The Xbox 360 is definitely the hottest console to collect for right now. I'm glad I'm almost done with my Xbox 360 collecting this year. The marketplace closing down is driving people into panic mode in buying up games. I recommend not forgetting about the dlc for these games everyone is buying. Once the store is gone, all of the dlc and digital only Xbox live arcade games will be gone forever. Yes some of these huge gaming UA-camrs are also driving FOMO with their Xbox 360 videos. I've seen resellers buying up every copy of random games and reselling them for 3 to 6 times what they bought them for. The best bet is to wait until next year to buy some of these games once the hype slows down. I recommend getting the Mafia 2 platinum hits version that comes with the DLC on the second disc, similar to the Dragon Age Origins Ultimate Edition. Keep up the great work on the channel my friend.
Once I tie up some loose ends on 360 I’m going to be taking a nice long break from game collecting. And yes!!! 100% people should not forget that DLC is also going along with it which is a true shame. I’m going to make sure to buy up whatever DLC I’m missing for my favorites or see if there is a definitive version that has it all on disc. I know some popular UA-camrs that bring it up these games and driving up the prices isn’t their intention because it affects them too. It’s just an unfortunate side effect because the audience for them is so big. Thank you for watching and commenting!
@@ScorpioCesarcade i know, i guess my dumbass thought "nobody is gonna really wanna pay inflated prices for 360 and ps3 games". Well look who is the dumbass now😅
The same, I mean, I had a lot of games at 1 time back in the day when it was the new system but I didn't keep hardly any of my games. Have a couple but still though. I'm probably gonna have to start making a list as well.
Thanks a ton for doing an update about Too Human being free to download (on 360 AND on xbox One btw!). I heard about that one a few weeks ago, glad the word is getting out about this game at least. Giving my man here a sub for the genuine honesty!
I’m sure there is fun to be had with it, the combat system feels like it’ll take some getting used to. Silicon Knights had a pretty rocky track record though but hey, can’t go wrong with free! Thank you for subbing! 😅
Great video, brother! I definitely wanna pick up a physical of Bullet Witch! Loved it, have it on the PC! It's already flying up past 60 CIB. Craziness!
@@ScorpioCesarcadejust picked up my copy CIB in excellent condition with poster for 36.00 at my local gamestore. Couldn’t pass it up at that price and condition. I also got Velvet Assassin for 16.00 CIB in excellent condition as well. Both are worth more than double of what I paid for it
See this is how you bring proper collecting awareness without having to create clickbating thumbnails or say "get these games now!" "Hurry before its too late!" Its funny the youtuber who doesnt think he's creating fomo commented still gaslighting instead of taking accountability that (he may not be soley responsible but) still plays a part in it. The flatout game is a perfect example. Seeing games like darkest of days, and hells vengeance spike after those videos drop is crazy. But good room for discussion.

Glad you picked up Wet! It’s a super rad game and you’re right it was a lot more expensive on the PS3 for awhile but with the boom in 360 games it’s shot up. Dragon Age Origins is one of my favorite games of all time so I love to see this sick collectors edition. Lol Damnation is one I snagged a long time ago but I know how bad it is. Or from what I’ve heard from other gamers. I’ll give it a shot for myself sometime. Heck yeah man, glad you got Ninja Blade. Weird and crazy are my type of games. Awesome haul all around
Having loved Mass Effect I have a feeling I’d really enjoy Dragons Age and all the DLC. I even picked up Dragon Age 2 and Inquisition, were those any good? Damnation feels low budget, could’ve used another year of polish kind of game but I’m also a sucker for 5 out of 10 games. 😅
Try & find the "Mafia 2 GOTY Edition", which comes with all the expansions & DLC add-ons bud! "Flatout Ultimate Carnage" is a remaster of "Flatout 2" on the original Xbox. It is one of my Top 5 favorite arcade racers ever made, very addictive racing!
Hey hey Dean! I noticed we have similar taste when it comes to this generation of games, I think you'll enjoy my future pickups as well. Is that the same as the Definitive Edition that came out recently? I'm currently playing through the Defintiive Edition of Mafia 1 and I'm hooked into that story. I had no idea Flatout Ultimate Carnage was a remaster of Flatout 2. That would explain why they never called it Flatout 3! Thanks for clarifying that for me!
@ScorpioCesarcade No, the "Mafia 2" is rather a Platinum Hits Grey box with (Mafia 2 Game / 3 Additional Story Packs / 4 Style Packs) listed at the top of the box, just above the logo. This is all on the disc so you get everything forever.

@@vinniecorleone62 Oh! Snap, going to have to hunt that one down if I don’t ever get my hands on a physical of the Definitive Edition. Thank you for clarifying that up for me Dean!
You nailed mentioning in the beginning that certain bigger UA-cam channels creating this sense of FOMO, hence the inflated pricing for many of these games. Also, love the intro for this video! That Mafia II Unboxing isn't questionable...that's gold lol! I decided to nab Wet finally on PS3 while watching this video. Everyone is going for those 360 games now, but I'm gonna try to wrap up my PS3 collection of games I want since they're still on the cheaper end thankfully! Ninja Blade is one I'd definitely have interest in playing on the 360! Great video man!
