Bring Back 1 Vs. 100! Having a live game show on the X360 was one of the greatest moves Microsoft ever did in their history. Me and my friends always jumped online whenever they were doing a live game seeing if one of us could get picked to be a contestant to win Microsoft points. Had an absolute blast playing that. My friends still bring it up to this day.
This is kind of like the "99" games on Nintendo Switch, just without the achievements! ^^ It got Tetris 99, F-Zero 99, had Pacman 99 and "Mario 35" in the past, and a couple more I don'T know about off the top of my head! =D
If you've ever downloaded a delisted full game or delisted trial game in the past, you can go into your past downloads on the 360 and download them again. I just did that for Outrun, After Burner, and Double Dragon! Even though they are trials, it's cool to play them in person and see what they are like for myself. Thanks and great video!
hexic HD was the first game I ever played on 360 at my cousin's and when I saw an achievement unlock my brain exploded. the rest is history and I loved every second I had with my 360, and with no red ring at that!
Make sure to check out the final fire sales going on! Lots of things on sale Also grab any dlc, themes and gamerpics that you may want. Lots of which are free
Yeah, 100%. Don't overlook the current sale going on. Dozens of games in the $1 to $2 range. Including a lot of digital only games. Some Xbox exclusive, others 360/PS3 but Sony doesn't allow sales on PS3 anymore so this is the last time you'll be able to get a lot of these games for this price. A final round of deals is gonna be added today too!
great job on this, loved watching it. the 360 will always be one of the absolute best consoles experiences i ever had, it is what got me deep into truly exploring all sort of games and even the idea of collecting games. now i don't even collect anymore and haven't plugged in this baby in a while, but the memories with the 360 will always stand as some of the best i've had.
Great look back at the 360 era Coury! With just under 2 weeks to go there are a lot of 360 games on sale and Microsoft is supposed to do one last batch of sales today! Which at the time of posting this is the same day you uploaded the video.
I noticed this when going through my physical game collection to see what DLC to buy. Grabbed both the Crackdown games even though I already own them physically, just in case my discs ever stop working.
Since Microsoft is removing the store, I hope they don't mind the community creating a store of their own. However I feel that whatever server that gets created for the console would require that your console be softmodded.
I am french🇨🇵. Your first pronounciation of Carcassonne is the right one. It is a famous medieval city in France named after the victory against king Charlemagne. Dame Carcas (Queen of the city)ringing ("sonne") bells to celebrate the victory. She used a ploy : throwing fat pigs over the ramparts of the besieged city, giving the impression that the inhabitants were full of resources and making it seem that the siege would be long, which led to the withdrawal of Charlemagne.
A somber episode. Realizing that the 360 store is going away just rings true one clear message. Physical media is the future and the past. A mixture of digital and physical should always be an option for the consumer. Don't get rid of your collections, you'll most likely regret it one day. Physical media is so valuable since you can always keep it. I will miss the old days, but I also welcome what's to come. Here is to the future my friends.
What a beautiful trip down memory lane. You have no idea just how close the journey through the games and library matched up to my own, I remembered almost everything here and purchased many of the games after trying the demo on ‘Xbox live arcade Wednesday’s’. The only thing I felt you could have mentioned additionally, that you touched on, was when they broke their rule about the 50mb limit of games, so that portal could be put on the system as a live arcade game. At least that’s how I remember it happening. Thoroughly enjoyed this video all the way through, thank you for putting so much effort into making it so great. All the best.
For some of us the closing of the store hurts because an era is officially gone. It goes beyond gaming too. I had friends who aren’t around anymore that were there in the golden age of the 360. Family members are gone, I’m all grown up now, the days of being a kid have passed and it stings a little. We are thankful for the times we had but sad that we will never get that experience again
I don't see why Microsoft didn't wait until the 360s 20th anniversary to shut the store down, they could've made it an event of sorts to give the store a proper send off.
Awesome drive down memory road for me. Crazy how nostalgic xbla feels already, even as a 46 yr old gamer who's been playing since the 2600. Such a fun era of gaming experimentation. This certainly inspired me to fire up my own console and go for a ride. Thanks Coury 👍
Great trip down memory lane with the 360! I really like the quote at the end, it’s true nothing lasts forever and sometimes I think that’s okay! Awesome video :)
It's weird. I tried to buy Renegade OPS and Vanquish DLC but couldn't purchase them before. Only in recent months did I actually managed to buy and download them. I don't know what change to make things suddenly work again but that is a sign that this is the best and final time to buy what you can without any error codes.
