Transitioning from the PS2 to the Xbox 360 was such a surreal experience. Final Fantasy XIII, Bioshock, Red Dead Redemption, Prince of Persia, Halo 3, Far Cry 3, Fallout 3, the Arkham games... It was one banger after another. The brand is gone now, but for a while, gaming on the Xbox was the greatest thing ever. I'm grateful to have been a part of that.
RIP Xbox 360 Marketplace (2005-2024) You will be missed after nearly 19 years. This shutdown truly marks the end of an era for when the Xbox brand was in its golden years before they went downhill with the Xbox One in 2013.
@@OWmyDragonBallzfor the backwards compatible ones yes this can be done, but not all of the 360 games are supported on One/Series consoles so many aren't there still. I have also ran into at least a few games so far that actually were cheaper on the 360 marketplace than the current Xbox store, while still being the same game playable on all 3-4 generations.
It’s almost criminal that they’re not just giving away themes and avatar clothes. I mean they created all this. It’s going to be going to vaporware soon. Would they rather it go up in the ether rather than someone enjoy it?
They don't care. Its been 20 years almost, its been 2 console generations since the 360 that came out in 2005. They expect/know that the majority have moved onto the Xbone or the Series S/X

@@WilliamSmith-ex9et It should be stated in the xbox arcade store contract, that if a publisher wants their game on the store, they must approve that Microsoft has the right to price drop all games and DLC, 5 month before the store closes.
@@KongGig not talking about that necessarily-for example: like with avatar outfits-those are ms own creation - no reason they can’t give away a halo outfit; they own the ip and made the outfit.
The 'good reason' they didn't just put everything at $5 is because pricing is up to publishers. Hopefully more of them will allow heavy discounting thru the store.
It should be stated in the xbox arcade store contract, that if a publisher wants their game on the store, they must approve that Microsoft has the right to price drop all games and DLC, atleast 5 month before the store closes.
It's not just the publisher, but alot of the 360 games are backwards compatible on One/Series like Mirrors Edge. It should be noted that only the 360 Marketplace is shutting down. Games like Mirrors Edge, Dead Space trilogy, etc. will still be purchaseable on One/Series. Long story short, prioritize games that are only available on 360.
@@leburn98 And according to Microsoft, you can still download those games to a 360 after the shutdown. You just have to purchase them from a newer Xbox or their website.
I remember those days... frustrating that you had to spend $5 buying more points because you didnt have 50 Microsoft Points to get that game/DLC you wanted to play with your boys.
I remember playing the demo for Just Cause 2 all the time when I was younger, as well as grinding Castle Crashers with my brother. I’m actually playing Castle Crashers Remastered right now. It’s crazy that the very thing I used to always use is actually closing now.
Man I remember playing the Just Cause 2 demo a ton before I ended up going to a used video game store and looking for a copy of it. I remember there was a glitch you could do to have unlimited time with that demo, you just had to change the opacity of the hud so the timer wasn't covering your screen the whole time
Transitioning from a wii to an xbox 360 back in 2012 or 2013 was absolutely breathtaking. I've had so many great memories with my 360, halo 3, the destiny beta, halo reach, etc. So many memories, especially with halo, halo 3 and reach were my most played 360 games back then.

Golden age of gaming. This was before pay to play and DLC etc. ruined everything. This was back when game developers were still motivated by making a great game and not by money. Back when producers didn’t (always) force games to be created too quickly. Gaming today is nothing but a business. And it’s a dying business.
"Golden age" was whatever age you grew up in. It had way more great games than any era after it but it was the start of the decline, heralded by horse armor for Oblivion.
I am one of the biggest fans of the 360 and it's wonderful to see people like you keeping a focus on it! One question I have for the older ones is the disk drives - have you experienced brand new perfect discs being scratched by the games just normally running without the system being moved at all? I have, the older white systems laying flat during operation it does at times.....are there certain drives that do this? Is it an indication of the laser working harder and on it's way out?

