I've been feeling nostalgic for Xbox 360 a lot lately, so I hope you all enjoy the video. Please remember to LIKE and SUBSCRIBE if you enjoy it! I'm a huge game collector, and these Xbox 360 games are going UP UP UP in price! So make sure if you come across them, you pick them up!
I bought the game WET during the pandemic for $5 at a pawn shop. I didn't think it would be expensive now. I am glad that I i didn't sell it. Thank you for the informative video
Blur was mad underrated & I remember the GameStop commercial for it long ago. I always wanted to try the online when it was alive…bet it was chaotic fun with a full lobby!
I'm a small channel, I don't think me doing a video on buying 360 games is driving prices up at all. I'm just sharing my interest in the hobby. If anything, Microsoft is driving prices up by closing their store down and not continuing on with the backwards compatibility program. What type of content are you looking for?
@@thegamethrifter I love these videos keep it up! Not sure if you’ve done it, but you need a deep dive on the 360 store and the things that will be gone forever! Emphasize the word forever.
Ehh it depends if it’s popular media it will be. I’ve seen a Spider-Man web of shadows the other day for 80 but I got it a few years ago for 30. Normally Xbox 360 hover around 20-30 and even cheaper. Nintendo is the one notorious for expensive retro, almost any GameCube title is crazy expensive. Not this creator’s fault, just an effect of retro collecting being more and more popular.
@thegamethrifter It would be good to do vids on the download only games that are disappearing. Maybe do a top 5-7 per genre. Such as FPS, RPG, Adventure, Third person, Driving, Side scrolling, Top down. Just an idea. We can always go chase a disc copy but the digital games will just vanish.
@@thegamethrifter Its crazy because I remember seeing all the expensive games in store but I passed on them. I was like "Ill buy it later, people aren't looking to buy older games" then I forgot to buy them. lol
Keep em coming! A couple years ago people would scoff at me for saying 360 was my favorite console of all time and then I'd remind them we had 2 Elder Scrolls, 3 Mass Effects, 4 Gears, 2 Dark Souls, 4 Halos, Lord knows how many CODs, those transformers, the best racing games all either start, hit their sweet spot, or later to be remastered emanating from that console (Yes I like PS3 also) not to mention the indie games on XBLA. Additionally the fact folks keep playing them over and over to this day speaks volumes. I have been actively collecting for 360 for over 4 years now and suddenly due to the imminent store closure, people are finally talking about it. As somewhat overwhelming as it is right now with the influx of content, I welcome it because there is always something one misses and it was a wasteland prior. They will all be available for future leisurely viewing pleasure.
@@thegamethrifter Absolutely! All of those series will remain essential classics. I personally believe Gen 7 was the best time in gaming and I go back to the beginning being 47 (1 stick/1 button). Yes technology has subsequently improved upon the originals with remasters/remakes and there have been many epic/classic games released prior to and since, but between 2006-2015 was peak time for me. So many now feel like variations of themes that have been done better during that time. I still play ESO weekly on PC with friends and is celebrating its 10 year jubilee.
I bought WET years back when I randomly walked into my local Gamestop and bought it for $9.99. WET is a pretty fun game. I love the fighting and shooting sequences. It really does pay homage to films by Robert Rodriguez (especially Grindhouse) and Quentin Tarantino. I would love to see a sequel or a remaster. The shooting sequences are exactly like John Woo's Stranglehold and Max Payne. If I ever meet Eliza Dushku at a con, I'm having her sign my WET game 😉. I bought Alice Madness Returns from Ebay around the end of December 2021 for $28 and got it on my 32nd birthday, and it looks and plays better on my Xbox Series X. I just wish EA would let American McGee make Alice 3!
@@Suhadisgood Digital can almost always be revoked, at least in today's modern market. These companies can pull license like THAT! Ubidoft for instance removed The Crew from people's libraries completely. It's why I collect physical if at all possible.
@@thegamethrifter not on the Xbox 360 you can still play the games on the system even if the account that bought it is deleted this isn’t PS3 PS4 xbox one where you must have the account that owns the license the games are yours on 360 the difference no cd I trust Microsoft more then PlayStation Nintendo Steam
@@Suhadisgood Well I can tell you right now from my experience with Xbox, and I love Xbox, but new games like Halo Infinite even on disc has no data. A lot of their games aren't playable offline in any way. So, my worry is that if they do decide to give up on console, pretty much every game will become unplayable, digital or physical.
