The Xbox 360 Will Be Dead Soon

The Xbox 360 will soon be shutting down many of its features. While nothing lasts forever, it's still sad to see a gaming giant and a piece of video game history will be going away, all to save a few bucks. #gaming #xbox #xbox360

I'm so annoyed at this. I know nothing will be forever but Microsoft is made of money. This just comes off as cheap to me.

[@connieliquorson4368]

@@justinsider7890It is cheap. It’s a multibillion dollar company acting like they need to cut more costs. Sad.

[@_-Bane-_Main]

As far as I’m concerned, if a game is no longer available through any official platform, it should legally be fair game to emulate. It’s nonsensical to enforce anti-piracy laws on something that is otherwise unobtainable unless you go to some scalping prick selling it for 5X what it’s worth.

good luck man the sad truth is that xbox 360 emulation isn't the greatest. Only some key games work and yes a lot do work but some of the "hidden gem type games" good luck finding functioning versions on emulation. We need more time

I had a tiny hope with the Activision acquisition that Microsoft would have an interest in bringing some of those old licensed games up like the Craig Bond games or the Spidey games... But it's probably a while renegotiation issue and now they said they're not adding anything new RN to backwards compatibility.

[@lukeskywalkerthe2nd773]

*sigh* This is just another L for game preservation and further proof that companies don't give a damn about their history and emulation is essential at this point. The 360 era was pretty much the golden age for the whole Xbox console and all of its games, or at the very least as many of its games as possible, deserve to be preserved.

[@firstnamelastname956]

What? Lol emulation is not essential. Xbox 360’s aren’t hard or expensive to find… if you really were about preservation, you’d go find you the actual consoles and games and not some emulation crap.

[@netbirth]

​@firstnamelastname95 it's about the digital only games, also another big thing you're not thinking about is if people want to get on this, lots of disc based titles need free compatibility packs, or has general free dlc packs that need to be activated via the store. They won't be accessible if your account has never claimed them, I'm trying to get as much as I can claimed before all this happens

It means officially it will be. As in from the standpoint of the companies supporting it, it's dead. People can keep the thing alive with modding etc, but as far as officially, it's being buried.

Yeah I went to GameStop the other day and they now classified that console and all of its games as “vintage”. I can't believe I'm old enough to be around for something I had as a kid to now be considered vintage. Yeesh.

[@Hoodawg]

Why the hell would anyone want to go into a Gamestop? Also: vintage means vintage not obsolete. Vintage used to be 50 years old, then 30.. then 20. Now it's around 15ish. It's a marketing term to still push stupid prices on stuff the masses aren't all hype-training over.

[@sandman8920]

When gaming companies do this, all it is is a "push" to get gamers to be essentially forced into buying their newest and most expensive product. That's all it is. Lucky me, I'm good with my previous gen hardware and games. I'll make them last a lifetime. They won't get my money with new games if they continue to infest them with woke garbage.

Im still mad that i never got to buy skin pack 1 for minecraft xbox 360. Its the one thing that I didnt get to preserve...

That really sucks. Did they not add those skins in later versions of the game? Or was it removed? I know a lot of DLC has been de-listed but I didn't know that it affected Minecraft. I would think with how big that franchise is, it would have been safe from that.

I'm planning on filling out for a job at Brookshire Brothers and I'm going to save up for a 360, it's unfortunate that shit like this always happens because they simply don't want to keep the servers up, also by the way speaking of online only games, my favorite RPG game (Angry Birds Epic) is actually online only and it's single player, I haven't played the game since 2016 since I've always been and with an internet connection 24/7 and I never cared about what games were online only and ones that weren't, so when I got disconnected from the internet that one time, it wouldn't let me play, and I thought the game itself just simply stopped working, when I was just disconnected from the internet. :(

I'm sad that the Xbox 360 Marketplace is closing, the Xbox 360 was my console growing up, it's really the end of the golden era of gaming 😢. Xbox President Sarah Bond said that she's setting up a new team dedicated to game preservation, hopefully she finds a way to not shut down the Xbox 360 Marketplace. An example of game prices going up because of delisting was when Spec Ops the Line for Xbox 360 was delisted, prices shot up! I'm glad I bought my copy last july for $18.07 before it got delisted from digital stores. This is why I buy all my games Physical and I only buy Digital if physical isn't available. If buying is not owning then piracy is not stealing.

[@classicpctinker5070]

Yes, you can still buy digital games & DLC for your 360 on the built in 360 store. Best be quick though, it closes late June. Classic 360 cod games and dlc is probably better to purchase on an Xbox One/ Series though because it still goes on sale there periodically. When using the same profile, it should show up on your 360's download list.

It's sad that a lot of great games on the 360 will be gone once the store gets shut down. I'm trying to get ahead of it by buying a few 360s just to mod. Looking for those limited edition consoles. After the store gets shutdown will 360s go up in price?

I actually do think that's part of the reason why a lot of games never are preserved, but what's odd is that PC gaming proves that you can do both. There's so many PC gamers that play retro games on there, but they also buy new games when they are good. I think the problem is companies don't want to be forced to make good games. Because if you can't access the old ones, like you said, all of a sudden mediocre games look a lot better because it's all you can play.

For me the Xbox 360 and PS2 are still the gold standard for consoles in terms of pure enjoyment.

It better not be

[@RedTroPc]

this is why im against new windows stuff and newer consoles. ps5 has a diskless version, it will be useless once it goes obsolete. Windows 10 can use online accounts, and uses the store for most apps. When those shut down too, your pc is useless. Older computers can still be used, like xp and 98. 10 and 11 will be harder

If i cannot play my older games, i will have to emulate. The modern game industry is just garbage and not worth my time. Id rather play warband or bards tale.
