I recently got an Xbox Series X, and naturally I wanted to go back and enjoy some of the 360 titles that I played as a teen. For once, I feel like I did not miss the boat on buying these games at a decent price. Everybody talks about how cheap SNES and N64 carts used to be, but I wasn’t into retro gaming then, so all I’ve ever known is absurd prices.
I just bought Final Fantasy XIII for $0.99 on eBay (plus shipping). Ninety nine cents! Is this the norm? I know FF13 was controversial, but overall it’s a great title to own, pretty unique since Final Fantasy is usually Playstation exclusive.
I might just start a 360 collection.
I got $20 usually goes for $3. Though I might’ve miss remembered the game can’t seem to find the source.
Another example which I can find is the 3DS game Cubic Ninja. Went loose for $4 before it was found to be a homebrew entry point, then it jumped to $65, and back to $10 once it was patched out.
I thought Hannah Montana was rumoured to do the same, but it turned out to be a hoax. However I cannot find the source for this so I might’ve been mistaken or miss remembering which system it was for.