I'd think that Microsoft would be able to make a single store for all their consoles, then the only factor determining what you could access was which console you're on. Yeah, some things would leave the store as licenses expire, but keeping as much available as possible would be great for the people who've bought your products. One store for all the consoles would eliminate the costs of keeping them active, at least, for as long as Xbox as a brand keeps going.
You would think so, I mean the backwards compatible titles will still be on the newer Xbox stores. Not sure why they feel the need to close it down now
6:50 On that note, when you buy Madness Returns you also get access to the original game (American McGee's Alice) on the store for free... Becoming difficult to otherwise find now and still well worth a playthrough imo - especially if you're into that weird, off-kiltor, Arkham Asylum etc type atmosphere.
It was called a remaster lol But it's basically the same game. Activision did that with Prototype 1 and 2 as well. Called them remasters but weren't exactly that.
@@thegamethrifter Deadpool wasn't a remaster, it was a straight port and the game is named Deadpool on all consoles, not remaster. I have it for both the PS4 and PS3.

@@FrogSpl4sh I hear ya bro, I'll do that. Keep in mind I've only been at this for 8 months or so. I honestly do these video just for the love of gaming. :)
My issue with the Xbox 360 right now is the fact that I can't sign in to buy any of the titles I would love to get some of these sales right now for the Xbox 360 games and it's not letting me log into my old account at all and it's the same account that I have on my series X but it has no issue on the series X when I play the games from 360 so I don't understand and it's telling me that I need Xbox live when I have it on my new console
Glad I pigged out for the most part buying used 360 games when I got my console in 2018 when people were practically giving them away. Annoying AF that there's an "artificial" speculative market pressure like the online store closure hiking prices so badly. Got my PS3 at the same time. I usually aimed for the 360 version for multiplats, especially earlier titles of the generation. Got most of the games I liked, including some of the weirder esoteric stuff. But some of these other titles are a lost cause. I'll probably RGH my console in the near future. Sadly the backwards compat programme finished 2 years ago (we got some nice final editions like Ridge Racer and the DoA og xbox titles). I wonder if MS might reopen it or something with the store 360 store closure.
@@thegamethrifter tell me about it! That said, I found an xbox 360 slim with 4 games (Forza 4, a CoD, GTA5, Prototype) and a kinect for £38 at a Cash Convertor last weekend which I copped for my brother when I was staying out of town for work. Sadly they forgot to include the 250gb hard drive which was supposed to be part of the deal, but they're still cheap enough for me to buy elsewhere rather than waste time and fuel trying to go back to the same store with the receipt. It felt more real for me yesterday as I was cataloguing some of my collection and the prices are certainly creeping up at CEX here in UK. Eg Blazblue Continuum Shift was £1.50 when I purchased in November 2023, today its £3.50, not looking forward to future increases of niche titles, especially for their definitive versions. And Test Drive Unlimited was £3 in November 2023, but £6 today. I'll probably make a habit of sweeping up the sub £5 games I kept putting off whenever I go to retro shops in future... there's gonna be a few 7/10s in that stack, the bargains can't all be awful nowadays 😅
Great video! Would love to see more like this and maybe down the line (in a few years) you can do PS4/XB1? 360 and PS3 are starting to creep up in price so, like you, that's what I'm collecting right now, but the generation after is dirt cheap right now. Just an idea cuz I like your channel and I don't want you to run out of ideas lol. Hope that helps!
I have an Xbox One and a PS4 video up! I collect for pretty much everything! I have some ideas, would like to do top 10 for this platform or maybe top 10 Star Wars games ect
@@thegamethrifter when you talk about prices going up that’s scalpers not stores making them costing more money I’ve been buying the games that you can’t buy physical and can’t buy on the Xbox one their only on the 360 store if you joined Xbox live gold you should of gotten so many free games without paying for them over 80 games to own not like PlayStation not one PS3 game was free to keep with plus
@@bryancook6345 Nah, I have multiple local stores that sell retro and 360 is hot right now. Prices on a lot of stuff is going up. Physical prices will continue to go up because Xbox in particular is cutting out physical as an option.
