That's why you need to buy only the games you like and play, not expensive crap just for collection

Fist of the North Star 2 is actually rare, been in many auction groups for xbox 360 games since 2016 and I've seen it only once

I think the crazy-priced games like Tornado Outbreak and Dark will come back down, but the majority that are in the $50ish range will stay there. The RPGs and Atlus games will always be highly collectable. Also I don't think the trends in the Wii U and handhelds apply here. Nobody cares about the Wii U. Portables are a niche market. There are 400 wata graded DS games on ebay worldwide. There are 600 wata graded Xbox 360 games.. and the 360 is just now shifting to a collector's market. I also think nostalgia and collector's FOMO will hit hard for the 360. Once you start collecting, you will realize the 360 was an awesome console and it had so many amazing games. It was the end of an era for games - where developers could take a chance on creating something unique. Final reason, the 360 is a pain in the butt to mod and requires soldering.

Instructions unclear. Bought graded 1st Edition Copies of Minecraft.

Hold the line.

Thank you for your saying it the way it is and not cashing on FOMO. Same happened with Vita, 3DS and Wii U. Price have skyrocketed when store closing was announced and now they came down significantly. Subscribed.

I think the hype is stupid but apploud anyone for taking the time to get these games and get what they can for them

Great video man. People are foolish to get caught up in these collecting stampedes. Also screw all these youtubers creating the FOMO.

@getthegreg With the announcement of Marvel Vs Capcom collection on Switch and PS4, how will that effect MVC2 prices on the PS2 and Dreamcast Versions? I can definitely see them drop in price and staying in the $100 range...

Sell now then buy again when the price dips down free money glitch

I remember everoasis 3ds was around 60- 75 ish now i see it for 40 something in stores.

I have the highest sold price for Fatal Inertia on Price Charting ha. Got it for $12 at a flea market

THEY DIDN’T listen to me 4 years ago lol..

I fully agree. I bought a bunch at my local shops and online stores that hadn't caught on back in early April. I've sold some along the way and will sell more in the coming weeks/months. One of my criteria for selling some are the titles that are also on PS3. I am likely going to keep a few games such as Operation Darkness and Zoids Assault since they are Atlus titles. I'm thinking to start playing through the rest to see what I like and what I'm willing to do without. By the way, there has been hype for some Fallout games as well and I've been taking advantage of that spike as well. :)

thankfully i bought most of my collection years ago but theres a couple i've been putting off forever so this is finally pushing me to get them trying to figure out which are worth buying now and which will crash back down is a lot of work but its good to know i can sell a small handful of the terrible ones i own rn to cover the cost of the ones i actually want lol

I’m reminded of when they were going to close PlayStation store first time Everything spiked and is now back to normal Ds/3ds store experienced a similar very short hype

I actually stopped buying 3ds games when the store was about to shut down. I did buy some digital only games though

Time to go through my non back compat 360 titles and see what prices look like. The couple I have that I know are less common (Secret Service, Naughty Bear, Stoked Big Air Edition) are all still cheap.

I have almost the entire Wii U library sealed Surprised that hasn't sustained higher

I gave into the hype and FOMO, but I'm only getting the ones I'm genuinely interested in playing. Fist of the north star 2 is actually one of those, I was able to get in for like 50 some dls, sadly no manual, but I can live with that. Some others that don't appeal to me I'm just passing on. I think I'm done with my shopping spree for now. I did have a few good 360 games from before all this I feel some of the ones I got are going to remain expensive regardless, like Fatal Inertia, which I got the urge to buy for some reason. I just hope I don't end up regretting getting it later on lol

In uk they are going up but im lucky I brought most of my games 3 years ago. I think I have 200 games and will start to sell end of next year

What does r/gamecollecting think?

Now I can forever remember your bday. I know the Xbox store closes the same day as my son's birthday. Put the pieces together and... Yeah

Interesting. I have around 300 Xbox 360 games in my ebay store and I haven't seen a noticeable increase in sales. I've got everything from .99 cent games to $100 games and I can't say i've seen a tick up or down. Pretty much just steady as she goes. I will say though that I was surprised to recently price, and then sell, Fallout New Vegas Ultimate edition for $75, That one took me by surprise. Other than that, I haven't experienced this.

