates. what works now is all that will work. its quite a lot of them that are compatible, but not all. to me, it doesnt reallly matter, since i still have my original xbox, and most of my saves are on that hard drive, so to play them on 360 would be a waste.

They might never get all the patches working in order to be able to play all xbox games, BUT....... Who needs patches?? Why play XBOX games on a 360 when you can have a regular xbox AND a 360....

Just like having a Wii AND a gamecube AND a snes AND a nes AND a gameboy (phew im getting tiered) AND a game boy advance.

IT'S ALL ABOUT WHO HAS THE MOST TOYS!!!! YEAH BABY!!!!

[makeshiftknight]

Obviously most people (including myself) are all about having more toys, because Sony stopped making the PS3 fully backward compatible and went the route of the 360's emulated compatibility. And, everyone knows, Vt is correct, it is in fact, all about who has the most toys. Think about it, did James Bond or Batman worry about all purpose toys?

they look great

nice, clean and uniform 

funny enough my xbox version of these two games have covers just like this.
i bought them at blockbuster and evedently they replaced the old covers with new cover inserts.
my guess was when they split up the double pack for individual sale.

good job marioxb

Thanks! Hmm, were they really released on Xbox with these covers? I have the double pack versions which look like this (but in English, and for NTSC US Xbox):



And searching the internet didn't show me any evidence of alternate Xbox covers. Well, shenske, in that case you should just go ahead and delete my covers and post scans of your official ones.

[shenske]

oh no no.

i'm not going to delete them.
the double pack did come in those kind of covers.

i think people at blockbuster (not microsoft or rockstar) made the PS2 style covers and put them in so they could sell their used copies individually.
you could tell that they were printed out, they paper was different.

yours are great i just though it was funny.

That's the thing. I put the update on a disc, but when i put it in my Xbox 360, it didn't recognize the disc.

Well, I was just thinking that real scans would be better than my replicas.
