Why I'm Buying Xbox 360 Games In 2022... 

Small update: I misread my eBay app. I had only paid $10 for Assassin's Creed! I appreciate the many of you who reached out with concern that I was horribly scammed

I’m using eBay A lot these past few months. Bought both KOTORs, max payne 1-3, just bought the deus ex games etc. been enjoying clearing out my very long backlog during these quiet months

Been collecting 360 games since 2019, have over 200 games in my collection now. Back when I started buying prices were dirt cheap. I remember buying a box of 50 games (no duplicates) for about $60. Lots of great games in this generation and it's a ton of fun to collect for. 360 definitely hasn't hit its stride yet, so it's still attractive to collect for if you haven't started yet.

Grabbed Far Cry 3 for the 360 so I can play it on my Series X, finished it a while back and I absolutely loved it

I’m always shocked by how expensive second hand games are in the US, most are double what they would cost in the UK. If you look at the library of PS3 games over here, half of them cost between $1-5. Additionally, there are about 1000 physical PS3 games released in Europe, and you could get a complete set for about $10,000, including all the rare titles that go for $70+.

Singularity is one of the most underrated games ever. Absolutely love that game!

360 was peak gaming for me--played the most games I ever had on that system.

I grabbed Max Payne 3, Skate 2, The Godfather 2, & The Saboteur literally yesterday. Those non-backwards compatible games are gonna start getting pricey af to pick it up in the next few years 📈

This is a console I went hard on collecting when everybody else was buying snes and 64 games

Fantastic 360 favorites, all good picks, "Singularity" is among my absolute favorites being a huge Raven Software fan! I have a Top 60 Xbox 360 games video not on the Xbox backwards compatible list uploading tomorrow!

I went and bought Fallout 3 for my Series X. I had forgot how much I enjoyed that game, AND ITS STILL REALLY GOOD!! And shoutout to the og Red Dead Redemption, what a game.

Max Payne 3 was awesome ! Loved that game so much due to the slow motion aspects

With 2023 on horizon, I think I am starting to crave for more of such old games. Nothing can beat the Nostalgia of Xbox 360 days. The games were short but made with emotions, unlike these days where each developers slams a whooping 100 plus hours of non-sensical grindy missions on base game.

OG Xbox and Xbox 360 are the most fun to collect for right now. their games are super cheap and all the consoles are usually reasonable. I bought a 360 slim for not even $100 just to start a collection with. this was my all time favorite era of gaming.

The Xbox 360 is an amazing console that's packed with so many wonderful games and series. I love that there are a lot of backwards compatible Xbox 360 titles that you can play on your Xbox One X and Xbox Series X consoles. I've built up a massive Xbox 360 collection over the years. It's over 500 titles now and I've owned the Xbox 360 since launch day back in 2005. Keep up the great work on the channel.

I'm right there with you, Matty. In the past couple months just for XB360 I picked up The Darkness 1 & 2, GTA Stories from Liberty City, Portal 2, Spec Ops: The Line, and Max Payne 3 (and 1 & 2 for OG Xbox). Plus, just arrived today: Enslaved: Odyssey to the West. I love when we get a little lull in the big releases so I can pad out my collection a bit with some great older stuff I might've missed back in the day.

Yup. Buying them for the series x has been a good time

$30 for Assassins Creed 1? Ah man you way overpaid for that, that's like a $5 game at any game store.

I really love these types of videos, the channel was a really cool idea. Would you think about doing a video kinda going through what you would watch out for when trying to make purchases? Sometimes it can be hard to trust certain platforms or know where theres a solid way to find certain games.

You payed 30 bucks for ac 1 when in reality it's 7 or less on ebay

I just bought Fable Anniversary for $25 at my local game shop and it came with a slip cover case and a insert for a code for a few cosmetic items.

Both Fable Anniversary (1:12) and Assassins Creed (4:35) got enhanced for the Xbox One X, which means that they are both natively outputting 4K for One X and Series X users. Really looks great on a 4k screen

Sonic the hedgehog (2006) will more than likely increase over time as well. It was always a little pricey for a 360 game but it will more than likely jump even more as time goes on, especially the non ‘greatest hits’ version.