A big 360 guy. Up to around 650. I refuse to ever pay more than retail for a 360 game. And really thats a stretch lol.

Devil's Third in a high grade is lower than the high of used. As a Nintendo nerd, I think most xbox and ps2 games used won't be worth anything because they are massed production and aren't tied to a franchise. A game you missed is Raiden Fighters Aces

My man out here doing the Lords Work.

In regards to the Wii U, so many Wii U titles have been ported over to the switch. I highly doubt some of these obscure Xbox 360 titles will ever see the light of day on a future Microsoft console. There in lies the rarity/demand..

So glad someone is saying it!

I have been stacking xbox games since i owned my og 360 ... i have over 5k and only see the prices going up across the board ,why? Nostalgia xbox 360 was peek gamin imo the special editions ,collectors sets were insane ,the graphics still look great now and the couch coop titles are the last of there kind .many titles are xbox exclusives never to be released again ... i have every console going back to my commodore 64 and the 360 is still my goat

If you collect but out in the wild at rock bottom, boot sales and charity/thrift shops etc you will still find games for the next decade, so relax and take your time.

I've been considering selling off a bunch of my 360 games. There may be another spike in the future but this may be peak time

I'll pass this info on to Mr. Wrightway. 😂 Don't forget the PS3. When that store threatened to close, we saw the same thing happen. PS3 prices have settled a bit but they haven't returned to their original prices. They'll jump all over again when they do finally decide to close that store for good.

Horror titles are definitely up in price..ie Splatterhouse

Only started collecting for the 360 some.months ago because its a huge library with a lot of reslly great games for cheap. Then fomo hit crazy. I cant wait for this 360 store to close already tbh, then after a few months when peoole stop caring, 98% of 360 games are gonna go back to normal pricing. Honestly.. I hadn't even checked mercari, ebay, etc in the last month+ until today... and tons of games I was eyeing have already dropped $15-20+ than what they were going for in April/May. Cant wait for the bubble to burst back to noone caring about the 360. This happens everytime.

The amount of Xbox collectors out there compared to Nintendo collectors are way lower. Most 360 games probably had a larger print run compared to Wii U games and I can't think of many 360 games that are considered "grails". Sure there are a few very obscure box sets/limited editions, some which were only given to the devs but nothing crazy that fetches 5 figures like some NES games. Now, the important question is, will PS3 see another spike when it's store closes? All signs point to "yes".

4:41 you still have German/European (non english covers) versions out here that have English in-game and are cheap.

2:53 That is a bad cover. Check German version :)

Bought bullet witch with no manual for 30 a few months ago sold it for 70 and bought King Kong for 40 CIB sold it for 100

Honestly super glad I bought Operation Darkness before all of this speculative meme cr*p happened. I legitimately wanted to play it for so long and finally got around to it during COVID. Basically never selling it now.

Bro I am doing the same thing. I am selling everything and then I'll be buying back all my stuff in a year or two for half the price. If you follow the crowd, you are an 1diot.

Wow I got a lot to list nice video man!😊

5:29 nonononono. Otherwise, yes. Been preaching this for a while

your head is too small for tank tops

I think I will be definitely keeping the ones with a "deep story and rich game play" Greggo! 😉😆 #Fomo

Sell? Nah. We don't sell games, homie.

You know what all the games that have skyrocketed in price in this video have in common? Uh, they all suck. Like everyone of them. Wet is like...okay, 3/5 stars. But seriously. All these games are terrible.

Yeah… none of my 360 games have gone up in price. I mainly own AAA, over manufactured titles.

Smile and wave boys, we will all have 3 copies with cost of the going rate of one now in 7 months

Shows DoA Extreme 2: "It has a rich story..." Then: Doesn't stop to explain the story.

