Who else spent hundreds of hours playing game demos on the Xbox 360? 😂 🖐️
Me and i still have GTA 5 and demo of Forza horizon 2
Not me
But i'm buy GTA 5
Me
me on my old 360 i still have blades dashboard aswell and i used to play demos all the time
Let's face it. They didn't get rid of the Blades dashboard because they wanted to add functionality, they did it because they couldn't serve adverts on it.
that dashboard shift was Xbox’s first move in changing the concept to a “multimedia” device, it’s really only current day that they’re realizing people are still mostly buying their consoles for the games and the aesthetic that comes with that. sadly my memories of 360 are tainted with all the ads and the bing bar coming late in the life cycle
The adverts were a little banner at the bottom which was just enough to keep users in the know of what games had come out or were on sale. Now there’s ads plastered everywhere.
@@conspiringcolton The ads actually got removed in 2020 iirc with an update that wiped every piece of promotional content on the console. The Metro dashboard is all clean now!
I really hate seeing people parroting this talking point, meanwhile the blades dashboard literally has a category for every function we use these things for nowadays.
Things haven't changed that much guys.
Man I loved the old Blades design of the dashboard. My favorite bit, personally, being the "Open Tray" button on the homepage at 4:18. Something about it is just so late 2000s and stylish. I'd love to see a console with that *super temporary* Blue version of the Xbox Guide they were using for a bit there. Around 2007/2008 I believe, since Halo 3 was still all the rage.
"late 2000's"?
you mean mid 2000's
I just love the fact that it’s so colorful
And the sounds *oh the sounds…*
The Xbox 360/PS3 Era were the best times for gaming imo. Games had a lot more passion put into them it felt like.
I feel like both PS2/Xbox & PS3/360 eras were the best. So much experimentation with games back then and there really was something for everyone
The Blades dashboard has to be one of the most nostalgic things to me.
Same
Doubt you were old enough to remember it
@@broke5982 13 is too young to remember
NXE is nostalgic for me I didn’t get to experience blades
@@broke5982blades dashboard was only like 17 years ago you’re literally doubting that some dude on the internet is in his 20s lol what
I still can't believe Sonic 06 was played on the first one
As happy as I am with the last dashboard they released for the 360, I can't deny that the Blades dashboard is SO good! I question why Sony gave the PS3 PlayStation Store that slow clunky redesign when the 2008 design was so good!
I remember the blades dashboard. I really wish that had been left in as an 'alternate option' selectable from a menu somewhere, tbh. It always felt faster to navigate for me, personally.
LOL he was like “it’s bound to get red ring of death one day but look at this blade dash though!!” 😂
If PS3 emulation can get as good as it has, hopefully 360 emulation will evolve to an extent where we can all re-enjoy the Blades dash!
Ps3 emulator still sucks. Most games are unplayable. Ps2 emulator 90 plus is finishable games
I still remember navigating blades to party chat and send messages in MW2. The time I'll never get back, and I'm so glad my childhood was S tier gaming
That never happened. They got rid of the blades dashboard in 2008 an entire year before MW2 released.
Fun fact: The “1080” part in the background isn’t just 360 multiplied to 3 corresponding to 3 Xbox 360’s that were in this video, it also corresponds to the max video resolution 360’s output which is 1080p.
All of those make sense, but ultimately it’s just an image that my editor found on the internet 😂
Can confirm, I just wanted an Xbox 1080 pic since there are 3 360s in the video 😂
Max resolution on the first run Xbox’s was 1080i
@@jrob0021 it’s sad how conspiracies start. No wonder so many gullible people voted for trump. 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
@@Jordanfiend361 keep your politics out
7:47 - From my guess, this console was likely manufactured on this dash, due to the fact that the console looks basically new
This is also a really nice find considering the fact that 2858 is the third retail Blades release, the first being 1888 and the second being 2241.
Now you have the Xbox 1080 in background. Can't wait to see the Xbox 1440!
That 360 find in box is unreal man. Great find
takes me back. I never needed the memory unit I had the xbox 360 "elite". I did have to send it in 4 times from red rings until they finally just stopped "repairing it" . Good times.
Sheesh 4 times? You’d think they’d just give you a new one after once or twice lol
We had a xenon that keeps trucking to this day. And i have a 2011 serviced xenon that i love.
