I recently got an Xbox Series X, and naturally I wanted to go back and enjoy some of the 360 titles that I played as a teen. For once, I feel like I did not miss the boat on buying these games at a decent price. Everybody talks about how cheap SNES and N64 carts used to be, but I wasn’t into retro gaming then, so all I’ve ever known is absurd prices.
I just bought Final Fantasy XIII for $0.99 on eBay (plus shipping). Ninety nine cents! Is this the norm? I know FF13 was controversial, but overall it’s a great title to own, pretty unique since Final Fantasy is usually Playstation exclusive.
I might just start a 360 collection.

I feel that common games on the 360 will stay cheaper longer than popular games on older consoles. In my opinion those that have nostalgia attached to the 360/PS3 are more content to own their game’s digitally, so supply could hold out for longer.
In addition I wonder with all these HD remasters/ releases if people will value the collectability of the originals as much. I kind of see this with the Atari 2600, where inferior ports of arcade games on the system have near 0 value (though they so in my heart). Though this could just be a product of how rudimentary games from that time are.
It’s the golden age to mod Xbox 360’s and put the games on an external drive.
An internal drive would have less latency though.
My 360 is sitting in storage for fear of the red ring of death. I was not aware that 360 games were supported. Sounds like I need to check out the XBox Series X.
Edit: Thank you!
Hey, this is about retro gaming. The 360 isn’t retro. It just came out *checks calendar* 18 YEARS AGO?? WTF?
