A number of game titles and associated add-ons will be removed from the Xbox 360 Marketplace in a select set of regions per title. These removals will start on February 7, 2023.
Once purchased, you can always redownload these games or any other previously purchased games from your Xbox 360 Download History.
Daytona USA - Classic arcade racing game. This is a bit expanded from the arcade version as it includes some new modes. Challenge, time trial, and everyone's favorite... Karaoke.
Left 4 Dead 1 & 2 - super fun co-op zombie killing game by Valve. Back 4 Blood was inspired by these games... and these games do it a lot better.
Jet Set Radio - AMAZINGLY fun game. Hi-Fi Rush and Sunset Overdrive are current comparables. If you like over-the-top stories, skateboarding/rollerblading, and awesome music - you'll love it.
Lost Odyssey - Very fun Final Fantasy-like JRPG. Don't bother with it if you don't like JRPGs. If you do, definitely buy.
The Orange Box - Awesome collection of Valve games including Everyone should own this.
Games included:
Half-Life 2
Half-Life 2:Episode 1
Half-Life 2: Episode Two
Team Fortress 2
Portal
I'm sure people will have other opinions, but this is a great start.
(I would have included Castle Crashers because it's an amazing beat-em-up, but you can get the remaster on current gen.)

Accurate, but also be aware that some of these games (like Daytona USA) are ONLY available from the 360 marketplace. So once it is delisted, it is gone.

Also gonna give Breakdown a shot. I've heard terrible things about it, but once it's gone, it's gone.
Never finished it (got difficult) but I thought it was a nice change of pace. One thing that stuck out to me is that you see yourself interact with items, it is a nice touch. Very annoying that it's digital xbox version is going away, there isn't a PC version, and Xbox hardware is unreliable. Original Xbox is maintainable but has the solder joints that weaken on the power supply where the cord goes in, clock capacitor eventually leaks, and it's HDD cannot be replaced without modding. Tons of problems with the 360 from my experience - I have owned 3: one RROD, 2nd freezes, and my final one recently stopped showing anything over HDMI. I gave up on Xbox consoles after that, then watched my buddy's Xbox One internal hdd fail last year, it wouldn't go past a loading screen. Fixable, but makes me wonder how long the rest of the hardware will last / how difficult is it to maintain.
Lost Odyssey is so unfortunate. It never ported anywhere else, so once it's delisted, it's dead everywhere. I'd happily grab it for like $5-10, but $25? Ugh.

I've got three original 360s, two are modded (from when that required a JTAG solder job), all are going strong other than having to replace an external power supply. Luckily those are cheap and easily obtainable. Wireless controllers are actually becoming harder to acquire.

Thats the going rate physically so its probably the best price you will get after its delisted. I won't be surprised if it jumps up to over priced or scalped type prices in the future.

Lost Odyssey will still be available on the Xbox store after it is delisted on the 360 marketplace. Last time it went on sale it was $9.99.
You have to find the old 360 Marketplace links to make the purchases. Unfortunately, the Xbox website only uses the new format and is unable to link to the proper purchases.
How are you being able to download games from the website ? I got lucky and got Daytona USA but it took a lot of timing . I'm trying to get Jet Set Radio but to no avail ..

Of course you won't be able to go online or play multiplayer, not that most of these game servers are still operational anyway
How did you buy The Orange Box? It tells me "not available separately" when I try.
Never mind, got it sorted out.
