As the years go on, systems decline and rise in value, and sometimes, it's best to snatch them up before everything gets out of hand. That's exactly what's going on with the Xbox 360, as most of its games are still quite cheap, but with the store closure occurring in July 2024, you must grab them beforehand.

That said, there are still plenty of expensive games, just not nearly as many as other systems. It's actually quite refreshing that there are only two titles above $500, compared to other systems that just get ridiculous with the prices.

All values are based on PriceCharting's complete price at the time of writing.

Updated on March 4, 2024, by Dominic Allen: If there's one system best to collect for right now, it's the Xbox 360. Most titles are significantly cheaper on the 360 compared to the PS3, often play better, and most of the library is dirt cheap compared to something like the PS2. These games don't follow in line and will be hard to get for completionist collectors. With such a long time between the last update, this list needed a revamp to reflect the current market prices.

10 The Beatles: Rock Band Limited Edition - $251.05

Getting This Is A Real Hard Day's Night

One thing filling the catalog of the rarest 360 titles is rhythm games. The genre's boom was dominant during the first half of the console generation, and with all the various sets available, their value shouldn't be a surprise. The Limited Edition of Beatles Rock Band offers something special, however.

Since the Beatles are significantly older than most other popular bands, the guitar and drums offered are era-appropriate, being the same ones used by Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr. This is a really cool touch that makes this set different from most others.

9 Guitar Hero: Warriors Of Rock Super Bundle - $264.99

Guitar Hero's Dying Days

A rhythm game that might confuse you in regards to its rarity is Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock. For those unaware, this game ended up being the final entry in the series for a while due to the rhythm game craze crashing by the time of its September 2010 release date.

Not many people picked up this game, let alone still have the box for it. The contents of these bundles are usually sold loose, to begin with, and all of these factors make Warriors of Rock's Super Bundle vastly expensive.

8 Band Hero Super Bundle - $278.46

Swifties Will Eat This Up

Band Hero has to be one of the lesser-remembered rhythm games, being essentially the same as Guitar Hero but with primarily pop tracks instead of rock ones. The title's notable today due to its heavy emphasis on Taylor Swift, who appeared in advertisements, is a playable avatar, and, of course, it features several of her tracks.

This likely makes the game desirable for her Jupiter-sized fanbase, but with how rare a complete in-box Super Bundle is, that'll probably be hard to do. Who's kidding? Swifties will do anything to get this.

7 Titanfall Collector's Edition - $300

You Probably Forgot This Even Came Out?

Back in the early days of the Xbox One, one of its marquee exclusives was Titanfall. Being the first title from the now acclaimed developer Respawn Entertainment, it was solid enough, but a lot of people don't even remember that it was later released on 360.

Considering Titanfall was supposed to be a benchmark next-gen exclusive, releasing it on the older system baffled many consumers. The fact that most don't even remember a 360 port is a clear sign of its obscurity, with the Collector's Edition being incredibly valuable despite not having a low print run.

6 Rock Band 2 Bundle - $300.33

A Rhythm Game GOAT

Out of all the rhythm games on the Xbox 360, none of them are as critically acclaimed or fondly remembered as Rock Band 2. It was a phenomenal sequel from top to bottom and led to some of the greatest experiences with friends for many players.

Along with its huge popularity at the time, you can understand why a complete in-box copy of its bundle would be so rare today. Most people did not keep those boxes, and with how well Rock Band 2 sold, that's going to result in a very hard time for collectors.

5 Guitar Hero World Tour Band Kit - $321.91

The 360's Rarest Rhythm Game

While Rock Band 2 was the most critically acclaimed 360 rhythm game, you can argue Guitar Hero World Tour was the most popular of them all. Who could forget the classic advertisements with the athletes and Heidi Klum mimicking that iconic dance scene from Risky Business?

It was an all-time great video game ad campaign, and with how popular World Tour was, finding a complete in-box Band Kit bundle is going to be tough. You would naturally think that a flop like Warriors of Rock would be pricier, but again, since most of those boxes were thrown away, the more popular entries are rarer.

4 Kingdoms Of Amalur: Reckoning Exclusive Signature Edition - $350.35

The Signature Burn Begins

Quite a few of the rarest 360 games involve signatures within the package, and the first one is Kingdoms Of Amalur: Reckoning Exclusive Signature Edition. Limited to only 300 copies, you get everything included within the Collector's Edition and two special items: a custom sketch by legendary comic book artist Todd McFarlane and a signed troll statue.

What's fascinating about the latter is that you don't get three total signatures like usual; instead, the troll figure will only be signed by one of the three people listed. This means the price could vary depending on what signature the buyer wants, although that type of stuff isn't factored in with sites like PriceCharting.

3 Madden NFL 09 Breast Cancer Slipcover - $353.45

This One's A Blast From The Past

If you remember, ten-plus years ago, sports companies like the NFL and WWE celebrated breast cancer awareness month during October. The pink motif was in all sorts of places during the games, and even video games followed suit. During October and exclusively available at Target and the official NFL shop was a copy of Madden NFL 09 with a breast cancer slipcover telling the buyer that proceeds from the sale would go towards the Deanna Favre Hope Foundation.

This is a nice, wholesome collector's item, but the cool thing is that you're really only paying for the slipcover. The game box itself remains identical to the regular one, meaning you can simply buy the slipcover loose and get a regular copy to complete it.

2 Call Of Duty: World At War Box Set - $500

One Of The Strangest Box Sets Ever Released

Despite its notoriety, none of the Collector's Editions for the Call of Duty games are especially rare, but there is one bizarre variant. A special box set for Call of Duty: World at War also contained the DVD for the 2001 film Enemy at the Gates. Putting in a movie for this package is just odd and doesn't fit like the movie pack-ins for something like the Collector's Edition of John Woo's Stranglehold.

Yes, World at War's campaign does take influence from that film, but that doesn't stop this product from seeming like it came from bizarro world. Only two sold listings for the set have happened since 2021, making the rarity out of this world.

1 Dead Space Ultra Limited Edition - $1,100

A Horror Game Lover's Treat

The Ultra Limited Edition of Dead Space is only limited to 1,000 copies, a bigger supply than other rare 360 games, but due to the edition's contents, that point won't matter much. Most of the product contains the usual stuff you'd see at the time, like a comic book and art book, but one item puts the price tag up to that $1,000 mark.

You get two signatures, one from the art director and, most importantly, one from executive producer, Dead Space creator, and legendary game dev Glen Schofield. His work ranges from Gex to Call of Duty to The Callisto Protocol, and the signatures offered are definitely why this product's so expensive.
