>tfw you will never experience getting Xbox 360 on release day back in 2005why even live bros, it must have felt godly
halo 3 is the greatest game of all time
>>722421942I just set my xbox 360 back up yesterday
>>722421942I still have a picture of my brothers and I opening a 360 on Christmas day in 2005.We were traveling space and time.
>buy 360>a year later disc drive fucks up and shortly after gets RRoD >never buy microsoft product again
>>722421942my uncle got me one and he had call of duty 2 on the tv full blast and the neighbors called the cops
>arcade editionWasn’t that released in fucking 2009? Shit was designed to RROD. Get an elite
>>722422224I'm so jealouswhat games did you play?
>>722422306The 360's launch titles weren't that great, if I remember right. I think we only had Project Gotham Racing 3 and Kameo: Elements of Power at the time.Kameo was a great Zelda clone though. I'd like to play it again.
>>722422672Did you hook it up to the internet from day one?
>>722421942yeah getting the red ring of death must've felt godly
>>722422745Not from day one. My parents were really wary about online subscriptions at the time.But back then, you would get a free month of Xbox Live with every new Microsoft account/Gamertag you made, so when Halo 3 came out the following Fall, I made a new account so I could play online, and did the same thing like two or three more times so I could keep playing. The last one I made is still my Microsoft account to this day.
>>722421942I got mine in 2008, but I played in 2006-2007 I was blown out about gears of war coopertive mode and lost planet snow levels
I was a snot nosed little shit and asked for a 360 like a week before Christmas. No idea how my parents made it happen, but they did.
>>722423251awesome, that must have felt godly
Wish i was there for halo 3 at launch
>>722421942I always wondered why I had Forza and Marvel Ultimate Alliance. I guess I just forgot getting it with the console.
Didn't the first run of 360's lack an HDMI port or was that just the arcade?
My parents refused to buy me an Xbox 360 and got me a PS3. I was so upset I couldn’t play halo 3 with my friend
>>722423563Yeah, the early ones were A/V only which is why it will be a retro console in a month and a half.
>>722423563I'm pretty sure there was a basic and a premium model on launch and only the premium one had HDMI
>>722423713Composite AV had HD capability, if you used the plugs right
>>722421942Launch 360 + Oblivion was EXTREME comfy. You just had to be there.>>722421998Possibly (yes)
>>722423904Everything except the super slim supported component, which could do 1080i. Even though there were a bunch of bundles that included the component cables instead of basic composite I imagine most people just used them as composite anyway.One nice thing about the 360's component cable is the physical SD/HD toggle switch on it. If you switched TVs a lot you didn't have to worry about it being stuck at like 720p or something while you're trying to hook it up to a CRT, which was kind of a problem with the Wii.
>>722421942I couldn't imagine how bad it would get. I used to think gaming was going to be paradise in the future but now you have to be a absolute drooling retard to play on xbox even if you are a normie which says something.
>>722424130Still pissed at the Wii's anamorphic widescreen bullshit to this day.
>>722422286>Shit was designed to RRODnever happened to me
>>722424130Great photo.
>>722421942I didn't get it until 2006, because my family were poorfags, but honestly it wasn't that bad because the first units had RROD. I don't think any console release has topped this with the spectacle that it really was. The freedom to trash talk, online multiplayer being pushed, pack-in mics, the deals microsoft cut to bring awesome exclusive titles to it.
>always wanted a 360>cousin has a ps3>he gets suspended for using weed at school>aunt gives me his ps3>never got a 360I missed out on Halo but oh well
>>722421942>you will never experience getting Xbox 360 on release day back in 2005And that's a really good thing. Imagine buying one and getting the red ring of death.
