It Begins... Xbox 360 Prices Are Skyrocketing

Like I warned in my previous video, Xbox 360 prices are starting to shoot up in price as people brace for the Xbox 360 Marketplace closure. I go over some extreme examples as well as more grounded examples to show how these price trends are effecting even the cheapest of games. #xbox360 #gamecollecting #retrogames

Seems like about 20-25 years after a systems peak is when resale prices peak. The kids that grew up with the systems have disposable income.

[@TheKayliedGamerChannel-YouTube]

The relative scarcity of some key titles readily available in excellent condition may also factor?

[@Hughesburner]

exactly it. I have been reselling in general, not just video games for 20yrs. I have so many systems go from practically being given or thrown away to being worth so much money once they hit a certain point.

​@Executi0ner246 yea some. Unless xbox puts out a separate device deviates to backwards compatible this means the games are really only limited to playing on the lasting consoles left. Sures there's emulations but it's not the same, not how the games were meant to be and be illegal and takes some extra steps 9/10 rather than plug and play.

I remember buying stacks of 360 games (along with PS3 and Wii) at GameStops for years that nobody wanted. A lot of the games you mentioned in this video. The people working there were always like "Finally glad someone is taking these off our hands" and I'd always take advantage of those 4 for $10/20 deals. At the time I saw what was happening to SNES/N64/PS1 games and I knew this would happen in time. I always thought one of the golden gooses for the 360 would be Operation Darkness. I've seen a lot of these games multiple times (some not so much, Zoids Assault was one I never saw weirdly) in multiple locations all around the country. I've literally only seen Operation Darkness once and its the copy I bought when I saw it.

[@tampabaytradeday786]

I used to check Operation Darkness availability from GameStop's website and for 5 straight years there was always NONE AVAILABLE in a 100 mile radius. Saw Culdcept a half dozen times. I think Zoids I remember seeing for awhile in the New section because nobody bought it for like 2 years 😆 but yeah since then it's one you rarely come across.

[@MilkWasABadChoice17]

@@tampabaytradeday786 Culdcept was another one I knew would shoot up. I at least saw that a handful of times too. I remember buying this one on eBay specifically, and I actually got it in 2018 for less than $20 lol. This probably won't ever get remade/ported either, Omiyasoft seems to be dead and haven't really done anything in a while. Still a firm believer that Operation Darkness is going to be a $200 game, it's just one of those games that whoever bought it way back just isn't going to give it up. It looks like 70k copies were sold total (take that with a grain of salt from VGChartz) and for 360 that's pretty low.

[@warehousedave7937]

​@@MilkWasABadChoice17 it's a sick game! The blend of real world history with fantasy that plays like a fire emblem and it's very uncommon and only released in North America for English translation. That's as top-tier as a game can be. I think right now there's a big shake up with 360 game prices from people being informed about hidden gems and running to buy a Wartech or a Culdcept or Darkest of Days and over time we'll see that those games settle down in price. There will be more people trying to sell a copy than there will be demand to pay these new prices for a lot of the games that have exploded. But Operation Darkness is just a little more rare and a lot more interesting. I'm keeping an eye on it and it keeps climbing in price and there's always few copies available.

The funny thing is if you have a Modded Xbox 360 you basically have every single Xbox 360 game that has ever released it'd be cheaper just to spend a one-time fee on a modded 360

[@Rocky13Ray]

Yes however then the limitation is held by the machine.if the machine breaks down then you have to re-buy a modded xbox and then you can't bring the games to a friend or family member or let them borrow it. You'd have to lend your entire 360. Also it's illegal and not official and sure you got the game great however you don't have the physical copy and don't truely own it. There's something about that which a modded device can't manage. And I'm not hating, I'm have pirated stuff before HOWEVER when a game or a piece of content is just above and beyond? It's best to have a physical copy. I'd pirate Southpark and family guy and thats cheap however I'd still condone and encourage buying the physical DVDs too. It's content worth having and preserving.

But Xbox 360 is literally the best version, it’s even better than the PC version. It has better textures, is HD in 16:9 which not even PC without mods is and has better graphical effects. I think the 360 version might even be running on a newer version of DirectX which also made modding in the 360 graphics on PC more complex and at least on my AMD GPU, really makes the game a lot more demanding. Then add in NFS fans still call it the best one and anyone with a 360 is going to want the 360 version.

Thanks for the update, I would have been caught off guard if not for your help

[@majorgear1021]

it’s standard that delisting and shutdowns only stop new purchases. previous purchases are not affected.

[@100benny]

Prices of 360 games go crazy, in the US. Over here in PAL regions, those games go for a fraction of those prices. Most wanted is less then 20€ for instance.

[@ShonenJump121]

Bruh, I remember them. Those people that were out there buying Culdcept Saga for $200-170. You are the reason this game is like this, it was an under $50 game for the longest time. Why would you spend that much? 😭

[@hurricane7727]

It's Not even a New Game so that's Weird for it to cost that Much.

