I'm Xbox-only. Last PlayStation I owned was PS3. I've been steadily collecting more and more XB1 games since 2019, because obviously physical games are on their way out. The biggest problem with XB1 discs is not having a playable build actually present on the disc. For this reason I cannot own Starfield, Jedi Survivor, Hogwarts Legacy, Forza Horizon 5, Forza Motorsport, Avatar Frontiers of Pandora, etc. and the list continues to grow. When a new game comes out more than likely you need a download in order to play it. That means physical Xbox games are ALREADY DEAD. It doesn't matter if they keep shipping discs if they're actually incomplete or just digital copies.

arent “series x” physicals largely just a download key at this point? halo infinite has almost nothing on the disc iirc

I usually double dip on Xbox games when they're going cheap having usually bought the "first version" of the game on playstation or switch. Example...I recently picked up( on Xbox) all the newer tomb raider games for £25 for the separate games and all the watchdogs for a combined £18.

I own all 3 consoles and my preferred multi game system is xbox one and series x and I own around 300+ games for the console and have no problem finding most games and buy mostly for console exclusives for PS5 and Nintendo Switch.

Home run Challenge! Me and my cousins used to play this all the time trying to get the high score! I still have it downloaded and play it from time to time.

I don’t think the Xbox one has any games that play off the disc. So I think once service for Xbox one shuts down I don’t think any of the games will be playable

My physical Xbox one collection is quickly becoming one of my largest. I must have 300 discs by now 🤷🏻‍♂️

For me Abzu, Stardew Valley is my absolut Most Holy Grail in the Xbox!

Hey Pete, I'm in a pretty similar boat. I pretty much only use my xbox for game pass and rarely buy physical games on my playstation. I'm starting to shift to digital only because I have an easier time finding game sales on steam sales, psn or xbox sales. You're recent ebay video did inspire me tho to start building my physical game collection! I honestly miss the feeling tho of walking into a game store and finding a bunch of cheap games and buying a lot of games. Even if I didn't enjoy them all, it was pretty fun to shop and have a ton of cases to dig through to find a fun game to play.

I got Gollum on the PS5 but I saw it on XBOX for £6.99 on Amazon so I said why not, I always thought it's a hidden gem in the making:-))

PS3 and 360 are going to have a renaissance for collecting when it sinks in that games are nothing but shells that contain a license. I don't think that realization has gone mainstream.

I've been watching you on and off for about 15 years, you've aged so well dude. I'm so jealous you have healthy skin and all your hair still. Keep it up!

Nice video! :)

So incredibly, painfully, and intensely jealous right now.

People don't care now. But they eventually will. It's been seen over and over again with everything.

And you also have to think about this you don't need an Xbox to play game pass which is nice... and a lot of the games that are on console that I want to play are also on PC so it's no sense of spending the extra money you may have a few games not a whole lot to really worry about

So you do not get the full games?

Me personally I don't collect anything modern unless its on the Switch. I gave up on PS years ago....after the PS3 I just totally lost interest ...i had a ps4 but sold it. And then last year I sold all my Xbox stuff . I collect retro games and consoles and Nintendo Switch games.

Do you know how I found this video? I typed "I miss gaming in the 2000s"....this is sad. But thank you for doing such video, very heartfelt. I agree with everything you said.

The setup requiring an Internet connection has always turned me off collecting for Xbox One/Series. I just chalk it up to being a digital only system that goes away when MS pulls support for the initialization servers

Hello 🙂 I live in France and it's true that xbox physical games have a very limited release here.... Last day I tried to find a very common game Sniper elite 5. And oh my god 😱 ..... I spend 1h15 in my car to pick it up in a game store on xbox. You gave to know that I live near Paris, so I am not living in a forest or a desert 👍👍 It is the same with many other titles . Ps5 , no problem. Xbox ? Not easy ....

I collect for my One X as much as my other systems! I love the console. I’m not the biggest fan of game pass and other subscription services so I love having physical copies. I have over 85 XBox One physical games

One of the Xbox One games I do own is Cuphead....no disc🤨

So cheap

There's one huge thing that gives me second thoughts when buying for Xbox one as a collector, and that's the required online handshake to start operating the console itself. An Xbox One or Series is a paperweight unless you do the online handshake and have an active gamertag to start playing games. There's also the fact that first party games are mostly not completely on disc or nowadays don't have physical releases at all. Halo infinite and Series version of Forza Horizon 5 were the first two games that solidified the Xbox as one not to collect for. I collect original Xbox and 360 games all day but the Series and One consoles wiill always have a huge question mark with future viability.

STOP! STOP! STOP! THIS IS NOT A DVD! THIS IS NOT A DVD! I actually collect all of the multiplatform games for the Xbox because of their generous use of backwards compatability!

I own zero... one of the few consoles l have nothing.

I collect for xbox due to the prices as you mentioned. My rule is if it is digital only on xbox I’ll buy the physical version on ps (if option is there). Sole purpose of buying the physical games is due to ownership.

I love my Series X for the backwards

I’m lucky enough to own a series X and PS5 and I usually pick up most games for the Xbox, I’m currently at 187 and regularly find games I’ve never heard of before for just a few £, definitely system Work collecting for.