When my Jasper 360 RRODed in 2016, my Mom just declared "We'll get you an Xbox One", ignorant that it isn't a 100% 360 replacement! I got an Xbox 360 E shortly into 2017. My Mom doesn't get classic tech the way I do.
@@adultmoshifan87 you must have gotten the e74 error. I have several jaspers that run flawlessly. I found zephyrs to be the most fussy/cranky consoles imo
@@adultmoshifan87 Sure that "one" would play most of your 360 games, but the interface and the whole experience would be lost to time. I love the xbox 360 so much just for that. It was a hell of a time for gaming. I'm glad you were able to get another!
I had 2 of those memory cards, they were great for bringing your save games to a friends house. I think a lot of people just used flash drives because they were bigger capacity and cheaper; but my grandma bought me a 2 pack of those memory cards for Christmas.
I was 11 years old the first time I tried the 360. I am 27 now. The blades dashboard is a heavy dose of nostalgia for me. Thanks for the video, this is amazing
There was a period where syncing gamertags to your friends' consoles for stuff like local Halo or Gears co-op runs was an absolute slog and you had to sync everytime, so we ended up investing in those memory cards to store our gamertags on, which removed the need to sync our data and just allowed us to sign in instantly.
Much quicker process nowadays. I recall waiting about 20 minutes once for a gamertag to sync back then.
The blades was the best dashboard imo
The first 360 I got was the red RE5 one with the Jasper. I waited for all the red ring BS to be done with and I really wanted to play RE5 (which was included). I only wish it had some type of RE graphics or face plate, but the red looks cool.
Yeah kinda odd that there aren’t any RE graphics on it. Definitely a nice color though
@@jrob0021 Hey Jacob! :D
Hello i have been watching you since you started putting random discs into random game consoles its so cool to see how much your channel has grown
I remember playing alot of demos from the 360 mostly sonic tranformed, i freaking love that game and i really wanted the full game but couldn't afford it.
Same!!
I'll take the blades over any other Xbox UI, every time. Regular Xbox has too much personality, nothing after NXE has enough. As it happens, I only ever used the blades UI on a CRT. By the time I got my first HDTV set in 2008, NXE was already out and I was rocking the Battlestar Galactica theme.
I had a memory card, used it to bring my profile with me to friends' houses, it was nominally easier than redownloading it.
Super cool stuff! I was thinking of trying out the xbox 360 and getting one myself.. certainly going to sometime now that I’ve seen all the amazing stuff it can do!
I really like these videos where you buy these bulk sets of consoles. There is this "treasure chest" feeling of checking out former player's profiles and seeing what former owners were doing/playing. I love this. It's a weird fascination, but the dopamine rush is real. You need to do A LOT more of these kinds of videos.
My favorite series on the Xbox 360. Sick that you found a blades!
I used a memory card along with my hard drive from 2005 to about 2008 to double my saves. This was before cloud saving, and I was always nervous about only having my saves on the hard drive, in case it ever crapped.
It's kind of interesting how far behind the Xbox 360 felt when compared to the PlayStation 3 in 2006. The 360 had no HDMI, used DVDs for games, you couldn't watch Blu-Rays or HD-DVDs, it had slots for memory cards, and I am pretty sure they sold consoles without hard drives included. The 360 was significantly cheaper than the PS3, though.
It did have HDMI but only the “elite” one at launch
bruh just the SIGHT of that stock 360 headset brought back so many core memories. and the in box xbox was manufactured on my birthday!!
Such great memories come with that blade design it’s so amazing to see in the modern day
Wow the nostalgia for the blades dash is unreal right now
the 360 UI is so much better then the new xbox UI. i still haven’t adapted! the 360 minutes were so simple and easy to fine and navigate
- when i got my first xbox360 it had the dark/ navy blue menus!
My first ever console was the mlg edition 360, and I got it for my like 4th birthday… it’s still in my room, and works perfectly. I remember spending countless hours with my grandparents playing disney infinity 3.0 years ago… I am now 15… It is cool to have three generations of consoles in my room… (Xbox 360, Xbox 1, PS4, PS5, and Nintendo Switch) I was lucky to have the newer console variant that bypassed the red ring of death era…
1:21 I would have been screwed if I didn’t send in that form with a check b/c I bought my system on EBay b/c of how low supply the 360 was in for almost a full year after release. I went through 5 OG systems during the XBox 360 lifetime, not paying at all for systems 2-4.