Hey Marcello! I get that it may not be their intention when they talk about certain games but it’s just a side effect since they have more eyes on them. More eyes mean their words have more weight. Yeah man, the badabing rap is legendary amongst my YT friends. So glad you got Wet, I think everyone should get Wet at some point. 😉 But in all honesty it’s a great game no matter the platform, shame it never got a sequel. Your PS3 collection was already pretty stacked! Hope you get to complete it now. Ninja Blade is awesome man, if you get a 360 you need to check it out.
@@ScorpioCesarcade Lmao at the "Wet" comment. Yeah, the PS3 collection is fairly stacked right now, and thankfully I already got a majority of the games I've wanted for the console. Now I'm just getting a few more I was interested in back in the day that I skipped at the time (and luckily still quite cheap). Wet though...even the PS3 version is going up in price.
got my sub, great video :) keep it up. Your right about the price gone crazy games I could pick up for under 7 and now 25 across the board at multiple shops
Sad times but all of these games were available for an over 15 years at this point. I hate when I procrastinate. 😵 Thank you for subbing! I got another video in this series due next week.
Ayy, great video man! Love the thumbnail too. And I notice that green lighting in the background, surely that must be deliberate for this Xbox 360 themed video 😉
I always think about color when it comes to background lighting, what I wear and for the thumbnail and how it relates to the specific console or game that I talk about. You have a good eye Upper Nimbus, I'm glad someone picked up on that!
The writing was on the wall as this has happened to other consoles before and will happen to the PS3 at some point. Possibly down the line after the buyer panic subsides prices may drop for some games. Great video.
Thank you for watching! Prices will always rise and fall, look at what happened when Spec Ops The Line got delisted. I couldn’t believe people were buying that game for $130 on eBay. Now it’s gone back down to around $35.
I remember the hype for Too Human. It was supposed to be this amazing 4 player co-op adventure, that almost 1 month before launch got delayed and I think it's just 2 player co-op.
It definitely was over hyped, I remember when Game Informer dedicated an entire magazine to cover the game. Everything looked so promising and then, well lol
Yeah, unfortunately that one has seen a steady incline in price and I don’t think it’ll ever come down. But you may be lucky if you check newly listed on eBay in the future once all this panic dies down.
Oh yeah, that reminds me I had someone call me a racist all those years ago in that video. I was laughing cause I have Italian in my heritage. 😂😂😂 I appreciate you!
Thank you Switchbored, thankfully I don’t see the prices on those ever being at risk of going up since they’re so common. I was just thinking of how much I want to play Halo 3 on Xbox Live again. 🥲
X360 is my favorite all time console. I did grown found of PS3 in the last 3 years since it's collection surpased the Xbox one but PS3 controller sucks at FPS and racing games, when it comes to controller there is no comparison.
I only ever preferred my PS3 for exclusives and fighting games. I could never enjoy a fighter on the 360 but I agree, for FPS and Racing games the 360 controller felt best in my opinion.
Great video my guy. Yea you're right back on the day I always had to trade stuff in but hey we did what we had to. I love the 360 and always have but I honestly have been buying games like crazy for it and not for fear of fomo but just because I love the system. I think I e bought 50 games maybe for 250 over the last month. But yra great video dude very well done
Hey Lame Dad! Totally agree with you. The 360 was my favorite during its generation and there are so many games that are at least decent. Your collection sounds insane!
Good information here. I never had a 360 ever since mine got the rrod back in the day. My PS3 still works but the disc drive broke. might have to get it fixed eventually.
I feel your pain man, I had to go through the RROD three times before finally getting the Slim that I've been using to this day. Hopefully you can get that PS3 serviced. Is it the original fat model?
Oh damn! You were there in the trenches huh?! I only got to experience the midnight launch for one console and that was for the Wii. I could imagine how hype everyone was for the 360 launch.
Managed to get Asura’s Wrath on 360 for $40 on eBay the other day. Be patient and don’t spend anywhere near $90. Search eBay daily with newly listed and lowest price+shipping filters and you’ll get it!
I just happened to acquire a free 360 game just yesterday. I discovered it in an abandoned home we were demolishing. It's called Fracture. I'd never heard of it, but the cover art is nice
Once had a modded an Xbox 360 but ended up getting banned. 😂 That was back then when it was still early into the consoles life cycle though. I may have to consider modding one of mine with Aurora someday!
I started seriously collecting Gen 7 in 2018 when PS3 prices were much higher the 360 prices. Luckily I only missed out on two heavy hitters before 360 fomo struck, Infernal and Zoids. I sniped infernal for under 70 and am now working on finding zoids under 60
@@ScorpioCesarcade It’s actually decent. Not worth what it’s going for right now by any stretch of the imagination, but in terms of low print hidden gems, it’s a good one.
Can’t stress enough how much I love backwards compatibility on the One X/Series X. The elimination of screen tearing is another big bonus in my opinion.
