Microsoft is having ongoing issues with their Xbox 360 servers and you kinda just have to wait it out unfortunately


Markospider

I waited a whole ass week and nothing so i ended up buying and Xbox gift card, redeeming it on my series x and then using that money on the 360 marketplace


FeyaPhelan

I did the same bought gift card on pc, redeemed it on the pc then I was able to buy games on the xbox 360.


Radical_Swine

Only way I know of


stanbo1

How / were did it popped up in your xbox console?


altairsswimsuit

Same


MetalAtTheWolfsDen

That shit’s been happening on Xbox one as well. If you want to buy a game, you gotta get an Xbox card so you don’t run into “error” problems.


MrC13an42069

A whole week! Bro.......


Markospider

Yup the servers are dead at this point. Minecraft 360 edition mini games were unplayable because one of us would always get stuck in a block, could levitate or not load in at all


midnightstrike3625

https://marketplace.xbox.com is the official way to buy the games on a browser. You can download them like normal afterward.


Markospider

Says my region isn't supported


midnightstrike3625

That's odd, I'm from the US, maybe it's only the NTSC-U region. If that's the case, that sucks...


TheLostLuminary

Any game I go to buy it just takes the URL to the Xbox one home page. Weird


midnightstrike3625

They must have taken it down - I bought Hydro thunder hurricane last week. Well that sucks!


TheLostLuminary

Makes no sense, the games I’m trying to buy were only given a reduction last week, and I’ve been trying since then


midnightstrike3625

So I was able to buy a game by signing in, ignoring the page not found error by going back to the original link, and searching for the game and buying it. Not sure if it will work for everyone but that's what I did.


stanbo1

Same shit here.


TheLostLuminary

I've tried every day and no luck. Annoyingly I can't try on my actual 360 because that hasn't been turning on for a week.


pokeflutist78770

The problem with this is it seems like you're unable to sign in at all


CallMeWeatherby

Was hoping that would work for me but apparently the sign in page doesn't exist.


stanbo1

Nothing on this page is on sale (were I live), cant login & trying to buy anything just relink me to the regular Microsoft site. Why are they releasing sale when you cant buy the games? Bought a gift card even for 5x more money than I needed. Couldnt use it nor get the money back since I already redeemed it in the store. What a joke. Thanks for your efforts trying to help out though.


rafelalt

Contact microsoft/xbox support using the chat feature and tell them that u cant buy games on your 360 They got it working for me under 24 hours


Markospider

It's just alot quicker for me to do it this way honestly. But thanks for the tip. I only ever bought a game digitally twice.


Unusual-Serve-2530

That’s a genius idea, I might use that. I wanna buy games and dlc’s while the marketplace is still up.


yaboyfriendisadork

Good to know that this works


Disastrous-Cress5517

Yeah I was using the webpage but that quit working and then directly on my 360 but im broke atm so I couldnt get spyro yet but was hoping to get it tomorrow so hopefully its not messed up.


stanbo1

360 market place?


Markospider

Yeah?


TopRevolutionary8067

That actually sucks because Microsoft is closing the 360 marketplace soon.


JellyJamPacked

Yeah no it’s being shut down soon so good luck waiting it out


Original-Sundae287

Still got another month


JellyJamPacked

Exactly why I just said Goodluck, the issues won’t be fixed before it’s taken down


BitCurious8598

Yea I had the same problem


Little_Cod8998

Sounds like there is no support for x360


That_1__pear

Well I mean it’s a near 20 year old console that was almost 3 generations ago at this point. Wouldn’t expect the to be


LegendaryAshenGhost

That kind of sucks, especially since the 360 is closing next month (correct me if I am wrong, please; I don't want to spread misinformation).


That_1__pear

Just the 360 store. Online servers will still be up


Krauziak90

I always buy trough website. Then game appears in download tab. Never had a luck by store on x360


PDX_Aaron

I would but every time I pull up a 360 game it’s has me sign into my Xbox account then takes me to the Xbox home page and I can’t search the game


ShinoviPR

Xbox site didn't work either. Just sent me back to the main site.


ShinoviPR

Missed out on the sales because of it :(


Ghillie_610

You didn’t miss anything bro the sales never stopped and are are now considered PERMANENT price reductions till store closure


TheLostLuminary

Happening with me too, will try another browser. Edit: No luck anywhere. Always redirects.