@@thegamethrifter I didn’t know the Xbox 360 store is so cheap for the games you can buy physical like the evil within costing $59.99 where PS3 is selling it for $19.99 the Xbox 360 games you can buy physical are very expensive in the 360 store I only buy what’s exclusive to the 360 store that say arcade means you can’t buy physical
I’ve been watching your videos and enjoying them. Lately I’ve been building up my PlayStation 2 and 3 collection. I have a few Xbox consoles but for whatever reason I mainly collect for the PS1 -4, Vita and PSP plus Nintendo 64 and later systems. Just bought LA Noir, Midnight Club3 Dub Edition,Burnout 3,Shox, several NFS games,Maximo, Prince of Persia Trilogy, 007 Nightfire, 007 Agent under Fire and Everything or Nothing plus Red Dead Redemption and Undead Nightmare . Just got a modded GameCube console since those games are rather expensive. I’m good till the summer 😂
When you talk about physical games they did go up only on ebay and ebay is known to have scalpers and when you put videos like this the scalpers are watching your videos and then put the price up what you need to worry about is what’s going to be delisted forever not what’s physical that will never be gone the 360 store has a lot of games that will be delisted very soon that’s exclusive to the 360 store only
I have local retro game stores that I go to regularly, and prices have gone up across the board. I've been collecting a long, long time and these things come in waves. Not too long ago 3DS games and even the system was cheap and now it's crazy expensive.
I think you were showing video of amazing spider-man 1 not 2, maybe a small error but in my research I found that the second game sucked. Thanks for the video
@@thegamethrifter True. My amazon account was recently compromised and it ended being closed. I lost access to all of the ebooks and audiobooks that I bought from them, since they were tied to me account. If I my Xbox account was similarly closed, I wonder what would happen to my digital game library?
Microsoft own Activision now, so there is a chance that the Transformer games will get a remaster, just can’t get behind paying £30 for War for Cybertron when it’s multiplayer or Horde mode doesn’t work 😢
I liked some of the hero games! Hulk, Spider-Man, Captain America and even the 2nd Iron Man game were pretty good IMO. Of course stuff like Arkham series were fantastic!
Yeah go buy these games from scalpers no thanks I’m done with ebay for those who didn’t buy super Mario all stars physical it’s going for $1000 and up but who’s stupid to pay that much
@@thegamethrifter I bought these games from GameStop at cheaper prices GameStop is the only store I trust in prices cause you get 7 days to return them if you don’t like them blur will never beat ridge racer games it didn’t make it Digital I love car games but not every car game did you ever play the demo Wet it sucks also can’t force bad games to play great crash bandicoot 5 plays better then crash bandicoot that came before when Microsoft adds all the Activision games on game pass you’ll get all the great games if you have a PS4 PS5 have plus premium then you shouldn’t have a problem getting all the games monthly that Microsoft removed months ago that’s why they destroyed Xbox live gold but they could of still could of gave free Xbox one Xbox series X 4 games Microsoft destroyed themselves let Sony PlayStation beat them again they increased the ultimate game pass price nobody is complaining
Videos like these just inflate prices. Just pure panic. It's the store closing down in July it's mostly DLC and digital only games that will be lost. A lot of games on the store can be bought physically. It's just pure panic and fear
There's over 200 games that will be lost forever when the store closes, and there games aren't available physically. No one is going to inflate prices based on someone who 3k subscribers on UA-cam, I assure you lol
@@thegamethrifter The prices are inflating on physical games I can assure you. Plenty of evidence on Ebay and other sites. My issue isn't with the 200 or so games on the store that will be lost forever my issue is all these youtubers making videos with phrases like" buy these Xbox games now before they become expensive" and " rare Xbox 360 games to buy now before they rise in price". One well know youtuber already regrets putting up a video saying he went to a store to buy Infernal I think it was and it had no price as it just came in and the guy behind the counter said he'll check the price and he went on Ebay and quoted the guy 100$ because it's now one of those games every youtuber is talking about as a rare game or rising in price so it's nothing to do with the store closure .I'm not trying to belittle you or start some sort of witch hunt and I love what you guys do with your content and gaming videos but it's getting out of hand.
