WARNING: Do Not Let Xbox 360 FOMO Cause You to Make These 3 Mistakes

we need more Xbox 360 games for backwards compatible so bad 😢

100%. Be patient for prices drop. Or don’t buy if you disagree with the price or can’t afford. Don’t ever let FOMO run your finances.

Not to mention dont buy games that are going for top price, but look like they got pulled out of the trash and listed online. The amount of crap that sellers are listing for top prices is stupid.

[@davida7229]

Yes and no. There’s some games like marvel vs capcom 2 that are attached to the console. You can’t download it anymore even if it’s attached to your gamertag.

[@pauljacob99]

In my experience with these store closures the earlier you collect for the system, the better. And when prices do skyrocket on the closure, that is the time to take a pause because prices will come down, but not back to the lower levels from before the closure was announced.

I've had my Xbox 360 Slim since 2010 and it still works for me and I had a pretty good Xbox 360 collection for a couple of years and started up again in 2022, and it's growing bigger now 😀. I've been buying certain Xbox 360 games, and the places I've been looking for are Gamestop, Mercari, Goodwill, Salvation Army, OfferUp, Ebay, and Facebook Marketplace. I also own Alice Madness Returns and Lollipop Chainsaw 🍭 [I got Lollipop Chainsaw signed by Tara Strong at Fan Expo Chicago 2023]

Great video. Was collecting for the 360 for years. Had around 290 games but realistically I’m not going to play them. Got rid of half of them and have kept the games I will play. Love that you said focus on collecting what you’ll actually play.

[@micheleraurorhi2021]

[@SwampyLantern]

You talk a whole lot of sense. Thank you. Refreshing when there are so many ‘GRAB THESE PHYSICAL GAMES NOW BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE’ videos out there at the moment.

[@NuclearAbyss]

The fomo its insane, a lot of people will lose quite a bit of money when everything is said and done. The market for 360 collecting is still early, that prices are all over the place. The worst part is that quite a few games are in terrible shape and still going for insane prices. Once the market settles down, a lot of people that bought games with water damage, crack cases, missing manuals, scratch up disc, will find out that people will not pay top dollar for a barely acceptable game.

[@NuclearAbyss]

@@fritzthecat8158 Thats not a very accurate statement. a lot of kids grew up with 360/ps3, and not many people take care of their things. So its hard to find older games with manuals and in good condition because kids never take care of their stuff. Its even worse because the quality of cases from the start of the 360 to 2012 is night and day. Its the same issue with N64, GBA etcc.., everyone threw the cardboard away and now its hard to find complete coping and what is complete is way too expensive.

[@LatashaMoore-y7r]

I'm grateful to you for showing me your Xbox 360 video games you are a honest person

[@omegaman2767]

I have over 1200 XBOX 360 games, and it's one of my favorite consoles! So many different category of games, especially college sports games! I bought many of them brand new for under $15 on clearance, from places like Walmart, FYE, and Target. The best time to build a collection at a lower expense is during the last 2 or 3 years of a consoles life cycle! Luckily I found 2 brand new copies of NCAA Football 2014 at Walmart for $29.99 each during that timeframe! Great video!! #TeamPhysical

[@justinviri2087]

I remember Walmart having about 15 sealed copies of NCAA 14 knocked down to $5 each. I already had one so I didn't pick any up. Doh.

[@micheleraurorhi2021]

[@Isthatchicken01]

I feel people are still going to buy at a premium for 360 games when those games are getting delisted (even though they might be available on other consoles) just to say they have it on a console that you can’t get any more.

[@PortugueseBadman]

Thanks this puts me at ease. A wise way is to build this collection like how you would for any other console. One game at a time. You buy the game because you simply want to and not for an alterior motive like FOMO. This concept actually comes from a book I read that talks about setting goals out of inspiration vs goals out of desperation.

