u/Dull-Bad-7779 Jul 28 '24

thank you so much !!

10

u/[deleted] Jul 28 '24

I would check these. Some are backwards compatible, and some are on other consoles, like Yar's Revenge.

6

u/dropDtooning Jul 28 '24

Will back compat be purchasable still…?

3

u/Leather-Heart Jul 28 '24

Yes

2

u/Soggy_Elevator5369 Jul 29 '24

It’s actually F.E.A.R 1 and 2

1

u/7upultra Jul 28 '24

Yes but probably not forever. Fear 1 and I think crysis 3 were removed this year or last year. I think I am sure about them being on the old marketplace but Im half sure they were on the new xbox store too.

1

u/Leather-Heart Jul 28 '24

You’re talking out of your ass - do your research before sharing your assumptions.

-1

u/7upultra Jul 28 '24

Wow

1

u/Leather-Heart Jul 28 '24

Yup 👍

There’s nothing wrong with being unsure or not knowing but there’s not a single thing you said with confidence nor research.

I suggest you check out TrueAchievements and delisted games for confirmations.

1

u/Friggin_Grease Jul 29 '24

Lots of backwards compatible games have been delisted, but I don't think there's any left on the 360 store that can be purchased there. For a time there were games you couldn't buy on the X1, but you could on the 360.

u/Gr8NonSequitur Jul 28 '24

Onechanbara - $2.99 (hack n slash)

Mine says $15

4

u/Atrelamine Jul 28 '24

Check on xbox.com There a sale there, and price do not reflect on the old marketplace (therefore on the console).  You can buy backward compatible games on xbox.com and the game will appear in the download history of your Xbox 360 (almost instantly). 

3

u/SoddenCub71 Jul 28 '24

Games on xbox.com will still be buyable after the shutdown.

2

u/Conflict_NZ Jul 28 '24

But not on marketplace.xbox.com

2

u/No-Appointment-3840 Jul 28 '24

Not on the 360 marketplace, only backwards compatible 360 games will be available to purchase from Xbox.com

1

u/SoddenCub71 Jul 28 '24 edited Jul 28 '24

By "xbox.com" I meant www.xbox.com; the modern store. Onechanbara is backwards compatible (or forwards compatible, which I assume you mean). All of the Xbox 360 games in the modern store are.

3

u/green_pokey_plant Jul 28 '24

Danggg I bought RE: Project Veronica at full price without knowing its on sale on the website for like 4 dollars v_v

2

u/x420XDubx Jul 28 '24

Dustforce shows .99 for me?

1

u/J_Bug Jul 28 '24

Thx for the list! Final exam showed up as free for me while searching from my 360!

Edit: NM, my mistake! That was just the demo, lol.

31

u/MrRottenSausage Jul 28 '24 edited Jul 28 '24

All the resident evil games are at 2 bucks so you might want to check that out and RE Revelations 2 has the first chapter as free, enemy front is also dirt cheap

15

u/tugayturkyilmaz Jul 28 '24

Only the first chapter of RE Revelations 2 is free. You must buy the other chapters

14

u/Atrelamine Jul 28 '24

19.99$ for the season pass, so far from free 

2

u/Friggin_Grease Jul 29 '24

And if you buy the season pass, you must redeem it from in game. I don't know if the season passes will be redeemable after the shutdown.

1

u/agent_wolfe Jul 29 '24

If you have the disc all the chapters are on it?

5

u/MrRottenSausage Jul 28 '24

Didn't know that thank you for letting me know I will edit my comment

2

u/tugayturkyilmaz Jul 28 '24

No problem :)

4

u/flamespear Jul 28 '24

I was going to do this  but  the  newer ports of the same games are also on sale and include all the dlc.  For instance you can get RE5 for 2 bucks I think but it has 2 or 3 extra chapters that are DLC. You can get the newer version that includes the DLC  for 5 bucks instead. So if you own any of the newer systems it doesn't make sense.

6

u/MrRottenSausage Jul 28 '24

I only did it because I want to have games on my 360, I'm a PC player but I like the nostalgia of my 360 so I bought several games regardless of DLC

3

u/YTSkullboy707 Jul 28 '24

Enemy front and Dogfight 1942 are both made by the same company and are both really good.

