What's Up With Xbox 360?

A Legacy Guide to Microsoft's Iconic Retro System

The Xbox 360 System. While Microsoft has long moved on to newer generations, the Xbox 360 remains one of the most beloved and accessible consoles in gaming history. Since the Xbox 360 Marketplace permanently closed in July 2024, players can no longer purchase digital games directly through the console's store. However, this has triggered a massive renaissance for physical media and used games. Today, you can easily pick up a pre-owned Xbox 360 Slim or Xbox 360 E model on secondary markets like PriceCharting or eBay for anywhere between $50 and $100 depending on the condition and hard drive size.