>>722424172I am that retard. I have stuck with the Xbox brand for 20 years now. It's just depressing to see how far things have fallen and how little Microsoft actually gives a shit anymore. The Series X has been on the market now 5 years and doesn't even have even one exclusive game. Unless you are someone while is already invested in the ecosystem there is little reason to actually own an Xbox in 2025 particularly since they just gutted Game Pass, the one thing people actually liked about the console
https://youtu.be/t9sgxxyc48E
Those component cables
>>722421942Thank the gods
This was what I got as a kid and a copy of Halo 3. I will never forget how fresh & futuristic it felt. I do wish I could've been an adult back then to experience it but I suppose I might not have the appreciation for it that I do today.
>>7224248312006 units also had the same RROD issue. It didn't get resolved until the very final fat revision.
>>722425118I got that one too, it was really fun. I agree with your last statement.
>Rent Crackdown>It still has the Halo 3 beta key>finish Crackdown in like 2 days and play so much H3
>>722421942i camped out in front of my best buy the night beforeonly time i did something like that evermom brought donuts the next morning, shit was so cash
such a good time period to be a gamer man, it was cozy af. Gaming peaked there. Goofy no name YT channels, emo bitches.... fucking hell man.
>>722424914>I missed out on Halono, you missed out on xbox live party chatsthe social aspect of xbox(live) MOGGED anything playstation tried to do.
>>722425391exactly, I was a PC gamer back then but I wish I pulled the trigger on X360, I was so close to getting one back in 2008
>>722421942>it must have felt godlyfor about 30 minutes before red ringed haha
>>722425406100% me and all the middle school boys would hop on that shit after getting home from school and play gaylo, talk shit, talk about bitches. It was fucking awesome dude.
>>722422262I went through like 4 of the fucking things before I gave up on the console. It was wild seeing then go for like 75 bucks at radio shack at one point.
>>722425406>get home>check messages>M2AF need ppl for halo customs>join up>play duck hunt, fat kid, zombie invasion, jenga, etc. all nightIt was a better time.
>There was no shot of getting one>Until my cousin happened to win it during a raffle and since he didn't care about games he gave it to meBiggest luck out of my life
>>722425391late 2008 - late 2009 is a odd period of time. Feels like a snow globe figure in time.
>>722425518this, cycle in some MW2, some oblivion while you stay in the chat with the bros.... fucking hell man. Add in some random XBLA shit you'd get from your bing searches, or begging your parents for to great success because it was cheaper. Then we got a fucking resurgence with reach. man oh man.
>>722421942Never owned a three-sissy or any other xbox for that matter. Not opposed to them but one never turned up into my hands at a convenient time for a reasonable price. Too few exclusives to actively seek it out. Shame og xbox emulation still barely works on many games, I'd try a few.
>>722425475>>722425518>join a clan>there is 1 actual female>conversation dies as soon as they go offline
>>722421942I got it for christmas that year and i can't even remember what game i played on it first. The first xbox was more memorable
>>722425772lmao what kind of gay simp clan were you in.
>>722425406kino
>>722425697>resurgence with reach. man oh man.reach custom/party games cant be replicated
I remember vaguely my xbl friends sandshadow, cecil eddy, my buddy in middleschool's halo clan crimson shock drop force (odst ripoff)... the fucking puerto rican midget we would get worked up in the party chat.
I almost got one, but I've searched the forums first to see what its like, and people told me about RRoD so I passedwas it a mistake brehs? it was back in 2009 or so
>>722421942i dunno i got one used in 08 and didnt have a memory card for weeks and it was still awesome playing frontlines fuel of warfuck gaming sucks now lolway too tied into gambling mtx woke and surveilance
>>722425897honestly come to think of it, we got a second wind for everything great about it before the console died, reach, blackops, skyrim.
>>722425819sorry you only experienced a sausage party your whole life.
Forza 2 was so fucking goodActually blew GT away
>>722425992oh you fucked up big time dude. You deadass did not have the social environment it had on PC in any way shape or form, not even ps3 had it. Actually that peaked with this console.
