Alright, let’s talk about something that’s been on my mind lately – snagging a copy of NCAA Football 10 for my old Xbox 360. I’ve been itching to get back into some college football action, and this game has always been a favorite.
So, first things first, I started hitting up the usual spots online. You know, checking out prices and availability. I figured I might as well see what the damage to my wallet was gonna be.
I started with some big names like Amazon and Walmart, just to get a general idea. Prices were all over the place, I saw some copies going for about 10 bucks, others closer to 15. Nothing too crazy, but I wanted to make sure I was getting the best deal possible, ’cause every dollar counts, right?
Then I thought, “Why not check out eBay?” It’s usually a goldmine for older games. And bingo! I found a bunch of listings there. I saw some folks selling it for around $9.99, $9.30, even one for $12.65 with free shipping. eBay always has sellers competing on price, which is great for us buyers.
I spent a good chunk of time browsing through the listings, comparing prices, checking seller ratings, all that good stuff. It’s always a good idea to do your homework before making a purchase, especially online. I looked at the lowest prices and made sure they had free shipping. Can’t beat that combo.
- Browse Listings: Compared prices and checked seller ratings.

- Set a Target Price: Used a website to set a target price and get notified of price drops.
Doing Some Extra Research
After getting a good sense of the prices on eBay, I decided to dig a little deeper. I hit up some forums, like Reddit and even EA’s official forums, just to see if there were any other tips or deals I was missing. Plus, I wanted to make sure there weren’t any issues with playing the game on my 360. Some of the posts mentioned that newer versions wouldn’t work on older consoles. I wanted to play this game, and I wanted it cheap.
I did notice some confusion on the forums. People were talking about getting NCAA Football 25, the new one, and not being able to play it on their Xbox One. Turns out, that game is only for the new consoles, like the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. But my goal was NCAA Football 10 for the Xbox 360, so that was great for me.
I also checked out a price comparison site that tracks the historical prices of games. It’s a cool tool to see if you’re getting a good deal based on what others have paid in the past. The site showed that the prices I was seeing were pretty much in line with the usual trends for NCAA Football 10. They even had a feature where you could set a target price, and they’d notify you if it dropped below that. Pretty neat, right?
Finally, I settled on a listing that looked good. A decent price, free shipping, and a seller with solid feedback. I pulled the trigger and made the purchase. Now, I’m just waiting for it to arrive. Can’t wait to dive back into some college football action!
So, yeah, that’s my little adventure in hunting down NCAA Football 10 for the Xbox 360. It’s always fun to revisit old favorites, and with a little bit of effort, you can usually find them without breaking the bank.
