Thanks for the heads up! I Still have over 100 physical games for the system, couple years from now might be a good time to start selling them off.

RIP. It's impressive it's been up for so long but everything gotta come to an end i guess.
Xenia better step their game up.

So many quality arcade/indie titles with the 360/Ps3 Generation.

Expected of course, but still always sad to see. Xbox 360 has such an impressive library and so many good memories tied to it. Some of my favourite Multiplayer experiences were because of that console.
Halo 3 was pretty much my life for years. What a game.

"Yes. Xbox 360 games will still prompt for and install game updates when one is available for a game that you’ve launched."

I need to buy Gears of War 1 digital. I own the disk version since launch but I stupidly never claimed the Gold digital version years ago so now I have all the Gears games except the very first one in my library. I can access it using Gamepass though.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
BC games will still be available on the new store even when the older one closes, so you won't lose out on anything.
I remember people gloating about xbox not shutting down their store when Sony was shutting down the PS3 one. VGC and others made such a fuss that Sony kept it open. Let's see if the same happens here.

Cue in crickets sounds. When Microsoft announced increasing the price of Series X barely anyone noticed or cared even though there was an outrage when Sony did them same earlier.

It's not gonna happen this time; we all know that.I remember people gloating about xbox not shutting down their store when Sony was shutting down the PS3 one. VGC and others made such a fuss that Sony kept it open. Let's see if the same happens here.
We can also already see people justifying the closure of the 360 store.

They are not shutting down the store. You can't buy any new games from the online store because they are shutting down the payment system in the 360 marketplace. Everything else will work. Atleast read the thread. Funny, you liked a post which considered a backwards compatibility a solution to this issue, one that Xbox already provides.I remember people gloating about xbox not shutting down their store when Sony was shutting down the PS3 one.

Oh sorry, they are shutting down the 360 "marketplace". I forgot to take into account the difference between a store and a "marketplace". My bad. Not surprised you're trying to weasel them out of it with this nonsense.

What the hell are you talking about? I said "marketplace" because it's officially called "Xbox 360 Marketplace". Trying so hard to change goalposts.
Who is them? This is literally my first post in this thread.

Their reversal pretty much stripped the ability to pay using cards or PayPal. Just PlayStation wallet funds. Essentially sidestepping the payments processing challenges that’s behind the drive to stop payments on these stores.

Sony didn’t close the PS3 and Vita stores, but it’s making it hard to shop at them
There’s a new change coming into effect on October 27th.

Might be interesting to see if MS gets any backlash and if they toe the same line.
You said "they aren't shutting down the store", "You can't buy any new games from the online store because they are shutting down the payment system in the 360 marketplace". Which is a stupidly long winded way of saying they're shutting down the 360 store but just calling it a 'marketplace' instead.What the hell are you talking about? I said "marketplace" because it's officially called "Xbox 360 Marketplace". Trying so hard to change goalposts.
Them as in MS. I'm saying I'm not surprised you're trying to weasel MS out of this with some bullshit, much like you tried with proprietary drives trying to tell me it would be cheaper when I was trying to tell you it wouldn't be.

It wouldn’t work for the website, because that never supported wallet payments, but I wish they kept the store on 360 with this limitation. That way you could just add account balance on the website and buy on a 360.
Closing it all down is just stupid.

Needs a huge 90% off sale on everything.
I still have my 360. I would pick up quite a few games I can't play elsewhere.

All I did was just call it, what they call it themselves
Whether they shut down the payment system or not, it was always called "Xbox 360 Marketplace". Why going schizo about what I called it? And yes, you can download all your existing games and get updates to existing games.
And you are the guy who blames me for all your issues. And if you really are gonna loop back to what I said in 2020
I made that statement, because I was referring to the cheaper and better third party alternatives to Xbox media remote (which I directly mentioned in that post)
There's a brand new Xbox Series X, Series S PDP Talon Media remote up for preorder
No IR Blaster, but we do have HDMI-CEC.

Can you explain how any of what you said has anything to do with what I said? I said they are shutting down the store, and they are. You came in here saying they aren't shutting it down but in fact they are shutting down the "360 marketplace" because of the payment system. The shut down is exactly what the PS3 store shutdown was, purchases. What exactly is your point? Why did you refute the fact that they are shutting down the store and told me to read the thread, then go on to say they aren't shutting down the store but they are shutting down the marketplace?
That's comical marketing by you but no that's not what I'm referring to. I was referring to this exchange. The xbox proprietary drives are still more expensive even till this day so don't post that link thinking that something has changed.I made that statement, because I was referring to the cheaper and better third party alternatives to Xbox media remote (which I directly mentioned in that post)

Reminder here to grab any non-BC 360 games that you're still interested in before the store's closing which will be on July 29th.

Are you still pirating psx game on Verbatims?here comes the physical dinosaurs. like if disk rot doesn't exists
That's the only time I've seen a cd rot, I have physical discs from 30 years ago and I still have to see any of them rot.
They will deteriorate over time, but they last more than your digitalicenses lol.
Maybe they will bring back Microsoft Points (Remember them?) as a workaroundTheir reversal pretty much stripped the ability to pay using cards or PayPal. Just PlayStation wallet funds.

The only digital store that makes even a tiny bit of sense is GOG.
Either give me the executable files with my money or don't even talk to me.

Steam does just that though lol
That list is bloated with titles that DO have a version for a more recent console. Alien:Isolation, for example. Maybe a 360 save won't copy over to a XS version, but the game itself is playable. I didn't read the whole thing but it's probably 50% sports titles and Rock Band DLC