Yeah Singularity was such an underrated gem. I remember genuinely adoring it. I tended to play a lot more "random" games than my friends did so I was able to find really cool games like that and stuff like Lollipop Chainsaw and Spec Ops the Line that my buddies would kinda tease me about.

As a kid, we used the Hulk Hands to start a backyard boxing ring on our trampoline. Hahaha This brought back some serious memories.

The Max Payne 3 multiplayer is shutdown sadly. Managed to get all the trophies for multiplayer before it shutdown, really fun!

The Xbox 360 is the next "PS2 library" to collect for. As in, most games, not all, are still dirt cheap to purchase; especially if you're avoiding those PS3 game prices. It is also one of the more accessible, and easier libraries to start building your game collection as opposed to PS3, Sega Saturn to name a few. I recommend now.

Just recently went in on a big increase for my PS3 collection because I don't want to be late to the party when everything from this gen shoots up due to nostalgia. Landed an 18 game lot including stuff like CoD 4, Oblivion, Conan, and MK vs. DCU and bought Resonance of Fate, Binary Domain, and MG Rising Revengeance individually

Nice video. Since my xbox one died 4 weeks ago i just bought a 360 and started collecting and playing the old games.

Literally just bought a 360 again two days ago. Words can't express how much I missed the system. Picked up a slim that looks virtually brand new for $50 and loaded up on used games that are super cheap. Lost Odyssey needs to be on the list of must buys. Force unleashed for a God of war style game with a great story. Fight night round 3 always been amazing. Beautiful graphics and action.

At my favorite retro shop right now looking at the 360 selection. Definitely gonna be picking up some more stuff.

I got Maxpayne 3 again recently Still my all time favorite TPS. I also got a bunch of other 360 games and PS2 games and some really hold up Games like Star wars episode 3, The warriers, Bully, force unleashed and splinter cell conviction. Games Like Witcher 2, New vegas, Fallout 3 did not hold up as well but I still really enjoyed them. Fallout 3 and New vegas became some of my all time favorites.

Really wish Xbox would add a completion list or a badge on title in UI library. Most of us can’t 100% the achievements but finish the game and would love to look back at all games completed.

Didn't know that Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe was backwards compatible... so I bought it while watching the video. €13,00 for a complete PAL copy including shipping. Also got Army of Two: The 40th Day even though it's not backwards compatible. It's still a great title. Hoping to see more of these Xbox 360 / PlayStation 3-themed videos! 👍🏻

For anyone that might be on a tight budget that wants to start collecting I was able to get my little sister a used xbox 360 back in November for Christmas that came with 10 games for $60 on Facebook market place. I’ve also bought a few new factory sealed Xbox 360s games on Amazon for $20 each. And I’ve got a few games at a church yard sale I volunteer at for a $1 each. Great deals are out there if you know where to look, are patient and sometimes willing to do a little work, happy collecting!!!

Keep it up with these Retro videos Matty enjoying the nostalgia. In my respectful opinion I started enjoying this content then your main channel. Still love some your topics on your main but this channel is what I enjoy the most imho Keep it up either way!

Nice, something to take my mind off of the major delays this week!

Singularity is awesome on the steamdeck.

That’s one of the best parts of owning a series x or s. Despite no new exclusives the ecosystem is so fast and easy that it feels seem less to play current gen and 360 games.

Man, the hulk hands where sick. I didnt have them but my mate did. I had that Abomination toy thats on the ad there tho. Always liked Abomination.

I bought a replacement 360 in December and its been my most played console this year. There is still so much I never played or finished

The Xbox Series X fps boost for Fable Anniversary is a game changer, honestly...I tried playing fable 2 straight after and it's tough going back to 30 and sometimes below frames

Ive been growing my collection lately as well. Mostly ps3, and some ps2. Its crazy how many amazing games are under $20

Xbox 360 is my favorite console of all time and ive been playing since the NES. Underrated Games I recommend for that generation (even on ps3) Enslaved an Odyssey to the West The Darkness/ 2 Singularity Amped 3 Brutal Legend F.e.a.r/ 2 Fracture Overlord/ 2 Mayhem The Hunted Yaiba ninja Caiden z

Actually doing this a lot myself these days, using ebay to buy ps1 and xbox 360 games and enjoying each one i buy, to me it feels better then just downloading them :D

Most awesome pickups dude!!! I have the majority of these games in my collection, and they are all well worth it!!!

