Most of the popular or critically-acclaimed Xbox Live Indie Game titles can be found in the top 1000 user-rated rankings on the Xbox Marketplace. Most of the XBLIG games I bought or plan to buy can be found within the top 1000.
There are a few Xbox 360 indie games though that I found that I liked which I bought or still plan to buy, that were not in the top 1000 user-rated titles. Being outside the top 1000 means that these games are usually unnoticed by prospective buyers. These games are not only underrated, they are left underappreciated.

Top XBLIG Lists - Goodbye Xbox Live Indie Games Part 2
Lists of the top Xbox Live Indie Games are few and far between. Lists like these are important for Xbox 360 owners to be able to decide which indie games to buy.
My Top 13 $3 XBLIG Games - Goodbye Xbox Live Indie Games Part 1
On September 9, 2015, Microsoft announced that the Xbox Live Indie Games or XBLIG program would cease to exist sometime in September 2017. At that time, they did not provide an exact date. This prompted me to hurriedly buy a few indie games before the end of July.
How I Bought Burnout Paradise: The Ultimate Box, the Asian version for the XBOX 360

How I Found Burnout Paradise: The Ultimate Box, the Asian version for the XBOX 360
After I found Burnout Paradise: The Ultimate Box at Data Blitz at Park Square, I decided to buy it. I waited a few days before I went back to Data Blitz the day before the start of the Holy Week break. I looked for the game and it was still there on the shelf. I brought it to the cash register to buy the game. I asked one last time just to make sure, if the game could play on a U.S. XBOX 360 console. This time the cashier checked and replied that she couldn't say for sure.
That stopped me cold. I asked her to verify that again so she checked and she said again that she really couldn't say for a fact that the game could play on a U.S. XBOX 360 console. My head was spinning. I was told that the game could play on a U.S. console and now they weren't so sure. Now I had my doubts whether the game was indeed region free.

How I Found Burnout Paradise: The Ultimate Box, the Asian version for the XBOX 360
I had been looking to buy online, the Asian version of Burnout Paradise: The Ultimate Box, but I was somewhat hesitant due to the combination of the prices and because I didn't know if it would play on my U.S. XBOX 360. I couldn't take the risk because I couldn't afford it.
Through a series of fortunate decisions and occurences, I was able to find the game locally and at a cheaper price. Even though I still wasn't 100% sure that the game could play on my XBOX 360, I put my faith on the information shown on Ebay and other online stores, took the risk, and bought the game.

Goodbye Original XBOX Live
On April 15, 2010, Microsoft discontinued XBOX Live support for the original XBOX (aka XBOX1). After April 15, owners of XBOX1 games will no longer be able to download XBOX DLC and XBOX game patches from either the XBOX 360 or the old XBOX.
They also won't be able to play online multiplayer gaming sessions anymore. XBOX 360 games will not be affected and users playing these XBOX 360 games may in fact benefit from the removal of support for the old XBOX.
Two months back, Marc Whitten, the XBOX Live general manager, announced on February 5, in an official letter to the XBOX Live community, that XBOX Live support for the original XBOX would be discontinued.

225mb Free Space Left on XBOX 360 Internal Memory After System Update
When I first got my Jasper XBOX 360 with 512mb internal memory, I discovered that the capacity of the internal memory unit was actually 451mb with 323mb free space left. After my first system update without the hard disk attached, I found that the free space remaining went down to 225mb or around half of the internal memory capacity.
I expected this to dwindle further after the latest system update. However, the free space of the internal memory unit remained at 225mb after the update. This led me to believe it's currently normal to have around 225mb free space left after the latest system updates.