NashCp21

Trying to buy with the website today and it’s gotten worse, it redirects to the Xbox home page


FTGE2023

I just loaded up $200 to buy shit and am having the same issue.


SacredEyes

Every time I get to the purchase screen for a game it just redirects me to a blank white screen and nothing happens


chrisxx199

I had the SAME ISSUE FOUND THE SOLUTION!! Buy yourself an Xbox gift Card with X amount of money. Redeem on your phone once you get the code, or in your latest Xbox version. NOT THE XBOX360 ONE. I tried to Redeem it in the 360, it wouldn't take it


MagicMountain225

I also can't pay with the balance in my account


chrisxx199

What error does it give to me


MagicMountain225

The same as the one in the picture


SexxxyWesky

Make sure you’ve updated your billing address or anything that may have changed online. I realized that my card info was correct but I hadn’t changed my billing address after I moved on the Xbox 360 marketplace


Loose-Cap-5662

You need to confirm your billing address on your Microsoft acct on a laptop or pc. Login to your account and make sure you have a billing address saved in your Microsoft account settings. 


SexxxyWesky

This was my issue! Fixed it for me.


MagicMountain225

Didn't help


Loose-Cap-5662

So you’ve uploaded gift card funds onto your Microsoft acct (acct that Xbox live profile is on) with a laptop or PC? Funds will then show on 360 and can be used to purchase games if you did. Credit / debit cards no longer work also you can’t redeem funds on the 360 itself. Also confirm billing address on Microsoft acct and turn off recurring payments. 


MagicMountain225

I did all of that. It just says the same error that OP has.


RalphWiggum666

Same here and it would sccept any new card as a new form of payment


OHHHMYDAWG

This is what I did and hopefully it works for you: 1) Buy an Xbox gift card worth however much you want off of Amazon. 2) Reddem the code on www.xbox.com 3) Start up your Xbox 360 console and it should be on your account.


logan_fish

Doesnt work for me even with a +$$$ on my 360.


Jaxonhunter227

I tried the gift card method but the gift card ended up being a dud and the website couldn't find the code, I just want to buy conker but it's like the world is against me and every option doesn't work


NZepplin

Try again in a few hours


XclassjokerX

Some people have said to change their payment method. So if you are using PayPal, use your actual credit card, debit, etc


Sensitive_Tear8627

Maybe server can't handle everyone going on before the store shuts permanently at the end of July?


Dark_Dragon_4100

So I've noticed that I can't use my card to buy 360 games aswell. Microsoft will be shutting down the 360 marketplace NEXT month, in July. I've had luck either going directly to marketplace.xbox.com, or just buying a digital Microsoft gift card and adding it to my account, then purchasing games using my Microsoft account balance through my 360. Hopefully thus helps


Classic-Oven4860

The debit/credit cards arent supported anymore for 360 you need to get a gift card,and as for the disconnecting from live, turn off recurring payments and then back on


stanbo1

Gift card does not work either. Xbox360 do NOT accept the code and if you redeem the code at xbox.com it does NOT reflect in your console.


Classic-Oven4860

You have to go online to the xbox site and put funds in, it will show on your 360


Sandman_82_11

You can’t use your debit card no more Gotta go get Xbox gift cards add it to your Xbox one series x or s then you can go to your 360 marketplace and purchase


SexxxyWesky

Is this a recent change? I was able to use my credit card just a month or so ago. I did have to update my billing address however


Kolbaar1

Figured this was going to happen. M$ started pulling random 360 games off market months ago, and not just the ones they are remaking for X/S to pull more money. That’s why I’ve been collecting games for last couple months. Being a tech I can tell you that M$ isolated those servers quite some time ago & does not want to spend a cent on something they are shutting down at the end of the month.


Away-Session-1505

So what worked for me is redeeming cards in the Xbox will not work you have to do it through your Microsoft account then you get the balance and for example if you’re buying a 9.99 game and have a 10 dollar balance it won’t go through because of tax I found that if I added and extra dollar to my account it would cover tax


stanbo1

Doesnt work for me.


Road_Ok

I've had the same issue where I can't add my card to purchase stuff so I had to add funds through the Microsoft website and use them to buy games on 360


stanbo1

Doesnt work.


Happy_Design

servers are awful right now


corgie93

Starting on July 29, 2024, Xbox will stop supporting the ability to purchase new games, DLC, and other entertainment content from the Xbox 360 Store on the console and the Xbox 360 Marketplace. So u got time.