Good times 😎👍 First game I downloaded was Shinobi Sega Arcade, then Gunstar Heroes. Daytona USA, AB Climax and VF5 Final Showdown are still awesome today. Nice one 👍
I never actually owned an Xbox of my own until getting a great deal on a One X in late 2017. My cousins had the OG Xbox and the 360, so I played a lot of them there. I was always extremely interested in the indie XBLA scene, and really excited to get a lot of this stuff backwards compatible on One X (and now Series X) when I got one. Especially Guardian Heroes HD, since I lost all my Saturn games long ago. The conversion work done on those Treasure games was incredible. I wish I had Bangaio too :( and I wish the same team could have done Silhouette Mirage, to translate the true Saturn version since all we ever got was the Working Designs PS1 version. I really think what 360 did for digital gaming and indie games is undersung. Even during the the One generation, they were still really pushing that part of their brand with stuff like Inside, Ori, Cuphead, Below etc, and a lot of cool stuff still comes my way on Game Pass to this day.
Xbox Live really felt so new and awesome back then. It's sad how badly online gaming has regressed all to prevent "toxicity" or whatever. Packing in a cheap headset and the majority of games having open mic in lobbies and during matches, with everyone hanging out and nonstop talking is just way more engaging than today's formats where you're lucky if a game even lets you talk to strangers. If only gaming journalists would've just used the mute button or took a break, rather than writing endless articles or literally calling local news stations...
@@gamecubeplayer Lol I actually remember getting a DS Lite playing Mario Kart DS online and thinking it just felt lifeless, since you couldn't even really interact with anyone. Really though, I think Microsoft had the right kind of idea, with the "Underground", "Family" and whatever gamertag matchmaking selections you picked. If they just let people opt in and paired people correctly they could probably make most people pretty happy... Unfortunately I don't think it was used that much and kind of a secondary feature or something.
[Try4ce] I didn't get a 360 until after the Xbox One was already out, despite having come close to buying one at launch and several other times until I settled on a PS3 for my HD console in 2008. So my digital 360 library is only maybe like 10 games, if that. We talked about having me do a little segment, but it would've been such a small part, we decided it felt more cohesive if it was just Coury's story to tell. I do really enjoy the 360 though despite "missing" it in its own era! The physical games are fun to collect thanks to how cheap they are, and it's interesting to grab a variety of backwards compatible and non backwards compatible games, as well as games I originally played on PS3 but are better on 360 (and likely even more so on Series X).
@@mylifeingaming Try4ce Hey brother! Thanks for the reply, and yea I understand why Coury fought this one alone. Lol I think I remember you stating something similar in your 7th Gen episode. I just got scared you guys were going to pull a game sack 😅 Maybe later this year you'll both give us a sad show about the Xbox 360 reaching it's retirement... Poor guy's getting old 😂😂😂
Great video. Contra was the first game I downloaded for my 360 also. It's pretty clear we have very similar tastes! Such a shame that some of these have been delisted and won't be available again.
They should of put that stuff on pc. These consoles are unreelable. Just bring back cd's. Can always get the cd from some person who bought to many copy's. Probably from a used store or action site like ebay. What's up with taking it down.
53:14 By the way you described Burnout Crash!, it's pretty obvious that Burnout Paradise is the only Burnout game you ever played, because Burnout Crash! is the Crash Mode from the Burnout games turned into its own game.
Omg marathon! First game I ever modded back in the 90s Edit: also… blades ui best ui Edit edit: update patches are not going away, neither are redownloading content you previously purchased or achievements… for now at least
Just finishing this video as the clock rolls past midnight on July 29th, sitting next to my 360 while it downloads the last few purchases I've made from the store for the last time. There were a few in this video like Marathon Durandal that I didn't have that I didn't know were on the 360, I remember playing Marathon 2 on an iMac like 20-something years ago in primary school and thought it was really cool. It's sad to see the 360 store go, but from what I've heard Microsoft will still allow downloads and patches to be installed for the foreseeable future, only the purchase functionality will be turned off. It's a shame but it's the best outcome of a store closure. They're handling it a lot better than Nintendo have with the Wii, Wii U and 3DS, where you can't even download your purchased content again if you need to format or switch to a new system.
