My 360 still has RRoD so hard to play much on it, but I'll never forget those years

glad i got rdr, lost odyssey and blue dragon for like $5 each a bit ago. Not sure what else i should keep an eye out for

I think Rockstar must have been upset they couldnt sell their $50 port on xbox because the backwards compatible game is still available lol

What's some of the best DLC or Digital Games?

Sucks for people who never bought another console after xbox 360 and have been playing on it for like 15 years or however long its been

at least they gave 9 months notice to get what is left and move on.
still sucks they plan to close the x360 store.

BC games are available on the modern stores right? I haven't gotten an XBox after 360 but I was thinking about picking up a Series S at some point to play the older games.

aside from stuff that never got rereleased, as long as you can still download your old stuff I'm fine with it going to rest, the 360 had a strong run...

Oh wow, they supported their store way longer than Nintendo did

Pretty sure you'll still be able to buy them on the One/Series stores as long as they're BC

yeah its just the non bc compatible stuff that's going away...

Yeah I feel this shouldn't be too much of an issue if you can still buy 360 games on the S/X storefront.

ps3 will be following suit soon i imagine

Honestly I'm surprised it wasn't already closed.

i have to prepare to open my wallet if that happens :(.

190 games left to buy from it (mostly indies, some platinum games).

They tried that before and then alienated the internet to a point they changed to simply removing direct credit card payment methods to the store.

If they do, might have to snatch up those remaining PS1 games.

Some of those downloads for old purchased games has been breaking for me.

I bought earthworm jim HD for the 360 around when it first released. Its a BC game, so the last time I tried to play it on my xbox one s I keep getting this xbox live sign in error. I don't think it ever got fixed, =/

Oh damn, tell me what games to get before it's gone. I better buy the Alan wake sequels, the Castlevania dlc..

I like fps, adventure games, jrpgs, horror games, indie platformers, whatever Ace Attorney is called (visual novel? point n click?). Honestly, I'd give most games a try aside from sports, racing that isn't cart racing or weird in some way, and rts which I suck at

Any exclusives I need to try?

I don't think shank 1 and 2 got ported to modern consoles. (They did get steam/PC releases). Those were pretty fun.

Wet is a fun bullet-time third person shooter. Exclusive to the 360 and PS3. No PC port.

One of my personal favorite games is bionic commando-rearmed 1. (Not the big budget bionic commando game, but the xbla/psn smaller budget 1 that is basically a remake of the og bionic commando). Game is awesome and way better than bionic commando re-armed 2. Part 2 is BC via the xbox one and series s/x, but part 1 was never made BC so its 360/PS3 only on console. (Also got released on PC though).

Castlevania harmony of despair was fun as hell when it first released, but this one might be beyond dead nowadays though.

Gotta make sure I have the first Duels of the Planeswalkers game. I thought that the Might and Magic: Clash of Heroes game might have been removed from Steam, too, but I guess they just tanked the OG version for some more expensive definitive version.

earthworm jim HD

i don't think i can get that last trophy. you have to get through the game without dying.
major mucus is where i die in the bunjie jump.

Guess it's time to boot up my 360 and see if there's anything I want.