>>722425391goofy youtube was thereid say gaming peak around 2012 or 2013after that it went to shit with it kind came back 2016 to 2020 but then it died again and it was only ever singleplayer that was good againonline died post like 2013 lolall i played in the ps4 era was modded beth games destiny 1 and oldschool runescape outside of singleplayer cuz literally everything i liked died
>>722425992Should've waited one more year and gotten the 360slim when it released a year later as for RROD which mainly affected the lowest price point model of the earliest releases. The slim and other models didn't have that issue.
>>722425992If you bought a new one in 2009 it wouldn't have had the RROD issue. They fixed it mid-2008.
>>722425992>Get RRoD>MS fixes it >Takes a few weeksIt wasn't that bad.>t. two RRODs
>>722425770>Lost Odyssey >Fable 2>Blue Dragon >Gears of War 2 and 3>Beautiful Katamari>Crackdown 1 and 2>Saints RowThere are a lot of good Xbox 360 games that are still only playable on Xbox consoles
>>722426220wasn't the issue of RROD a cause of some faulty hardware rather than software related issue due to cheap china parts?
>>722426184the only games that have made me feel good about gaming in recent years was botw, and sonic racing crossworlds. I don't fuck with western slop anymore.
>>722426253They fixed the problem with the later revisions anyway. The Slim systems have no issues and are very reliable
>>722426305sega with all their exclusives, after burner, etc.
>>722426405Yeah, and they fixed the faulty GPU production in the summer of 2008.
>>722426405They used cheap solder that lost connectivity over time.That's why the famous "oven" trick worked, it would remelt the soldering back in place (sometimes).
>be pcfag entire life>only ever own SNES years ago>want to see what all the hype for new consoles is about>finally have $500 to buy a Xbox 360>buy GTA IV and Resident 5, $60 each>play each for about an hour>each one is boring>never turn on Xbox ever again>eventually throw xbox in a dumpster years later when I couldn't even resell it
>>722426592same here, whole 7th gen I played on PC and It was basically just like owning an Xbox 360
>>722426592did everyone clap for you when you threw it away?
>>722426592fake story
>>722426438>>722426220I missed out then. fuck.
>>722426695My wife did. She tried pretty hard to resell it but couldn't even get $50 for it plus all the games. Was a happy day when we threw it in the trash.
>>722425697>Add in some random XBLA shit you'd get from your bing searches, or begging your parents for to great success because it was cheaper.doritos crash course...murder miners... castle miner z before minecraft came outall unbelievable late night experiences
>>722426939>Didn't keep it for guitar hero games.ouch. Those were peak rhythm games.
>>722426493Not much of an exclusive.
>>722426825Its true. I forgot that I did later on get whatever the Star Wars game was on 360 (Darth Vaders son or something? Starkiller maybe?) which was ok, but otherwise I probably didnt have that thing turned on for more than 10-15 hours total, ever.
post yfw Xbox 360 is a retro console now
>>722421942It was the absolute worst console generation. There were zero good games. Everything was just brown & bloom dumbed down military shooters.
when minecraft came to xbox was a really cool experienceplaying it co-op with your friends who had never played it on pc was greatit was a totally different vibe than on pc
>>722427205
Better time
>>722426539It was the underfill that was defective not the solder.
There were no games so I didn't
>>722421998its not the best, but it certainly is ONE of the best
>>722421942Waited in line in front of both Best Buy and Circuit City on launch day and had no luck. Had to buy the $1000 Amazon bundle about a month later premium system with 10 games. At least Need for Speed most wanted was awesome.
>>722421942The 360 managing to take off despite all the problems was a testament to how badly Sony fucked up with the PS3 early on.
>>722426415both are more fun than western AAAbotw needed more big dungeons but its fun
>>722427753>despite all the problemsthere was 1 problem that was only found after launch and didnt affect that many people but word that it could happen spread like wildfire
>turn on 360>SCHREEEEEEEE>RROD
>>722427753lol cus the only problem was the controllers and red rings of deathi got a used one in 08 it worked till 2015
>more and more people realizing the world went to complete shit after occupy wallstreet failed around 2011~There is a 24/7 G4 stream out there where you can watch what the vibes and time was like around 2004-2010 it’s crazy how different things were.