As much as I hate seeing storefronts close down, I love these look back videos. Especially since I was a late comer to both the 360 and getting my consoles online in general. That always made me glad when digital games got disc releases, and the 360 Arcade fared much better on that front than Wii or even PS3. And now, a lot more of the 360 Arcade will survive officially thanks to these discs.
Highly recommend upgrading your Xbox360 controller to the newest version of the controller with the rising DPad if you haven't. Much better than any other iteration of the controller.
Man Turtles in Time Reshelled was such a colossal disappointment. I didn’t even try the demo, I just bought it since the SNES port is an all timer for me. Lesson learned!
3:28 I recently got a second hand Series S for my bedroom and re-downloaded and played Hexic - forgot how mindlessly fun it was. That, the old 360 version of Texas Hold Em & Geometry Wars :)
I adore HEAVY WEAPON. It may have been my very first Xbox Live purchase. I had always wished that PopCap made a sequel or two or three. I came back for a game in War Party or Boss Rush mode for years to come, even as recent as 2023.
I would've liked to buy more titles from the Arcade, but more often than not they were cheaper elsewhere, and that's before your money was devalued in the conversion to Microsoft points. I do wish I would've bought X-Men before it was delisted, though.
I enjoyed the Xbox 360 until it RROD'd on me.... Twice. It was the day that I bought Track & Field HD, and my brother was on his way over to play it. We used to play T&F a lot on the NES in the late 80s. It was so disappointing to have it happen a second time, and when we were just about to play a classic game. After that I just gave up on the entire 360, and stuck with then PS3, and haven't gone back to a Microsoft since, but I still do love the original Xbox, and play that often. Hopefully we'll get a PSN version like this someday. Hopefully the PS3/Vita stores don't close anytime soon (this won't age well, I know) ;) Oh! And Bomberman Ultra! was so great to play online. My brother and another good friend would all get together on PSN, each Friday, and play all night, while talking to each other. Fun times! -Matt
1:00:11 You actually purchased Forza Horizon 2 on the Xbox 360 at some point because only the Xbox One version of Forza Horizon 2 was a Games with Gold.
[Try4ce] We think you solved the mystery as to why Forza Horizon 2 isn't on MY Xbox 360. It was supposed to come with my E model, and yet I don't have it. So now we think I probably have the code to Coury.
when Dust:AET was first released on 360 i was skeptical about it... but then i saw that Pro Skater HD was releasing around the same time as it. Pro Skater HD in hindsight was a bit mid imo but i fell in love with Dust: An Elysian Tail almost immediately after watching a review of it over 12 years ago (wow)
Thanks, I think I spent like $35 (games that are under $3) during this video. I am like I wanted to play this one.... 360 store is still open as of now.... When I was collecting Games for Gold, I also had links to other countries and check then every month. Licensing issues mean a game sold/given away in the US could not be given away in some other countries, so they would substitute another game. I have like 5-10 other games from Games with Gold that were not given away in the US....
Sort-of related question. You (Coury) mentioned on a recent stream that you picked up one of those "legit looking" Chinese controllers on Ebay, which are a pretty good price (but almost definitely not OEM). Any chance you put some work in on that controller during your game capture for this video? Would love some feedback. I'm pretty much ready to buy since these are new and most used OEM on the market are pretty nasty.
I can't believe the great Doritos name has been relegated to whatever dog water game you could remember when there was DORITOS CRASH COURSE!!! DUDE WHAT???? IT HAD A SEQUEL, IS THAT NOT PROOF ENOUGH OF ITS GREATNESS!?
[Try4ce] I have one and enjoy it! Haven't managed to really integrate it into a video yet, but I'd like to. I think some clips recorded of it via RetroTINK 4K were in our RetroTINK 4K video.

I had the Slim since 2012...still no red ring. I still play a lot of Rock Band on it
My brothers and I played so much Hexic HD on our launch 360 back in 2005.