Ive found so many hot titles at pawn shops and found a nice lot on marketplace that the seller had priced 2 months prior to the 360 price boom. Got culdcept saga for 39 and operation darkness for 75
Oh man, nice! I don’t have many pawn shops in my area so I wouldn’t know where to look and I doubt they have any games. Great job getting those two! Everyone wants them now. 😵💫
The US is so different. All those games cost virtually nothing in the UK. Most valuable 360 games I have are Need for Speed Most Wanted, Fallout New Vegas Ultimate and Silent Hill HD collection which have been pricey for a while
I've noticed that as well. Games are dirt cheap there compared to here. Good for people who just want to play their games. I've also noticed the few times I've imported PAL games (On PS3 since it's region free) they are almost always new and sealed.
Flat out Carnage is 10 bucks here in Europe. But then we have games that are rare that are cheap in the US. It’s crazy how some games shoot up in price. I remember Persona 3 on PS2 being available for 10 bucks for years new and not a single copy was sold. Now people are selling it for like 200 bucks. I’m not into buying games to sell them though. I don’t really care if a game is worth 1 dollar or 100 dollars. If I had a game worth 1000 then sure I’d probably sell it but the higher end you go the worse the selling experience is. When I sold a few rare PS1 games people wanted 100 photos of the discs and essays of descriptions over every microscopic imperfection even if the discs looked like new to me. Not worth the trouble.
The reselling business doesn’t seem like a fun one. I have a few friends who sell games on Instagram that are genuinely good people who do it for the love of the hobby. I’m generally not too picky with buying but water/humidity damaged cover arts and manuals are my biggest pet peeve. Insane how you can see a game for like $5 one day and it’s $150 many years later, especially the crap games. 😵💫
Oh I definitely recommend that you do! The 360 may seem like a crazy venture even now but I assure you a ton of games out there aren’t expensive at all.
Yeah it’s nuts how high the prices are getting I seen operation darkness for 360 shoot up to 200 and some people having them for 350 I’m like what luckily I traded a guy in my local area 2 Xbox one controllers that I found at the thrift for a CIB copy
Probably a game that isn't talked about and is fairly uncommon is Quantum Theory. I just managed to snag a copy myself the other day. It's the only shooter I've seen Koei Tecmo make and it looks fun. I'm looking forward to playing it.
Duuuuude yes! Quantum Theory was another one that came and went and I still have to get although I may end up just getting it on PS3 at this point. Did you ever play Inversion?
@@ScorpioCesarcade I have it not played it yet. I did play Hunted: The Demons Forge recently. Lots of fun, it's literally Gears of War. Set in medieval times.
I think just like the 3DS store closing, this will be a buy the hype, sell the news event. Prices will come back down again. Some 3DS games are down 40-50% from the highs around the hype period. My advice is be patient and play what you have. Especially if you have been sitting in a large collection of 360 games already. Honestly most of the best games haven’t really gone up in price and are less than $10-20 still.
Oh no doubt in my mind games will stabilize at some point. None of these were ludicrously expensive anyways. The only one that I don’t see dropping anytime soon is Ninja Blade considering it’s a From Software game.
Well, I'm glad I bought everything I wanted for the Xbox 360 prior to all the price increases and really didn't spend that much on it all within the past few years. Only had about 10 games prior to that. I'd advise people to make up their own minds, make a list of what they want. That way they are not wasting money on useless games that they will never play. Most of these recommended games I've seen in a lot of these videos I wouldn't waste a dime on.
Yeah, I totally get you on that. Thankfully my 360 collection is already pretty solid but I still have so many loose ends I want to resolve. Making a list is the key you’re right, and I tend to agree that most games on these recommended lists don’t appeal to everyone.
Perfect example: Crash Time autobahn: been looking for a copy at a reasonable price recently. it was about $30, which I think was a bit high for that game already. past 2 weeks it ballooned to $100+!!!! WTF?! not that important to me for that price. I have a couple others im looking for, mostly racing games, so hopefully the same doesnt happen to those others.
Legit never heard anyone talk about that game until those popular UA-camrs brought it up. I highly doubt it’s worth anywhere near that. Same with Fatal Inertia. You want great racers on 360, try Flatout, Full Auto, PGR4, Blur, Ridge Racer 6 to name a few.
All great titles! Did you know Shadows of the Damned is getting a remaster soon? No solid release date yet but it looks good! I’m wondering if I should wait for it or get it on 360.
Those are some great finds. It sucks about the Xbox 360 Marketplace and its just going to have games go to up in price. I still have to pick up some from the Marketplace before it disappears.
Every time I used Facebook marketplace I’ve never had a good experience. People are just unwilling to respond or ship anything. Seems like it works best for local pickups though.
This recent influx of "Xbox 360 game prices going up" fear-mongering uploads on UA-cam due to the upcoming Marketplace shut down is getting utterly pathetic and are a disgrace for the gaming community. It's mostly dishonest resellers who aren’t gamers trying to artificially inflate prices with obvious fomo tactics to get rid of a bunch of Xbox 360 games for a lot more than what they originally payed for.