I'll just run them on the steamdeck 😅

dude I bought dead or alive extreme volleyball for 360 but not for the women- believe what you want- lol but it was to get 1000 gp was in a rush to 100k and when I reached 100k... I felt... what am I doing with my "gaming time" this is just sad. I stopped caring abouit achivements afterwards and cleaned up my act. I wasted a lot of hours playing shitty games to get fast 1000gp. in that game I think I played the casino and just tried to buy swimsuits for the girls, for hours- like that was pathetic looking back, but thats what I did for easy 1000gp :O

How come we not talking about those gains on your shoulders brus??

OOOOOOPSSSSS

Had no clue this was happening lol

Nope.

So what I'm hearing is that it's time to buy xbox 360 games. Sell me your Halo games.

360 games are 30$ at the most or I'm not buying

Look at that awesome Fallout 3 grade

comparing wiiU to 360 ..

Really great stuff

Nah I'm good.

I will sell when the time is right now is not the time.

do you know why is the situation the way it is? So what is the mixture of a game with price increase: 1. Dead or hard to find original development team, that would be able to remaster the game for new generation of consoles. 2. Console exclusivity. 3. Game is tied to the dead and inactive DRM check (for example Microsoft Live) 4. Game has licensing issues. (music or portrayal of licensed, characters, singers, actors, cars, sport teams). 5. A very limited physical release or better yet, physical release was only done in 1 region. 6. A strong game nostalgia. Now you may noticed that half of the games you have shown have that dreaded Xbox Live logo on the top. So let me give you an example why is there such price increase for some of them: 1 Darkest of days - released only under Xbox 360 or PC. It got poor reception, but the physical print was not that big. There is no will or desire to redo this game or rerelease it. As a result, only Xbox 360 version is still playable today, because the PC version will play because of now dead Microsoft Live service. What does it do with pricing? - Xbox version is hitting 90 USD, which useless PC version is about 5 USD (for a shelve decoration only). 2. It is from Bethesda, but it was not received well when it was released, so Bethesda moved on and no additional game print was called for after the initial batch was put on the market. And btw. that game is also available on PS3, and these prices can affect those that are available on other consoles. Will Bethesda try to remaster it or make it backward compatible, now that they are Microsoft? It is hard to tell. However example of Dead Space shows that even if a remaster of a game is well received, it may not be enough to sell well enough. Do we have a spike now, sure we do, however in a long run they might slowly go still up (after pandemic, when some other games were going up, they did not come back to the pre-pandemic levels even if some of them were rereleased under newer systems).

nice DBZ UT VGA 90 sealed

I wouldn't buy Fatal Inertia for an old banana

I'm only buying xbox 360 video games that I want to play

I only buy games cheaply. That’s the way.

There'd still case packs if that crap out there. Over time it'll drop pretty low. It's just too far into DVD style mass production to be worth anyone's while long term.

Halo 4 meme now becomes reality

You look like Markidivider....

Reseller Rick and other grifters have assured me that what you are saying simply cant be true, xbox 360 to the moon 🌝

The market isn’t going to crash, and the prices for rare games will just keep going up as more people start collecting for the 360. Just look at the PS2 market. You can easily softmod the PS2 with a memory card, and play ISOs off an internal hard drive or USB flash drive, so you don’t even have to buy those expensive games, yet the prices still keep climbing. My advice is to actually get what you can cheaply right now, because it’s not going to get any better.

Is part of this guy's thing is wearing a tank top? ... Because only dudes watch his channel

Now is the worst time to sell 360 games. Dont ever invest in stock market, you wont make big money

I think comparing wii u to xbox 360 isn't the best point. I think ppl have a lot more nostalgia for 360 rather than wii u.

I'm grateful to you for make this videos you are a nice honest person

1:00 You can't discuss x box 360 games without needing patreon donations? I sincerely doubt that man, I and many others have done it for YEARS without needing donations, so can you.

Fun Fact: Pal Xbox 360 prices didnt change at all

I love watching these buy now, act now! type of videos. I completed my 360 collection in 2016. I have no intention of selling. I don’t collect for investment, but more and more KZfaqrs ignore us game COLLECTORS. Us game collectors collect before hype, because we are better than you resellers, aka every hype KZfaqr. 🎉😂😊