OG system 5 was a new arcade purchased in fall 2009 as my extended warranty was ending. It lasted until 2012 when it was traded in for a Slim 360, which I have to this day.
Watching on series X, i guess microsoft agreed that the blades sliding in when the xbox button is pressed IS, in fact, cool.
I had an Memory Unit back in the day. But hardly ever used it
One of the few! Haha
17:08 the thing is that most of those games are trial versions/demos (hence the half controller symbol), meaning you won't see any proof of them playing it since you can't unlock achievements in trials
How lucky, malware profile pictrue
@@ZebulonYT. excuse me?
This video is underrated! Good editing mic quality keep up the work
🙏
Ah, seeing the black and red consoles brung me back.. I owned an elite console, the black one, which was stolen in a move when i was younger. Then someone in the same complex that we moved to gave me his old Resident Evil xbox, to which the disc reader kept giving out, but it hard carried me through the rougher times of my childhood. Wish I could relive those countless hours of never getting bored of MW2.
My 360 Slim died and through tough labor it still didn't revive. I miss playing my collection
Demos were lit. I didn't have internet back then so I would go to my friends house w my Xbox and download a bunch of demos
My second gen xbox 360 had blades. It still works and the usb door never broke but one of the memory cand doors did. The spring just kind of fell out at one point. Of course i connected it to the internet so it doesnt jave the blades.
The red one looks pretty cool
I just noticed the first console you tested was on the VERY FIRST blades dashboard because the marketplace tab/blade wasn’t showing up unless if it just doesn’t show up when you aren’t signed in but i don’t know
I have very vivid memories of playing the outfit while listening to “crazy” by ceelo green 😂😂 idk why but I often played that song while playing that game. I loved playing the old gta games on Xbox because there was a radio station that would play your music on console.
I remember the blades dashboard. However i remember putting in chronicles of riddick when the update replacing the blades dashboard came out. Somehow the update was on the disc
Blades era 360 was amazing
Those memory cards were used in the early days. It was the only way to transfer your gamer profile and earn achievements when visiting someone offline.
Ah, so *that's* what they were. I have a vague memory of unboxing mine, and never using it. Completely forgot they even existed!
You say that you’re fine but you’re not really fine.
I used to play a bunch of Minecraft and black ops on my 360 back when i was little. 😅 It was very fun
The blades dashboard was great. Faster than the NXE, and considerably faster than the Metro UI.
The later UIs put too much priority on features like avatars or adverts, which are just unnecessary bloat.
Man, the blade dashboard reminds me of playing Rainbow Six Vegas for hours on end every weekend back then
I used to play Minecraft with my brother and sometimes our grandpa came visit abd gave even sweets now my brother has his own family and our grandpa is past away. I miss the old times 2000-2012
I cut myself on the like button looking at the blades dashboard lol
😂
Still own my 360 elite, I put that boy through the ringer back in the day.
Everyone hooks an Xbox 360 up to a flat screen nowadays but I know how it was back then. Your mom got you a tube tv on clearance and you liked it!
Honestly they should have made a way for you to use the old dashboards on any version because it wouldn't really have made a difference they could have had them be like themes
is that screen behind you to your left a Green screen that gets filled in editing or it's an actual direct live feed ?
The world may never know... 👀
lol jk, it's a monitor that we display a green background on, then I go in and add whatever I want to it when I'm editing the video.
@@DannyTheEditor thanks for the clarification jacob's editor !
It's so weird that the first one has a memory card with it . I've never seen one in person .
They were around a lot at launch. You could take those memory cards and take ‘em to like GameStop 360 kiosk where you can download demos, gamer pics etc. thought it was a cool idea. I got my demo of geometry wars that way
@@YoDzOnHalo I bought a launch 360 and didn't know about the kiosk thing . I missed out .
@@YoDzOnHalo that is pretty cool. I didn’t have a 360 at launch so I never realized that was a thing
Wow that's some cool xboxs. I didn't know Goodwill sold stuff like this.