Pretty much the same people who started buying up all the copies of games like Spec Ops The Line when that got delisted and were selling them for like $150. Not exactly the same situation but you get what I mean.
@@ScorpioCesarcade The one mistake I keep seeing made by some UA-camrs is base their high prices solely on eBay or Amazon asking prices, not what they're sold for. I like that you mentioned another source. For example, for years I kept hearing that Spider-Man: Edge of Time was ultra expensive, but I recently bought it CIB in great shape for $30 at my local game store, so the reality is that it's still possible to find good deals and these inflated X360 prices will eventually go down once this fomo/hype is gone after the store shuts down. We saw that happening before when Sony announced their shutdown for the PS3 store but backed out.
lol welp since I neglected to buy 360 games while they were cheap now I’ll have to shell out some money if I want to build up a decent collection again.
Don’t just buy random games. Collect what you’ll actually play. Don’t buy overpriced games that released on multiple consoles you’re just making your self look dumb.
Years ago I would just buy random games. That's how I ended up with all of these games cheap. I'm quite happy with my collection. Now I just need time to play them all....that's a good point, lol.
The PS3 had its moment with the FOMO panic when Sony announced the store closure. It wasn’t long before Sony saw the backlash and changed their mind so that’s why things have calmed down on that front. Wait till they really mean it. 😨
@@ScorpioCesarcade Yeah i would think but even once that other fomo comes and goes chances are 99% of the games will still remain higher than they are now after that. so it is still good to buy what you like now vs later.
@@Bird-Birdy-Love Yeah some of the PS3 games that shot up haven't come down to earth. I only had one Armored Core game before it's FOMO and they haven't settled. Tornado Outbreak is another I was looking at that hasn't come down much. While some games have come down, like 3D dot heroes, they are still quite a bit more than they were before.
Thing is ...pretty much the ps3 and xbox 360 are the last consoles that are really collectable for... since they were the last gen to have the whole game on the disk... without internet all the consoles after (appart from switch and handhelds) will be useless. Your buying a bit of paper encased in plastic for the new consoles these days. Worthless. Sorry and the Wii...
100% this and it hurts to see how pointless buying a physical copy of a game is these days. Look at Star Wars Outlaws, a game I was looking forward to and you apparently need an internet connection to even install it…like why?
I collect exclusively PlayStation and Nintendo disc consoles like Wii and GameCube but I hope you Xbox fan boys can snag some games before they really shoot up in price. Try your local GameStop and thrift stores, I see 360 games all the time. Don’t buy them from eBay resellers
@@ScorpioCesarcade poor choice of words I suppose lol but nothing wrong with being a fan boy of something. I am 100% a fan boy of PlayStation and proud of it 😂
@@jeremy9474 I put the fan boy stuff away a long time ago and grew to love and appreciate everything. Being loyal to a certain brand isn’t horrible though so I appreciate your honesty.
Some dropped a bit, but some are still quite expensive. If anyone thinks the 360 games will drop to what they were before, not likely. Will they drop? Of course, but not to the dirt cheap priices they were. I actually think this gen (Ps3/360) has to most long term potential as far as holding value.
DO NOT BUY 360 GAMES NOW. These games will all drop back down in 1-2 months same as the PS3 games when they shut down their digital store. 360 games were produced in an insane abundance the sheer amount of copies out there will not meet the demand and eventually they’ll all flood back into the market when this ridiculous hype dies down.
While that is a possibility, the difference here is that Microsoft isn’t coming out and saying they’re changing their mind like Sony did. Granted I have no doubt games prices will somewhat drop once all the FOMO buyers get what they want but it’ll never be as cheap as it was I think.
The Xbox 360 is definitely the hottest console to collect for right now. I'm glad I'm almost done with my Xbox 360 collecting this year.
The marketplace closing down is driving people into panic mode in buying up games. I recommend not forgetting about the dlc for these games everyone is buying. Once the store is gone, all of the dlc and digital only Xbox live arcade games will be gone forever.
Yes some of these huge gaming UA-camrs are also driving FOMO with their Xbox 360 videos. I've seen resellers buying up every copy of random games and reselling them for 3 to 6 times what they bought them for. The best bet is to wait until next year to buy some of these games once the hype slows down.
I recommend getting the Mafia 2 platinum hits version that comes with the DLC on the second disc, similar to the Dragon Age Origins Ultimate Edition.

Yeah man, the badabing rap is legendary amongst my YT friends. So glad you got Wet, I think everyone should get Wet at some point. 😉 But in all honesty it’s a great game no matter the platform, shame it never got a sequel.
Your PS3 collection was already pretty stacked! Hope you get to complete it now. Ninja Blade is awesome man, if you get a 360 you need to check it out.
@@ScorpioCesarcade Lmao at the "Wet" comment. Yeah, the PS3 collection is fairly stacked right now, and thankfully I already got a majority of the games I've wanted for the console. Now I'm just getting a few more I was interested in back in the day that I skipped at the time (and luckily still quite cheap). Wet though...even the PS3 version is going up in price.
got my sub, great video :) keep it up. Your right about the price gone crazy games I could pick up for under 7 and now 25 across the board at multiple shops
Sad times but all of these games were available for an over 15 years at this point. I hate when I procrastinate. 😵 Thank you for subbing! I got another video in this series due next week.
