He went to a Play n Trade and got a few Xbox games with Microsoft stickers on them. They say "Microsoft Operations Library - Please sign out." One of them also has a barcode on the back and the name "Cray" written on it. From what I can tell, Cray is a company that makes supercomputers. Otherwise, these appear to be legit retail copies. Any idea of what they are? Here are some pictures he took of the Cray copy: http://imgur.com/Smlcn,F3e7p#0 (Can't figure out how to use links here, so this will have to do)

Apparently it was actually a thrift store, but no. He's in Long Island, which means that there isn't much farther it could have been from Redmond without being in a different country.

Interesting. I ask about the Seattle area since that's where Microsoft and Xbox are headquartered. On Long Island though, there is this...

MIcrosoft Forefront looks like the software security division of the company that's based there... Maybe they had a game library on campus that they liquidated?

This sounds like the start of some sort of creepypasta story, if your friend goes back to the shop and it's mysteriously disappeared then I advise that he should burn the games.

That doesn't say "Cray" it says "C Ray," which I'm assuming is a name. Looks like they were internally owned copies of games that were just never returned and eventually traded in.

Put them in an Xbox, film what happens, and put it on the internet.

So I should be looking for a wave of C Ray games on Greenlight? Namely C Ray: Source.

Because that won't agitate the ghost of Cray.