>>722427989>that was only found after launchWhat do you mean by "only"? It was Microsoft's fault for not properly designing and testing the early models. The thing was rushed out.And how the hell do you not consider paying to use your own internet connection problem #2?
>>722421942>posts the 2007 Holiday bundleThat was the best point to get the 360 prior to the S.
360 also introduced me to my one and only mmo which I loved dearly very grateful for that era
>>722428227>And how the hell do you not consider paying to use your own internet connection problem #2?just because you dont like it doesnt mean its flaw of the consolefucking retardalso its a good thing because it gatekept poors
>>722423701Lmafo that's insane. Wasn't the ps3 actually more expensive than the 360 at the time?
>>722428175it went from cynicism to malice really quick
>>722428571Anon if you fall for a scam and refuse to acknowledge it afterward when you should know better, then you're the retard, there's no way around it.>it gatekept poorsThis is true though.
>>722428659yeh but it had a bluray player and was more of a multimedia box than just a videogame playing devicetv/games/movies/musicand even when xbox caught up in terms of software ps3 still had massive hardware advantages + bluraywith xbox you had to cope with hd dvd
>>722428227Xbox Live was by far the best online gaming service at the time. Making players pay to play multiplayer is someone I definitely still support as it does absolute wonders to filter out cheaters and poor third worlders from games. $60 dollars a year for online gaming was totally worth it
>>722428571on one hand i hate the idea paying to just play online but on the other i hate the idea of playing with favela third worlders
>>722428887>>722428659Yes, my parents didn’t watch any movies on it though
>>722428882>scamyou dont know what a scam isjust because you dont think something is worth the asking price doesnt make it a scamit would be a scam if they said it was free but then forced you to paybut they were up front the whole time.(as far as i can find at least)and you can play singleplayerso the console and most of its games and features works without paying for online
>>722421942Xbox 360 the 7th gen console for the brownIt was nice to have a dad who could afford a PS3
>>722421942>gets popular just to normalize paid online>diesfuck xbox and fuck m*crosoft
>>722428175The left itself has unfortunately been focused on identity politics since around the middle of the 20th century when they failed to appeal to the working class and changed strategies. Occupy was an important moment but the cultural stream was steadily going in this direction for a long time. Tumblr was made in 2007, after all.Not to mention foreign powers know that social issues are a huge weak point and it's easier than ever to enflame them in the age of the international internet.
>>722421942I got a 360 for my birthday in 2008The USB port cover broke the next day and it RROD'd a week later. The replacement also came with a broken USB port cover. Years later the disc drive broke.This console had no quality control whatsoever.
>>722429167You're thinking of fraud.Tricking somebody into paying more than they should for something is still a scam.
>>722429857>Trickingwhats the trick?>buy our new console the xbox 360>>ok but whats the catch>you have to pay to play online>>ok :)>>*buys console*>>WHAT THE FUCK I HAVE TO PAY TO PLAY ONLINE!! YOU TRICKED ME!!!fucking stupid retard
>>722428175Back then there was some hope. Now it’s all but completely gone which is among many reasons why zoomers are cynical as fuck.
>>722421942My friend got one launch day and I was super jealous. I didn't end up getting one till 2009 so I missed out on a lot sadly.
>>722430138There was a kid in my class who got Elite in like 2007, when I heard that I cannont lie I felt pretty jelly
>>722426592zoomer revisionism
>>722421942>Red Dead>Oblivion>Blue Dragon>Lost OdysseyI rarely had anything online since we didn't have a computer until I was in my teens, but man there were some great games on the 360.My dad gave me his old one when he bought one of the newer, less RRoD prone models. Best gift ever.