Ayy, great video man! Love the thumbnail too. And I notice that green lighting in the background, surely that must be deliberate for this Xbox 360 themed video 😉
I always think about color when it comes to background lighting, what I wear and for the thumbnail and how it relates to the specific console or game that I talk about. You have a good eye Upper Nimbus, I'm glad someone picked up on that!
@@ScorpioCesarcade Ayy, I had a feeling! 😎
The writing was on the wall as this has happened to other consoles before and will happen to the PS3 at some point. Possibly down the line after the buyer panic subsides prices may drop for some games. Great video.
Thank you for watching! Prices will always rise and fall, look at what happened when Spec Ops The Line got delisted. I couldn’t believe people were buying that game for $130 on eBay. Now it’s gone back down to around $35.
@@ScorpioCesarcade yeah, sellers prey on those who are willing to pay top dollar. Patience can save you money sometimes.
I remember the hype for Too Human. It was supposed to be this amazing 4 player co-op adventure, that almost 1 month before launch got delayed and I think it's just 2 player co-op.
It definitely was over hyped, I remember when Game Informer dedicated an entire magazine to cover the game. Everything looked so promising and then, well lol
Been looking to get blood on the sand for the low low…but damn that’s an expensive title!!
Yeah, unfortunately that one has seen a steady incline in price and I don’t think it’ll ever come down. But you may be lucky if you check newly listed on eBay in the future once all this panic dies down.
You have a nice set up bro!
Hey thank you my dude! 😁
As an Italian-American, I’m very offended by the clip of your Mafia 2 review.
Just kidding 😄. Great video, dude.
Oh yeah, that reminds me I had someone call me a racist all those years ago in that video. I was laughing cause I have Italian in my heritage. 😂😂😂 I appreciate you!
Great video, I don't collect 360 games but i have a lot of nostalgia for the classics like gears of war and halo 3
Thank you Switchbored, thankfully I don’t see the prices on those ever being at risk of going up since they’re so common. I was just thinking of how much I want to play Halo 3 on Xbox Live again. 🥲
X360 is my favorite all time console. I did grown found of PS3 in the last 3 years since it's collection surpased the Xbox one but PS3 controller sucks at FPS and racing games, when it comes to controller there is no comparison.
I only ever preferred my PS3 for exclusives and fighting games. I could never enjoy a fighter on the 360 but I agree, for FPS and Racing games the 360 controller felt best in my opinion.
Wow, I only paid $8 for Ninja Blade CIB. Got multiple copies of Wet only paid $10 for
How long ago was that?
2 years. Was just looking at I have 2 CIB copies of Wet. And a loose disc I only paid $2 for and have a CIB ps3 also. Forgot I even had them lol
God I love that music in the beginning from the bonus stage. I would make a song with it
Hell yeah man, Lode Runner 3D represent!!!
@@ScorpioCesarcade I need this song in my life
Man, you are absolutely right PS3 games were way more expensive than 360 now, it's the opposite.
There are still outliers where the PS3 version would fetch a higher price than the 360 version but I don't see that lasting.
Great video my guy. Yea you're right back on the day I always had to trade stuff in but hey we did what we had to. I love the 360 and always have but I honestly have been buying games like crazy for it and not for fear of fomo but just because I love the system. I think I e bought 50 games maybe for 250 over the last month. But yra great video dude very well done
Hey Lame Dad! Totally agree with you. The 360 was my favorite during its generation and there are so many games that are at least decent. Your collection sounds insane!
Good information here. I never had a 360 ever since mine got the rrod back in the day. My PS3 still works but the disc drive broke. might have to get it fixed eventually.
I feel your pain man, I had to go through the RROD three times before finally getting the Slim that I've been using to this day. Hopefully you can get that PS3 serviced. Is it the original fat model?
@@ScorpioCesarcade my PS3 is actually the slim model.
I just bought the Flatout Ultimate Carnage on Mercari for $29.99 thanks for the tip
Ayyyye my man!!!!! Enjoy it! Stunt mode is a blast! 👊🏼
Lol this is fun to see also love all the collector content…so glad I got out of it it’s not fun with social media it just isn’t.
Yeeeah, social media is a curse.
Thank you for the videos I LIKE Playing xbox 360 video games
You’re welcome! I’ve got more 360 content coming soon.
You are awesome 👌 👏 👍
Damn I remember always seeing Mafia 2 sealed at Walmart for $5. Now I don’t see it anywhere :’(
I don’t think Mafia 2 will be that hard to find online. Keep searching and go for the platinum edition with all the DLC!
Yo what up brother, man the 360 is one of my favorite consoles of all time!! I waited in line for like 13 hours to get one at midnight haha
Oh damn! You were there in the trenches huh?! I only got to experience the midnight launch for one console and that was for the Wii. I could imagine how hype everyone was for the 360 launch.
