The Xbox fan thought they had a valuable treasure in their hands

One of the most recent episodes of Pawn Stars caught the attention of gamers, as someone visited the Harrison family's pawn shop to sell what seemed like a treasure: a sealed copy of Halo: Combat Evolved, the iconic game from Xbox and Bungie.

The player was confident that their game was worth at least $13,000 USD, as it was new and in very good condition. Chumlee, one of the show's hosts, was responsible for appraising the collectible with the help of an expert.

In the end, the player received the disappointment of their life, as their copy of Halo: Combat Evolved was valued at only $25 USD, a much lower figure than requested. This was due to a detail about the game that did not go unnoticed by the expert.

Halo: Combat Evolved debuted in 2001 as a launch title for the original Xbox. Bungie's game was very important for the industry, as it revolutionized console shooters and captivated players with its narrative, level design, combat system, and, of course, the iconic figure of Master Chief.

As such, it is a much-loved title and a classic for genre and Xbox fans, as it gave rise to one of the brand's most iconic franchises. With this in mind, a player decided to visit Pawn Stars and ask for $13,000 USD for their sealed and mint condition copy of Halo: Combat Evolved.

However, a small but important detail prevented them from receiving that amount. After review, the expert who assisted Chumlee concluded that the game was not actually new. It was determined that the game had been resold at some point, which reduced its value to only $25 USD.

According to the television program, a copy of Halo: Combat Evolved in perfect condition and truly sealed can be worth $25,000 USD or even more. Unfortunately, the player's unit did not meet all the requirements, so they decided to leave and keep the game in their collection.