I ended uo buying a bigger hard drive for it because of the space
Microsoft shouldn't be doing this. This console is so many people's gateway to console gaming and so many peoples final console. This gem should be preserved for as long as possible.
I normally play the games on Xbox 360 manually by inserting the disk I don't use the marketplace on it I play the games straight from actual store I just had it manually I was about 5 months old after this console release in 2005 I can't believe the Xbox 360 is almost 20 years old im the same age as the Xbox 360 I've had Xbox 360 when I was 14.

For people buying season passes. Make sure that if you do buy them, that you have the game ready. Otherwise you just paid for a code not content. As soon as you buy the season passes, play the game then start downloading the content from within the game itself.

*Does anyone know if Backwards Compatible Games' Add-Ons will still be able to be purchased?* I read that Backwards Compatible Games can still be purchased, but I don't know if this applies to the game's add-ons.
no dont worry, in the end "only" 200 approx of the "arcade" games will disappear after July2024 an only a part of them are really worth for one's taste
My favorites are Bloody Good Time, Charlie Murder, Battleblock Theater, Fez, Super Meat Boy, Spelunky, Nights Into Dreams (which has a couple older physical releases, none of which are the HD remaster, and only 1 is English), and Dungeon Defenders. Girl Fight and Monkey Island were okay. Nothing spectacular but fun enough. Otherwise I always wanted to try The Dishwasher: Vampire Smile, The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai, Naughty Bear: Panic in Paradise, Small Arms, Blade Kitten, and Bastion (though I'd prefer a physical release, and PS4 has that). Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons also got a physical release on Xbox One, and used to be a digital only game. So that's awesome it got a physical release to save it from digital obscurity, cuz that's a great game as well. Part of me wants to grab them, but the other part of me reminds me I've had to re-purchase a few items that got "lost" from my purchase history. And I've had issues with re-downloading items that Xbox removed from the store before. Like Mafia II was a free game with Gold, got it. Then they removed it and when I went to redownload it, it couldn't because the store page didn't exist. Even from my purchase history page, it couldn't find a way to download the game. Later they re-added it and I was able to download it, but this makes me skeptical of how well the re-downloading feature will work if they remove the store, even if Microsoft says it will work. I've experienced different stories.
I used to have the Xbox 360 Arcade Console, and I didn't have the Wifi adapter. I had an Ethernet Cord plugged in (It fried on me 2 years later) Around November 2010, my dad bought me the Xbox 360 Slim as an early Christmas present, and it still works for me today 😊. I've been buying themes and DLC for my games (for example: I recently bought all the DLC and theme for BulletWitch) I'm going to miss the Xbox 360 Marketplace when it's gone 😢.

@@jrob0021 But, do we know for sure if physical original Xbox games who are backward compatible on the 360 ( but not on the One ) will still be able to run on 360 after the servers shuts down ?

planning to try to revive my xbox 360 to play and buy stuff for my avatar, sad to see my favorite console go down but im sure the modding community will absolutely try to revive it
USB is nice, but unless something changed, being limited to 32GB is not a nice way to waste a large ssd in a USB case. Now if they would allow transferring game installs to any 360 console. They better keep compatibility upgrades available.
@@piotrmbukowski You can go up that high, but just try doing that if your official proprietary system drive fails. It will require you to make a system drive with a max of 32GB for game saves and the like. It is trying to treat it as a official memory module at that point. My Fat 360 will format storage that is USB connected above that 32GB limit. I have a slim as well. If the onboard flash is officially intact then it will not have a low limit on extra drive size. So at the minimum a person will need a memory module, or an official drive.
Mass Effect 3 multiplayer on 360 has a lot of people still playing. There is a mandatory update and content downloads that must happen before you can find a lobby with anyone... will be a sad day without the slow trickle of new players or returning players who are trying to reinstall later on. I wonder how this will work for back compat 360 games for DLC and title updates, as you still have to buy/DL through the BC dash.