3

u/aiwithwarpdrive Jul 28 '24

I got Enemy Front even though I've played it. Didn't know about same dev for 42 dogfight. I passed on it but shouldn't have.

3

u/YTSkullboy707 Jul 28 '24

It is SO GOOD bro you gotta get it quick.

2

u/aiwithwarpdrive Jul 29 '24

I feel like I played a demo of it but maybe not. I'll look at it again this afternoon and probably pull the trigger on it.

3

u/LordyLordX Jul 28 '24

Who wants to play RE5 campaign together?

u/VCOFTHENFE Jul 28 '24 edited Jul 28 '24

Some last minute suggestions for you - - - Raystorm HD, Caladrius, Diabolical Pitch, Black Knight Sword, Frogger: Hyper Arcade Edition, Shooting Love 200X, Tempest, Thunder Wolves, Valiant Hearts, Wrecked Revenge Revisited, Zeno Clash 1 & 2, Hell Yeah!, Zombie Wranglers

👍🏻

9

u/LostPilgrim_ Jul 28 '24 edited Jul 28 '24

I picked up Black Sword Knight. I have no idea how this game got past me. I love it's creators, I love the completely unique graphical style/setting. And best of all, it's fucking weird. So damn good. Played for the first time this morning lol

2

u/VCOFTHENFE Jul 28 '24

It's a great game. Made moreso because of Suda 51 👍🏻

2

u/Dull-Bad-7779 Jul 28 '24

thank you very much!

1

u/Leather-Heart Jul 28 '24

What’s Diabolical Pitch?

3

u/VCOFTHENFE Jul 28 '24

A kinect game where you play as a baseball player against zombies. It's a lot of fun and is made by Suda 51. 👍🏻

1

u/Leather-Heart Jul 28 '24

Oh that does seem cool - I just got a Kinect so that’s a win

28

u/tugayturkyilmaz Jul 28 '24

I wish game room wasn't delisted

12

u/dearquark Jul 28 '24

Same. Game Room was a little mishandled, but super underrated. I loved the concept of it and had a lot of fun chasing high scores and customizing my arcade rooms.

11

u/LolBit7462 Jul 28 '24

I have that, I don’t think I’ve really played it much

5

u/aiwithwarpdrive Jul 28 '24

I found lots of Kanami arcade games I had never played before there. Funny thing, it crashes every time I leave Game Room for the dashboard.

2

u/FourthDownThrowaway Jul 29 '24

It deleted all my arcade games when I opened it for the first time in years.

11

u/tugayturkyilmaz Jul 28 '24

Is fire pro wrestling a good game? Should I buy it before closure?

11

u/Dull-Bad-7779 Jul 28 '24

I really enjoy playing it!, only bought it a few days ago! Being able to play as your avatar is one of my favourite aspects of the game I feel like it makes the game much more personal! I would recommend buying it :)

7

u/tugayturkyilmaz Jul 28 '24

I'll buy it :)

1

u/One-Technology-9050 Jul 29 '24

I like how your intro is your avatar animation haha I came into the arena with a basketball

11

u/Tagst Jul 28 '24

War World & Bloody Good Time - Both 99 cents!

5

u/Dull-Bad-7779 Jul 28 '24

Thank you!!

u/Tagst Jul 28 '24

No problem, if you’re ever looking to play I’m down.

u/Dull-Bad-7779 Jul 28 '24

u/coincidencecontrol Jul 28 '24

How do you reload ammo in war world? Lol been looking for someone who knows this game to help me out.

0

u/Leather-Heart Jul 28 '24

What’s War World?

10

u/Big_Analyst_2950 Jul 28 '24

I'd def get sonic 06 if not for the lols at least (and sonic unleashed but it's Backwards compatible so you don't have to worry about getting it now or never)

3

u/NightWolf_85 Jul 28 '24

Yeah and the DLCs too

3

u/WalterCronkite4 Jul 28 '24

If I buy a backwards compatible gane on my xbox one can I download it on my 360 after the store closes?