>>722428175real ur pic is when they shut it down, that shit was gaining crazy traction.
>>722421942I didn't get mine on release day. I was 11 when it came out, but got it 2 and a half years later.
Blades UI…
>>722429848>The USB port cover broke the next dayI hate that shit so much. I like the 360 fat but the port covers on the front plate are held on with spit.
>>722422932That barely happened later, especially if you had the Elite.
>>722426305I played lost odyssey and blue dragon on my peecee
Does nobody remember the yellow light of death on the PS3??? Mine got it while I was playing fallout 3 and I never got it working again for longer then 30 minutes
>>722430916How is Xbox 360 emulation these days? Xenia is the one right?
>>722424831I wasn't poor, but didn't get it until 2008. My mom stopped being willing to buy me games as much, so since i had money from a paper route that i'd had, i paid for most of it myself. I got the Elite with Halo 3 and Cod4 for about $600 iirc. I paid $400 and my dad paid the rest.
>>722427083They took this off the network. They also took down cellphone ported games
>>722421942Shit console. Shit generation.
>>722429491retard.
>>722425697Getting up early on the weekends was fun. Get on around 5 or 6 and play alone, may be 1 friend is on with you in chat. You're talking, but playing separate games. As more friends get on you switch games to play together. It would all just organically happen. It was fun.
>>722431082That only really affected the original Fat PS3 models right? I've had a used PS3 for about 10 years now and other than having to replace the Blu Ray drive I haven't had any issues
>>722421942> not packaged with halo 3 or gearsyou got a shit deal
>>722425406halo 3 custom games have some of my best gaming memories of all time.duck hunt, halo, jenga, the jump trick maps. The best thing about MCC is i can relive a lot of them.
>>722428968Playstation refused to replicate the social experience of Xbox Live. I always found it funny how the Japanese couldn't make something like Xbox Live. Americans make the better social platform. Japanese autists in shambles.
>>722431362I'm still pissed they chose to remaster Gears 1 a second time just to sell it to Playstation gamers instead of giving Xbox players a remastered Gears Trilogy.
>>722429491No dude. Most of the world outside the US had Playstation.
>>722431596xbox is just king of making illogical decisions.> no gears trilogy to capitalise on the gears prequel> no halo 3 anniversary> no fable 1-3 collection for PC> No viva pinata for pc
>>722431525>The best thing about MCC is i can relive a lot of them.anon.... we talked about this, you have to let go.move on.
>>722425518Holy fuck this is crazy back in the day people just used to message everyone all the time and custom games were going constantly. The PC culture on Steam is fucking SHIT.
>>722431692>> No viva pinata for pcimagine...
>>722421942thank god I waited (for mommy) to get the elite version, imagine being a pleb and experiencing 3 ring of death, lol
>>722425772In my experience any time an actual woman started playing everyone became too scared to say anything to her.
>>722431324Only very early fat models, yeah. Unlike Microsoft, Sony actually cracked down properly on the YLOD as soon as it became a thing.
I would borrow my friend's 360 back in 2008 just to play Forza Motorsport 3, I just couldn't get enough of this game. I still play it occasionally (I ended up buying the xbox from him because he switched to PS4)
>>722425518It was cool to when you would do a private match and people would just join if it was open. I remember doing a private match on cod4 with a friend of mine to practice getting out of the map in old school free for all. It started with just me and him, then 1 by 1 people kept joining until we had a full game of people fucking around. A lot of them were friends of friends of friends that kept joining off of their friends. It was one of the most fun times i had that happened completely organically.
>>722431112It's fine they ran at 4k/100fps for me and that was a few years ago
>>722431678Gears of War was extremely popular in Mexico
>>722431848the game was absolute peak, i would kill to plat trouble in paradise on pc at a decent framerate.>>722431752halo is coming back anyday now right?
