The One Xbox 360 Game You Need Before Prices Go Up - Luke's Game Room

let's take a game room tour on Xbox 360 games you need to pick up before prices get even worse than they are now. Prices are doubling, tripling or worse for several of the 7th generations more obscure and hidden gem games. These games need to be on your backlog, and need to be in your collection before they get too pricey.

[@BasicSneedEducation]

Retro games > modern games made by people who hate you

[@duff0120]

been 17 years since the last good need for speed game, NFS Carbon

[@warmsignal]

​@@duff0120 Wrong. NFS is solid series, always has been and still is. There's been like 10 games since Carbon. At this point, you need to realize it's you, not the games. Unbound is majorly slept on because people just don't play single player arcade racing games much anymore, but it's a great game.

[@thatdutchguy89]

I'm sitting on a goldmine of 360 games

[@SEGANERD85]

I have also noticed a spike in Xbox 360 game prices. I had a feeling this would happen so I made sure to get all the 360 games that I wanted before the prices went through the roof. For example I got Ghostbusters remastered for $8 I was able to get splatterhouse complete for $5 Pretty much every 360 game I have acquired I paid no more than $10 for. My advice would be do not go to eBay for these games go to your local thrift stores, pawn shops, yard sales, flea markets. There is still time.

[@TheWayoftheSith]

I recommend Binary Domain, Azuras Wrath, Spec Ops the Line, Timeshift, Wolfenstein, Ace Combat Assault Horizon, Remember Me, Dark Messiah, Inversion and Fuse. All good games, most of these are great actually. Really defined me xbox experience.

[@iBNKSY]

I got Need For Speed Most Wanted 2005 on the 360 about 4-5 years ago for £18, now it's ~£45 these days

[@MrAlexito305]

Never Dead is another obscure game that was pretty good and was on the 360/ps3 by Konami. Plays like Darksiders but your limbs come apart and your constantly putting yourself back together lol game is wild

[@magustrigger9195]

Katamari on 360 is super fun.

[@sirblew]

Great video. It's amazing that Splatterhouse has gone up so much! A few years back I bought Splatterhouse as I was getting into older retro gaming and was playing the originals. My wife accidentally bought another copy for me as she didn't realise I'd already bought it. It was only like $6 so no big issue, and I never bothered to return it for a refund!

[@Dongled]

Good list. I grabbed Alice when it came out and it came with a download code for the first Alice game, which I still have...but I got stuck pretty early on and never ended up starting up Alice 2 because I wanted to beat the first one. That's actually a recurring problem for me...I'll buy a sequel and then be like...well, crap, I gotta beat the first one first...and then I never finish it lol One of the reasons why 360 is going up recently is because the online store is shutting down in July so people are trying to get all their updates and DLCs before the store disappears for good. Also, grab Binary Domain if you don't already have it. Game is so good!

[@brianwalker7771]

Games that have already been pulled like Deadpool a re a good choice IF you can get passed scalpers.

[@BourbonBaconBrisket]

The thing with playing left for dead one on left for dead 2 is that there is a fire rate cap on the dualies. This is a deal breaker for me.

[@malecus7664]

Glad I was ahead of the power curve on 360 because they're getting crazy expensive too damn fast.

[@danderson6290]

I'm think by this time next year the prices will be back to what they were. I'm personally waiting until holiday season. It's fomo and people jacking up the prices.

[@haactgaming9687]

When these games were being traded in for Xbox One’s I was getting them $1-2 each! PS3/WiiU/xbox 360 last discs to collect…Anyone who says you can’t get games for a buck or two back then A: is wrong and not worth listening too. B Too “busy” to make a deal, ask friends or family, go to some yard sales etc. Now all discs are just keys and don’t have the game on them or digital and aren’t worth collecting!

[@retropatronum]

I don't have a ton of 360 games, but the Adventure Time games on it are pretty fun. One is a mystery/investigation game and another is a top down Zelda-like. Also Ducktales Remastered is one of can see going insanely expensive.

[@DoubleTGameHustle]

Been picking up 360 games as well! A great console to collect for 🔥

[@ModelJames13]

Xbox 360 games getting expensive out of nowhere? What a strange world we live in. Well, I'm glad I picked up the last games I wanted for that system back in 2015.

[@ockertoustesizem1234]

bruh the xbox 360 digital store is shutting down in july so people are trying to buy a lot of 360 games

[@The80Kat]

Also wanted a physical asuras wrath it’s about 95 dollars now.

[@mattneal4309]

Zoids is a model kit line from japan, which became an anime which is really good btw and then spawned games. Zoids still has kits to this day

[@sleepytwiggaming]

I actually QA tested Shadows of the Damned also haha

[@JohnnyCProduction]

Remaster of Shadows of the Damned is coming out this year so I don’t doubt the price of the 360 version will go up. It’s also on ps3.

