An Xbox 360 owner has acquired an impressive haul of games for the console for just 25 euros. The stack of Xbox 360 games is so full of hits that the buyer wasn’t sure where to start, and has asked for opinions.
The Xbox 360 had something of a bumpy start, largely due to a lack of supply when the console initially shipped to retailers. The system is also fairly notorious for experiencing the ‘Red Ring of Death,’ where the console would abruptly fail, leading Microsoft to offer an extended warranty on the devices. While it had some difficulties, the Xbox 360 saw much more success than its predecessor, and was only narrowly outsold by its main competitor, the Sony PlayStation 3.
Xbox 360 Gamer Makes Exciting Discovery After Getting Used Console
An Xbox gamer makes an exciting discovery after getting their hands on a used Xbox 360 console from the mid-2000s.
One Xbox 360 owner shared their game haul for the console with other fans. The stack of 25 games is impressive, with many well-known hits gracing the list, including Red Dead Redemption, Halo Reach, Battlefield 3, Mass Effect 3, and Xbox 360 exclusives like Gears of War 2. According to the OP vitalviper, they found the incredible deal on Facebook Marketplace, where they had to haggle with the seller, ultimately purchasing it for 25 euros, or roughly $27 USD at the time of writing. Even if some of the games in the stack aren’t to the player’s liking, securing these titles for one euro each is remarkable. To that end, vitalviper asked other players what they should play first.
Other fans of the games and console were quick to share ideas, with several urging the player to try Halo Reach, LA Noire, Bioshock 2, or Battlefield 3. Since several of the games were part of a series, many also recommended that the fan seek out the other entries for a complete experience. Ultimately, vitalviper chose to kick off the list with Red Dead Redemption, and said they were enjoying the adventures of John Marston quite a bit.

Xbox consoles have come a long way since the Xbox 360, with the Xbox One and Xbox Series systems carrying on the legacy. Unfortunately, due to many Xbox 360s experiencing the Red Ring of Death, many players who owned one can no longer use their consoles to play these old titles. However, through Xbox Game Pass and the Xbox Series’ backward compatibility, several games are still accessible on newer systems.