I had that same XBOX, GameCube, USB to PS2 adapter and it goes hard.
I played hours of the left 4 dead 2 demo, I remember playing that game for weeks on end not getting bored of it lmao
I used my memory card all the time. It was much quicker to take my gamertag over on the card than download it if i was going to my friend's house to play Halo or Gears.
Wow I have not seen the blades dashboard in so long. Need someone to make a virtualbox image of it so I can run through it all again
I had a 360 memory card, still do, and used it back then. I still have my 360, just dont have a controller for it anymore.
Yes finally a xbox 360 buying video again, those are my favorites, untested 369 video😍 and no I never played 360 demos back in the day😅 love you man
11:53 Marble Blast!!!
I’m so jealous man. I bought 4 360’s from goodwill and no luck on blades.
4:24 it was by far the fastest dashboard to use
Can I use the Xbox 360 like the white one in this video on a GAEMS MONITOR? It does have to have a HDMI CABLE will this work with it thanks
how do you find them at goodwill… instore only or do they have some website?
I got an original Xbox, I really want to get a 360 so I can play the old dvds in more “modern” systems
At 4:34, you can see that the dashboard is pretty old because there is no 'Marketplace' option.
I never grew up playing any sort of console, but I'm interested in buying a xbox 360. Which one would yall recommend for me to buy?
The Xbox 360 S or E model. People don't like the E but I have one and I actually like it.
If you like phats. Jasper v1s and v2s are the most reliable.
I’d agree about getting an S or E since they are typically most reliable
Thanks for the suggestions guys
Ps5
5:13 that early blades dashboard without the marketplace is the rarest Xbox 360 dashboard alongside the OG XBOX dashboard without Xbox Live. This also implies that whoever owned this console hasn't played it since 2006. I hope whoever won this console hasn't updated the EXTREMELY RARE dashboard.
Your channel is SOOOO underrated.
Even though this video is 3 months old, what was the Dashboard version?
great vid, miss my Xbox 360 slim and E a lot
Wow resident evil console at Goodwill??? Hell of a find
I still have all my 360s over the years including my og elite from 2008 , and it has issues with the disk opening and gets stuck I have found you have to use your fist and hit it and it will open lol I’ve been doing this to this consel since 2014 and it still works like a charm plu my toe halo edition 360s and one white one sadly red ring of death 😂
I didn’t grow up with Master Chief. I grew up with Rookie and Noble team.
9:23
Jacob: A one twenty -gigabart- gigabyte hard drive.
Me: Lol
Wait, goodwill has a website to buy off of?
I still have my old 360s(Arcade, Elite and a Slim) somewhere but I have only cleaned the Elite one(pretty sure it's a Jasper V2 because that one has never had rrod even with how dirty it was)but years ago when the disc drive started acting weird...
I really need to look for them because there are a few games not on the backwards compatibility list I'd like to play again since I highly doubt they'll ever be available for BC on Series 😮💨
how hard is it for goodwill to test just turn on and see if its plays a game
I have a Blades 360. It's absolutely sick.
My cousin had hydro thunder hurricane demo and n+ on is 360. I recently bought hydro thunder on Xbox one, thanks Microsoft for the backwards compatibility 😊
The powder keeps them from falling apart like they always did
I love xbox 360 videos thanks jacob for a great new video
Thank you
The black one was a falcon (I have the same one as I collect these lol)
demos were awesome
they need to release a remastered blades dashboard option for series x!
The first dude played Sonic 06 and died of disappointment 💀
Nah that version of the software was like from a few days after i was born lol
😂😂 crazy to think about right?
@@jrob0021 late reply but hahahah fr
When did they changed the blade dashboard to a new one?
Never if you find an old Xbox that hasn’t been updated 😉
I aways played the old Lego Batman demo a lot back in 2008 for when it was the nxe dashboard for Xbox 360 because my brother got a Xbox 360 from the year 2008
Imagine those guys from the Elite console getting a bunch of random requests now lol
A college dorm 360
I wish I had that nostalgia
I still got my childhood 60gb hard drive :)
Thank you for this nice video!
I'm wondering how can we participate in the giveaway? I registered in Whatnot but didn't know what to do next.