@@niallmclarney I don't think there's anything nefarious going on. Personally, I just see things creeping up and the prices tend to ebb and flow on various consoles at various times. Like right now is a great time to collect for original Xbox. But in a few years those prices might skyrocket.
@@thegamethrifter I think videos telling people to "buy these games before they go up in price " doesn't help as people see these videos with youtubers who they follow and take every word as gospel. people watch similar videos and go straight on Ebay and other websites especially a website and shop like we have here in Europe called CEX who notoriously up prices so they definitely will now. In regards to the original Xbox games you'd think they would go up in price first being an older console.All this hysteria is because the xbox 360 store is closing but that's only digital content games and DLC and quite an amount of games on the store are available digitally.
@@niallmclarney I mean I am always going to yard sales and garage sales and seeing cheap games. Local stores usually have fair prices, and to be fair....some games are harder to come by. It's always easy to spot people who don't know about games because they price Mario Bro's 3 for $60 or something. Popular games don't mean the games are expensive.
So many awesome grammar teachers on the internet! Absolutely love it! Appreciate it the tip my friend. I'll make sure to annunciate better for you in the future!
It's fomo to do videos on games that are going up in price? I guess that's what you get for letting other people know. Guess my video on the 360 store closing was also fomo. Fomo this and fomo that, everything's a fomo..
Man it's a great channel. It's just sad resellers are already scalping the crap out of these videos. Don't be offended. Buy now almost too late... That's fomo. But I guess some of us will benefit from your vid.
@@ADa89mixus I have a really small channel, I'm not sure I have much sway lol. I've seen some bigger channels talk about this stuff but I don't think it comes from a place of bad intentions. I think right now is the best time to collect for the Xbox 360. Some things are going up, but more will surely follow.
Why? I've had 3 360s all different edition releases all die from red ring of death. Games were fun ya but I can buy ps2 games and actually play them on my 20 plus year old systems that work. Cool if ya collect but better if they can be played. If they were backwards compatible maybe I'd spend the money but feels like they will inevitably become a collection of paper weights. And I prefer xbox to ps to this day.
Not driving any prices. It's such a fallacy that some small UA-camr could do that. It's supply and demand, and even with that, there's always deals to be found.
It’s videos like this that are increasing the demand for these games. Completely irresponsible and bad for the collecting community. And it doesn’t matter the size of the channel - the video still gets recommended. Just stop.
No, I don't think I will. I'm just a guy who likes talking videogames. Anyone can still find deals out in the world. Heck, I found some awesome ones already today.
I already bought some Xbox 360 games that’s going to be gone forever when the Xbox 360 store closes I don’t care about physical games that’s going to be with us forever if you want to pay scalpers money go right ahead their asking for $300 the Xbox store is asking for $19.99 the physical doesn’t play better then the digital no reason to pay hundreds of dollars to a scalper I even searched on ebay if these games that I bought are even physical in ebay they didn’t show up when means only digital

Glad I pigged out for the most part buying used 360 games when I got my console in 2018 when people were practically giving them away. Annoying AF that there's an "artificial" speculative market pressure like the online store closure hiking prices so badly. Got my PS3 at the same time. I usually aimed for the 360 version for multiplats, especially earlier titles of the generation. Got most of the games I liked, including some of the weirder esoteric stuff. But some of these other titles are a lost cause. I'll probably RGH my console in the near future.
Sadly the backwards compat programme finished 2 years ago (we got some nice final editions like Ridge Racer and the DoA og xbox titles). I wonder if MS might reopen it or something with the store 360 store closure.
You used to be able to buy a used 360 for like $40 back then. And games were very cheap, now they've all gone up drastically!
@@thegamethrifter tell me about it! That said, I found an xbox 360 slim with 4 games (Forza 4, a CoD, GTA5, Prototype) and a kinect for £38 at a Cash Convertor last weekend which I copped for my brother when I was staying out of town for work. Sadly they forgot to include the 250gb hard drive which was supposed to be part of the deal, but they're still cheap enough for me to buy elsewhere rather than waste time and fuel trying to go back to the same store with the receipt.