>>722431891this girl was "one of the boys", she said she had a bunch of older brothers who passed the xbox down to herbut honestly for me it was great just being able to have an environment where i could talk to a woman and "flirt" without the awkwardness of being in front of an irl girl.i wasnt even on the same side of the world as her so its not like i was trying to fuck or anything.but boys growing up only gain experience by actually going up to a girl an talking to hera fear that freezes most men solid for a decent amount of time(sometimes forever)so when i finally was ready to start talking to girls irl i had almost a decade of "rizzing"(as the kids say these days) up this girl and a ton of that fear and anxiety simply wasnt there at that pointnow yes as always the other guys DID actually try to fuck her, which caused beef with the other guys and the clan broke up.soon after i bought a pc and never looked back.so even though women being in mens groups(online) usually goes tits up. in this situation it was really great.well for me at least.
>>722432358Halo has been garbage ever since Bungie quit developing it
>>722421942Damn this shit brings back memories I feel bad for you alphies
>>722423070>>722421942>never got any console at launch>only had old pcmissed on all those incredible experiencesI got ps3 recently and it was interesting discovering all those games but its not the same as then
Microsoft, driven by the miraculous success of the Xbox 360 and Sony's massive fuckups with the Playstation 3, invested a monumental amount of money in the Xbox to bring the Gears, Halo, Fable and Forza franchises to its peak.Despite the Xbox 360 success, this business strategy still wasn't profitable.With the failure of the Xbox One, Microsoft simply abandoned the idea of making games and tried selling hardware and subscriptions.Still, it wasn't worth it, and the Xbox division never achieved the monopoly Microsoft aspired to.To think that Microsoft's Xbox division was never profitable just shows how desperate Bill Gates is to subvert the video game industry.
>>722432659PS3 collecting is at least pretty cheap. I hate how overpriced the retro gaming market has become but right now is a great time to pick up 360 and PS3 games as most used games are fairly inexpensive. Check thift stores and pawn shops and you are likely to find a lot of stuff
>>722430026>>you have to pay to play onlineYeah that's called having internet.Wouldn't it be crazy if you could just plug in your console and play online without having to pay an extra toll booth?
>>722434018>Yeah that's called having internet.you are being bad faith.i dont know why you hold onto this belief that the 360 had tons of problems with it had a couple hardware level flaws at best.they didnt scam or trick or deceive anyonethey just had business practices that you personally didnt like.and you are acting like these are flaws inherent to the hardware itselfits retarded.
>>722421942I remember my classmate telling me what a wireless controller was and how he was taking a shit on the toilet while gaming at the same time and thought it was the most insane thing I'd ever heard.
>>722434235>that you personally didnt likeYeah it's called having a brain. Did yours RROD?
>>722434396Thanks for helping me remember this:https://youtu.be/ZOkF0McZKIw?si=-DW4kZuf9opiNSE8
>>722421942>Mad World>It's a Mad World
>>722432910>To think that Microsoft's Xbox division was never profitable just shows how desperate Bill Gates is to subvert the video game industry.I think it was the western powers that be in general that wanted to take over the growing console market again after Japanese companies had dominated in the wake of the 80s implosion.After California claimed the Playstation and efforts were made to cull the dudebro culture that thrived on the 360, Xbox didn't have any purpose.
>>722421942I remember it leaving marks on the fucking disc all the time from the reader.
>>722434749;_;
>have a near-launch era 360>three (two) RRODs throughout its lifetime>RROD #1: sent to MS in its "coffin," got a replacement unit a few weeks later>RROD #2: revived it using the towel trick, which lasted about a week before>RROD #3: bit the bullet, opened up the console and did the X-clamp mod. Also reflowed the mobo with a heat gun before putting everything back togetherThat repair lasted me a little over a decade now. Now when I turn the console on sometimes I'll get graphics artifacting or entire system lockups with no warning or red ring, so I guess it's about time to retire this console for good. I'm surprised it lasted this long.
