Bro you had to have grown up with alot of relatives to have an xbox with that many profiles lol my grandfathers xbox is the same, he's got his profile, all of my cousins profiles, my uncles profile, my profile lol crazy
Sooooo, I know that not ALL Xbox games are backwards compatible but you actually can play Telltale's Jurassic Park on the XSX if you have the original game disc. It's simply delisted from digital store and there are other titles that are backwards compatible with disc only like this game and Driver San Francisco.
Most Xbox 360 games or original Xbox games are start to be backwards compatible to the Xbox One more, And some of the old games are starting to be remastered for better graphics
My phat one from 2009, the white one with no HDMI port, still runs great and pretty quietly. The only issue is the disc drive is iffy but I think the laser lens just might need cleaning.
The Xbox 360 was a great console. I remember getting the Xbox 360 which came with the 20GB detachable hard drive and was bundled with the original Gears of War and Call of Duty 3. I remember when I fired up Gears of War and I was just blown away how great the game looked and how well it played. I also thought it was cool being able to use a wireless controller straight out of the box. Some of my favourite games from that era include the Orange Box, Halo 3, Halo Reach, Dead Space, Dead Space 2, Fallout 3, Call of Duty Modern Warfare, Forza Motorsport 2, Left 4 Dead, Battlefield 3 and the Tomb Raider reboot.
@@Donald_Allan I’m deadass though I went through 4 of these 360s At launch. At the time I didn’t know what it was. Luckily I had a warranty with GameStop and got a brand new one. If you look back you had 54 percent chance of getting the red ring of death. I loved the 360 but that was a horrid launch I remember picking up condemned I think you were too young so you wouldn’t remember and I was blown away
@@michaelmyersplays4992 You went through 4 of them though? Sounds crazy tbh. I bought an Xbox 360 Arcade and still have it and play it to this day i never got the red rings of death. You probably weren’t plugging the power cord in correctly my guess.
I remember firing it up for the first time back in 2007, still have the same console now. What a machine, 60GB hard drive, halo 3, gears of war 2, forza 2, cod 4, man what a time to be alive. Hope my xbox lasts longer, had it for 15 years and still works great!
I still have my Xbox 360 from well over 15 years ago (I purchased mine after the first roll out with the 'red ring of death' issues and Microsoft apparently fixed the problem with further roll outs) and it still runs great I play it from time to time (because several of the fun games that I still have are not backwards compatible with the Xbox One unfortunately). Great system overall in my opinion (and I still have some unique specialized controllers and other accessories for it too) 😎👍
I still have mine as well and still buy games pretty regular for it because I didnt realize how many 360 games there were that I never played or in some cases never heard of.
Such a great console and definitely a highlight of that generation. Everything just felt so fresh and new when it came out, not to mention the degree of online multiplayer becoming even more mainstream. Sure it had its faults, but the library it had was fantastic and catered to almost every kind of gamer. I still have mine and about 200 games, but unfortunately had to put in storage because of space issues, someday I'll dig out the treasure trove that I have and replay my favorites.
I’ve had mine in storage for almost a decade now and broke it back out a month or two ago. I don’t have quite 200 games but I got a similar amount, 140-150ish and I found space wise I ended up ordering these cool heavy duty CD cases (I spent more money for nice hard shell ones, you can get cheap ones to do the job) to put all my games in and put all my in those. It fits 192 discs total and both cases are about the size of of console itself so all the space I need for my 360 is basically 2 consoles worth.
I still say the 360/ps3/wii era was the last exciting generation of gaming. I know younger people will disagree because they didn't experience it, but what's so exciting about this current gen? So many games littered with micro transactions and loot boxes, grind to get these items or give us more money, constant patches because every game is rushed to market... It's not as fun as it used to be.
Your looking at the triple a titles for one and its the bad ones at that, you want to know whats so exciting about this generation? Indie games and nintendo exclusives. I dont like alot of the triple a releases either but nintnedo is staying strong and indie games keep getting better and better!
And i do understand how the 360 era was so exciting because i grew up through that era of gaming. I grew up playing black ops 2, minecraft xbox 360 edition, etc. And we dont have to let go of the past but you dont have to hate the future either
EA, ubisoft, square enix, etc may be making trash now but If you look past them you will see a HUGE pile of indie gems and great nintendo exclusives! Good games didnt die with the past.
Pit people, my friend pedro, onion boy commits tax fraud, birdskate, hollow knight, silksong, neversong, guacamelee, unbox, super meat boy forever and so much more! This is the generation where indie games get much bigger then triple a titles. And thats whats exciting about this generation!
I picked up a Series S it's great your not missing much if you don't have an X...my cousin was able to get one and meh not that big of a deal S is great
My Xbox one is great but the only thing is I sometimes have issues where it blacks out and I have to do a hard reset on it. It’s happened a few times already. And it is kind of slow when starting up. It’s hd, can play movies, games, and has tons of apps for streaming. I like my Xbox 360 for games but it doesn’t really have streaming so well I don’t think.
