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.

Unfortunately the X360 catalogue is not completely 100% back compatible.

•KZfaqrs start making tons of videos on 360 games out of nowhere •Suddenly prices skyrocket •mfw

I'm currently selling all my games and using the money to pay off all my debt instead. I'm tired of collecting. I'm going to cash out and I've already replaced half my consoles with ode's and ever drives and hard drive mods. Done paying these crazy prices. As long as I'm playing on real hardware I don't care. Y'all can fight over these prices.

***takes wartech out of my sell pile***

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.

I’m glad you reminded me. Pulled the trigger on some games I’ve been eyeing for a while. I think I got what I’ve wanted.

Blitz the League II is over $100 now, unreal.

great video pete! Ugh! I forgot to pick up my copy of culdcept saga!!! Maybe I'll get lucky and find it in the wild somewhere.

Man that zoids game is BRUTAL. I 100% it few years back and my god the later levels are tough as nails.. I’m currently playing another turn based grid combat 360 exclusive operation darkness

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

Darkest of days is $80?!?! Holy crap I paid $6 for it at GameStop in 2019

Hey Pete, appreciate your previous video on this topic and coming back to it again as it starts to get hot. Got almost all the games I wanted to get last year, only a few very cheap ones to go. I think I'll add them to my collection soon and then lay back as the storm is setting in. You sure saved me a couple of bucks, so thanks a lot!

I've been collecting 360 since 2015

Great video Pete. I'm glad I got my copy of Darkest of Days a few months back. I've been collecting 360 games for a while now so luckily I have most of what I really want for the system. Hopefully I can just get the last few games I want before more price increases and I can finally call my Xbox 360 collecting done. Thanks for making these videos.

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

Pete, thanks for these videos. I walked back my physical collecting, but I still enjoy tuning in. There's a intangible quality to your channel that makes it one of my favorites.

Just a correction the Xbox 360 store will be shutdown that doesn't include backward compatibility titles those can still be bought from modern Xbox store digitally also any previously bought Xbox 360 content will still be able to be downloaded past the shutdown date. Great video though i enjoy watching your explanations :)

Formula 1 2013 is a game that Bobby Baqai over at Deal Tavern has a few thousand copies that he was supposed to circulate online but he pulled his listing so now it's a very "rare" game except to Bobby who has most of the print run.

Just found Culdcept Saga for $30. Totally slept on it.

Amazing video! Really love these market analysis videos. Luckily I have been watching you for a little while now and did actually pick up some of these RPGs last year. Glad I did! I think the fact that these games are playable on newer hardware will drive prices even more and we’ll eventually see it pass PS3. Especially as time goes on and working PS3 hardware gets scarce. I think we’ve seen that already with Nintendo with hardware that plays older generations.

Thanks for info!

Great vid Pete. Luckily I have most of these already. I highly recommend Afro Samurai to anyone, it got a bunch of 5-6/10’s when it came out but is a genuinely awesome game.

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

Really glad to have picked up Culdcept Saga complete at GameStop a few years back for under $20

thanks for the heads up , got wartech for 10$ canadian at the local game store today because of your tip👍

I’m like 900 games into the full set and I’ve been dragging my feet on heavy hitters like el chavo kart. Guess I’ll get them before it costs more than my car payment

Excellent video. Not long enough though. I could have kept going for an hour.

This is depressing. I really hope most of these prices go back down eventually.

Picked up Walking Dead Survival Instincts yesterday for a tenner, I have no doubts that'll be double before the end of the year

The only games to get physically are the ones NOT backwards compatible. No point in games like Lost Odyssey if you already can buy it digitally for way cheaper when sales hit. I would appreciate a video on must-have games that are not BC before the 360 store shuts down in July.

Glad I bought Wartech Senko Ronde for $14 many months ago. I wanted it since I saw your 360 collection

ebay fees are like 15% now. i think this video should be what do we do about ebay?

Thank you industry for porting the best ones. Imagine a world where RE4 OG was locked in a console and was priced at 100 USD

I watched your video I think a few days ago and I was on my way down to see the eclipse and I stop at a vendor booth store and at the corner of my eye I see WarTech for $9 I legit went oh my god what are the chances of that lol. I also found blue dragon for $15 which is also up in price now about $60 for a CIB copy. Great finds while on a trip

I just picked up a 360 again too lol 😅 Great… all good, gonna pick up the ones I wanna play 🔥

Another beautiful day for a Pete video. Cheers. 🥂 🎉

in a way, videos like this, make the prices go even higher. the prices are the prices, now lets send a percentage of 114K people over to ebay to buy these titles....