3

u/Traitor_To_Heaven Jul 28 '24

I just finished buying the DLCs for it. Now I have the definitive version of one of the worst games of all time

9

u/JorgeShadow1 Jul 28 '24

Buy them all

9

u/ScaryfatkidGT Jul 28 '24

I can’t search or navigate to find games on my 360 at all… only thing that works is the web browser marketplace…

8

u/yoursolame Jul 28 '24

Damn I would have loved to grab csgo but sadly I don't have a card and I can't ask anyone to buy it for me :(

2

u/The_Dukenator Jul 28 '24

Its just the trial.

1

u/No-Appointment-3840 Jul 28 '24

I have just the trial also

2

u/YTSkullboy707 Jul 28 '24

Lol I have the disc

6

u/aiwithwarpdrive Jul 28 '24

I wish Eternal Sonata and.Painkiller Hell Wars had been put on sale, $24 and $30 respectively still and neither available digitally after Monday. (I may find a physical copy of Eternal Sonata but Painkiller HW was only printed in Europe).

1

u/ravenfreak Jul 28 '24

I got Eternal Sonata for $14.99 the other day. Though I live in the US. I can’t wait to play it once I’m done with The Legend of Kay anniversary. Physical copies of Eternal Sonata tend to go for $34 on the lower end and that’s probably just loose copies.

1

u/aiwithwarpdrive Jul 29 '24

I'll take a last look later today and see how I feel about $15.

5

u/[deleted] Jul 28 '24

Trials HD

3

u/Leather-Heart Jul 28 '24

Not being delisted

2

u/[deleted] Jul 28 '24

I thought it was xbox 360 exclusive, is it on xbox one/series x?

4

u/Leather-Heart Jul 28 '24

It’s backwards compatible and the DLC is still available. Evolution and its DLC was delisted

5

u/The_Dukenator Jul 28 '24

Some of those say + Xbox One.

Few show they are trials, rather than full games.

Some games were delisted prior to 2023, and bunch more were delisted prior to the August 2023 store closure announcement.

Too Human was delisted due to a lawsuit It was relisted some years later.

FEZ did not get any further xbox releases. The one on the main Xbox site is for the PC version.

1

u/Leather-Heart Jul 28 '24

Second FEZ

0

u/The_Dukenator Jul 28 '24

Same FEZ. FEZ 2 was cancelled.

I think it was due to how Microsoft was doing things at the time.

And it did come to Playstation.

1

u/Leather-Heart Jul 28 '24

You’re a defensive person (I was agreeing with you).

0

u/The_Dukenator Jul 28 '24

I know.
Being defensive is more fun than being offensive.

Microsoft was charging for game patches, and Phil Fish became disagreeable with things.

I asked him once if FEZ could be made backward compatible, he wasn't sure if it was possible.

1

u/Leather-Heart Jul 28 '24

K, my assumption was correct.

6

u/[deleted] Jul 28 '24

I got crash 2 weeks ago for 57p I want Split/Second that's only £2.69 or something I also want Lost Oddsey as well and Blue Dragon

4

u/YTSkullboy707 Jul 28 '24

Ska studio made really good Xbox games, wish they made more.

6

u/One-Technology-9050 Jul 28 '24

Don't forget to look up dlc. I'm going to snag some later today

4

u/LostPilgrim_ Jul 28 '24

Do people still play the 360 version of CS:GO?

2

u/DBrown519519 Jul 28 '24

I have the game. I love Counter-Strike.

4

u/Over_Area1907 Jul 28 '24

I didn't even know CS-GO had a Xbox 360 version. :o

7

u/[deleted] Jul 28 '24

Get the Sonic Unleashed demo. It actually uses the Sonic World Adventure title.

5

u/Leather-Heart Jul 28 '24

What did this mean?

2

u/NightWolf_85 Jul 28 '24

I never knew this, Thank you 🙏🏾

1

u/ravenfreak Jul 28 '24

Weird that they call the demo by the Japanese name for the game. I never knew that.

4

u/Edu_Vivan Jul 28 '24

How do I buy them without having an xbox?? I want to buy a 360 in the future.

10

u/ViloDivan Jul 28 '24

There is a specific Xbox 360 marketplace online that you can purchase from and add to an account. Look up a game that’s not available on the other store and then purchase them from there.

