My son gave me a 360 last year. To me, this is modern gaming. I picked up an Xbox one a month ago, I still lay the 360 more. What they did with the old hardware was amazing.
I don’t really know what’s going on, with the 360 prices. Because it’s only certain games I don’t believe people are looking fondly back at their time playing darkest of days and suddenly want to pay $90 for it. Also, Fatal Inertia is still available on the store and yet people will pay $150 for a completely lackluster game? SOMETHING IS GOING ON.
I think it’s a byproduct of people going back to it. But those games are definitely spiking due to collectors trying to find those uncommon and “rare” games. Also low print run games.
Nah, I believe its hardcore collectors and store owners colluding together to rake up prices of games through various tactics like posting eBay auctions or "Buy now" listings of games generally cheap but now with high asking prices and then the market reacts, forcing the average Joe or Jane to sell their games locally at higher prices too, etc
It's crazy because I picked up replaying Gears of War recently on 360, and now I see that it's been making a comeback! That's cool. Thanks for the vids, bro.
I just refurbished my old Halo 3 360 and swapped the motherboard for the Jasper model and added some other cool mods. Went on the store and downloaded almost everything Bungie Halo and Gears of War related content lol. Been having a blast reliving all those great games and content.
I always played Halo/Cod on my friends 360. I missed out on some cool exclusives though. I’ve collected about 50 games for it, enough to keep me content. A few bangers in there that I had a feeling would go crazy. I grew up with a PS3 so naturally I love collecting games for it, if they aren’t on newer systems.
I’ve been saying this for years as well. The same thing happens with every single console generation. As soon as those kids grow up and get jobs, they start buying games from their childhood and collecting for whatever console it may be. What people should be doing is concentrating their funds on digital only games and dlc exclusive to the 360 as that’s stuff they won’t be able to buy after the 29/07/24.
Some games that are expensive on 360 are cheap on steam. I was so cheap I got dark Messiah for 2.79 on steam instead of paying $10 for a 360 eBay copy last year. But for real I started collecting 360 early last year and the prices were good for almost everything until early December and then things started randomly shooting up.
I agree dude. I still have my 360 and kept a bunch of games as I loved it so much and still think it’s some of the best gaming I’ve ever experienced… and I switched to ps4 the next gen and been on Sony’s consoles since… for online gaming, it was the most fun I ever had! And the best era for CoD.
I recently got in to playing an d collecting 360 games because when I originally got my 360 I was working two jobs and didn’t have a lot of time to play games so I missed out on a lot of great games so now that I have more free time I’m going back and having a blast playing some of my old favorite and discovering ones I’ve never played or even heard of but I’ve been sticking with the lower end price though games that are 5 to 30 bucks I’m not really going over that at the moment
I'm on the opposite side and I collect PS3 and I agree. I started collecting for PS3 years ago and I am glad that I started so long ago. I do have some 360 games but I just bought exclusives and I knew I liked. I also know that PSN for PS3 will close eventually and I bet that will make the games jump up too. It's only a matter of time that Sony will not see the point of keeping PS3 PSN open, when Microsoft is going close the 360 store.
The best thing to do is pick up all the games you want while the system is current or one generation old, that way when the stores go down and the games go up in price you already have all the games, that’s why I’m picking up ps4/5 and Xbox one/series x games now. 7th generation will always be the best in my opinion.
I think a lot of people have been sleeping on the 360. I think people assume there are tons of available copies of most games and they will always be cheap, but that isn't the case. Think about this.. only twice as many 360s were sold in the US compared to the Nintendo 64. N64 has 388 games and the 360 has just over a thousand physical games. There are probably way more N64 games out there given the smaller selection of games. The common games (loose, good condition) are around $50. With a huge library of games on the 360, people bought less games and less copies of unique (bad?) games were sold. So it's no surprise there are a ton of 360 games that are $50+ now that the "collectors" are buying.
That’s a good point. Finding 360 copies that are in great condition is not as easy as some may think. A lot are missing manuals or water damage or something.
yeah i got the "red eye of death" I was so bummed.. didnt buy an xbox until the series s{bcuz the price and availability was great}. Perfect 4 me. Got xtra memory and i'm good.😁
@@Couchbitato I bought Medal of Honor and had a lot of fun. My first multiplayer experience. Then most of my friends were on COD so I switched. Kinda wish Medal of Honor would come back now. You speak well, with almost no editing? I am MScannagrow on youtube. I used Animotica on pc and Kinemaster on my phone. It was all free and fun to play with. Good luck with the channel! I'm putting notifications on😁👍
@@Couchbitato U rock dude.. I hit.1,000 subs. Not sure what i'm supposed to do now. I had relapse when my wife and dogs passed away. I know it's sad... but it's way worse than just that. Sometimes when people pass... the truth finally is revealed. Sorry dude.. just struggling right now. But i can still watch the youtube. Sorry 4 spewing...
@@SaltyLegion all good! I started playing survival horror and adventure games on twitch. Couchbitato is the name also. You can check it out to kill some time if you want. Stay strong 💪🏻
I found a couple PS3s in my basement in December and one had a broken disc drive, so I jailbroke it to get games on it...forgot how many amazing games were on PS3 (even though my family's been an Xbox family since day one) 😅
Well the pandemic was happening too. And people were getting free money. So there’s that. The whole collecting market was bonkers then too. But yea, after the store closing hype dies down, a lot of these will fall in price. Maybe not where they were, but not so high.

It could depend on how “complete” the disc version is and if it requires online for a patch or not?

Thanks! Yea, I love seeing older games get some love again. I wish it could happen to Call of Duty 4 🤣

I was recently playing Space Marine on a halo 3 console. Lol. That’s really cool modding it. I’m not good at that haha

I’ve been meaning to try that one

A lot of good games are still on the cheaper side thankfully. I love throwing a game in and not having to download for an hour lol.

Yep, that seems like the tried and true way to do it. End of console life cycle or shortly after new console releases.

If it wasn't for the 360 E, I wouldn't bother with the 360. The red ring consoles are not worth having at all.
Xbox 360 is my favorite console after the ps2! The nostalgia is real and well deserving of the hype for sure. PS3 was trash and so was Xbox 1.
I just remembered PS3 having a lot of online issues with servers down and hacked cards. Was turned off by it personally.
I found a couple PS3s in my basement in December and one had a broken disc drive, so I jailbroke it to get games on it...forgot how many amazing games were on PS3 (even though my family's been an Xbox family since day one) 😅
@@aldo1814 ps3 definitely had good games too!
Look at PS3 hype back in 2021… all those inflated prices have fallen 😮just wait if you didn’t already get
