Is this the golden age to purchase Xbox 360 games?
I recently got an Xbox Series X, and naturally I wanted to go back and enjoy some of the 360 titles that I played as a teen. For once, I feel like I did not miss the boat on buying these games at a decent price. Everybody talks about how cheap SNES and N64 carts used to be, but I wasn't into retro gaming then, so all I've ever known is absurd prices.
I just bought Final Fantasy XIII for $0.99 on eBay (plus shipping). Ninety nine cents! Is this the norm? I know FF13 was controversial, but overall it's a great title to own, pretty unique since Final Fantasy is usually Playstation exclusive.
I might just start a 360 collection.

I feel that common games on the 360 will stay cheaper longer than popular games on older consoles. In my opinion those that have nostalgia attached to the 360/PS3 are more content to own their games digitally, so supply could hold out for longer.
In addition I wonder with all these HD remasters/ releases if people will value the collectability of the originals as much. I kind of see this with the Atari 2600, where inferior ports of arcade games on the system have near 0 value. Though this could just be a product of lack of interest due to how rudimentary games from that time are.
