    Yo, if you are having problems adding a payment method, do it through this link: https://live.xbox.com/es-AR/ManagePaymentOptions/AddPaymentO...
    When adding, the screen may remain blank, but that means your card is already added, you just have to go to your 360 and buy directly from there, there it will appear added.

    Almost nothing of interest this time around. Hope the last one brings games I actually want. King's Quest please!

    Also as of today June 23rd does anyone know which recent sales listed games still aren't available to purchase and any from the original sale not available? Hoping they fix all the ones that are supposed to be still be on sale and listed but aren't working for purchase :(

    No, they will not increase at any point. These are permanent price changes until the store closure.

    Game released for 10 USD, then got permanently discounted to 5 USD long ago. So, 5 USD is the regular price of this game.

    I'm unable to buy Fight Night Round 3 on console, when I try to buy it I get an error "Sorry, this item is no longer available."
    fight night round 3 shows as $20 for me in the states, not as advertised $2...
    Try on the website
    https://marketplace.xbox.com/en-us/Product/Fight-Night-Round...

    Weird enough in my country (Mexico) it's full price on the website but discounted on console but I can't buy it

    Anyone else having trouble making a purchase on the 360 store web page? Been buying Xbox 360 games for decades and this is the first time I'm getting errors for MS being unable to find a payment method. facepalm
    Made sure everything looked right on the Account page, but I've seen this error on 3 attempts to purchase a game since last week...

    360 marketplace website purchasing has been broken for about 2 days, cannot retrieve payment methods. Need more people to report this to Microsoft.

    Adrenalin Misfits and Air Conflicts: Secret Wars delisted in the UK and not US. Wow
    Adrenalin Misfits is called CrossBoard7 outside of North America and has it's own achievement list. It is actually still available, but is not discounted.
    Adrenalin Misfits
    https://marketplace.xbox.com/en-us/product/adrenalin-misfits...
    Adrenalin Misfits (EU/JP)
    https://marketplace.xbox.com/en-gb/product/crossboard-7/66ac...

    Air Conflicts: Secret Wars also has two stacks. North American version is still available, but the other one is delisted.

    I haven't noticed anyone (including Microsoft) talk about these but two SHMUPS on the Japanese Marketplace got discounted to 1,000 yen last month.

    Eschatos

    Ginga Force

    https://marketplace.xbox.com/ja-JP/Product/%E3%82%AE%E3%83%B...

    All credit for finding these goes to ChaosAlert.

    These are available physically but kind of rare and obviously much pricier.

    I wish TA would track Japan as well. Due to quite a few stacks and exclusives available there, it would make sense even if there aren't too many Japanese Xbox fans.
    Does anybody know a good place to buy Japanese store credit that is actually in stock?

    I'm in UK.
    I usually buy from here: https://www.offgamers.com/product/xbox-gift-cards?region_id=...

    Is that BLACK different from the one on EA Play and not backwards compatible?
    Don't believe what people told you. I've just purchased the game via marketplace website and I already own it on mu Xbox Series X. So yes, it's the same game.

    EVERY BACKWARDS-COMPATIBLE GAME BOUGHT ON THE MARKETPLACE APPEARS ON YOUR XBOX ONE/SERIES
    It's a weird situation. I bought Black in like 2011-2012 or something like that, and have the BC version of course. This version shows that I don't own it. Glad it's also giving ppl the BC version, but it's def a different version (Even if it's exactly the same) as the one that used to be on the store.
    When original Xbox games became backwards compatible on the Xbox One/Series X|S that were already backwards compatible on the Xbox 360 they relisted the games on the Xbox 360 and delisted the old versions. If you had previously bought a game on Xbox 360 you got the license for the Xbox One/Series X|S version, but not the Xbox 360 version.

    For these games there is actually two backwards compatible versions on the Xbox 360. Probably mostly identical, but if you bought the old version before it got delisted and buy the new version you will have two versions on your hard drive and both can be launched and played.

    These are the games that I own and have two versions of:
    Black
    Max Payne
    Max Payne: The Fall of Max Payne
    Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory

    Anyone have a decent Newegg or similar suggestion for a good external hard drive to back up all my 360 stuff?
    Just about any USB HDD will work. Seems like there's a size limit on 360, maybe 2 or 4tb, but anything under the limit should work after it's formatted.

    I have a few used internal laptop HDDs (500gb, $5 each) along with a $1 SATA-to-USB cable to back mine up.
    Solid! I approve of the use of repurposed old hardware too. I’ll look around for some 1 TB drives, good call on internal and SATA to USB. $1 foe a cable is definitely cheaper than the upcharge for an external drive. Do you recall if the 360 was USB 2.0 or was it older than that? I mean USB fails backward iirc so I suppose it probably doesn’t matter.
    Xbox 360 used USB 2.0. The max that it will recognize is 2 TB.

    2) Trying to buy a couple of the US-exclusive titles on the 360 marketplace website, and indeed an actual 360, has been a fruitless endeavour - It keeps saying "Sorry, this offer is not vaild in your region" even tho I've used a VPN and have set my account to the US, and they're simply not showing up on my 360, even when I have my region set to US. Is there a fix, or am I just pissing in the wind?
    If the games are US NTSC-exclusive, you'll never be able to buy or play them on PAL console, VPN won't help, it's just impossible. They can only be played on US NTSC console. Examples: Adrenalin Misfits, Air Conflicts: Secret Wars, NCAA Basketball 09: March Madness Edition
    Not true for NCAA Basketball 09: March Madness Edition. I bought and completed the game back in 2009 on my PAL console.

    How did you manage to do it? I tried to do it on my PAL console without VPN, but I got restricted.
    M.A.K.