I got an Xbox 360 last year for this very reason. I got it so that I could get the Sonic 06 DLC before it was too late, and I'm glad I did, because even with the game's lack of quality, there was still some unique fun to be had with the DLC. I also grabbed the Fancy Pants Adventures from the XBLA, which was nice because it stands out from the Fancy Pants Flash games. Other than that, I got a few backwards-compatible games.
Was disappointed to find the store is only now shutting down... heard it was shutting down months ago, but that was likely the marketplace. Going to try and buy some DLCs and avatar stuff since that's about all I can afford now :(
Anyone here still playing 360? Also let me know the date you're watching this - it'll be interesting to come back to this video in 5+ years.

They should do a massive sale and watch how they make money off it all and finally enable it to be able to play your digital 360 games via PC app and on consoles. I ended uo buying a bigger hard drive for it because of the space
Microsoft shouldn't be doing this. This console is so many people's gateway to console gaming and so many peoples final console. This gem should be preserved for as long as possible.
20 years is not long enough for you?
I normally play the games on Xbox 360 manually by inserting the disk I don't use the marketplace on it I play the games straight from actual store I just had it manually I was about 5 months old after this console release in 2005 I can't believe the Xbox 360 is almost 20 years old im the same age as the Xbox 360 I've had Xbox 360 when I was 14.
I remember getting a set of chaos emeralds as a reward from one of the sonic games, good times.
This is from the Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 1 avatar marketplace store.
It's nice to see people remembering the Xbox Avatar items.
I just got an Xbox 360 Kinect but have an older TV from 2002. What adaptor do I need to convert HDMI to RCA? Thanks.
What I'd LOVE to see is the expansion content for Forza Horizon 1-3 come back to purchase.
never going to happen all those cars and tracks are licensed and licenses expire
If your 360 is modded, you can get basically all the DLC for any game that exists - provided you know where to look.
Does this mean even if I get an xbox one to play rocksmith, I wont be able to get the DLC songs?
My Xbox 360 got shut down long time ago, but it went turned an error. I don’t know what was wrong with it. I need help before it reaches by July
If it was a pre-Falcon xbox360 model maybe is dead. only the slims (S and E) proved to be reliable.. and maybe the Jasper ones but never tried :)
@@micheleraurorhi2021 so the only way to finish with the Xbox 360 I had to get S or E OK like I wanna know it will work because I took the Repair Shop and they just checked on the screen and it looks fine but now I can’t do that in my home. Do you think I do you think need a Boost, Wi-Fi or no I saw Amazon. I thought it might helped.
Jasper models are great I’ve got one since 2009 still use it regularly
Flash drives aren't very reliable, I'd recommend using a SSD or Hard Drive for your digital games.
Great video Jacob!
Avatar Marketplace has two sections
● Lifestyle Marketplace
● Games Marketplace (Outfits from games etc)
I had the Xbox 360 Elite and bought the OG Wifi Adapter with 1 antenna
In my MW3 Xbox 360 I have 500GB internal HDD
2TB External HDD
Both Official Xbox branded flashdrives by SanDisk 8GB and 16GB
Had my xbox 360 arcade since late 2005 i was 2 years old when my aunt gave me it and halo 2, i played it every day 18 plus hours a day, i recently bought a 1 tb harddrive 4 years ago, and downloaded nearly 300 games and dlcs
300 games DANG
I just made MS aware of a bug in the marketplace that won't let you purchase certain titles and sale pricing not being applied to certain games. Hopefully it's fixed before the shutdown.