I got one for my birthday, which was also the same day as the release date for oblivion on the 360So naturally, I got that game and kameo elements of power I played oblivion for 30 minutes and quit because the tutorial dark cave with the zombie scared me.
>>722434850Xbox still managed to make America relevant in the console market again after Atari completely stumbled in the the mid 80's and never recovered. I just wish Microsoft had kept really trying after the Xbox 360. The Xbox One and the Series S and X have just felt very lackluster and low effort and just completely lacking in the ambition the Xbox brand had in its first two consoles
>>722434619>Did yours RROD?noi have the original arcade and the original elite slimstill work perfectly to this dayplayed both for hundreds of hours
>>722435505>I played oblivion for 30 minutes and quit because the tutorial dark cave with the zombie scared me.this but skyrimi got to the giant spider and turned the game off.
>>722435471Just buy a used Slim model. They are way more reliable and you should be able to get one now for very cheap
The 360 era is when gaming started to decline, young ones.
>>722421942It was a good time, until the shit fried itself and I had to do the towel trickI eventually upgraded to the green master chief one. Never should have sold it
>>722421942I can emulate the whole x360 library on a midrange computer for free
>>722435912It was definitely the start of the decline, but things were still better in many ways than the present so it's natural for people to feel some nostalgia for those times.

>>722421942I was spared the red ring of death as a kid and went from a PlayStation 2 to a PlayStation 3, also known as the the golden age of PlayStation games.
>>722421942I had and loved my OG Xbox and never wanted this RROD-POS.

>>722421942great consoleshame that it set up the stage for the downfall of gaming
Next console generation I'll be buying a PlayStation, Steam deck type device or upgrading the PC. Microsoft can get fkd after offering a barely better catalogue than PlayStation and then attempting to ass fuck the customer base with their shitty sub service that by the way will have mandatory unzippable adverts. Also just replaced windows 10 with Linux.
No one ever talks about it, but it was amazing having music on your console. They had a visualizer when just play, me and friends could put on while smoking weed in high school. Also could just play music in any game, even GTA had a custom radio station for your music. The whole industry has got worse ever since 360.
>>722421942but I did experience exactly thatthanks dad
Last gen where the graphics bump really amazed me.
>peak halo>peak cod>4 peak bethesda titles>2 separate grand theft out entries>red dead>left for deadit's a fucking miracle I graduated high school
>>722441718You couldn’t even play music and a game at the same time on PS4
>>722431112i literally ripped my purchases from my 360 to a flash drive and can drag and drop them right into Xenia with a 90+% success rate Some sports titles are scuffed helmet textures messed up or players T posing after the play that kind of thing
not quite 360 launch, but me playing online on Halo 3's launch, downing caprisuns and eating an old easter egg

>>722448182at this point I don't even know what qualifies for a zoomer, I'm 29 if that matters
>>722448251you aren't a zoomer you're zillenial, zoomers started frauding having our lives.
because they probably played their older brothers hand me down 360 when they were like shitting in a diaper. Or their parents were turbobrokies, and picked it up off craigslist for 60 bucks.
>>722448445ah, how specific, I get it though
>>722422286Arcade Edition was one of the launch-era SKUs with a 256mb memory unit and an Xbox Live Arcade disc. RRoD-less motherboard revisions started shipping late 2007. The Elite just had a bigger hard drive, which is irrelevant nowadays with modern replacements.
>>722421942I got mine in xmas 2006, with Gears, DOA4 and PGR3. It was a I hated the Gears campaign until I managed to meet some guy playing the multiplayer and we beat it togetherFast forward several years and I was still playing with that guy, both on 360 and PS3Fast forwards several more years and that guy completely vanished one day without saying anything
>get 360 for christmas in 2007>get a red ring several months later>do the towel trick to get it working again>the following day I trip and drop my controller on the 360>red rings againPaid online was cancer, as were the mics, but the jump from the 6th to the 7th was wild. Even Halo 2 to 3 felt insane.
>>722449220that's just how it goes man
