It’s weird the prices are going up now since the store doesn’t even close until the end of July and most of the games that are shooting up in price haven’t been available on the store for years anyways.
It's partly because people are confusing the 360 store closing with the removal of ALL 360 digital games sales everywhere; you'll still be able to buy 360 games on XO and Series X (though some will indeed be lost forever...), and partly because the digital gaming scene now has descended into actual farce where big companies can, seemingly with little to no warning, delist games and even potentially (Ubisoft: The Crew) outright take them away... You don't own your games on Steam or (with the exception of GOG) anywhere digitally. Other than GOG physical console media is the way to go. Even PS4 and PS5 are still mostly on the actual disc. It doesn't hurt that the 7th gen games rock too... Nice collection.
I noticed you dropped about going to The Exchange, are you also in the Pittsburgh area? I’ve been on the hunt as well in North Pitt and have been finding some gems
I’m just south of Pittsburgh. Other than Exchange there is Iron Blast Game Zone in my hometown of Washington, PA. Very large selection of physical at Iron Blast. There’s GameStops too but hit or miss.
Nice stuff, really enjoyed the video. I started digging into the library and tracking down some 360 stuff last year and have amassed quite a lot of cool games. Spent a lot of time researching and maybe you'd find some of this info useful lol. Hope this doesn't just increase your FOMO, but maybe it will be helpful. There are a lot of weird exclusives, those are what I always aim for first because I love weird janky oddities. You picked up a lot here, but some others include Infernal Hell's Vengeance, Ninja Blade, Onechanbara, Velvet Assassin. Many more I could list if interested. There's the "next-gen exclusives", games released before PS3 even launched so they are only on 360, PS2, and possibly Wii, making the 360 version typically the best by a mile. Like Most Wanted 2005, King Kong, Tony Hawk's American Wasteland, Spiderman Friend or Foe, Gun, Bully Scholarship Edition, etc. A lot of these sold well but highly sought after cause that launch era was a magical time. Then of course getting the "complete" editions with DLC on disc is pretty important. Fallout 3 GotY and New Vegas GotY in particular because they are substantially better on 360 than PS3, but also Oblivion GotY, Fable 2 Platinum hits, and Left 4 Dead GotY, etc. Which leads into another category... mult-plat games that are substantially better on 360 than PS3. I grew up with a PS3 mainly so hard for me to admit, but the 360 almost always had superior versions of multi-plat games and some are very significant. Assassin's Creed 1 (note this is the only one not remastered for later gens), Bayonetta, The Darkness 1, the Fallout games, Fear 1, Jericho, Lost Planet, etc. All compromised performance-wise on PS3. It's mainly early in the PS3's lifetime that this was significant, before devs adapted to the PS3's hardware. Taking a look at the old Digital Foundry "face-off" articles for 360 vs PS3 comparisons is a good way to research in this area. Also some multi-plat games just have content differences between the versions: Armored Core 4 is apparently much better on 360 because you can update it to a later version than on PS3. Enchanted Arms has a lot of gameplay changes between versions but notably the 360 version has summonable golems from other FromSoft games like Otogi and Metal Wolf Chaos (PS3 got its own exclusive golems). Eternal Sonata was also changed considerably including giving it a different ending on PS3 which some people like less than the original. Then there are variants, some of which I think will be highly collectible. Like Gamestop had exclusive versions of Fallout 3 and New Vegas GotY editions that included a map and poster (not in regular edition). Spiderman Web of Shadows variant with an included art book (notably don't think the PS3 version had such a variant, or at least I've never seen one). Simpson's Game with included poster. Velvet Assassin with bonus disc. Timeshift with bonus DVD (also another example where apparently the PS3 port is way worse performance-wise). Etc. Since not much attention has been given to 360 collecting before now a lot of people don't distinguish between these variants so you can usually grab a cool variant for the same price as the regular edition. That was long 😅
Idk about yall but I've been hitting value village alot for 360 games. I found original nfs most wanted for 4 bucks. Along with others. I ended up spending like 20 bucks for over 100 bucks worth of games.
Picked up my MW2005 for 30 bucks for 360 a couple years ago thought it was a rip off then. I followed it up a year or two later picking up black edition with the sleeve and bonus DVD for like 15 bucks couldn’t believe it. For OG Xbox btw. Nice finds tho I can’t believe Saw is that expensive now!!! Man I need to get back out there and fast!!!
K lil rant here and background. I have 300 plus titles across 4 consoles. N64. Og Xbox. 360. And Xbox One. N64 is probably the coolest. Og Xbox I have the most “sleepers/hidden gems” and is the second biggest. 360 is the most amount of titles with a couple of obscure impressive copies maybe and Xbox one is all the newish stuff sooooo mehhh. Wish list is definitely GameCube kicking myself for not buying in wayyy wayyy earlier like I did back in 2011 with N64. More wishlist A fat PS3 would be amazing still haven’t played any uncharteds or last of us that’d be amazing. Really wanna play God of war and Heavenly Sword. Mkay end of my Ted talk. Donations accepted lol
Great haul! This is the first I'm hearing about 360 games going up in price and being harder to find, especially some of these random ones in your video. A lot of them were completely forgettable during the 360 era and now they're becoming valuable. Go figure.
Games are not increasing in price because the store is closing, but because UA-camrs are talking about the games all the time, thus increasing interest and prices. Anyways, I'm glad I'm in Europe where prices are still low.
Yeah i found a complete copy of Spiderman Shattered dimensions for Ps3 at a Gamestop for $55. Why they had it priced that low I do not know, but I snatched it up!
These guys basically feeding the increase of prices and basically say hay i already got the games so fk you guys out there we will feed this subject helping prices go even higher
Now 360 games are gaining price? Thats the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. My guy probably read an article on Bing. But Silent hill homecoming for 10$ is a great deal. It’s an amazing game. I got all the achievements. Way better than downpour. Also Naughty Bear I always wanted to play just never picked it up. Let me know how it was
I'm so glad I started re-collecting for this system back in 2021 as its still my favorite gen and so many great games are getting crazy pricey.
It’s weird the prices are going up now since the store doesn’t even close until the end of July and most of the games that are shooting up in price haven’t been available on the store for years anyways.
I think a lot of it has to do with PeteDorr and MrWrightWay making videos about the 360 that brought it to everyones attention.
People had hope I guess 😂
Well thanks to such videos it will even go higher
Soon as the swirch games cheap... im buying the lot 😂

