10 years? Crazy..
I was working as a Store Manager at EB Games when the Xbox 360 came out.. that launch was crazy. I still have my white Xbox wristband from back then. We had a line all around the mall. I remember being an evil corrupt manager and secreting some consoles away for my friends to buy (not super evil though, I didn't put them on eBay!).
Still remember trying to convince people they really really REALLY shouldn't be buying the $299 'core' bundle and should go with the $399 20GB Pro one instead.
So many good times gaming on Xbox live over the years, before it was all annoying kids & hate speech (there really was a time!). It honestly felt like all the best parts of PC gaming & console gaming had come together. Playing Elder Scrolls Oblivion on my TV in 2006 changed my life.
I'm really glad they're working on BC for Xbox One.. I still have a number of games I didn't finish or never got around to.
I still have a Halo 3 Xbox 360, but the disk drive won't open anymore, and is as loud as a semi truck. I also have the Halo 4 Xbox 360 which seems to work fine from the last time I checked it out. Hopefully it'll be good to pull out every now and then to play some 'retro' 360 titles.
Bravo, fair Xbox, Bravo!