They’re getting expensive because of videos like this

That nuts... that F1 2013 is like £8 here in the UK? - Why's it so expensive in the US?

Are they still going to be downloadable from download history?

good video pete you are a legend

Man, it always feels like if I stop paying attention to game prices for even just a month, all of a sudden things start blowing up. I’ve had Culdcept Saga on the back of my mind for a good while when it was in the $45-50 range, forgot about it, and now it’s far past what I would willingly pay. At least I picked up Wartech for cheap. Also thanks to your heads up I decided to just now order Enchanted Arms as I’ve always been curious about it and it’s BC yet delisted on the modern Xbox store.

I picked up f1 2013 a few years back, the reason it’s so rare is because the ntsc version only released in Latin regions.

Hey Pete, what are your thoughts on the rarity of fist north star Ken’s rage? Seems like all of a sudden it is impossible to find.

Got most of what I wanted already thankfully your warnings helped. Got dragon ball Kinect for $40 and I am happy with that. I think the Kinect games will be hard to emulate so I kept the hardware and got all the games I think I might ever want to try for it.

Hey bro, like your KZfaq videos. I think why you are going to see Xbox 360 games going up in price, is due to the Xbox 360 becoming the new retro console now. It seems to happen with every console so far, so it does make some sense why the prices would spike up. Take care and God bless you.

When did collecting video games transition itself from a cheap hobby to a bragging rights hobby

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!

I still own 447 X Box 360 games, it is my second biggest library of games per console. I haven't bought any additional games in a few years though, so maybe I should push that to at least 450 or even 500 just to get a nice round number.

Glad i got all most of all my fav games on the 360 a few years back thinking this was gonna happen lol i hardly even play video games days but still great to collect them

Some games you can't even find listings for. Fist of the North star 2 has 1 listing for $300 (got mine sealed for $90 a few months ago. Autobahn polizei has 0 listings. Flea market by me had a few zoids assault copies but no manuals so I just got it on eBay. Probably would have been a good investment to pick them up.

Need to grab conkers reloaded

Im so glad im a physical collector. I recently picked up lollipop chainsaw, blue dragon, lost odyssey, cathrine, the saw games, splatterhouse, silent hill DP, wet, and naughty bear😅

So glad I accidentally started collecting for the 360 starting last year. I bought need for speed most wanted for £20.

Anyone know if Infinite Undiscovery gets any upgrades thru backwards compatibility?

My 360 system is broken and i dont have any other xbox systems.. So do i need to get a new 360 and download all the games i purchased digitally? Will i lose access to games ive already purchased digitally?

I might have to hang onto the copy of Zoids Assault ( with manual) that i picked up in a charity shop here in the UK. I couldn't find much about it over here when I checked while in the shop but since it was only £3 I took the risk😅 Odd finding an American copy of a game over here

I’m so glad I bought Most Wanted for £18 back in 2015 😬

I bought blitz the league two for $45 last year and now it’s over $100! Crazy stuff

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.

I think part of why NFS Most Wanted 2005 is as expensive as it is is because it’s the best unmodded version of the game, actually having better graphics and HD 16:9 support compared to PC which to this day is getting mods to port over some Xbox 360 graphical effects and textures. It also never released on PlayStation 3 so it’s the only 7th gen version of the game.

I got Darkest of Days complete for 25 bucks last year on eBay. Good game

I just started getting into collecting for 360. Cause it's honestly a great gen for gaming. Games are definitely going up in price, but the 360 has such a great catalog..you can still find TONS of great games for cheap. Not sure how it'll be in a few years from now, but now is definitely the time to get into it if you haven't already. Atleast to grab those heavy hitters titles you really want.

I always knew darkest of days would be a rare game later I got 2 of em

Im surprised most wanted is that expensive. It was a game that got released for pretty much every system put there.