Darkest of days. Not backwards compatible but going up in price!

I had a wave of Nostalgia when you pulled out all the superhero games. Damn thpse were awesome superhero games!

Ive been collecting 360 games since 2018 and especially more now as the final list of backwards compatible games were released. I still own 360 consoles along with Xbox Original consoles and I actually enjoy playing games on the 360. So many great games on that console. I play some on the Xbox One as well but I definitely love my 360. If u have the chance and if u don't own them grab Transformers War for Cybertron and Fall of Cybertron, 2 awesome games and NOT backwards compatible but still great. Everyone is going Gamecube and N64 right now, so go PS3 and 360. Happy Hunting!

I hope they put the right disc in that Hulk case. Funnily enough Radical made the Prototype games but before that the PS2 generation they did Incredible Hulk Ultimate Destruction

With the remake about to drop, I’m currently playing through Dead Space. I will keep the horror themed games with F.e.a.r. And Condemned:criminal origins for my next playthroughs.

Thanks for showing mk vs dc love 💯💯

Great pick ups. I still have an Xbox 360 so I can play alot of the games that arent supported on Series X. PS3 and Wii U as well for the same reasons.

Great Pickups I just got my copy of Spider-Man 3 on 360 Today… $38 Complete love collecting the classics from PS1 as well. Most games now I’m getting on OG Xbox since I’ve already had previously the PS2 Versions!

I was just in Dyersburg TN & found a used game shop. I scored Gemna Onimusha, Max Payne 1 & 2, Dead to Rights, Dragon Age Origins Ultimate edition (all the DLC), Yaiba Ninja Gaiden, & Uncharted 4 for under 60 bucks. If I go back I'm picking up a vita, ps3 motion controls, ps3 camera, & ps4 camera. Get in while the getting's good.

Just got a 360 a couple weeks ago & started off my collection with a bunch of Madden, WWE & Tony Hawk games. Getting a Wii soon & gonna get alot of games for it & Gamecube.

It wasnt that hard to get mortal kombat and DC together since they are both owned by warner

It’s really interesting how prices differ between the US and the UK 🇬🇧 most of the games you buy are £0.50-£1.50 (British Pound Sterling) here. This would equate to $0.25-$0.75 in US Dollars. Some more rarer titles might range up to $5 US Dollars.

When I saw max Payne 3 on sale I just had to get it. I loved it when I was younger.

Whenever you showed the back of assassins creed and I saw Naruto omg I got so excited haha

Bro, yes! I am so glad you mentioned how great Ubisoft’s Naruto games were. Their recreation of the leaf village has not been matched yet like AT ALL!

I just started collecting 360 games a few months ago, my biggest find was when I was in the Phillipines. I found 50 Cent Blood on the Sand for $10 lol.

That Hulk game is alright while it doesn't look like it stacks up to Ultimate Destruction, there's an innate fun in a Hulk sandbox game. Unfortunately the copy I got didn't have the Red Hulk DLC cuz I didn't know it worked like that, so good pick!

Is there a certain version of Assassin’s Creed worth $30 because on eBay all I see is they are selling for around $7?

Great video, one game I really wish I pulled the trigger on before it was made backwards compatible is 50 cent blood on the sand. Now it's price skyrocketed sadly. Recently I was able to buy NFS Most Wanted (2006 I believe) for the 360 for 15 bucks! That game is so much fun and one of my top racing games ever and I got it for an absolute steal

Matty, I’m curious if you’ve heard of Lukie Games or if you use them? I ordered a complete copy of Assassin’s Creed from them recently and it was around 8 dollars. Sometimes they have great prices and I have always had a good experience ordering from them. Just a thought! Love the videos!

Oh man the kingdom under fire games you were referring to are the first 2 on the original xbox and I remember back in the day those things were amazing almost like dynasty warriors met real time strategy highly recommended!!

It's so crazy how the xbox 360 still holds up in 2022. It's an amazing gaming system from its time till now. Got an order in myself to relive some memories 😌 #Xbox360AliveAndKicking📈

Me and my father love playing our xbox 360+. His favorite game is College Hoops 2K8. He also likes minecraft, which I play with him sometimes. I would also like to mention, the xbox 360, its probably one of the most epic consoles.