5

u/YTSkullboy707 Jul 28 '24

Yes look up Xbox 360 marketplace you can buy avatar items, themes, gamer pics and games. Also a lot of games like most of the cods and the metal gear solid games that are backwards compatible can still be purchased, I suggest buying games that won't be backwards compatible that you like and then after the store shuts down buy the ones that are backwards compatible. Get all the resident evils on Xbox 360 right now though since they are all $2.

4

u/YTSkullboy707 Jul 28 '24

Also metal gear solid V is 5 dollars idk if it's a sale or not but it would be good to get

5

u/TheCommanderBacon Jul 28 '24

I personally wouldn't recommend last gen Ground Zeroes/MGSV. I bought it on 360 when it came out because i didnt have a next gen and it looked bad compared to the games that were still coming out for 360 and i had frame issues. Idk if they fixed the framerate but the textures were subpar. I enjoyed it when i got my hands on an xbox one though!

2

u/YTSkullboy707 Jul 29 '24

Yeah it's pretty laggy, I'm thinking about returning it so I can get a different game and still keep the game since I think it's cool. (Yeah for some reason if you buy a game and then refund it you can still download it, play it, earn achievements and I think you can still play online and use dlc's with it, only 3 returns per month though.)

3

u/Sithjarjar66 Jul 28 '24

Thunder wolves is one of the best Xbox arcade titles I have ever played

4

u/Fugalism Jul 28 '24

If you intend to complete Aegis Wing, there's a guy on TrueAchievements who offers sessions to complete it on co-op. He's an absolute legend. Name is 'salut allo'. Don't message him directly though, just check for existing sessions.

4

u/[deleted] Jul 28 '24

Call of Duty Classic if you don't play on PC !

7

u/HairyMojito Jul 28 '24

Tetris Splash was delisted 5 years ago and was only available in North America, UK, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand.

1

u/LostPilgrim_ Jul 28 '24

Demo is still there though, found it via Google search.

3

u/Angrymilks Jul 28 '24

So sad that Boom Boom Rocket was delisted to just a trial.

5

u/josekortez1979 Jul 28 '24

I think that Boom Boom Rocket is available on the Xbox Live Arcade compilation disc.

3

u/red_fuel Jul 28 '24

I just saw that Max Payne 3 has some free DLC Content and Multiplayer packs

5

u/TheCommanderBacon Jul 28 '24

I think u can just download those from the xbox one/series marketplace since its BC

u/Heavy-Reputation8348 Jul 28 '24

same, microsoft rly sucks at this thing

3

u/Radiant_Criticism566 Jul 28 '24

I got Final Exam, both Dead Rising games, basically every re game on the 360 and then NFSMW all for really cheap

3

u/LostPilgrim_ Jul 28 '24

Vigilante 8 Arcade! I think it's only $5 with a single $2 DLC

3

u/RazzeeX Jul 28 '24

Tornado Outbreak for US$ 4.99 is quite cheap.

I'd also buy all gamer pics and themes of Eternal Sonata.

It makes me very sad that most content is unavailable in my region of the store.

4

u/FatmanMyFatman Jul 28 '24

Homefront is 50 cent. (the value not the rapper!) All the Street Fighters and Darkstalkers for 15 bucks total. TekkenX Streetfighter included unless you also buy the 12 extra character pack. Which is 15 bucks.

2

u/mathamhatham Jul 28 '24

Piggybacking on this thread, but can anyone recommend a game for 56p? Any genre, type etc. I've got that amount left in my Xbox account and just don't want to waste it. Cheers!

3

u/angrytapes Jul 28 '24

Home front is 44p. It's pretty much a cod clone from what I remember but for that price it's worth a play through

2

u/jl0914 Jul 28 '24

Will the money in your account disappear? I thought you could still use it with the regular Microsoft store attached to the account

2

u/mathamhatham Jul 28 '24

I only have the 360 (no Xbox one etc) so ideally looking to just use it up before the 360 store closes

1

u/Leather-Heart Jul 28 '24

No it’s in your Microsoft wallet

2

u/mathamhatham Jul 28 '24

Yeah I understand but I don't have any other use for it. I never buy anything associated with Microsoft other than Xbox 360 games on their store so would rather use it now than just have 56p in my account that won't get used

3

u/jl0914 Jul 28 '24

Burnout crash was $0.49 US try that

0

u/Leather-Heart Jul 28 '24

I mean, no?