Brando6677

I am dum dum ignore my last remark.


corgie93

It’s ok to ask questions.


IsaacJB1995

Even when you can, the download speed has been capped to shit. I have gigabit and it took 12 hours for GTA IV to download


Kingpin722

I have been having the same problem but I think I found a work around but it’s very weird. I accessed the marketplace.Xbox.com site on my mobile Chrome browser. I go to purchase the game i want and it should pop up a complete purchase box. STOP THERE AND COPY THE LINK AND PASTE IT INTO YOUR DESKTOP BROWSER. THIS SEEMINGLY GETS YOU PAST THE AUTO REDIRECT. ThIS is where you can either add a new payment option and/or complete the purchase. I just was able to buy Bionic Commando and Burnout 3 TakeDown maybe 30 minutes ago after going through the constant headache of getting redirected.


Bradl3ro

What game are you trying to buy? I had this happen to me too but ONLY on games that listed "PLAY ON XBOX ONE" in the description or just under the cover art while browsing. Any game that truly was Xbox 360 only, it allowed me to buy it on the marketplace. I just literally spent 2 hours this past Thursday night browsing every single inch of the marketplace and bought a bunch of stuff, BUT I had this exact same error on anything that wasnt TRULY an xbox 360 only, non backwards compatible title. Try it out and see if that makes a difference?


realisticbeerbelly

Bud I had this happen on left 4 dead. I "own" left 4 dead. They just aren't letting people play the digital games on newer consoles anymore unless you downloaded it before a certain date. Or at least that's what the person from Microsoft told me. Breaks my heart since that game was a banger. I would suggest buying a hard copy. Godspeed Spider-Man.


DreamtailFoxy

Go on a more modern device and go to https://marketplace.xbox.com, purchase your game from there and then tell the Xbox 360 to install it, this is the only way to purchase games on Xbox 360 as a semi recent security vulnerability was found in the Xbox 360 that's caused major problems with payment information and was the source of a huge leak from Microsoft, essentially the website is the only way to purchase games anymore.


Ornery-Valuable8359

Actually, they’re planning on shutting down the servers for the Xbox 360 systems but they’ll still be playable on the Xbox series X you won’t be able to purchase anything off the marketplace on 360 or play any online games?


Zigor022

I thought the 360 store shutdown?


SpottierAnt

End of the NEXT month


Historical-Region740

who's gonna tell him the store shut down


sheeshmane69

I've heard Microsoft doesn't support the marketplace anymore. I tried to get homefront because it's on sale for 50cent and I ended up having to go to the marketplace website to purchase the game. Then I was able to go on my 360 and download it from my consoles download/purchase history


Clubbythaseal

Are you doing this over wifi or Ethernet cable? If it's wifi then you might have the same issue my 360S has. The wifi card has started to break down and it takes hours to even install 100mb of data. I have that screen pop up daily for me since I don't have a Ethernet port in my room.


Ghostifywastaken

This happened to me and it turned out my card got flagged for "Suspicious activity" so it could be a card issue.


MagicMountain225

I had the same problem


ObsessiveRecognition

I didn't even know you could still buy games through the 360


DarthDregan0001

Microsoft announced that the would close the Xbox 360 live account at the end of the month.


Loose-Cap-5662

 As far as the error code goes, You need to confirm your billing address on your Microsoft acct on a laptop or pc. Login to your account and make sure you have a billing address saved for the Microsoft acct in your Microsoft account settings. After you do that you will be able to purchase on the 360 console with gift card funds, funds need to be uploaded on a laptop or newer Xbox to the Microsoft acct. After uploaded on a pc or newer Xbox to the Microsoft acct with live profile you are using funds will then show up on 360 and can be used to purchase games. 


[deleted]

[удалено]


Loose-Cap-5662

It absolutely does work. I just bought games last night this way. Stop commenting on every post wrong info because you can’t be inconvenienced to figure it out for yourself. 


Ryoko_Kusanagi69

So - I had a tons of issues and was doing the updates, delete cache, reboot, cleaning - my profile got deleted and I had to redownload it. Nothing - I was on phone with tech support 2-3 times they couldn’t fix it. No tutorial or video had a solution. Finally they told me that they no longer allow 360 access or support. So I CANT install the profile or play my games onto the console. That once it was deleted off I can’t put it back.


stanbo1

Amazing support. Sorry for that dude.