It felt more real for me yesterday as I was cataloguing some of my collection and the prices are certainly creeping up at CEX here in UK. Eg Blazblue Continuum Shift was £1.50 when I purchased in November 2023, today its £3.50, not looking forward to future increases of niche titles, especially for their definitive versions. And Test Drive Unlimited was £3 in November 2023, but £6 today. I'll probably make a habit of sweeping up the sub £5 games I kept putting off whenever I go to retro shops in future... there's gonna be a few 7/10s in that stack, the bargains can't all be awful nowadays 😅
@@naliboi93 I find some good deals at Yard Sales and things like that. But overall the deals have gone way down.
Is blur for sale on Xbox 360 store ?
No, only physical.
I love the video! You should mention The Cursed Crusade, Bound By Flame, Quake 4, Battle Fantasia, and Rage!
Only had so much time, but you're definitely right!
Great video! Would love to see more like this and maybe down the line (in a few years) you can do PS4/XB1? 360 and PS3 are starting to creep up in price so, like you, that's what I'm collecting right now, but the generation after is dirt cheap right now. Just an idea cuz I like your channel and I don't want you to run out of ideas lol. Hope that helps!
I have an Xbox One and a PS4 video up! I collect for pretty much everything!
I have some ideas, would like to do top 10 for this platform or maybe top 10 Star Wars games ect
Physical isn’t the issue right now it’s the exclusive digital games that can’t be bought physical the last day is July 29 this year
Problem is, it creates a faux run on the physical games too. So the prices are going up all around.
@@thegamethrifter when you talk about prices going up that’s scalpers not stores making them costing more money I’ve been buying the games that you can’t buy physical and can’t buy on the Xbox one their only on the 360 store if you joined Xbox live gold you should of gotten so many free games without paying for them over 80 games to own not like PlayStation not one PS3 game was free to keep with plus
@@bryancook6345 Nah, I have multiple local stores that sell retro and 360 is hot right now. Prices on a lot of stuff is going up. Physical prices will continue to go up because Xbox in particular is cutting out physical as an option.
@@thegamethrifter I didn’t know the Xbox 360 store is so cheap for the games you can buy physical like the evil within costing $59.99 where PS3 is selling it for $19.99 the Xbox 360 games you can buy physical are very expensive in the 360 store I only buy what’s exclusive to the 360 store that say arcade means you can’t buy physical
Very good list/picks
Thanks so much!
I want Scarface backwards compatible
Would be great!
I’ve been watching your videos and enjoying them. Lately I’ve been building up my PlayStation 2 and 3 collection. I have a few Xbox consoles but for whatever reason I mainly collect for the PS1 -4, Vita and PSP plus Nintendo 64 and later systems. Just bought LA Noir, Midnight Club3 Dub Edition,Burnout 3,Shox, several NFS games,Maximo, Prince of Persia Trilogy, 007 Nightfire, 007 Agent under Fire and Everything or Nothing plus Red Dead Redemption and Undead Nightmare . Just got a modded GameCube console since those games are rather expensive. I’m good till the summer 😂
That's awesome to hear! Glad to see people build up their library and enjoy the videos! That's a nice list you've curated so far!
Surprised Wet is so expensive now. I love it but these prices are nuts. I almost want to sell.
It'll probably go up some more as well!
When you talk about physical games they did go up only on ebay and ebay is known to have scalpers and when you put videos like this the scalpers are watching your videos and then put the price up what you need to worry about is what’s going to be delisted forever not what’s physical that will never be gone the 360 store has a lot of games that will be delisted very soon that’s exclusive to the 360 store only
I have local retro game stores that I go to regularly, and prices have gone up across the board. I've been collecting a long, long time and these things come in waves. Not too long ago 3DS games and even the system was cheap and now it's crazy expensive.
@@thegamethrifter so do I have store like disc replay they told me they watch ebay prices not worth going to
@@TomZack-re5cv I guess it depends on the area that you're in .
I think you were showing video of amazing spider-man 1 not 2, maybe a small error but in my research I found that the second game sucked. Thanks for the video
Was it 1? Hmmmm, I'll go back and check my recording. I might have labeled it wrong. Thanks for the heads up!
Personally, I don’t care about digital only games. They can be altered with patches or have their license revoked at any time.