If you have The game Test Drive Unlimited 2 on Xbox 360 the DLC is still available until the store closing
Can't even update payment info on Xbox just comes up with error code and on the Xbox series x when I try to buy something a green box is above the purchase but I can't click on it
I wish I still had my old 360. Now I have an Xbox one, ps2, ps4, ps5, psp and Nintendo Switch. Today is 05-15-2024
Is the psp any good?
i have over 60000 points and accidentally removed my profile or deleted it how can i get it back? cant seem to find vids on it
The one thing i miss about the 360 era is the Xbox Indies, I've bought so many of those joints for like a dollar or two. 👍🏿👍🏿
Man I can't play castleminer z on my Xbox anymore smh
@@SupremeOraclemy 360 has red ring of death, can’t even buy indie games😔😔😔sad asf
@@SupremeOracle It's on steam if you really want to play it again
Piracy winning as always
@@SupremeOracle if you go to account and then download history you can redownload it. Just makes sure its the one that doesnt say "trial" you want the one that says "indie game"
Remember when you have to watch a trailer for an upcoming movie and after that they give you free stuff for the avatar?
Time for RGH3
What's that?
Hacks
A chip to unlock modificatons like mod menus and free games
You can backup the games on your hard drive to a flash drive after the store closes right? Don't wanna spend the money on a big flash drive right now when I'm trying to save for games
I made only 1 backup of my games (150) splitted in two 360s because the game wont be lost anyway.. you'll be able to re-download after july your legit games :)
I just go with a couple of xbox 360, 120gb hardrives^^ cost me 5 bucks each 😀
And later on i just make an copy.
@@micheleraurorhi2021 well I’ve heard people say if your 360 HDD fails you can lose everything on it potentially
@@KongGig you backed up everything you have on 2 separate Hdd’s?
After the store shut down, I can still download games that I bought, is it?
yes
@@name-ni3jcah so is just for buying new things?
@@lussor1 The store loses its functionality. There is an official FAQ that states it is just purchases that are affected. Everythig else will remain intact (or that's what they claim).
how can we get it trending so microsft reverses the shutdown like sony did with the ps3
It wont They don't care its been almost 20 years. All it does is prevent NEW purchases in the store, everything you already own you still have access to
@@lutherheggs451 yes but many people don seem to get this
I still use my 360 for Netflix on my bedroom tv, I hope the Netflix app will still work after they shut down the marketplace.
I guess NO.. they say all the apps (xbox film, DailyMotion ,..) will stop
Problem is you can't preview the themes. :/
All I really need is full access to their library when that long time comes for me to want to play them, especially anything the PS3 doesnt have already
torrent collections.
This is why you need a RGH or JTAG console in 2024.. copy disc data and you can play from the hard drive.
360 days are DONE🥲
Far from it
This is like going through a photo album.
This will be the least liked comment
@FunnyOskarrI hope it is because it’s a like beggar
Can you like stop being trying to be getting attention by making really bad challenges only to get likes, these won't get you nothing anyway, no popularity, nothing. Cope with that. 😂
it will be *like beggar*
Madting sadting
Will see about that. Time ⏲️ ⏳️ will tell 😅 spoiler it has 49 likes 😂
Why is Microsoft doing this? Especially the avatar shop, that has a bug in the original avatar editor. Doesn’t mean it has to be shut down though.
I tried to purchase a game on sale but the payment screen does not load....
My xbox 360 avatar and banner has turned grey and wont allow me to altar or edit it.. what happened?
I can't buy anything from this store. Wont let me add a payment method or even buy anything from pc. Cant do it.
Do you have anymore of those wifi extenders that you have installed on the back of your 360? Or do you know where I could get one?
Suggestions how to fix/save a xbox 360 slim 320G hard drive that says it overheated? Console wont run unless I remove the hard drive. HELP!
Hi, what is overheated the console or hdd? if the hdd I suggest replace it
@@micheleraurorhi2021 my console will not start up with the hdd in place. I could just replace it if there is absolutely no possible way to repair it. Are you saying theres no way to recover anything from it either?
Im not able to log into my xbox account on my 360. Works on my series x and my phone when i sign in but the 360 it just doesnt let me in. Im trying to get left 4 dead 2.
They shouldn't take it down yet
Man that 360 you have brings back so many memories. I had the same fat white one with the dual band WiFi adapter. Except I had mine since 2007, right before they put hdmi in all models.
Please do a video on 360 fan noise reduction / best replacement internal, i fan still have both of my 360s elite and arcade. The noise is unbearable please help.