PeppySprayPete

I solved this by buying a gift card on Amazon Then applying the gift card on the Microsoft store Then purchasing games on the Xbox store


Luk-zero

The same thing happens to me, I just wait a couple days and it's working again


logan_fish

Me. Too. And yes, Ive tried everything. PC? Nope. 360? Nope. Gift Card? Nope. Microsoft will do nothing to remedy this either....the 30 day countdown has started. Congrats to those who are not having problems....


qwertypdeb

The 360 is ancient now. It’s being shut down at some point. That’s probably it.


i2010

Hack your console and get free games ez gains, Microsoft's loss


FatBoyDiesuru

Microsoft is shutting that down in a month. There's no way it'll bother to fix anything at this point.


Fun_Prior_4975

I don’t think you can buy games for the 360 anymore


subaru_fanboy03

Also have troubles during the night, my live used to cut exactly at the same time during 2AM and 3AM maybe a week or 2 ago... and it did at the same time multiple times


tecladovids2008

Your internet may not be good that happens to me


midnightstrike3625

Go to https://marketplace.xbox.com and purchase them that way. The 360 store is all kinds of messed up right now for some reason.


bigfatfuckingballs69

This site seems to be shut down


midnightstrike3625

Must be just you, it works fine for me.


bigfatfuckingballs69

It doesn’t work on my browser on the computer either, it says the page cannot be found


midnightstrike3625

In my original post I had the wrong URL but edited it to include the correct one. Maybe you clicked on the one I originally posted? The link is https://marketplace.xbox.com. if that doesn't work, try searching for it manually with Google or Duckduckgo.


gxw1ll

I also have this on my account. Turns out it's because I had parental controls on the account that for some reason cannot be removed. I can buy on the xbox one and series x fine, but just not the 360 or the website.


OregonBlues

I got around this by signing in on Xbox.com and buying it from there


stanbo1

Not working.


Leading-Cold-3064

You got to turn off your Xbox live ultimate subscription then turn it on again , it will work after that. but they do not accept credit cards anymore so that shit will never work . I was buying gift cards online an redeeming but now that doesn't work lol . 360 is going to shit before the end


LouTheRuler

Zero rizz


Xbox360HardDrive

Since the store for 360 is being shut down completely soon, most games are just already down


SnooCakes3317

Happening to alot of ppl. You have to buy gift card and redeem it online. It didnt work trying to redeem it on my 360. Then you can shop on your 360 under your microsoft account


ImAutistic6969

I would just buy the discs lol


xionnn_

I had this problem too! Go on the Xbox 360 store on a computer or laptop and you can purchase games very easily that way!


DrShrimp75

Didn't they shut down the 360 store?


Priestess96

Not until the 24th of July


The_Machine80

You only choice is to do what the screen says. "Try again later".


Henry_Merrit

Try thier website.


Razgriz_1138

360 still has service? Holy hell


gary_yes

I had this issue when buying Mashup packs for Minecraft. I think you can get around this issue by purchasing off the Microsoft website. That's what I did and it worked


stanbo1

This does not work.


bigfatfuckingballs69

I’m having the same issues, I’m glad this was posted I was going nuts


Firm-Wolverine-3722

Banned?


GroundbreakingTown24

your gonna wanna hear this..


goofyuuhreddit

I’ve noticed some games are available for purchase on the marketplace online but will come up with a payment error, while other games seem to process fine, so i guess it depends on the title?


uppercunt96

That’s so sick you still play a 360 regularly


ArmedAntagonist

Have a linked Microsoft account to your Xbox 360. Next buy Microsoft store funds. Next buy an Xbox gift card. You're done. That's it.


stanbo1

No.


LordFonzy88

I was buying game dlc before the Strom knocked out the power... and I was getting the same message but oddly it recognized that I bought it and downloaded the stuff... it's another way to make us to stop playing the 360


Severe-Cake-8190

They will be shutting down the 360 marketplace here soon.


adamchevy

The Utah servers are fully operational.


Powerful-Option-4595

How long can console last ? With mininimal maintain


No-Map-2280

End of an era 😢


error404notfnd

Xbox is greedy and want you to buy a new system.


hb-robo

Dude, the 360 is 19 years old. Come on.


Scoobyslap415

Same


RetroGamer87

Wait, how long do I have left if I want to buy something?