The music was a phenomenon
I completely forgot hexic existed until this video, brings back some good memories from when I first got my 360.

Do we have to bring a 360 itself online to get at the storefront for DLC and such? Or, can it all be done on PC?
@@rig85You need to turn your 360 on and have your payment settings set on another device from your Microsoft account.
I had no idea this was happening, surprised Nintendo didn't really do this for the 3DS and Vita stores.
@@devonwilliams5738the Vita store hasn’t close, and I don’t think Nintendo owns the PLAYSTATION Vita, so of course they wouldn’t give sales.

Xbox is considered the spiritual successor to the Sega Dreamcast. Much like SEGA, Microsoft will become third party outside PC.

they added a blade theme for the series console recently :)
Blades were awesome! Ive got one console sitting around with it.
The first full game download actually was Burnout Paradise on PS3.
Catan having screen tearing feels very much like that entire gen in a nutshell. Even a board game had issues!

I never actually owned an Xbox of my own until getting a great deal on a One X in late 2017. My cousins had the OG Xbox and the 360, so I played a lot of them there. I was always extremely interested in the indie XBLA scene, and really excited to get a lot of this stuff backwards compatible on One X (and now Series X) when I got one. Especially Guardian Heroes HD, since I lost all my Saturn games long ago. The conversion work done on those Treasure games was incredible. I wish I had Bangaio too :( and I wish the same team could have done Silhouette Mirage, to translate the true Saturn version since all we ever got was the Working Designs PS1 version.
I really think what 360 did for digital gaming and indie games is undersung. Even during the the One generation, they were still really pushing that part of their brand with stuff like Inside, Ori, Cuphead, Below etc, and a lot of cool stuff still comes my way on Game Pass to this day.

Packing in a cheap headset and the majority of games having open mic in lobbies and during matches, with everyone hanging out and nonstop talking is just way more engaging than today's formats where you're lucky if a game even lets you talk to strangers.
If only gaming journalists would've just used the mute button or took a break, rather than writing endless articles or literally calling local news stations...
imagine if mario kart had open mic:
i don't know how to pronounce your japanese name but did you really have to run into me with your star!?
@@gamecubeplayer Lol I actually remember getting a DS Lite playing Mario Kart DS online and thinking it just felt lifeless, since you couldn't even really interact with anyone.
Really though, I think Microsoft had the right kind of idea, with the "Underground", "Family" and whatever gamertag matchmaking selections you picked. If they just let people opt in and paired people correctly they could probably make most people pretty happy... Unfortunately I don't think it was used that much and kind of a secondary feature or something.
12:20 Peggle was released on iPhones back in the day and I can confirm it was a perfect fit. Sadly it was never updated for newer IOS
So many are still playing Uno. I may have to jump back in, those were good times!
Awesome Tribute Coury! I was assuming Try would be in this one but, still great none the less! The 360 is in my top 3 consoles of all time...
[Try4ce] I didn't get a 360 until after the Xbox One was already out, despite having come close to buying one at launch and several other times until I settled on a PS3 for my HD console in 2008. So my digital 360 library is only maybe like 10 games, if that. We talked about having me do a little segment, but it would've been such a small part, we decided it felt more cohesive if it was just Coury's story to tell. I do really enjoy the 360 though despite "missing" it in its own era! The physical games are fun to collect thanks to how cheap they are, and it's interesting to grab a variety of backwards compatible and non backwards compatible games, as well as games I originally played on PS3 but are better on 360 (and likely even more so on Series X).
@@mylifeingaming Try4ce Hey brother! Thanks for the reply, and yea I understand why Coury fought this one alone. Lol I think I remember you stating something similar in your 7th Gen episode. I just got scared you guys were going to pull a game sack 😅
Maybe later this year you'll both give us a sad show about the Xbox 360 reaching it's retirement... Poor guy's getting old 😂😂😂
Great video. Contra was the first game I downloaded for my 360 also. It's pretty clear we have very similar tastes! Such a shame that some of these have been delisted and won't be available again.
That was the best version of UNO ever to release on a console. Despite all the early camera shenanigans.
Damm red rings.
We sent are 360 like 3 or 4 times. Ended up getting a xbox 360 s. seems grate.
