I will try and unconfusion.
I own lots of xbox 360 games on disk. Many of them are backwards compatible.
They are all in a box in a closet. I can't get to them and would like them all to go away.
Years ago there was talk of a disk to digital trade in program. No details were ever given and seems to have been abandoned.
The hope was for a small fee I could trade in my physical disks and get a digital code in return.
The hope is gone. If I want to play old 360 games I'm going to have to dig them out of the closet.
It's just a pain in the butt.
The other option is to just simply rebuy all the games digitally. I don't want to spend money doing that when I already have them on disk. 2023 has new games to buy instead.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
That's the whole point of this - some of these games are backwards compatible (playable on the One / Series), but never got moved to the "modern" storefront. There are a few games that did get moved over, so those aren't in danger of being delisted (Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey, Mass Effect 2, Witcher 2, etc.). But there are a bunch of games that were only ever available on the Xbox 360 storefront - the old "marketplace", that are being removed. Stuff like Daytona USA, Counter Strike GO, and Spelunky were never purchasable on the Series X store, but they ARE playable on the Series X, and they're getting removed.
You can (for another 6 days) purchase them online to add them to your account.

I just do not understand how this BC process works from a behind the scenes standpoint, if they were re-authorized for BC/distribution on modern consoles why couldn't MS migrate them over?

Maybe it was a "well it's cool if legacy owners get to keep playing the games they own on newer hardware, but we don't want to sell Assassin's Creed III and Assassin's Creed III remaster at the same time. But we still want people with only an Xbox 360 to be able to buy the game."
In the case of something like Daytona USA, it's possible that SEGA has the rights to sell the game on the Xbox 360, but not on modern consoles, because of music rights or something. Then they kind of get around the issue by making the 360 game available on modern consoles if you already own it.
In the case of indie games like Spelunky or Defense Grid, I have no idea lol

Stupid legal horseshit
Anyway, I went on the online store, Daytona is listed but won't let me buy it, and I no longer see a listing at all for Prince of Persia 2008. For me they seem to be gone.

I am in uk but I went here https://marketplace.xbox.com/en-gb/...77fe-1000-9115-d80258410b1d?DownloadType=Game where it still has the buy option. It is janky so I assume is an older store?

How does Daytona play? Was it patched up? I never got it 10 years ago on 360, but going by reviews back then people said it plays arse. Analog control is way too sensitive.

I didn’t find it to be a problem. Had a good time with it personally, but never played the arcade.

Hopefully they are able to migrate the games from the old X360 Marketplace to the new one.

This is gonna be fun. Sony backed off the ps3 shutdown with backlash, wonder if MS will too. BC got most of the popular titles so fewer people will probably care.
There’s BC games you can buy on the new store but with dlc you can’t.

For anyone who owns Left 4 dead 2, You can buy its DLC from INSIDE the game. It wouldn't show up for me on the Series X store, But I was able to buy the 2 dlc sets in game.

Its 100% a must buy. Really. Dont miss out.
No clue what the analog control complaints are talking about - it controls how it always did - those people probably just didnt know how to play it.
Turning in Daytona is all about down shifting - its never been particularly easy.
I play it quite often - and somehow still able to outdo my best times.

It's more that they saw the Backlash and moved it already lol.

Also, I hope they put some games like Orange Box on the new Xbox store.
A message that the Xbox 360 Marketplace will close in May was an ‘error’, Microsoft says | VGC
The support article told players they had until May 2023 to buy any 360 games or DLC…

It never did, for some reason from the website you could never use your wallet credit. You could only use it on a 360 and can still use there today.

Went to buy Daytona USA and it said I already own it. To top it off, I already got all the Achievements back in 2017. Damn it, I was really looking forward to getting the Achievements! 
Oh well, at least I have it downloaded on my Series X now.
The funny thing is, I recently busted out my OG copy on my Saturn and was having a blast, thinking that it had been the early 2000's since I last played it.

I'm kinda scared to turn on my 360 but I really want that orange box!

I'm not that bothered about Daytona being lost forever because it is all well and good having that ....but the REAL story is why Sega never bothered about bringing part 2 to consoles over the past decade, and they probably won't bring it to modern day consoles either in the next decade...
They have so so many arcade racers they could port over...

That always pissed me off, especially after they merged the stores and still didn't try to fix it. I'd love to buy some 360 games to play on the newer consoles, but I can't use the wallet.

Related but also unrelated:
360 is entering into the retro gaming phase - and the main thing that worries me as someone who still uses it often - is the console was designed to hold only like 4 or 5 game patches at a time. Once you go over that limit - the patches need to download again.
That 4 or 5 patch limit covers the Cave shmups I still play alone - not to mention the entire Armored Core franchise and lots of other exclusives too.
Interesting to see how long the 360 patch server will remain up. Im wondering if theres a way to store those patches on a thumbdrive or something.

Damn fucking shame Orange Box or Portal 2 don't have FPS boost. They're already 4K but just need the frame rate boost.

No, both of those are available on the new market place already.

Just realised, Prince of Persia 2008 has an epilogue DLC / expansion which I'd never played.
This I guess is being delisted with the game, and obviously isn't available on disc so this is your last day to get it:

Oh yeah, even though the expansion *is* a wet fart and just ends in another cliff-hanger like the base game, losing this content forever is a damn shame no matter how you look at it.

Any recommendations on what to pick up (For backwards compatibility)? I've got Daytona.

I have most of these titles but none of the DLC. Is there any noteworthy DLC (similar to this Price of Persia suggestion) that I should consider picking up for these games?

Unfortunately I can't really justify spending hundreds of dollars on backwards compatible games that I probably won't ever play. The downside once again to our lovely all digital future.

Gotta get the dlc since it’ll be gone forever if you want to play later. I didn’t buy the two L4D campaigns back in the day.