I wanted an asuras wrath, it’s freakin 94 bucks. Still gonna get it. Got a ultimate marvel vs capcom 3 for 360 yesterday
Managed to get Asura’s Wrath on 360 for $40 on eBay the other day. Be patient and don’t spend anywhere near $90. Search eBay daily with newly listed and lowest price+shipping filters and you’ll get it!
I just happened to acquire a free 360 game just yesterday. I discovered it in an abandoned home we were demolishing. It's called Fracture. I'd never heard of it, but the cover art is nice
Hell yeah! I picked it up last year, one of those third person shooters that people forgot about. I love how you can deform the terrain in it.
I'm an og xboxer since day 1, got myself a 360 modded with aurora some games on hdd BUT can play all my xbox & 360 games loving it
Once had a modded an Xbox 360 but ended up getting banned. 😂 That was back then when it was still early into the consoles life cycle though. I may have to consider modding one of mine with Aurora someday!
@@ScorpioCesarcade well worth doing, obvs can't do online now but to play fave og games we'll worth it
I started seriously collecting Gen 7 in 2018 when PS3 prices were much higher the 360 prices. Luckily I only missed out on two heavy hitters before 360 fomo struck, Infernal and Zoids. I sniped infernal for under 70 and am now working on finding zoids under 60
Funny how I never heard of Infernal until til recently, is that game any good?
@@ScorpioCesarcade It’s actually decent. Not worth what it’s going for right now by any stretch of the imagination, but in terms of low print hidden gems, it’s a good one.
Holy shit these pickups are awesome!!! good shit brother Cesar!
Oh you ain’t seen nothing yet Brother Belmont!
Been collecting 360 a min especially with some of my favorites getting 4k updates / frame boost on series x
Can’t stress enough how much I love backwards compatibility on the One X/Series X. The elimination of screen tearing is another big bonus in my opinion.
Ive found so many hot titles at pawn shops and found a nice lot on marketplace that the seller had priced 2 months prior to the 360 price boom. Got culdcept saga for 39 and operation darkness for 75
Oh man, nice! I don’t have many pawn shops in my area so I wouldn’t know where to look and I doubt they have any games. Great job getting those two! Everyone wants them now. 😵💫
Man, Ninja Blade is SO good! I remember playing it when it came out. I had an absolute blast!
It really is so good! I gotta pick up the Otogi games now and see what they were like.
So glad I started buying my stuff in the last couple of years. Lol I just picked up Flatout for $2 at a yard sale this weekend!
That’s an amazing steal!
I feel like the naurato games will do good in the future
Absolutely they will! At least the Ubisoft ones, which reminds me I need to jump on that Broken Bond.
May I suggest hacking or buying a hacked S model? It is pretty easy.
Once the store closes I’ll most likely look into that.
The US is so different. All those games cost virtually nothing in the UK. Most valuable 360 games I have are Need for Speed Most Wanted, Fallout New Vegas Ultimate and Silent Hill HD collection which have been pricey for a while
I think collectors in the UK are certainly more relaxed than we are. Need for Speed Most Wanted is so good.
I've noticed that as well. Games are dirt cheap there compared to here. Good for people who just want to play their games. I've also noticed the few times I've imported PAL games (On PS3 since it's region free) they are almost always new and sealed.
Flat out Carnage is 10 bucks here in Europe. But then we have games that are rare that are cheap in the US. It’s crazy how some games shoot up in price. I remember Persona 3 on PS2 being available for 10 bucks for years new and not a single copy was sold. Now people are selling it for like 200 bucks. I’m not into buying games to sell them though. I don’t really care if a game is worth 1 dollar or 100 dollars. If I had a game worth 1000 then sure I’d probably sell it but the higher end you go the worse the selling experience is. When I sold a few rare PS1 games people wanted 100 photos of the discs and essays of descriptions over every microscopic imperfection even if the discs looked like new to me. Not worth the trouble.
The reselling business doesn’t seem like a fun one. I have a few friends who sell games on Instagram that are genuinely good people who do it for the love of the hobby. I’m generally not too picky with buying but water/humidity damaged cover arts and manuals are my biggest pet peeve.
Insane how you can see a game for like $5 one day and it’s $150 many years later, especially the crap games. 😵💫
I was a Wii guy and later got a PS3. I was gifted a 360 by a family friend a year ago. I guess I should pick up some games soon!
Oh I definitely recommend that you do! The 360 may seem like a crazy venture even now but I assure you a ton of games out there aren’t expensive at all.
Yeah it’s nuts how high the prices are getting I seen operation darkness for 360 shoot up to 200 and some people having them for 350 I’m like what luckily I traded a guy in my local area 2 Xbox one controllers that I found at the thrift for a CIB copy
That’s really lucky! Operation Darkness isn’t really my kind of game but it’s insane how much it rose!
Jet set radio future ....why isn't it on Xbox one
You would think that most of those Sega games on the Xbox would be BC. 😭
@@ScorpioCesarcade the port for jet grind radio is ASSSSSSD
El Chavo Kart is one you should get, it's actually good. Also ger the Xbox Live arcade games they are becoming uncommon
Probably a game that isn't talked about and is fairly uncommon is Quantum Theory. I just managed to snag a copy myself the other day. It's the only shooter I've seen Koei Tecmo make and it looks fun. I'm looking forward to playing it.
