Funny, I was talking to my mom last night about how eventually, someday, all these digital media storefronts will shut down and some media will become inaccessible, and used the Wii as an example that she could relate to.
To be fair, this will be just a few months shy of the 360's 19th birthday, so it's certainly more reasonable than the Wii/U/3DS shutdowns. But yeah, it's still another reason I prefer physical. --- darkx Games beaten in 2023 - 7; Most recent - Professor Layton and the Curious Village ... Copied to Clipboard!

The difference between this and what happens with physical releases is that you're actually aware it's happening. Also you don't have the option to pay $500 to some asshole on eBay for the really popular stuff I guess.

But isn't the deal there that stuff from the 360 store gets displayed ontonthe X/S store for a cleaner UI? I don't have one myself, just going by vague memory.

Those lists are always a bit wonky. Like the PS3 one includes MGS: Legacy Edition, which is just weird to consider it's own thing at all.

Let's be real, eBay isn't really a reasonable option with how fucked the retro gaming market has become. Piracy is legit the only true form of preservation for these games, and it's perfectly viable and not even really any more ethically compromised than propping up the scalp bros who'd have you pay hundreds of dollars for a single Gamecube game. Not like the developers or even the publishers are still making money on anything that truly "goes away" like this.

It's more like if a game was only released on the 360 internet store, you can't buy it anymore and it's lost to time. Most games that dont have a physical version dont have one because that would have been an unreasonable ask. Digital-only storefronts, especially in the 00s, allowed so many more games to be released than would ever be possible if every game needed a physical copy. This entire situation is not an argument for or against either physical or digital. Obviously ideally both options would always exist but that isnt reality. --- Thank you, Eddie Guerrero. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DRlKR5nU8AA_v_C?format=jpg&name=large ... Copied to Clipboard!

Ah, that's good. Not really. A lot of games are backwards compatible, but more aren't. I do think it's a minority of good games that isn't backwards compatible however. But at that point you're still in the 'video game preservation' argument; even if it's not good, it is disappearing (and forever if this now gives Sony the incentive to try to shut down their PS3/PSP/Vita store again). --- How paralyzingly dull, boring and tedious! ...

At the end of the day the physical releases will also deteriorate and cease working over time, hell this has already started happening in some cases. Saving a digital game for archival purposes really isn't different from saving a cartridge you've dumped or a disk you've ripped.

If the games aren't accessible from the current Xboxes then you're pretty much fucked even if you have a 360 or a truckload of 360s. Remember the consoles were terribly built and they will pretty much all die relatively soon. Maybe the later revisions will last longer but those are probably like at most 15% of all 360 consoles...

The list posted earlier doesn't seem complete to me. This is the one I've seen floating around the most, but I don't think the bolded games are wholly accurate - I haven't checked on my Xbone, but I think titles like Death Tank and Vigilante 8 Arcade are 360 exclusives that'll be caught in this sweep. https://docs.google.com/document/u/0/d/1hxTr0R6EO--X34hqIt3i7fJJge6AU6ReG3z2JVSLVzY/mobilebasic I'm taking the opportunity to go through the marketplace altogether and pick up other stuff in case we see more delistings follow. Great time for recs if anyone knows any stuff that's XBLA exclusive or where the XBLA version is the best available. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I already know one game missing from that Google Docs list.
Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix https://marketplace.xbox.com/en-us/Product/SuperStreetFighter2THD/66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d802584108a4 And while Mortal Kombat Arcade Kollection isn't technically a 360 exclusive, you can only get it right now on Xbox 360 because it's been delisted on Steam and PSN. Do games only found on the Xbox 360 Marketplace still go on sale? Or is it like the PS3 and Vita store where no sales ever happen anymore? --- FFXIV - Faerie Server: https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/character/5086952/ F/GO: 271551102; FFBE: 886783216 ...