It's the sad future! I am a big time physical game collector personally.
@@thegamethrifter True. My amazon account was recently compromised and it ended being closed. I lost access to all of the ebooks and
audiobooks that I bought from them,
since they were tied to me account.
If I my Xbox account was similarly closed, I wonder what would happen to my digital game library?
@@majorgear1021 Sad thing is, people can lose their entire digital game library in this same way.
Lmao that was the amazing Spider-Man 1 gameplay
Yes, as has been pointed out previously I labeled it wrong in my recording.
Microsoft own Activision now, so there is a chance that the Transformer games will get a remaster, just can’t get behind paying £30 for War for Cybertron when it’s multiplayer or Horde mode doesn’t work 😢
They already did on XB1 and PS4 but only digital and they’re delisted.
@@arioca ahh nice to know, cheers
Remasters these days usually take too many liberties with the original game, so I’d prefer the original.
They had remasters but are now de-listed. I know there's no multiplayer anymore but the campaign is still a ton of fun!
Too many super-heroes games sadly. Although still better than sports games.
I liked some of the hero games! Hulk, Spider-Man, Captain America and even the 2nd Iron Man game were pretty good IMO.
Of course stuff like Arkham series were fantastic!
Great video.
Glad you enjoyed it
Great Video 👍🏻
Thanks for the visit
Nice video new subs here from philippines i own xbox 360 too
Thanks so much!
Wet is boring and blur is boring you want great car games go buy ridge racer Forza horizon
Those are opinions, I disagree though! I do think Forza Horizon is great too though.
Yeah go buy these games from scalpers no thanks I’m done with ebay for those who didn’t buy super Mario all stars physical it’s going for $1000 and up but who’s stupid to pay that much
You don't have to use scalpers or eBay. I often find games at Thrift Stores or garage sales!
VIVA PINATA SPOTTED 0:10 OHHHH MYYY GOODDDDDDD
I have some other 360 videos and 1 of them has Viva Piñata! I love that series!
No I don’t think I will, give it 7 months I’ll pluck them when you can’t gouge me 300% upcharge for used
Prices on many of these will get worse as time goes along.
You clearly didn’t play Amazing Spider-Man 2 because you’re showing footage of the first game 😂
It's my fault, looks like I labeled it wrong on my recording. I have hundreds of game recordings and I guess there was a mix up.
I sold my copy of Deadpool for 90 dollars
Not a bad price!
These games suck if they were any good there wood if been a blur 2 or a Wet 2 by now these are 360 games not Xbox one games
So you're saying only good games get sequels? I cannot begin to stress how wrong of a take that is....lol
@@thegamethrifter I bought these games from GameStop at cheaper prices GameStop is the only store I trust in prices cause you get 7 days to return them if you don’t like them blur will never beat ridge racer games it didn’t make it Digital I love car games but not every car game did you ever play the demo Wet it sucks also can’t force bad games to play great crash bandicoot 5 plays better then crash bandicoot that came before when Microsoft adds all the Activision games on game pass you’ll get all the great games if you have a PS4 PS5 have plus premium then you shouldn’t have a problem getting all the games monthly that Microsoft removed months ago that’s why they destroyed Xbox live gold but they could of still could of gave free Xbox one Xbox series X 4 games Microsoft destroyed themselves let Sony PlayStation beat them again they increased the ultimate game pass price nobody is complaining
@@stevestars2966 Understandable!
Videos like these just inflate prices. Just pure panic. It's the store closing down in July it's mostly DLC and digital only games that will be lost. A lot of games on the store can be bought physically. It's just pure panic and fear
There's over 200 games that will be lost forever when the store closes, and there games aren't available physically. No one is going to inflate prices based on someone who 3k subscribers on UA-cam, I assure you lol
@@thegamethrifter The prices are inflating on physical games I can assure you. Plenty of evidence on Ebay and other sites. My issue isn't with the 200 or so games on the store that will be lost forever my issue is all these youtubers making videos with phrases like" buy these Xbox games now before they become expensive" and " rare Xbox 360 games to buy now before they rise in price". One well know youtuber already regrets putting up a video saying he went to a store to buy Infernal I think it was and it had no price as it just came in and the guy behind the counter said he'll check the price and he went on Ebay and quoted the guy 100$ because it's now one of those games every youtuber is talking about as a rare game or rising in price so it's nothing to do with the store closure .I'm not trying to belittle you or start some sort of witch hunt and I love what you guys do with your content and gaming videos but it's getting out of hand.