Duuuuude yes! Quantum Theory was another one that came and went and I still have to get although I may end up just getting it on PS3 at this point. Did you ever play Inversion?
@@ScorpioCesarcade I have it not played it yet. I did play Hunted: The Demons Forge recently. Lots of fun, it's literally Gears of War. Set in medieval times.
I think just like the 3DS store closing, this will be a buy the hype, sell the news event. Prices will come back down again. Some 3DS games are down 40-50% from the highs around the hype period. My advice is be patient and play what you have. Especially if you have been sitting in a large collection of 360 games already. Honestly most of the best games haven’t really gone up in price and are less than $10-20 still.
Oh no doubt in my mind games will stabilize at some point. None of these were ludicrously expensive anyways. The only one that I don’t see dropping anytime soon is Ninja Blade considering it’s a From Software game.
Well, I'm glad I bought everything I wanted for the Xbox 360 prior to all the price increases and really didn't spend that much on it all within the past few years. Only had about 10 games prior to that. I'd advise people to make up their own minds, make a list of what they want. That way they are not wasting money on useless games that they will never play. Most of these recommended games I've seen in a lot of these videos I wouldn't waste a dime on.
Yeah, I totally get you on that. Thankfully my 360 collection is already pretty solid but I still have so many loose ends I want to resolve. Making a list is the key you’re right, and I tend to agree that most games on these recommended lists don’t appeal to everyone.
First 3ds, then ps3, and now 360.... the store has zero effect on the prices. Fomo temporarily boosts prices and they all come right back down.
Yeah, we’ll definitely see this trend again once the PS3 store actually closes down.
Best time to get a cheap console and cheap games epic adventures to be had on the 360
I bought a copy of too human last week as well then realized afterwards it’s free 🤣
Haha! I’m glad I’m not alone on this one. 😂
Having a physical copy is always nice though :)
Perfect example: Crash Time autobahn: been looking for a copy at a reasonable price recently. it was about $30, which I think was a bit high for that game already. past 2 weeks it ballooned to $100+!!!! WTF?! not that important to me for that price. I have a couple others im looking for, mostly racing games, so hopefully the same doesnt happen to those others.
Legit never heard anyone talk about that game until those popular UA-camrs brought it up. I highly doubt it’s worth anywhere near that. Same with Fatal Inertia. You want great racers on 360, try Flatout, Full Auto, PGR4, Blur, Ridge Racer 6 to name a few.
I need to rebuy The Orange box, wet, brutal legend, and most importantly shadow of the Damned
All great titles! Did you know Shadows of the Damned is getting a remaster soon? No solid release date yet but it looks good! I’m wondering if I should wait for it or get it on 360.
Shadows of the Dammned might have its price reduced since it is getting a remaster.
@@Bird-Birdy-Love That’s what I’m thinking, I think it mainly depends if the remaster gets a physical release.
I've also heard that lollipop chainsaw is getting one too!
@@kcadventures1454 It is! They’re both being worked on at the same time. Hoping they get a physical release! 🙏🏼
Those are some great finds. It sucks about the Xbox 360 Marketplace and its just going to have games go to up in price. I still have to pick up some from the Marketplace before it disappears.
Don't forget the DLC as well!
@ScorpioCesarcade Thank you for that reminder as well!
I collected a couple years ago, in the UK games are much cheaper I got WET for £2 🤣 $3.29 I think? Also ninja blade £1.50!
That’s it man, I’m taking a trip to the UK! 🇬🇧
@@ScorpioCesarcade for game hunting it's amazing for everything else .... Not so much 🤣
I watch always my facebook marketplace, I bought flatout for 5$, I buy xbox 360 game at around 5 to 15$ each sometime lower
Every time I used Facebook marketplace I’ve never had a good experience. People are just unwilling to respond or ship anything. Seems like it works best for local pickups though.
@@ScorpioCesarcade Yeah, I go straight for the game first and only buy in the city where I live
This recent influx of "Xbox 360 game prices going up" fear-mongering uploads on UA-cam due to the upcoming Marketplace shut down is getting utterly pathetic and are a disgrace for the gaming community. It's mostly dishonest resellers who aren’t gamers trying to artificially inflate prices with obvious fomo tactics to get rid of a bunch of Xbox 360 games for a lot more than what they originally payed for.
Pretty much the same people who started buying up all the copies of games like Spec Ops The Line when that got delisted and were selling them for like $150. Not exactly the same situation but you get what I mean.
@@ScorpioCesarcade The one mistake I keep seeing made by some UA-camrs is base their high prices solely on eBay or Amazon asking prices, not what they're sold for. I like that you mentioned another source. For example, for years I kept hearing that Spider-Man: Edge of Time was ultra expensive, but I recently bought it CIB in great shape for $30 at my local game store, so the reality is that it's still possible to find good deals and these inflated X360 prices will eventually go down once this fomo/hype is gone after the store shuts down. We saw that happening before when Sony announced their shutdown for the PS3 store but backed out.
lol welp since I neglected to buy 360 games while they were cheap now I’ll have to shell out some money if I want to build up a decent collection again.