I bought a CIB NTSC copy of F1 2013 on 9/29/2022 for $53.82.. A little later than I bought most of my stuff for the 360 and obviously resorted to getting that one online like I had to with some of the others that aren't as easy to find.. I'm currently just under 900 Unique games (891 to be exact) on the 360 and the vast majority were picked up locally over the past 15 or so years.. Not my absolute favorite console (That might be the SNES or Ps1) but One of my top 5 biggest game libraries for sure.

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.

are all 360 games *actually* on the disc? when the servers are down or if one opened a NIB 360 & Game will the majority of 360 be able to function? I love physical media too but we need to be aware of the cutoff point where the games are not actually on the disc in a full, playable form.

There are still a couple of games that i want to collect for the 360. Glad to have bought up Lost Odyssey, Eternal Sonata & Afro Samurai back when their cheap. But sadly my 360 rrod and searching up the code found out the fault is the faulty capacitor near the usb port. I still will be collecting the games though while i find a way to fix the console

Basically, why I have been thinking about getting out of collecting... I'm not paying $200 for an xbox 360 game, and the pricing gets to a point where you have to draw the line. When it doesn't feel right, its time to pay attention to your gut feeling no how much you love the hobby and let be real with a job I'm not going to be able to play most of these games. As time goes on, I constantly think maybe it's time to sell, and no matter how hard it is, one day it just might have to happen. The question is, when?

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.

F1 2013 is considered one of the best F1 games. it also is one of the few that has a really cool classic mode were you can play the old 80s F1 cars. so its like two F1 games in one.

Actually been picking up 360 titles lately. Nothing amazing, but I got Blue Dragon and Armored Core 5 for $20 each.

I thought the 3DS store front was the first closing? Or the wii?

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.

Wtf I literally just sold a lot of 69 really good Xbox 360 games on eBay Monday. Sold for $502. Should’ve waited

A good chunk of games weren’t even digital … most wanted about to sky rocket

I'm sure glad I bought my 300 plus 360 games back a while when I did.

Damn.

I mostly collected PS3 games over 360 games because back in the day it was less likely to get a scratched up disc from GameStop since blu ray discs were more scratch resistant but now I’d like to get some 360 games as a time capsule

I've been collecting for the PS 3 and have seen prices going up .my some of my games have gone up by 30 dollars.

Shout out to "Singularity" on the 360, the game that Titanfall 2 copied the story from. (which isn't backward compatible)

if the Xbox + Activision Showcase was announced, I'm thinking that Microsoft pretty much had to bring back the Backward Compatibility program to include 50+ older Activision Games on the Series X and months later More 360 and OG Xbox games compatible on The Series X for the sake of game preservation.

I would like to get some of them physically but I got Asura’s wrath for like $6 digitally and a physical copy of that is already like $60

World Of Tanks Combat Ready is one to watch. Disc version is just a coaster now but for the completionist, this is a must. Mark my words, this one is already very uncommon but let's see if it goes skyward in value 😜

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? 😭

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.

Interesting. The F1 2013 game is dirt cheap in Europe. Must not have printed that many copies for the US market

I don't know much about F1 2013 but i do know that one of the reasons why it and f1 2014 are pretty expensive is because of them being delisted from the xbox store. F1 2013 for awhile was available on the xbox storefront but eventually got delisted and they didnt print very many physical copies for north America. now f1 2014 that game got delisted i think in 2020 or something and is backwards compat with the xbox series x and such so that one will definitely increase more as time goes on. another crazy example of a price increase would be Blur for xbox 360,, for the longest time it was a $20-$25 game and now its pretty hard to find and going for $50+ now.

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.

I bought blue dragon for 8 bucks a few years back. Crazy what happens

I remember buying Wet as a kid for $10. Now it's almost $100.

I bought so many 360 games for $1-$10 a couple impulse buys were $20. KOF 13 was going for over $50 and just bought it on steam. I'm not playing the collectors game anymore. It's either Xenia or Steam if it's over $10 these days.

In country I live in Poland. it's very hard to find games like Culdcept Saga, Fatal Inertia and Zoids Assault. I think those games will sky rocket in price

I have a sealed copy of Culdcept Saga. Among others that are still sealed and plan to stay that way.

Very interesting

Back when i was a teenager i owned web of shadows and shattered dinensions. Traded them in with a handful of other games. Boy do i regret that one

I own culdcept saga but I cant play it on series X!😤 Its such a fun game
