I’ve noticed some slightly obscure Xbox 360 titles rising in price lately. Anyone know why demand has gone up suddenly? Examples: Spec Ops: The Line ($15 to $35), Spectral Force 3 ($20 to $100), and Lost Odyssey ($20 to $35).

Halo 3 limited edition and Fallout New Vegas on XONE have climbed too, though they aren’t as obscure.

Are collectors starting to focus on Xbox 360 titles?

    Spec Ops the Line got pulled from digital stores due to music licensing expiring, so physical copies are the only way to play it now if you didn’t already own it digitally.

    I assume Fallout is due to interest in the show, and everyone having a hard-on for that particular one.

    Not sure about the rest.

      Ah okay, I didn’t know Spec Ops was available online at all, but that checks out. Renewed interest in Fallout due to the TV show makes sense too.

      Lost Odyssey and Halo 3 limited both have multiple discs, so I suppose it’s harder to find copies with all of the discs. Spectral Force 3 had poor reviews, so I suppose it didn’t sell well and is harder to find. But these things were true months ago, so something must have sparked interest in them.

      Wet on both Xbox 360 and PS3 shot up in price recently too. That makes me suspect people are collecting more for 7th gen now.

    I know I grabbed the Fallout games awhile back to have the DLC on disc, could be others doing the same?

      Makes sense. JackDark mentioned a renewed interest in the series due to the TV show as well. I wasn’t thinking about that since I don’t watch a lot of TV. But there might be growing interest in 7th gen console collecting generally lately.