Lelelelel! What the hell bro, didn’t you have like a bunch of great games on 360 and PS3? Why did you sell all of it?
It is simple….I was broke and had a shitty job lol.
Don’t just buy random games. Collect what you’ll actually play. Don’t buy overpriced games that released on multiple consoles you’re just making your self look dumb.
Good advice, which is the point I was trying to make by the end of the video.
Years ago I would just buy random games. That's how I ended up with all of these games cheap. I'm quite happy with my collection. Now I just need time to play them all....that's a good point, lol.
Just sold a sealed copy of Ninja Blade for $100. It was on my backlog for 2 years. I dont like hard games anyway. Too old.
Oh man a sealed copy is going to be a collectors item for those From Software fanatics.
I wonder why 360 has had more Fomo than ps3 so far, altough i expect we will get a big fomo for it when the psn will finally shutdown for it.
The PS3 had its moment with the FOMO panic when Sony announced the store closure. It wasn’t long before Sony saw the backlash and changed their mind so that’s why things have calmed down on that front. Wait till they really mean it. 😨
@@ScorpioCesarcade Yeah i would think but even once that other fomo comes and goes chances are 99% of the games will still remain higher than they are now after that. so it is still good to buy what you like now vs later.
@@Bird-Birdy-Love Yeah some of the PS3 games that shot up haven't come down to earth. I only had one Armored Core game before it's FOMO and they haven't settled. Tornado Outbreak is another I was looking at that hasn't come down much. While some games have come down, like 3D dot heroes, they are still quite a bit more than they were before.
Onechanbara Bikini Samurai Squad
Why so expensive now? 😭
Thing is ...pretty much the ps3 and xbox 360 are the last consoles that are really collectable for... since they were the last gen to have the whole game on the disk... without internet all the consoles after (appart from switch and handhelds) will be useless.
Your buying a bit of paper encased in plastic for the new consoles these days.
Worthless.
Sorry and the Wii...
100% this and it hurts to see how pointless buying a physical copy of a game is these days. Look at Star Wars Outlaws, a game I was looking forward to and you apparently need an internet connection to even install it…like why?
I think that's why this gen really has the most long term potential for lasting value.
Avatar is the same way. I really miss the days you could just pop a game in and play, no internet or huge updates needed.
I collect exclusively PlayStation and Nintendo disc consoles like Wii and GameCube but I hope you Xbox fan boys can snag some games before they really shoot up in price. Try your local GameStop and thrift stores, I see 360 games all the time. Don’t buy them from eBay resellers
Whoa whoa, why mention the word fan boy at all? 😂 Nobody is fanboying over here.
@@ScorpioCesarcade poor choice of words I suppose lol but nothing wrong with being a fan boy of something. I am 100% a fan boy of PlayStation and proud of it 😂
@@jeremy9474 I put the fan boy stuff away a long time ago and grew to love and appreciate everything. Being loyal to a certain brand isn’t horrible though so I appreciate your honesty.
@@ScorpioCesarcade I get that. I just built my first PC and I’m absolutely loving it so I guess you could say I’ve broadened my spectrum
I beat too human….and it ends at a cliffhanger lol
What’s a pile of shit.
Did they honestly think they were going to make “Three Human”?
Subscribed for more content! 👍
Thank you! Got another part of this series coming next week.
Too human? I actually got that for free
Yeah, I think most people did considering that they're not allowed to sell it officially anymore. 😂
too human is free to download fyi.
Yes it is, I addressed that. :)
This popped up in my feed. High sub count don’t matter. if you’re a collector you’re a collector.
Keep up the videos
Those pesky resellers aren’t doing things the Wright way. Going to keep at it as long as I can!
PS3 was the same way now they are cheap again Xbox 360 will drop in a couple years don’t get sucked in
It’s most likely possible but things never drop down to what they originally were.
Some dropped a bit, but some are still quite expensive. If anyone thinks the 360 games will drop to what they were before, not likely. Will they drop? Of course, but not to the dirt cheap priices they were. I actually think this gen (Ps3/360) has to most long term potential as far as holding value.
DO NOT BUY 360 GAMES NOW. These games will all drop back down in 1-2 months same as the PS3 games when they shut down their digital store. 360 games were produced in an insane abundance the sheer amount of copies out there will not meet the demand and eventually they’ll all flood back into the market when this ridiculous hype dies down.
While that is a possibility, the difference here is that Microsoft isn’t coming out and saying they’re changing their mind like Sony did. Granted I have no doubt games prices will somewhat drop once all the FOMO buyers get what they want but it’ll never be as cheap as it was I think.
Again... you're an adult so NOBODY can make you buy anything. Stop using youtubers or " fomo " to justify your spending habits 🤡
Don’t sweat the small stuff bud. Just sit back and relax. Everything will be totally okay. 🥴🍿