[@scotthallgv]

Need For Speed has been super weird with its pricing for a long long time now. Ive never understood why its happening but its always been pricey.

@Manic_Panic A very good move, congrats on taking a big step in preserving what is yours my friend.

Thanks for the heads up. Great topic and coverage! I was able to snag Culdcept Saga for 29.99 before the storm. Luckily i had the other titles i wanted. Cheers

It’s so different from country to country. That F1 2013 game can be found new for 40 bucks here. Maybe they made more copies here as F1 is more popular in Europe. But if it’s a general price climb it will eventually affect us too even if it may be different games that become very expensive.

[@seanriordan6726]

Videos like this is causing this. Resellers scoop up copies cheap then people panic buy cause of videos like this. NFS Most Wanted is £60 in the UK which is ridiculous.

[@PicksterTG]

F1 2013. One of the things that makes it desirable. Its the first (and one of the few) to have a range of Historic F1 cars avaliable. 2013 was also the last year the F1 cars used naturally aspirated V8 engines. Not sure if that has any effect on the desirability.

[@Jliving8008]

I have been bulking up the last 3 years. I have three copies of all the RPGs exclusive to 360. I have waiting for this video. Thanks Pete!

[@spursdynasty7378]

I’ve been loading up on PS2 , Vita and PSP games for several years now. I remember the panic when the PS3 and Vita store was closing a few years ago made me purchase a few hundred dollars of digital games….The fear of missing out is getting ridiculous 😂

[@SteveBrandon]

I'm surprised that Driver: San Francisco is still under the $50 U.S. CIB mark on Pricecharting considering it's a legendary game that Ubisoft won't re-issue for automobile licensing reasons and, unlike most other XBox 360 driving games with licensed cars, Driver: San Francisco is backwards-compatible on XBox Series X.

[@TheSuperthunderblade]

The rise in price of the F1 games is probably since the F1 2012-2019 got delisted from digital storefronts during 2023, but it's still kind of weird to see Formula games going up in price so much since it's hard to imagine a lot of interest being in them.

[@cmartin240]

They’re getting expensive because there’s people with little brain cells and too much money. STOP PAYING THE PRICES and the market will fall. RGH3 the console and dont even bother with the resellers inflated pricing. NFSMW went Platinum. Absolutely no reason for it to be scraping $100.

[@audiohazard1203nut]

NFL Blitz The League II (CIB) is $80-$120 on eBay right now. That's a lot for a sports game.

[@lovedbygod.]

I have 4 Xbox 360s and a first generation Xbox. Yes the OG the very first system and I will never part with that one. I am a huge retro video game collector. There’s nothing like sitting back and playing the games that you used to play with your old buddies and reminiscing about the good times.

[@kingkev6338]

I will say I just got most wanted on 360 on eBay for 65

Price swings are big on that one. Prices however have consistently been rising for it over the last few years. I used to think $40 was expensive for it. Great game though!

I don't really agree. 360 has very few console exclusives. You can find all the best 360 games on other consoles.

Culdcept saga is a massive surprise for me. I bought it for $30 on Amazon 4 years ago. No way is it at the $200.

[@jiryutique12323]

I'm curious to see if the prices of these games will stay up after the closure of the xbox 360 marketplace. The PS3 shot up in price a couple of years ago I believe and the prices have been going down for a bit. For instance the average loose price for the ps3 games have pretty much plateau at 15$ for what we can see on Price Charting. The Nintendo 3DS average loose prices when as far as around 27 $ in 2023 and it's been going down since (it's at 24 $ right now). I do remember that both surge in prices we're caused by the closure of their respective live market place (Sony backdown from their decision to cut the PS3 online market place I know, but PS3 games when up in price anyway). Which brings me to my point: the 3DS and the PS3 are a jokes to softmod. It's incredibly easy to play anything you want on them without soldering anything. I think that for a lot of people (including me) it play's an important role on wether I should collect or not from a console. If I need to have a physical copy to play a specific games, I might be more willing to spend the extra money for it out of desperation. Modding a Xbox 360 is a hasle for me: I do not have the place nor the knowledge to do it. Nobody in my groups of friends knows either and most shop that used to do it back in 2000s aren't doing it anymore. I don't even know a retro games store who let alone buy and sell Xbox 360 consoles. So yeah, i'm curious to see if it's going to be a factor for the prices of Xbox 360 games going fowards. Especially those obscure games that we're made in small quantity and that they are not supported by the xbox one.

[@Pinsonneaultmotorsports]

Don’t get me started on import tuner challenge

[@IHazPeppers]

I mean, to be fair a lot of the expensive games that you've mentioned were already pretty much that expensive. But yes, as physical media becomes more niece and a collective thing, of course those items will rise. After all, they are getting rarer every day.
