Poll Keep my XBOX 360 Slim 250gb OR Sale it? (I am getting the XBOX 1 halo edition) (11 votes)

Keep XBOX 360 Slim (to store and save) 82%
Sale XBOX 360 (ebay - amazon - gamestop) 18%

I am trying to decide if I should keep my xbox 360 slim and store it or if I should sale it on say ebay, amazon, or gamestop, other?

I am getting the XBOX one Halo edition and since the xbox one will have backwards compatibility I don't need to have the xbox 360 out. It would be nice to clean up my entertainment center.

What would you all do or have done?

Thanks for the help.

My friends are no help. My brother says sale it he already did. My friends say keep it for ever and ever. But I don't have a ton of space to just store everything. I doubt its value will ever go higher than what it currently is worth.

If it were me, I'd keep the 360. For now anyway. Yes XB1 is getting BC, but it's not going to be all games (wouldn't surprise me if we end up with only a few).

But I'd wait and see which 360 games we get on XB1, then maybe decide.

I would recommend that you keep your 360, PLUS that's exactly what I did. I still own my multiple 360s.

Besides, BC is limited and not going to be all 360 titles. They have nearly 100 planned for this November, but we can't expect all the games nor have they promised that. Especially since we've seen many publishers have said no or opted out of Xbone BC.

There is also emulation problems to deal with, install and download issues which create a HDD space problem on your Xbone.

Other missing publishers that are currently not on the Xbone BC list:

-Atlus,

-Activison,

-Blizzard,

-TellTale,

-Aksys Games,

-505 Games,

-Devolver Digital,

-Zen Studios,

-Paradox Interactive,

-Konami,

-Rockstar,

-and more...

There is some notable Publishers not on that BC list like Konami (Castlevania, Metal Gear Solid), Activision (Guitar Hero, Tony Hawk, Call of Duty, Skylanders), and Rockstar (Bully, Max Payne 3, Grand Theft Auto, Red Dead Revolver) to name a few. Activision's Call of Duty series btw, is the #1 most requested BC series from consumers last I read. Even with some publishers on the official BC list, it will still be a game by game process whether the publisher decides which of their games are allowed or if the game will work. Capcom for instance may sign up, but may choose to be picky on what 360 games they allow for example (not to be taken literally for Capcom).

Let the lesson of the 360 BC remind you how things will play out (360 ended up with about 50% BC) @koolyoe:

Sell it during one of the $150 trade in towards an Xbox 1 offers at Best Buy.

I'd say keep it, there are still a ton of great games to play on it and not all of them will make it to the X1s backwards compatibility program. At least for now, if you want to still play any of those old 360 games, keep it. If you have no 360 games you wish to play, then trade up!

Yeah. Keep it. I am thinking of getting one again depending on the BC list. Have not actually checked, but hopefully Reach is there. If not I fancy getting a 360 and jazzing it up a little. Anyway, at least you would a gaming back up if the One goes tits up.