I recently brought bioshock 1 and 2. Also the Witcher 2 and fable 2 and a FIFA game. All so those games were dirt cheap, beside Witcher 2, and cost me less then 60 euros. I have been collecting Xbox 360 games for a couple months now and i have around 150 games. I am also collecting N64 games and have around 250 for that console. I love both my collection for those consoles

It might just be me but I find it kinda sad that people are holding on so tight to the old ways that they seek out “complete in box” 360 games, which means it has a manual about 4 pages long. I just feel like shouting out “it’s over, the days of CiB are dead”.

AC1 is still by far my favorite of the series. Also, I got that copy of Hulk for the exact same reason haha needed that Red Hulk

Just a heads up: The Death and Return of Superman on the snes and genesis is good. Be sure to mention it on your Superman video. Also, the Superman arcade game.

Hey Matty can you make a video about what to buy on the 3DS physical and eshop exclusives before the shop closes? ^^

I love this channel.

After fishing my 360 out of storage, I got Transformers Dark of the Moon and while its not plot relevant, its the closest thung we'll get to a Fall of Cybertron Sequel and it genuinely kicks ass.

I still have the first AC that came in tin cover and it still has the Altair figure in its original eggshell case 💯

MK vs DC Universe was a classic. It's in my collection to this day!!

I’m glad I bought bassically all these games for 360 as well I actually picked up Spider-Man 3 for 25$ at local game store I was so excited been stuck on it lately truely a great game

Seems like you paid too much

PS3/X360 games were a “final shape” of AAA games. Nothing has been added to this shape since then. Only graphics are getting better and open worlds are getting bigger.

I really like Singularity. I had pre-ordered and bought it for Xbox 360 when it first came out. I really wish they would make it backwards compatible.

I play bunch of 360 games on my Xbox series s and some of that generation on my ps3 as well. It was my favorite generation of gaming

Max Payne 3 is my favourite of the whole series, and one of my favourite games of all time. It’s even more dear to me now that James Mcaffrey has passed away. Max was actually based on his appearance this time out as well.

I own 3 different xbox 360s, one being modded so I can just download any 360 game convert and rewrite to a disc and simply play, but I own around 250 official 360 games.

Picking up 360 stuff is definitely better than getting ps3 games since a lot of the 360 games are playable on Xbox series x

The first Assassin's Creed game runs at 4k 60fps it's like a new game. Most of the Assassin's a Creed games have some kind of enhancements except for Syndicate and Black Flag. Xbox Series X best place to play these games.

I got Fable Anniversary in excellent condition with cover slip and dlc inserts for $25. I felt really lucky and I’m with you, this one is going to go up especially once we hear more about the playground rendition of Fable. Also, I recommend dead space 2 since the remake is coming out. I think that one will go up more than the original after the remake releases

I'm still buying these because 90% of that console's library has aged really well

The original Assassin's Creed manual is great. Yes it's in black and white, but it's framed as being written by the cast from outside the Animus.

Singularity is one of those games that I hope will get a second chance at life after the Microsoft/Activision.

Max Payne 3 was a blast, I didn't play until almost 10 years and i'm sad i missed out on multiplayer.

I actually just got another 360 cause my old one stopped working a couple years ago and the one I got came with over 78 games including the most popular and most known games in which i also started play fable

Since I got my Xbox One in 2018 I've been going out of my way to get as many backward compatibles games I can get my hands on. Of course I'm getting everything since some of the backward compatible titles are just shovel ware but I'm getting a good chunk of games I never played before.

Looking into starting a collection however I'm really gonna have to hustle, we don't have much option to buy my side of the world...

Singularity campaign was good and its multiplayer was good

Can you do a review of Superman Returns on the Xbox 360 please?

Me and my gf still play mortal kombat vs dc.. so fun!

I have a pretty decent collection of 360 games but many of them don't hold up that well when hooked up to a modern tv. On a 1080p monitor it's not too bad. Other than some gems luckily a good amount of these games were also released on pc which is the best place to play them imo.

These days they want to sell us a copy of a game with just the disc and book or at in the case. I love my older consoles despite having current gen consoles. Even from the PlayStation 1 and 2, they all came with manuals and books inside the case. Quality games that came out years ago is much appreciated.