[@Executi0ner246]

The mgs collection seems to stay the same price since the remaster came out, so you're probably right

[@JohnnyCProduction]

@@Executi0ner246 for me personally the MGS hd collection is the best way to play Peace Walker too. Plus both MGS Hd and Shadows of the damned are back compat for x1 and series

[@dankhill6851]

How do you kill that which has no life? - South Park

[@JoeBudden-gh8fi]

Ninja blade is like 150 now wtf

[@miamidolphins1986]

Good list man.

[@jonathanlisowski5618]

The loading times for Splatterhouse are horrendous & considering how often you're going to die & continue, seeing those monsters roaring & biting at you for minutes does get really annoying. Otherwise, great game.

[@chris12345h]

great video and games but what does the store going down have to do with physical media? ive seen several videos like this and they are fun but 1 has nothing to do with the other the store is going down not the systems. there are many games that we have lost and more we will lose in july but buy them from the store and save some money. alice the madness returns, killer is dead and both left 4 dead games are on the series s/x.

[@LukesGamerRoom]

Great point you make there. The problem is that with the store closed games that were “unlimited” to download now become limited commodities. So certain games prices go up. Also I don’t think the left 4 dead 2 dlc or alice madness returns dlc are available on series x. Meaning that 360 only way to play the full exp. If they are then ignore that part. To be honest I don’t know why but the same thing happened when the ps3 store attempted to “shut down” most of it is fomo or scared buying combined with scalpers and “collectors” that buy and resell to buy more taking advantage of the market. I just so happened to get the bug to start grabbing 360 because this years slate of games didn’t appeal to me and the library has been out long enough for enough people to sus out the gems and “rare games” that I can go look for them now. It was also cheaper then my usual ps1 collecting. I wish the prices were zero if I’m being honest lol

[@sanda386]

Hey I was at EA too, in 2008/09 doing localization QA at the EA European Shared Services office in Madrid. I tested Dragon Age: Origins, Skate 2, Burnout Paradise, The Beatles Rock Band, NFS: Undercover, NBA 09, among others 🙂 EA was releasing some great games back then, some of the ones I worked on but also Mirrors Edge, Dead Space, Dante's Inferno, The Saboteur, Rock Band 3... Ofc Alice M.R. as well. Which has probably become the only rare/expensive one.

[@KeaghanV3]

Woah wait. Please tell me what that background music was in the very beginning of the video????

[@Raikou.Shirogane]

That’s from the SNES game Chrono Trigger. It’s the theme from the Kingdom of Zeal.

[@KeaghanV3]

@@Raikou.Shirogane That’s what it was, I had chills of nostalgia go down my spine but couldn’t remember where it was from

[@TheWayloski]

I found a copy of WarTech at a local shop for $7. It’s starting to jump up in price. I was excited to play it, but it’s pretty shitty 😂

[@brianjackson3563]

Nice work

[@feelgooodflips4453]

Good video brotha!

[@MrGamemaster-lm3tj]

Shadows of the damned is getting a remaster

[@user-tv5hl8zu9s]

I LIKE YOUR VIDEOS I LIKE Playing MaxPayne 3 xbox 360 video games

[@NuclearAbyss]

Theres a few games that people aren't talking about yet, and I can already see them going up in price because they are kinda hard to come by. -Blur -Nier (Gestalt/US version) -Enchanted Arms -MGS Revengence -Divinity 2: The Dragon Knight Saga -The Cursed Crusader - Lollipop Chainsaw Ill give a special mention to Tomb Raider Legacy, Legends and underworld.

[@CarlC9898]

I got enchanted arms before those ebay dudes start selling it for 10x the price

[@NuclearAbyss]

@@CarlC9898 It didn't help that Fromsoft is at its peak. After Elden Ring and Armored Core 6, people are going back and picking up their past games. I had been buying xbox 360 games slowly since 2020, but stopped around mid 2022 because I started focusing on sales for newer games I wanted to play. I do get lucky finding cheap games, but I cant bring myself to spend a lot of money at once. So I kept passing on several games that are now expensive, but I picked up most of everything I wanted first. lol

[@CarlC9898]

@@NuclearAbyss TRUE, even the dark souls games stopped going on sale so frequently after the success of Elden Ring. It's crazy because I remember those games were less than $20 at gamestop and less than $10 on steam but now they rarely drop that much.

[@NuclearAbyss]

@@CarlC9898 Ya, even sekiro didn't go lower than $40. I use DekuDeals, to track sales and buy games at their lowest price.

[@mattneal4309]

Found darkest of days disc only at a pawn shop for 5 dollars

[@Hossmcpizza]

Never ever had a 360, the red ring of death scared me so I got a ps3

[@shanenice5380]

I am collecting ps5.i have funny feeling there prices will go up

[@D34d1y1]

You missed the 3rd game of 360 exclusive turn based tactical atlus games. Spectral force 3. It has already gone up but it is probably the least known of them. I have seen Alice and icon at flea markets but never was interested in them. Everyone says Alice is good though so I might pick it up.

[@LukesGamerRoom]

It’s funny you mention that game. Was holding that one for part 2! Yea I’d definitely give alice a shot. I really enjoyed it back in 2011 or so when I tested it.