I’m absolutely pissed that Bad Company 1 & 2 have been delisted. They’re were on GamePass and I had no idea they were gunna be removed.
I can never buy them digitally again now. Absolutely fuming.
For people buying season passes. Make sure that if you do buy them, that you have the game ready. Otherwise you just paid for a code not content. As soon as you buy the season passes, play the game then start downloading the content from within the game itself. Games that have problems with season passes are
Assassins creed 3
Far cry 4
Rabbid invasions
Somehow the ubisoft servers lag out on these specific games. Games that didn’t have any problems with season passes are
Watch dogs
Assassins creed black flag
The evil within
It’s been an honor to help out anyone that still cared about this system. Hopefully this still helps
Thanks for the video. I just wanted to mention that a bit of the Xbox Live Indie Games have not been preserved yet, and it seems they can't be re-downloaded. If anyone has any please put them on a flash drive and get in touch with the Video Game Preservation Collective
*Does anyone know if Backwards Compatible Games' Add-Ons will still be able to be purchased?*
I read that Backwards Compatible Games can still be purchased, but I don't know if this applies to the game's add-ons.
Anything that is currently on the Microsoft store will still be able to be purchased. If the DLC is not on it, you'll have to buy it sometime soon.
So, the console with everything from the shop will cost fortune in near future? What to buy if we still can tho?
no dont worry, in the end "only" 200 approx of the "arcade" games will disappear after July2024 an only a part of them are really worth for one's taste
My favorites are Bloody Good Time, Charlie Murder, Battleblock Theater, Fez, Super Meat Boy, Spelunky, Nights Into Dreams (which has a couple older physical releases, none of which are the HD remaster, and only 1 is English), and Dungeon Defenders. Girl Fight and Monkey Island were okay. Nothing spectacular but fun enough. Otherwise I always wanted to try The Dishwasher: Vampire Smile, The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai, Naughty Bear: Panic in Paradise, Small Arms, Blade Kitten, and Bastion (though I'd prefer a physical release, and PS4 has that). Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons also got a physical release on Xbox One, and used to be a digital only game. So that's awesome it got a physical release to save it from digital obscurity, cuz that's a great game as well.
Part of me wants to grab them, but the other part of me reminds me I've had to re-purchase a few items that got "lost" from my purchase history. And I've had issues with re-downloading items that Xbox removed from the store before. Like Mafia II was a free game with Gold, got it. Then they removed it and when I went to redownload it, it couldn't because the store page didn't exist. Even from my purchase history page, it couldn't find a way to download the game. Later they re-added it and I was able to download it, but this makes me skeptical of how well the re-downloading feature will work if they remove the store, even if Microsoft says it will work. I've experienced different stories.
I used to have the Xbox 360 Arcade Console, and I didn't have the Wifi adapter. I had an Ethernet Cord plugged in (It fried on me 2 years later)
Around November 2010, my dad bought me the Xbox 360 Slim as an early Christmas present, and it still works for me today 😊.
I've been buying themes and DLC for my games (for example: I recently bought all the DLC and theme for BulletWitch)
I'm going to miss the Xbox 360 Marketplace when it's gone 😢.
Foes them removing thr xbox marketplace mean that you will no longer be able to play any multiplayer games that you have already brought?
no, just means you cant buy any games more new games
My 360 slim has a broken internal storage and can’t update, any way to fix it before this stuff is gone?
I'd say get a new hard drive and/or a flash drive
how can i buy the x box 360 live gold, in europe(croatia), i wanna play the old Cod s multiplayer
Bro I need your help I have and Xbox and there isn’t the browse games to download games how can I get it back
Pissed off that I can't buy anything on my end and the store isn't closed yet technically it won't let me.
Can you contact Microsoft to fix the issue
Get Aegis Wing, it's a free arcade game that was made by three Microsoft interns over a summer and it slaps for what it is.
I still play my 360 from time to time. I’m curious to see if your still able to download digital Xbox 360 titles to an Xbox 360 console. that were bought on something like a series s.
