Amazing console, many great memories.
This was the console that caused the huge change in my life. Although I don't want to admit it, it is my favourite console of all time (sorry all Sega consoles). That God-like system update that allowed it to support non Microsoft Xbox external HDs upto 2TB and then weekly deals with gold selling full priced titles for an insane low price is an awesome combo (I'm upto 200 installed games).
My favourite SE console is the Star Wars one (it makes R2D2 sounds!) and it's also the one that's lasted after my 3 previous RROD failures. I'd also like to that Andre/Scott at Microsoft for sending me FOC replacements for those even though I was way out of a location that offered support.
XBLA was stunning but stifled by the 2 game a week only policy and game size cap in the early days. But still, perfect versions of street fighter 3' Daytona, Radiant Silvergun, loads of Capcom fighters, 2D shumps. Once Games on Demand costs became reasonable that's a good service too.
F.
Been gaming since the early 80s, and have owned lots of platforms. Nothing comes close to just how good the 360 was for me, and just how much enjoyment I got out of it.
Fuck sake Microsoft, bury the xbone and release a real successor to the 360. The xbone is an insult to its legacy... The xbone is my only console this gen.
I made a GIF
The XBox One is no insult to the 360. It was the continuation of the multimedia device that the XBox 360 had evolved to be over 7 years or so. Taken too far, and stepping to far away from building leading power into it like the OG Xbox had, sure. But there's been some damn fine gaming to be had on the Xbox One which is really the legacy.
Damn, I need to buy one to support my collection of imported Cave shmups. Not to mention classics that may never become BC on XBO, like Lost Odyssey.
This article from years ago continues to be relatively on point, a little off here and there.

Amazing.
Had three different 360s (Pro, Elite, and 360 S), got so much mileage out of them from 2006 to 2014, when I got the Xbone.
And the controller, best controller of last gen hands-down. And all the wicked variations it had (I distinctly remember owning that black/white Dragon design one that was a Walmart exclusive).
Done to death by now but *Big Boss Salute*
That's ace.
Amazing looking at that and thinking it was on the same console as Halo 4 eh? Same hardware, nearly generational leap in what they could do with it.
That kind of thing...Well, not to bring it up in every thread, but squeezing all the juice out of consoles may fall by the wayside with certain developments.
Perfection.
Think I'm gonna cry, this is legit so sad right now. Goodbye my most favorite console.
I didn't pour out a 40, but I drank 3 Miller Lites a little while ago.
I really hope the slim and next console's design follow the Xbox 360's Slim design, which I think is the best console design ever, and by a wide margin.
Bought one in early '08 that ended up rroding. Got an E model last year in lieu of dealing with xbo bc. Sadly, I never really got into xbl at all during Halo 3's heyday. That must have been a magical time. But there are still games like Fable 2 and Gears 3 that'll ensure a place for this thing in my collection. RIP lil sexbox.
I don't feel anything that 360 production will end. I have no nostalgia or emotions. I ignored the console its entire life. I was a fanboy that whole generation lol
sucks to be you, I guessI don't feel anything that 360 production will end. I have no nostalgia or emotions. I ignored the console its entire life.
The blades were the best.
End of an era.
Yeah, I didn't get a lot of 1000/1000 games (fuck DLC's ) but it was like snorting coke, I swear. Got a full achievement rack on COD4, Bioshock, Bioshock 2 (enduring dat shitty MP just for the damn achievements), Fallout 3, Dead Space and Oblivion.Definitely my preferred console of last gen, so many great memories of my introduction into hd gaming... and achievements. Not much of an achievement hunter nowadays.
Just out of curiosity what batch of these consoles was the last one to have the RROD problem? Did they manage to stop it happening or is the problem still occurring?