[@RokushoHasashi]

I bought BulletWitch years ago randomly at my local Gamestop for about $8.99, and I recently bought all the DLC for it from the Xbox 360 Marketplace. I also got it signed by Sarah Natochenny (voice of Alicia Claus) 💙. I own both Left 4 Dead games. My dad bought me L4D1 for Christmas years back and I bought L4D2 at Gamestop on my payday years back too. I bought Alice Madness Returns from Ebay around the end of December 2021 for $28 and got it on my 32nd birthday, and it looks and plays better on my Xbox Series X. I just wish EA would let American McGee make Alice 3!

[@kbkimoseley]

No mention of El Chavo Kart or Dantes Inferno

[@gam85191]

many of the 360 discs that i have seen from friends, second hand stores, goodwill and online have some small bits of disc rot. Ya'll think you are sitting on a goldmine but you about to be disappointed long term. I am getting rid of my 360 collection after this summer

[@Bird-Birdy-Love]

You do know that by making these type of videos, your being counter productive and enforcing more panic buying and increasing the prices of these games further right?

[@user-rw1me9mu6n]

lol you sound upset he’s making a video?

[@Bird-Birdy-Love]

@@user-rw1me9mu6n No but i am stating that if everyone who keeps making these videos are directly influencing the market price and will make it even harder to buy em at affordable prices.

[@arioca]

@@Bird-Birdy-Love You're correct. These Xbox 360 game prices going up narrative on KZbin lately is getting utterly pathetic and are a disgrace for the gaming community. It's mostly resellers who don't play video games or pretend to like it trying to artificially inflate prices with obvious fomo tactics trying to get rid of a bunch of mediocre Xbox 360 games for a lot more than what they originally payed for. Only naive people believe these videos.

[@ocramknight]

I agree, I love xbox 360 related videos, but all of a sudden every channel is trying to catch views exploiting this trend of game prices and fueling the fomo...!

[@TheGunmanChannel]

If people are going around inflating prices, you telling more people will only add fuel to that fire.

[@MrFIRESEAL117]

My thoughts exactly. Is content for him at the cost of raising the price for everyone.

[@LukesGamerRoom]

double edged sword my friend, i wouldn't have grabbed a lot of the games i got if not for other youtubers videos mentioning games that i was interested in and showing footage. just so happens right as i was doing that everyone else seemed to have the same idea

[@The80Kat]

360 was also the best online era ever. But you’re wrong about the ps3 and Wii… but the rest of your video was good. I’m gonna try to get a left 4 dead now. Thanks

[@john-ek9gv]

i got operation darkness for £3 and sold it for £120

[@ericpivaral4747]

Do one for ps3

[@duff0120]

need for speed most wanted 2005 on 360 gotta be mention. the only modern version of the game, since ps3 wasnt out during that time. ps2,gc,og xbox versions arent as good as the 360 version. u cant buy most wanted on xbox shop either or on any pc shops or even run the 360 cd backward compl. with xbox series x or xbox one.

[@BustaBaxta]

Not playable on newer consoles actually

[@kcadventures1454]

Splatter house is awesome because they just don't make games like that anymore! Bulletwitch is actually a horrible game..I don't see why the price of that one is going up so much.

[@BobSure_AKA_PotatoSmasher]

Years ago #MetalJesusRocks did a series of videos praising 360 collecting. I'm happy I went out and grabbed a few of his recommendations. The 360 is fast becoming the next after market grift. Sure these type of videos don't help the situation but I can't blame "content creators" for trying to make a buck online. What else are they going to do? Get a job outdoors?!

[@hakim8688]

I didn’t even know what I was buying when I picked up Inferno Vengeance back in November for $9, I was floored to see the price for it recently

[@RetroTechSelect]

The 360 is still a great console to buy for, and I do feel like some of price inflation right now is speculative buying - just like what happened when the PS3 closing was announced. Thankfully, those prices have since moderated as well.

[@kh7955]

Literally? Literally!

[@Ares_0926]

All these steep price spikes are purely Fomo speculation. They are no more rare than they were 6-8 weeks ago. I mean honestly even by your reviews some of the games are garbage but they are asking $50+

[@ferminbustos6968]

I don't like it when gamers rate the games and resellers take advantage of gamer to collected really 😅😂

[@frankdesantis2326]

Resellers and rich people destroyed game collecting I’d rather buy madden 09 for 3$ then buy a game that sucks for 200$ just cause it’s rare no thanks

[@bmcginnis6543]

I cannot believe Splatterhouse hasn't gone up at all the past month.

[@bryancook6345]

You mean 14 Xbox 360 games to buy digital before the store closes physical is never going to disappear why would I want the physical over the digital so my cd can get stuck in the console that’s dangerous Microsoft made 2 bad consoles the original Xbox and Xbox 360 your CDs can get stuck inside they refuse to open

[@metalnuck3181]

Prices are speculative because of videos like this. Creating unnecessary FOMO. It’s artificial value. There is no reason a game like Bullet Witch should be selling for $30-$40. It’s a terrible game.