They should of put that stuff on pc.
These consoles are unreelable.
Just bring back cd's.
Can always get the cd from some person who bought to many copy's.
Probably from a used store or action site like ebay.
What's up with taking it down.
Amazing video. Cool to know we played the same Hydro thunder machine at Beamus!!
23:16 This is Not true. The PSP version on Dracula X Chronicles was released in 2007.
Anyone else still waiting for 16th July sales on Xbox 360 games store?
Me.
They are live.
@AfterBurnerTeirusu Was looking for this comment!
@@brandontalbort you may be disappointed...
@@OfficerFredPowell Oh, no updates on the sales yet? Or just underwhelming for what is there?
I really wish softmodding was feasible on the 360 for the sake of better preservation
53:14 By the way you described Burnout Crash!, it's pretty obvious that Burnout Paradise is the only Burnout game you ever played, because Burnout Crash! is the Crash Mode from the Burnout games turned into its own game.
Trials HD having wonky physics isn't something I've ever thought before
Even cold november rain
Omg marathon! First game I ever modded back in the 90s
Edit: also… blades ui best ui
Edit edit: update patches are not going away, neither are redownloading content you previously purchased or achievements… for now at least
Just finishing this video as the clock rolls past midnight on July 29th, sitting next to my 360 while it downloads the last few purchases I've made from the store for the last time. There were a few in this video like Marathon Durandal that I didn't have that I didn't know were on the 360, I remember playing Marathon 2 on an iMac like 20-something years ago in primary school and thought it was really cool.
It's sad to see the 360 store go, but from what I've heard Microsoft will still allow downloads and patches to be installed for the foreseeable future, only the purchase functionality will be turned off. It's a shame but it's the best outcome of a store closure. They're handling it a lot better than Nintendo have with the Wii, Wii U and 3DS, where you can't even download your purchased content again if you need to format or switch to a new system.
1:01:32 man that hits hard T.T
As much as I hate seeing storefronts close down, I love these look back videos. Especially since I was a late comer to both the 360 and getting my consoles online in general. That always made me glad when digital games got disc releases, and the 360 Arcade fared much better on that front than Wii or even PS3. And now, a lot more of the 360 Arcade will survive officially thanks to these discs.
Highly recommend upgrading your Xbox360 controller to the newest version of the controller with the rising DPad if you haven't. Much better than any other iteration of the controller.
Ikaruga is getting a spiritual sequel
thought y'all needed to know this little fact
41:29 - Pizong! P.S. We’re good friends with Dave Voyles too.
Man Turtles in Time Reshelled was such a colossal disappointment. I didn’t even try the demo, I just bought it since the SNES port is an all timer for me. Lesson learned!
3:28
I recently got a second hand Series S for my bedroom and re-downloaded and played Hexic - forgot how mindlessly fun it was.
That, the old 360 version of Texas Hold Em & Geometry Wars :)
I loved Black so much lol it was a great fps
i need to pick it up it is in gamepass via ea play but yeah..
I loved Doritos Crash Course
Great video, as always.
I adore HEAVY WEAPON. It may have been my very first Xbox Live purchase. I had always wished that PopCap made a sequel or two or three. I came back for a game in War Party or Boss Rush mode for years to come, even as recent as 2023.
I would've liked to buy more titles from the Arcade, but more often than not they were cheaper elsewhere, and that's before your money was devalued in the conversion to Microsoft points.
I do wish I would've bought X-Men before it was delisted, though.
I wish I bought xmen on the ps3 where 6P local coop is possible :)
When a digital store closes a free and open exchange takes its place 👍🏼
57:44 what's the name of that song?
I’m still playing Raskulls to this day lol!
Almost 20 years of history 😢, Xbox 360 always be in my heart ❤️
Strange, Conker didn't appear normally in the store. Just after I searched for it.
I had issues for years with pilonodal cysts, not fun! Thankfully sorted for good now!
I enjoyed the Xbox 360 until it RROD'd on me.... Twice. It was the day that I bought Track & Field HD, and my brother was on his way over to play it. We used to play T&F a lot on the NES in the late 80s. It was so disappointing to have it happen a second time, and when we were just about to play a classic game. After that I just gave up on the entire 360, and stuck with then PS3, and haven't gone back to a Microsoft since, but I still do love the original Xbox, and play that often.
