Iconic Xbox game worth up to £650 if you still have it

A CLASSIC Xbox game with a very familiar title could be worth nearly £650 if you still have it. In fact, even the loose disc without its box might fetch over £100. If you owned an original Xbox, dive into those cupboards or head up into the loft immediately. The smash-hit console was home to some iconic titles like Halo and Fable – but there's a TV-inspired game that is now worth serious cash. Futurama came out on the Xbox in August 2003, inspired by the iconic TV show of the same name.

And video game collectibles tracker PriceCharting says that a sealed copy of the game is now worth as much as £648. Better still, a professionally graded copy of Futurama for the original Xbox could go for as much as £936. PriceCharting keeps track of online sales of old games and consoles, creating a rolling list of their values. As these classic games become harder to find, their prices can increase steeply.

And that's the case for Futurama, which is generally considered to be one of the Xbox's rarer titles. That means that even a loose Futurama disc can still fetch decent money, with the website listing its value as £132. If you have a complete packed that's been opened, you could get £179. The box on its own is said to be worth £52, while the manual is listed with a value of £71. What you need to keep in mind is that these are simply estimates based on previous sales of the games.

So there's no guarantee that your own copy can be traded for these amounts. However, you could be in luck and find that your Futurama game goes for even more money than the prices listed here. You just have to sell to the right collector at the right time. If you do have a copy, it might be worth hanging onto it – as the price could rise even higher in the future. Futurama is a 3D platformer inspired by the hit sci-fi cartoon created by The Simpsons mastermind Matt Groening.

It was released for both Xbox and PlayStation 2, and is now a prized collectible. For a start, the game contains cutscenes that are considered to be a "lost episode" of Futurama. Here's how much some retro Xbox games could be worth now, according to PriceCharting... Halo 2 (Limited Collector's Edition). Halo Triple Pack. Teen Titans. Marvel Vs Capcom 2. Silent Hill 2. Mortal Kombat: Deception (Kollector's Edition: Baraka Version).