As someone with 143 Xbox One games, and 42 Series X games in their collection, I support physical over Game Pass on that console. I treat Game Pass as a rental service, subbing maybe once a year, trying a few games out, and whatever I like, I buy a physical of to enjoy whenever I want. As for finding and playing the games, I love buying XBONE games because of the cheap prices as you've said, and if you've got a One X, or Series X, multiplats often perform better as well. So for a cheaper price, I'm getting the same game that either runs as well, or sometimes even better? Sounds like a perfect match. It's also why my original Xbox collection is at 293 games. Multiplats are cheaper, and run better. How can I say no?

For me Back compat 360 games. FPS & Res boost. Plus 95% of all last gen games look & play better on Xbox.

Physical games if they exist on xbox one are cheap, but I prefer to pay a little more and get them on PS4 as I like to have one primary system for each generation. I was an xbox 360 fan but the xbox one was a massive step backwards with a bad UI and delayed, online only achievements that can be unreliable. I stuck with the xbox one in the hope that the series X would be better. But the series X was exactly the same. So I sold the series X and switched to PS5. I am now replacing my xbox one physical games with PS4 copies. The physical library for the xbox one must be one of the most repettitve system libraries out there. You just get COD, UBIsoft games, the annual sports titles. The xbox one is only good for casual gamers that only want to play the big famous AAA sports games & shooters.

I wish Xbox had more physical games because Xbox in general seems to be more consumer friendly than PlayStation, though I main PS

Seems like stalker 2 might be the last physical and who knows if it’s even on disk. I only use my series x for “boosted” 360 games at this point.

I was the only person who got like a dragon ishin for Xbox at my local game store

It’s either gonna be like dirt cheap Atari games or expensive like Sega Saturn games

I think you're killing it with these recent uploads. By that I mean we need moar PeteDorr on RUclips. Keep 'em coming!

I have an Xbox One, and I've never ever subscribed to game pass. I don't like subscription services to play games

I am getting physical Xbox games. I'm not sure why, honestly. I think it's just a bit of counter culture / hipster in me. Games like R-Type Tactics, Dragon Quest III HD, Neptunia Sisters Vs Sisters, Neptunia Game Maker Revolution, Persona 3 Portable / Persona 4 Golden, Visions of Mana, Raiden IV, SMT V, Persona 5 Royal and Tactica, Tales of Arise, KOF XV, Diofield Chronicle, Star Ocean Divine Force. They're all available on multiple platforms, but I've been opting to go with them physically on Xbox. It's a little hard to explain, I see the more popular systems like crowded parking lots and I'd prefer to park further away. I know that makes zero sense for games, but it's just the vibe I get so hey, why not? The recent "SDCC convention exclusive foil cover" versions of Persona 3 Portable and Persona 4 Golden seemed to be individually numbered. Each game had 2050 on Switch, 1150 on PS4, and 1050 on Xbox. The Xbox version is technically the 'rarest', and when LRG put the extras on sale it still stayed up in stock the longest. The demand is so low for stuff on Xbox. It's hard to imagine them becoming valuable by comparison or anything, though. If you look at original Xbox even though they usually have the 'best' multiplatform version, a lot of the games stay really cheap (some exceptions of course).

If a game is released on ps4 and has free upgrade for ps5,wouldnt that suggest,the ps5 version of the same game would not sell well,and be more rare?

I put a disc into my Xbox one and I can't play it, it just unlocks the game in the digital store. So, no thanks.

I sold my entire Xbox collection in December of last year. To this day I have no regrets.

With the exception of my xbox 360, which i have a ton of games, the rest are very little. I usually pick up xbox one games cheap at pawn shops for 5 dollars.

I often buy Xbox One games for my Series X. They are definitely affordable right now. I don't like Game Pass, for a variety of reasons. I'm hoping Xbox doesn't abandon physical games next gen. Assuming they even bother releasing more hardware. I'm not down for digital only, and I won't support any platform that is. This is why I don't bother with PC.

Hi Pete! Im thinking of starting to collect for different systems, but something that pushes me back is not knowing which games have a physical release. Do you have a website or a place to guide yourself on which game has a physical release?

I have a sizable Xbox One collection actually. I never stopped collecting with the 8th gen, and even now, I'm collecting diligently for the 9th gen as well. Downloads and GamePass have no appeal to me, I'd rather have the physical copy. Sometimes it's difficult to tell what folks are even into these days, because I don't see pickup videos of people showing new physical releases anymore. I feel like I'm the only one buying them. Visions of Mana physical coming out at the end of the month, btw. I suggest everybody pick it up.

It’s not just Xbox I work at GameStop in Buffalo as a second job for the discount to help with my habit lol. When nhl came out last year we got 7 copies in. 4 for ps5, 1 for ps4 and 2 for series x. This year when paper Mario came out we got 55 copies when normally any first party nintendo game we usually get 100 plus. I worked at the one in the galleria mall at that time and it’s one of the more busier GameStop’s in Buffalo and still not getting many physical games. I’m a small time collector actually inspired by this channel many years ago to get into collecting and what I have to pay for retro games is insane and now new games either don’t pan out or I gotta pay $80 for a code and not have anything for the shelf.

I really enjoyed this.

Weirdly I have been collecting Xbox One games more where I never had in the past. I got Flight sim, Wanted: Dead and the Inside/Limbo collection. I feel like I will buff it up more, but yeah, it’s kind of the generation that won’t ever have value, and will never eclipse my 360 collection, which is my favorite.
