Buy These Digital Only Xbox 360 Games Before The Marketplace Closes Forever!

[@thegamethrifter]

Did a bit of research, and these games are all digital only that will be gone forever at the end of July. If you enjoy my video, please LIKE and consider subscribing!

You don't own those games you are using them.Microsoft can take them away anytime Emulators and roms is the BEST WAY TO GET THEM

[@brianwalker7771]

Sadly straight up piracy is going to end up being the only way to preserve these games. Some one will buy EVERYTHING from the store put it online. I do NOT encourage such behavior at all but it is almost certainly the only way these will be perserved.

[@thegamethrifter]

You're probably right, but I figured I'd do a video to cover what will be lost. A lot of people were asking me to do this one, so hopefully it's helpful at least.

[@brianwalker7771]

@@thegamethrifter ABSOLUTELY HELPFUL! You did a great job on the video. I just wish we had more security than we do when it comes to preserving games.

[@thegamethrifter]

@@brianwalker7771 Me too! I've been trying to get as many as I can from the list, but the store has been really broken for me.

[@HollowedCrow]

I would like to have the peace of mind of actually owning most of the games i would play but yes, when the shutdown actually does happen. It's RGH time.

[@creatorsfreedom6734]

Or you could just buy the Physical game's from Papa Shop's or vintage store's

[@MutchGames]

I tried so many times to buy kinect sparkler over the year but it was broken. I really wish I knew they added games like after burner climax during my high school years. I would've bought that

[@thegamethrifter]

I had a lot of problems buying and downloading games off the 360 store as well. Some just won't download at all....

What happened to NFL Blitz? I can't buy any of them digitally.

[@thegamethrifter]

You should be able to buy this one on the store still!

[@CLEEN50]

I’ve searched both under N & B and the only Blitz i found was Blitz 1 & 2, both with Lawrence Taylor on the cover but these aren’t it. I also searched ‘NFL Blitz’ and the only result was ‘N F L Blitz’ and there was no option to buy it, only gave an option to rate it. Are you sure you saw this for sale?

Which ones from your list are digital only? I saw Mighty no 9 on there, but know it has a physical. Thank you

[@thegamethrifter]

Does it have a physical Xbox 360 version?

[@Adam1Gee]

A nice video, wish I saw this five months ago! Once it was all said and done what games did you end up buying? Did you buy Blazing Birds, Dishwasher: Dead Samurai or Full House Poker?

[@thegamethrifter]

Ended up with them all!

[@Adam1Gee]

@ Nice pick up. I was wondering if I may make you an offer please for a copy of those three games in particular. I really would love to play them on my retail console.

[@supergravy6104]

I hope to buy a bunch of these but there's this weird glitch where my debit card won't work for some reason and I keep trying and it won't take it. Hopefully that'll get cleared up because I want to get several of these games including toy box turbos.

[@thegamethrifter]

Same thing happened to me, I even added credit to my account and I get errors all the time.

[@CrankyMoogle]

Toybox Turbos was delisted two years ago.

Great video! So many great games that will be lost forever. I'm glad that I started to get a few here and there. I'm glad they are doing sales. Sometimes I tend to get a few annoying errors on the marketplace.

[@thegamethrifter]

Couldn't agree more!

[@Toasted_2-9]

This is so sad to me as a person who owned the xbox 360 but never played any games other than minecraft and left 4 dead and cobalt on it and only had the full game of minecraft and didn't have any online friends at the time. Maybe its because i was too young and already the time i was playing these games new things and consoles were already being made and put out but i just wished i experienced more of the time i grew up it

[@thegamethrifter]

Honestly, it was probably the best time for gaming! I remember midnight launches for games, no huge game installs or giant updates. Put in the disc and it worked!

[@Toasted_2-9]

@thegamethrifter I might have been really young, but I had the best time to With the games I did have, plus I also had the ps3 with little big planet and my uncle had other games one was resident evil 5 which was the first one I played and other cool games but I forgot the name, but i was too scared to play it so I watched my dad and uncle play it till I got a little older. Then, a friend of my family member gave me the fallout 3 disk, but I still think I was too young to play it, but I became one of my favorite games. But minecraft was the one game that I played on both the ps3 and Xbox 360, and it was fun

[@thegamethrifter]

@@Toasted_2-9 Both were awesome! Glad to hear you enjoyed some classics!

Question to Starr is any of the OG Xbox games going on sale

[@thegamethrifter]

On the 360 store? I don't think so. But they sometimes have some of the OG Xbox games on sale on Xbox Series X/S

[@Lauterec]

Absolutely loved State of Decay back in the day.

[@thegamethrifter]

Such an awesome game! Have high hopes for the 3rd one!

[@obliviousmode575]

One thing they forgot to put the DLC on sale as well for games that have DLC.

[@thegamethrifter]

Yeah, it would have been nice if they had put that on sale as well.

[@sevenheavenhavengaming]

Can these digital only games still be accessed on the XBox Series X, Series S and XBox One once the XBox 360 Marketplace closes or will they be gone forever once they shutdown?

[@thegamethrifter]

No, these can only be accessed through the Xbox 360. They will literally be gone forever once the store closes at the end of the month.

[@sevenheavenhavengaming]

ABSOLUTELY!

[@ViciousFirearms]

4:40 people aren’t freaking out more about it because they’re too busy buying shovelware garbage, most of which is multiplat anyway mind you, that’s getting price gouged out the butt because they’re only thinking about “future investments”. Sadly that’s what game collecting has become these days, it’s no longer about the gaming aspect with some of these “collectors”. That’s why they don’t care about these games that are actually gonna disappear forever, no chance to make money off of it.

[@thegamethrifter]

Yea, sadly you can't buy these games physically so they'll be lost....

[@timothybrandriff6499]

A lot of these games are on sale now too. Some for as little as $0.49!

Microsoft is forcing everyone to use either an RGH or JTAG 360, piracy is the only option to play hundreds of digital only games, I wouldn’t bother giving Microsoft money for the remaining games, they are after all the ones removing the 360 store! 😞

[@thegamethrifter]

Well I play online still, and they can detect those things and ban your account, and since I own over 1500 digital games across Xbox 360, Xbox Series X and Xbox One, I'd rather keep access to them all...lol

[@Dano_116]

@@thegamethrifter Fair enough but after the shutdown a modded console is the only way to access those games if you haven’t purchased them + the ones that have already been removed. It’s also only a matter of time before they remove online from the 360, so they’re forcing our hands here (even I am going to have to buy a modded 360 in the future because of them not preserving the games). Keep up the videos 👍.

It sucks that Nintendo makes people buy everything again and again. I was hoping Microsoft might put off closing the 360 store but I guess not :(

[@relicgamer2137]

Is it strange phenomenon people putting videos up of all these games for the 360 yet are not researching to find out whether or not the games are even still available in the store the TMNT game you are actually listing on here and showing gameplay of is not even on the list you show. Because it's been delisted. Metal Jesus did the same thing he posted mad writers which has been removed back in 2017 on Steam and possibly on all the consoles yet he's showing it on more recent video please people just do a little research find out if the games are showing or even available

[@thegamethrifter]

This is a video showing which digital games will be gone forever. I did lists and obviously not gameplay because showing 200+ games isn't feasible.

There's not much you can do, unless you try to use a wired connection? Xbox 360 WiFi is pretty slow by today's standards, and it has the ability to only download (I believe) at 15mbps.