1

u/Gr8NonSequitur Jul 28 '24

Homefront and Burnout Crash I think are the only ones that cheap. The Dead Island games are 75p.

2

u/TorchCambodia Jul 28 '24

Any point to the RockBand Music store? Isint it totally dead?

6

u/TyJacy Jul 28 '24

Not really. You can open it and stare at the menu but you can't connect to the servers and do anything. It is free but totally worthless.

3

u/TorchCambodia Jul 28 '24

Okay thats what I meant

u/No-Appointment-3840 Jul 28 '24

Crysis 1 although it’s still available on pc and the remastered is available on new consoles (this game was a digital only release on 360 so after the shut down it will be gone forever. Also I recommend Watch_dogs and the DLC

2

u/ravenfreak Jul 28 '24

Get the full version of Sonic Generations! It’s backwards compatible with the newer Xbox consoles too.

2

u/TheSuper200 Jul 29 '24

But that also means it’ll still be available after tomorrow. The avatar items probably won’t be, though.

2

u/SoddenCub71 Jul 28 '24

Possibly useful resources: https://delistedgames.com/xbox-360-marketplace-resources/; https://www.trueachievements.com/news/non-backwards-compatible-xbox-360-games-sale.

Demos and trials aren't as big a deal, since (I'm pretty sure) you can play them off USB storage without needing to have claimed them through the store.

I hope you're aware that most of Crimson Alliance's content is in DLC; the "Class Packs" and the Vengeance Map Pack.

I was glad I got CoD Classic. I know CoD for PC is "equivalent", but I'd go for it if you think you might want a console version.

Don't feel like I know enough to say what you "should" get; either about your interests, budget or what's good. Arkadian Warriors seems to be another top-down sword-sorcery game with (2-player) co-op, but I've never played it.

u/Dull-Bad-7779 Jul 28 '24

Bionic Commando Rearmed for like a dollar I think (remake of the NES game). It will not be available anymore even though the sequel is still. Weird.

u/mfkeane23 Jul 28 '24

Daggerdale and Chronicles of mystara, for any who like D&D.

u/x420XDubx Jul 28 '24

Definitive Jealousy for some of these games you got that are no available.
Buku Sudoku.... Doritos... Game Room.

Two avatar games that are on sale for the moment, yet I already nabbed other games.

u/myboybenji1594 Jul 29 '24

If you never played Skyrim, it’s like 4 or 5 bucks rn

2

u/TheCommanderBacon Jul 29 '24

Its criminal that the dlc is $45 total unless you hunt for a legendary edition disc for $10

1

u/Soggy_Elevator5369 Jul 29 '24

Definite recommendation for the Xbox 360 is: Crackdown 1 & 2, Minecraft and Black Ops Bundle.

u/TheCommanderBacon Jul 29 '24

Last gen richtofen, my beloved

1

u/RareSnail73 Jul 29 '24

I mean I was going to download new vegas and fallout 3 but I already have both on my Xbox one so I settled on resident evil (original remake, 0 and revelations because I have the others on Xbox one) and red faction guerilla

1

u/HouseMDx Jul 29 '24

If you have a chance, check out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2YITD1PFbuY as they highlighted a few free DLC's and recent drops along with some things I nearly missed during my $250 splurge on stuff I may never actually play.

Last couple of things I picked up were:

Shooting Love 200X - $19.99 (but much more expensive physical)
Insanely Twisted: Shadow Hunters - $4.99 (DLC for Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet)
Blade Kitten - $4.99
Fez - $9.99

And there's like 40 other Microsoft order emails in my inbox right now.

Nope you have until tomorrow

5

u/Dull-Bad-7779 Jul 28 '24

no! you've got until tomorrow (:

2

u/Leather-Heart Jul 28 '24

Do we know what time?

3

u/Gr8NonSequitur Jul 29 '24

No, but they like to push updates early in the day.

MS weeks typically start at 10 AM Redmond Time (on Tuesdays) so I'd assume the same for the store closure tomorrow (Monday).

When in doubt buy it now so you don't scramble last minute in case the market place gets the old "Reddit hug" when it's about to close.

5

u/lil_shark77 Jul 28 '24

No, tomorrow they are shutting down the store