I just been looking to get the dlc for the games I own before it's too late.
What a haul, I wanna live where you do lol. I've probably seen 3 of these out in the wild in the past 3 months
I just stumbled on your channel! I already subbed and would love to see a GameCube collection video at some point. It looks pretty juicy back there!
I think I can make that happen 👀
Nice simpsons. Shirt
Great pick ups, The Simpsons Game is my favorite Simpsons game
I noticed you dropped about going to The Exchange, are you also in the Pittsburgh area? I’ve been on the hunt as well in North Pitt and have been finding some gems
I'm in Ohio! But I've been to some Exchanges in PA before!
I’m just south of Pittsburgh. Other than Exchange there is Iron Blast Game Zone in my hometown of Washington, PA. Very large selection of physical at Iron Blast. There’s GameStops too but hit or miss.
Ebay is filled with shilling bidding, snipe bids and market manipulation.

fomo is crazy rn, i got into 360 about a year ago because games were crazy cheap but now its hard to get good deals on some games
Fomo got me to pay 62 dollars for blue dragon so i get it lol

55 bucks low price? Is just speculation ebay prices
Great pick ups!
Xbox 360 rare game marketplace is booming right now & a lot of people are hopping on the collecting and reselling wave
These guys basically feeding the increase of prices and basically say hay i already got the games so fk you guys out there we will feed this subject helping prices go even higher
Exactly. Prices go up do to UA-camrs keep talking about hidden gems and great games and all, which increases interest, and thus prices.
cuz games are shitty now compared to before
They need to reboot The Simpsons for next gen in 4k
Now 360 games are gaining price? Thats the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. My guy probably read an article on Bing. But Silent hill homecoming for 10$ is a great deal. It’s an amazing game. I got all the achievements. Way better than downpour. Also Naughty Bear I always wanted to play just never picked it up. Let me know how it was
Prices are sky rocketing what is this guy talking about 💀💀🤦♂️
