>>719617195The Red Ring of Death
Imagine being trapped in a basement for a year with an adequate supply of canned food, running water, and a CFW Xbox 360 with a 2TB full of gamesI'm elated just thinking about it
>>719617195cod and halo and gears of war
>>719617195It was till around 2012 when the corpo rot fully set in.
Voice chat in certain games was fucking AWFUL but I miss it.
How did people get the red ring of death? I never did playing it semi-regularly for years. Does it have something to do with standing it up vertically? Because I always left it laying down
>>719617682It is explained somewhere in this video why it happened to the early model 360s.https://youtu.be/z2d6IMBS8oY?si=v4LqeZ5eNRub0Ypt
>>719617682It was a design issue and you either got it or you didn't.
>>719617195PlayStation 2 was peak gaming fr
>>719617682it took like 10 years for my 360 to finally get it and i played every day for hours for 7 of those years. some people were just unlucky
>>719617682MS sold a console knowing that it was defective and that recalling it would cost them billions of dollars. So they cost fixed every console that was sent back to them for free.

Ive finished close to 200 games that were released on Xbox 360 literally bottomless well of kino.>Errrmmm consider: 7th gen badFalse.
>>719617195>over 50% failure rate>the normalization of paying for online
>>719617195Ps3 had free online and a better UI.
>>719617195Peak controller too
>>719617439I've got a 10 TB of 360 and OG Xbox games hooked up to me eckybawks. It's a Hell of a way to live. I didn't realize it at the time, but the fact the 360 hardware was supported so long is insane, considering it only had 512MB of unified RAM.
>>719623485Impressive. It's pretty amazing what you can run on that hardware with good optimization. I have a Ps3 Slim with an SSD and a GPU overclock. It's basically an unofficial Ps3 Pro now. Now If the CPU is ever overclockable that would be even better.
>>719619148Console gaming should have ended with the ps2
>>719617682I got 3 ring of deaths in total.
>>719617195>2007 found it squatting at E3, groaning. Every multiplat appealed to a broader audience than the one before, and performed worse. By the time 2009 came around it was releasing brown military shooters. The more it hyped, the more it ported, but the more it ported, the poorer it grew, and its thirst sent it crawling to E3 to suck up more hype.
>>719617682It was a problem in the earlier models. People shit on microsoft which is reasonable but they actually spent over a billion dollars fixing the issue which is admirable
>>719624119You mean sony, then microsoft with the xbox 360. Nothing after these truly landed.
>Xbox 360 is a mere 2 and a half months away from being retroRuh roh...
>>719625245>D-Pad>Dreamcast layout, but no hall-effect>Dual analog gimmick even after 6th gen showed that it is worthless for 3D>The only 7th gen controller with no motion controls>Playing PC games on controller instead of with modern KBM mouselook that left console ability to play 3D games far behindIt was retro in 2005, but for the past 20 years most consoles have been retro.