@@niallmclarney I don't think there's anything nefarious going on. Personally, I just see things creeping up and the prices tend to ebb and flow on various consoles at various times. Like right now is a great time to collect for original Xbox. But in a few years those prices might skyrocket.
@@thegamethrifter I think videos telling people to "buy these games before they go up in price " doesn't help as people see these videos with youtubers who they follow and take every word as gospel. people watch similar videos and go straight on Ebay and other websites especially a website and shop like we have here in Europe called CEX who notoriously up prices so they definitely will now. In regards to the original Xbox games you'd think they would go up in price first being an older console.All this hysteria is because the xbox 360 store is closing but that's only digital content games and DLC and quite an amount of games on the store are available digitally.
@@niallmclarney I mean I am always going to yard sales and garage sales and seeing cheap games. Local stores usually have fair prices, and to be fair....some games are harder to come by. It's always easy to spot people who don't know about games because they price Mario Bro's 3 for $60 or something. Popular games don't mean the games are expensive.
It’s pronounced “a-cross” not “a-cross-t”
There is no T.
So many awesome grammar teachers on the internet! Absolutely love it! Appreciate it the tip my friend. I'll make sure to annunciate better for you in the future!
I have RGH 3.0 😢
Really?
Fomotubers a new breed of content creator
It's fomo to do videos on games that are going up in price? I guess that's what you get for letting other people know. Guess my video on the 360 store closing was also fomo. Fomo this and fomo that, everything's a fomo..
Man it's a great channel. It's just sad resellers are already scalping the crap out of these videos. Don't be offended. Buy now almost too late... That's fomo. But I guess some of us will benefit from your vid.
@@ADa89mixus I have a really small channel, I'm not sure I have much sway lol. I've seen some bigger channels talk about this stuff but I don't think it comes from a place of bad intentions. I think right now is the best time to collect for the Xbox 360. Some things are going up, but more will surely follow.
Bought spider man 2 a thrift store 5.99
Great deal!
Just ordered 10 of each, thanks for the tip 👍
No problem 👍
Why? I've had 3 360s all different edition releases all die from red ring of death. Games were fun ya but I can buy ps2 games and actually play them on my 20 plus year old systems that work. Cool if ya collect but better if they can be played. If they were backwards compatible maybe I'd spend the money but feels like they will inevitably become a collection of paper weights. And I prefer xbox to ps to this day.
The 360's after 2008 are all very reliable.
I think you for the videos I appreciate I LIKE Playing xbox 360 video games for Fun
No problem! Thank you for watching!
Stop driving the prices then
Not driving any prices. It's such a fallacy that some small UA-camr could do that. It's supply and demand, and even with that, there's always deals to be found.
@@thegamethrifter I'm parodying folk that say that don't worry lad, video was class
@@ZeusWeus Appreciate it lol
It’s videos like this that are increasing the demand for these games. Completely irresponsible and bad for the collecting community. And it doesn’t matter the size of the channel - the video still gets recommended. Just stop.
No, I don't think I will. I'm just a guy who likes talking videogames. Anyone can still find deals out in the world. Heck, I found some awesome ones already today.
I already bought some Xbox 360 games that’s going to be gone forever when the Xbox 360 store closes I don’t care about physical games that’s going to be with us forever if you want to pay scalpers money go right ahead their asking for $300 the Xbox store is asking for $19.99 the physical doesn’t play better then the digital no reason to pay hundreds of dollars to a scalper I even searched on ebay if these games that I bought are even physical in ebay they didn’t show up when means only digital
I'm trying to buy more before it closes, but the store is kinda slow and broken!
Haha, read your username as "Game Grifter" :D
That's funny! But actually I do a lot of thrifting for games lol
LMAO not 1 game list i have ever played i have like toat full of xbox 360 games and i have none of these 😆 i have GTA call of duty gears of war
Better get on it!
FOMO FOMO FOMO
Well legit, these games are harder to come by.