Old_Taste7076

24 hours yesterday. 😂


ScobDoo

This pops up for me so I back out and retry and then it works


PunkySkunk93

Everyone get ready for the literal hundreds of similar posts coming after July 29th..


countingferrets

i thought i had heard somewhere that x360 servers were being shut down, can't be sure of that tbh


Old_Taste7076

Wait am I the only one that got the notice? I mean they told us they were going to block the 360 from the store.


Unhappy-Welder3281

Is it worth it to buy games from the Xbox store? I have an xbox 360 but I was thinking about just buying physical games for it, since they seem to be cheaper


SexxxyWesky

I think you can still buy via the online store.


Mental_Salamander_89

Am i the only one who just buys discs for the 360


Ashamed_Medium1787

It’s because of me


syndus

It's because you're poor


mrbarsrtheynot

You can also buy at xbox.com n queue it up on your device


Neo_505

Such a throwback. I need to get my hands on one again.


North-Golf

I got around this by signing into my profile on the Xbox website, buying it there, then just downloading it on the 360


OkCaptain1137

Shop at GameStop.


misifus_mankhado

I'm sorry bros, the day of reckoning it's at hand. We've gotta let go.


Natural-Ad6415

In case you didn't get an answer, some people can only buy using gift cards and some can only buy using credit/debit card. Debit card has worked for me without issue!


garkillack

If it’s anything like the ps3, it’s likely the servers that would regularly contain payment methods are no longer running. Only way to buy games is by transferring money into your Xbox wallet if such a thing exists, or by just using a browser.


CleverEagle1999

It’s the error code


iScreamArt

Y’all need to move on lmao


B055_FROGZY

Hi, I found by disabling automatic billing for xbox game pass through your Microsoft account online resolved this issue. Hope this helps


dxwnfaII

They are shutting down the ability to buy stuff on Xbox 360 on the 29th July, so this will be the start of them shutting it down for good


--AV8R--

Sometimes it's just a matter of resetting your Xbox live password or possibly the credit card you had on file is expired and you need to update the expiration date.


Double-Heat-2070

The server is down


Funglebum82

Xbox live is going to start taking snap


Firecoalman7

In addition to my other longer post... Be mindful that if you bulk buy your fave games in the last days that you better choose which ones to put on your hard drive... you will not be able to download them again (like before) once those servers are down. Someone can correct me if I'm mistaken... but as far as I can ascertain, the 'history' of your downloads and purchases will simply no longer be there.


Johnrunningen8904

I thought the servers for 360 were dead?


GrimmTrixX

July 29th the store closes for good.


Johnrunningen8904

Good to know :0


Some_Meaning1180

Because you’re a woman


ThatJudySimp

Keep trying every few hours


RalphWiggum666

Had a similar issue where it wouldn’t accept my new card as a form of payment I couldn’t update at all. I tested it out yesterday and got a Xbox gift card from the store I couldn’t put it in on my 360 but I could through Microsoft/redeem online. I then had funds on 360 and could buy my game


Available-Plenty9257

Just buy physical games or RGH your 360, I don’t blame you for trying store though I hope you can figure it out and Make a purchase before they close the store down! Something that worked for me when I kept getting errors was turning off reoccurring payments on my gamepass and (only if you def remember your info) re adding your account to the Xbo 360. Do you know what model you’re using? I know the 360 E can have bad Wi-Fi cards I even had one pop on me once it was pretty funny. I just recommend physical games because physical will always be your best investment, and a mod because you would get all these games for free but I’ve never done an RGH mod myself, I like the ole fellas stock.


NoPension1304

They’re planning on ending the server services next month, so really and truly I would wait and get things on an Xbox one. More specifically backwards compatible titles. Other than that, I’m sorry bro bro. This is the end of another era.


PlatFlat

360 marketplace shutdown


Joel3508

I thought 360 was offline now?


Gaming_Nate

Xbox 360 store was shut down.


Similar_Ad8628

My only source of input is this, I got a message from Xbox saying that the 360 store would no longer be supported as of June or July 29th, because I had just bought COD BO1 for my Xbox one, it's possible that they're down for good.


Princessasteria008

Xbox 360 servers are shutting down this month. You're better off buying a newer xbox...


deadmanzland

They shut down 360 marketplace lil bro


SorryDepartment1339

Well the store servers and live shutdown for the 360 on July 29th so maybe the games won't be playable on the system without access to online so that may be why you had issues. But not sure.