Hopefully we'll get a PSN version like this someday. Hopefully the PS3/Vita stores don't close anytime soon (this won't age well, I know) ;) Oh! And Bomberman Ultra! was so great to play online. My brother and another good friend would all get together on PSN, each Friday, and play all night, while talking to each other. Fun times! -Matt
this video really makes me wish that i had a 360 during its heyday in the mid to late 2000s
Blades dash was best dash :)
Just watched a random video of sege and noticed that try had a booth there! I was there and I didn't notice! Disappointed in myself
1:00:11 You actually purchased Forza Horizon 2 on the Xbox 360 at some point because only the Xbox One version of Forza Horizon 2 was a Games with Gold.
[Try4ce] We think you solved the mystery as to why Forza Horizon 2 isn't on MY Xbox 360. It was supposed to come with my E model, and yet I don't have it. So now we think I probably have the code to Coury.
Damn we need Remember me on modern systems...
when Dust:AET was first released on 360 i was skeptical about it... but then i saw that Pro Skater HD was releasing around the same time as it.
Pro Skater HD in hindsight was a bit mid imo but i fell in love with Dust: An Elysian Tail almost immediately after watching a review of it over 12 years ago (wow)
I’d say if you can get one game that’s on the 360 I’d say get sonic the fighters. It’s cheap and a ton of fun.
Wow I gotta try a Zeboyd game sometime, I wanna play Cthulu saves the world!
Totally agree on Pac-Man Championship Edition (the first one); amazing game. The sequels got too busy.
i hope this version of UNO comes to PS4 & PS5 soon because its the best UNO game ever made
Lol I had a pilonidal cyst the size of a grapefruit in 2003. Dark times... dark times.
Beyond Good & Evil HD was certainly a lot better than Rayman 3 HD. That port was a MESS.
Also, Hard Corps: Uprising was an excellent Contra game.
Thanks, I think I spent like $35 (games that are under $3) during this video. I am like I wanted to play this one.... 360 store is still open as of now....
When I was collecting Games for Gold, I also had links to other countries and check then every month. Licensing issues mean a game sold/given away in the US could not be given away in some other countries, so they would substitute another game. I have like 5-10 other games from Games with Gold that were not given away in the US....
i got the only game that mattters Gaurdian heroes baby
Fighting Vipers also great
Radiant Silvergun if we're talking about legendary Saturn ports
The 360 store sale is supposed to be updated today.
I haven't noticed yet.
The prices online are different than price on console tho
Sort-of related question. You (Coury) mentioned on a recent stream that you picked up one of those "legit looking" Chinese controllers on Ebay, which are a pretty good price (but almost definitely not OEM). Any chance you put some work in on that controller during your game capture for this video? Would love some feedback. I'm pretty much ready to buy since these are new and most used OEM on the market are pretty nasty.
I can't believe the great Doritos name has been relegated to whatever dog water game you could remember when there was DORITOS CRASH COURSE!!! DUDE WHAT???? IT HAD A SEQUEL, IS THAT NOT PROOF ENOUGH OF ITS GREATNESS!?
Choplifter 2 is on the gameboy, i still have the poster that came in the box on my room in my parents house
Aegis Wing is one of my most played Xbox games haha. It's just simple fun.
I liked the "Honorable Mentions" montage at the end.
Is MLiG ever going to feature the Make Mhz HDMI for OG Xbox in the RGB series?
[Try4ce] I have one and enjoy it! Haven't managed to really integrate it into a video yet, but I'd like to. I think some clips recorded of it via RetroTINK 4K were in our RetroTINK 4K video.
35:28 Funny that you struggle so much with Virtual On, it's the only fighting game that I can play.
37:45 Burn it! Fastest I've ever deleted a game off a hard drive.
I remember Castlevania SOTN being a big deal when it came to the marketplace
I'm surprised at how many game I missed on XBLA because I got RRoD. It's put me off playing my Xbox for years even with a replaced unit.
I wish it was true that newer versions of Catan were actually enhanced - none of them are as good as this version on the 360.
What was it with forcing bilinear filtering on all these games? It looks horrible!