[@butters3063]

Solid advice, as someone who watched the prices of Gamecube games fluctuate from $60 - $3 in less than a year - stay patient. For the pricer games that are harder to track down I would absolutely recommend saving a few eBay searches because at the end of the day luck is your best friend, not everyone cares to get the most value out of these games so if you look hard you can definitely find what you’re looking for within your price range. Another thing that helped was emulation, I am an avid collector who always prefers physical copies and a few months ago I decided rather than spending $50+ on a copy of The Simpsons Hit Run I would emulate it for free to decide if I really wanted the game or if I was being blinded by nostalgia. 9 times out of 10 I get bored rather quickly and realize that buying a physical copy would’ve been a waste. Ask yourself, will I sincerely get more enjoyment from PLAYING this game or OWNING this game? This has also helped me widdle down my collection significantly:)

[@micheleraurorhi2021]

yes you re right but surfing the 360 marketplace now (only the console based one works properly in EU) I'm finding out tons of games ,mainly horizontal shooters, that are good

just get an RGH Xbox 360 you can play any games for free. Just don't connect it to Xbox live. And you can still get achievements offline, just keep your profile on a flash drive so you can upload your achievements to the live service on a retail unmodified console.

still waiting for more Xbox 360 games for backwards compatible?

[@Jfscloud723]

They have licensing issues so most games will not be available. also it actually emulates games and doesn't play off the game disc. That means backwards compatible games will not work properly as emulation is not as reliable as original.

[@joea874]

Unfortunately the backwards compatibility team has been disbanded for 4½ years at this point, Microsoft confirmed that the project is done and no more games will be added to backwards compatible, they did bring it back briefly in 2021 for Xbox’s 20th anniversary but that was a one off and it’s unlikely they’ll ever bring it back.

[@bmcginnis6543]

Prices will only come down for games that went crazy, that were $15 before the announcement and are now $100+. I already see a bunch coming down from that price range. There's just not a lot of buyers of 360 games at those prices. Now games that are $40 to $60 and more on the rare side, I don't see them ever coming back down to the old prices.

[@Jnd23]

They will definitely forever be bumped but people will start squirming and accepting $25-$40 offers on the $100+ ones now when people realize how stupid it was to buy a $5 used game for $160 lol

[@zachross8081]

i really like to play more Xbox 360 games on Xbox One/Series X? so bad 😢

[@TheBigRagooDOTcom]

Nice collection! You have some really cool games

[@Damackism]

Surprisingly only genres of games I play and collect are usually the ones that are sought after on the 360 now. Especially if they are complete. Here is a list of games that are affordable but sought after by 360 collectors. Bulletwitch:: 3rd person action again Death Smiles:: shoot em up Rumble Roses XX:: all female sexy wrestling game. Blue Dragon:: JRPG from the creator of Final Fantasy with character fesign work by the late Dragon Ball creator Akira Toriyama. Lost Odyessy( spelling?):: Another JRPG from the crestor of Final Fantasy. Marvel Ultimate Alliance 1 and 2 2k All Pro Football Ninety Nine Nights 1 and 2 Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball 2. NBA Street Homecourt

[@leejones2113]

I have to be honest. FOMO is also the reason why I tried types of games I would have never bought.

[@philipberlanda]

Don't be scared just because someone tells you to buy something. If you never cared before. Then you probably won't care in the future. If you haven't stumbled upon the game in almost 20 years then it was never ment to be. I gave all of my old xbox 360 games away and i don't regret it. I had them for a long time and I would rarely go back to them.

[@micheleraurorhi2021]

that's partially true but surfing the 360 store I'm finding tons of games I could like

[@Patrick-tw7nr]

I just picked up a good condition CIB copy of Blue Dragon at GS today for 19.99. They had Wet as well but my rule for buying 360 games is that I must be able to play them on my Xbox One X or Series X as I don’t plan on buying a 360 anytime soon so I passed on it. They had it for 14.99 and I see it selling on eBay for 49.99 so I might check back next month and if still there I’ll buy to flip it if necessary

[@micheleraurorhi2021]

[@twiztidraven86]

Lollipop chainsaw is ps3 and 360 i think, either way it’s totally worth buying. Dynasty warriors gundam series is also totally worth playing. This crap about value though is lame, buy the games because they’re fun not because it costs a ton of money. What a pointless vid. Most of the games in this vid are worth playing. Buying to make money is such a horrible “collector” frame of mind. The points you’re making in this are dumb. Those games are legitimately fun aside from sonic and then the value of the Spider-Man I know for at least shattered dimensions for some reason is high.