You actually can
yep you can until July2024 but if you live in EU(like me) only thru the dashboard console-store I think
Yep you can, bought quite a few 360 and og Xbox titles on my Xbox one, and can download them on to my 360
@@Salvatore-xs I know about that too. I do that as well. I’m just curious if we’ll be able to continue to do that after the 360 store closes.
Is avatar store gone as well as I just got a Xbox 360 for nostalgia don't want to buy games but is avatar available still
If you have a hard copy would you still be able to update the game after the servers are down? or would you have to play it with some bugs?
As far as i know you can like forza motorsport 3 and 4 if you buy hard copies with the 2 disc one dlc and one that plays the game you'll be ok other games i dont know
@@juwanhowardhll8019 thanks man was just wondering since I been buying hard copies of 360 games last couple months, I was just hoping once I put them in I'd be able to play them when I come back from vacation
yes on Microsoft site(I suggest everyone to check) its written that the games will be update-able after July
Most of the updates are for multiplayer.
@@Salvatore-xs oh ok good to know hopefully it won't be anything campaign based updates.
Can you take the usb key with the downloaded games and use it in another console?
Yes but you need to log in your profile and do a License Transfer on the new console for them to appear and be playable
@@CJG4L interesting
Are they also shutting down the backwards compatible games or just on the 360 store?
The backwards compatible games should still be good to go on the xbox one and series x/s
@@jrob0021 But, do we know for sure if physical original Xbox games who are backward compatible on the 360 ( but not on the One ) will still be able to run on 360 after the servers shuts down ? They don't need to access some kind of servers for the backward compatibility to work on the 360, do they ? 🤔
@@jrob0021 I correct you: after July closing date 360s owners can buy a 360 game in the XboxOne store and playing it even in a 360 console:)
@@williambrulip512 No, you don't need to fetch any data from Microsoft when playing OG xbox games on a 360, just the latest firmware.
"We are sorry the title isnt available in your region" Thanks xbox I cant even play deathspank before shutdown..
planning to try to revive my xbox 360 to play and buy stuff for my avatar, sad to see my favorite console go down but im sure the modding community will absolutely try to revive it
USB is nice, but unless something changed, being limited to 32GB is not a nice way to waste a large ssd in a USB case. Now if they would allow transferring game installs to any 360 console. They better keep compatibility upgrades available.
2 TB is the limit now.
You won't really benefit from SSD.
@@piotrmbukowski You can go up that high, but just try doing that if your official proprietary system drive fails. It will require you to make a system drive with a max of 32GB for game saves and the like. It is trying to treat it as a official memory module at that point. My Fat 360 will format storage that is USB connected above that 32GB limit. I have a slim as well. If the onboard flash is officially intact then it will not have a low limit on extra drive size. So at the minimum a person will need a memory module, or an official drive.
It'll shut down on July 29, right?
Mass Effect 3 multiplayer on 360 has a lot of people still playing. There is a mandatory update and content downloads that must happen before you can find a lobby with anyone... will be a sad day without the slow trickle of new players or returning players who are trying to reinstall later on. I wonder how this will work for back compat 360 games for DLC and title updates, as you still have to buy/DL through the BC dash.
Can you share the PDF list so we can get a better look at it?
I got an Xbox 360 last year for this very reason. I got it so that I could get the Sonic 06 DLC before it was too late, and I'm glad I did, because even with the game's lack of quality, there was still some unique fun to be had with the DLC. I also grabbed the Fancy Pants Adventures from the XBLA, which was nice because it stands out from the Fancy Pants Flash games. Other than that, I got a few backwards-compatible games.
Which ones are worth buying sir?
Was disappointed to find the store is only now shutting down... heard it was shutting down months ago, but that was likely the marketplace. Going to try and buy some DLCs and avatar stuff since that's about all I can afford now :(
Can you post that google docs list with the digital only titles?
Wont let me download MW3, anyone else have this issue? I can only download the demo, even if I go into download history