One of my favorite features of my Xbox one is the backwards compatibility with the 360. So many of those games are dirt cheap these days, and I live for it
This is so weird, I literally found my old 360 and set it up last night. I remembered its backwards compatible and now I'm half way through playing Halo 2. Such an amazing game and wonderful era of gaming. Going to play through the original gears of war afterwards!
I just picked up my first Xbox (360) a few months ago at a garage sale for $30 with multiple games. Same model you have. I’m loving it so far! And the games are so cheap so it makes collecting actually fun.
I think the 360 might be my second favorite system, after the NES. It definitely had its problems (I had 5 systems red ring). It was a great time for gaming. The 360 might have one of the best game libraries in existence.
no i dont think so. i hope i can rank it up for you fan boi based on sales and popularity in the world for which console most people use per generation for playing games that includes PC though hehe. 1 NES 2 SEGA MASTER SYSYTEM 3 ATARI 7800 1 SNES 2 SEGA MEGA DRIVE AND GENESIS 3 PC 1 PS1 2 Nintendo 64 3 PC 4 SEGA dreamcast 1 PS2 2 Nintendo gamecube 3 xbox 4 PC 1 Xbox 360 2 PC 3 PS3 4 Nintendo Wii 1 PC 2 PS4 3 XBOX 1 4 Nintendo switch 1 PC 2 PS5 5 XBOX
@@elizabethbravo6168 is that actual facts or just your opinion? Not trying to sound rude because I agree with they way the list is put together for sure. I feel like nowadays pc is the best hands down
The power vrick had a lot of different voltages it supplied, but it also had its own fan and cooling vents so it needed space for air to circulate inside. Very often people open up the console to clean out the fan and heatsink, but don't clean the fan of the PSU. If you've had Xbox Gold in the past, log in and download all those free 360 games that belong to you!!
The Xbox 360 and the NES are tied in first place, as my all time favorite consoles. To me, gaming peaked out in creativity during the PS3 and Xbox 360 era. Sure, games look better now, but besides looks, I haven’t played anything since then, that really felt like a new experience. Most modern games, just feel like reskinned versions of older games. It’s been a long time, since I booted up a game, and was amazed by it.
I think computer technology as a whole is coming to a point where the limitations are above what developers need out of the system. Consider the jump from NES to SNES, or from SNES to ps1/n64, and then compare it to the difference between ps4 and ps5. The 80s-2000s were a time when computer technology growth was lifting limitations that previously held back the potential of devs and ideas.
I got my Xbox 360 In 2011, and I played it continuously until 2019 when I upgraded to the one X. It’s my favorite system still, and I’m glad I never got rid of it.
I bought a 360 E a few months ago. So nice playing modern-ish games without internet or downloads. Best 50 dollars I ever spent! (Also whatnot is addictive. Which is bad for the credit card.)
Playing Gears of War in 2006 was a truly next generation experience; simply jaw dropping. Any Xbox built Nov/2008 and beyond has the cooler Jasper chipset aka, no more RROD.
Just got the same model of the 360 as well in January. Am so happy to play old games that aren't backwards compatible but the value went up on a lot of them.
LOVE the 360... I'd still be playing on that hardware today if I could but so much is unsupported and frankly have no room. Even with the Red Ring of Death, when the system works... it worked for me, if ya know what I mean. This was my first non-Nintendo or Non-Sega system I ever owned. I bought another 360 after my first died, and that other model never RROD'd ever
Found a 360 S at a Goodwill last year, perfect condition, bought it to replace my Fat PS3. It came with Halo Reach, Far Cry 3&4, GTA IV, Crash: Wrath of Cortex, Gunstringer, Hexic & I think some other stuff. I realize now how much I missed out, the 360 is a great system. I had an OG Xbox too, wish I hadn't sold it.
After losing my last 360, my little brother handed down his “newer” 360 to me. I get to play all my old games-Catherine, new Vegas, L4D. Too bad I can’t play my digital games.
A guy was giving away the same model that you bought in Sydney for free with 8 games. I went over and picked it up the other week and it was all working (controllers needed some foil to make it work). As someone who has never owned an XBox I am looking forward to playing some of their classics.
It's crazy.... I have my PS 5 & X Box Series X with an XBox 360 (also re-purchased) sitting next to it! Gotta have it to play keyboards on Rock Band, Beatles Rock Band, NHL Hitz, and Circus Maximus... All of which I play with friends regularly. I also thought that the X-Box Live store was amazing for its time too... Lots of cool, smaller games available. I hardly ever go on the store now.
Still rocking the PS3 and Xbox 360. I mean I have a Ps4 as well but the 7th Gen consoles will always have a special place in my heart. I did love the Ps2 as well but I really got to grow up with the ps3 and Xbox 360…. I hope they don’t go offline for awhile longer…. I know they will have to at some point though.
I used to have an Xbox 360 Slim that died on me and I was so devastated that I went and got another one right away. I usually don't do that but the 360 was a brilliant system.
I have 3 of these bad boys. One i bought, the other my friend gave it to me because it didn't read discs and the 3rd i found at the dump and it works better than my first one
We had Halo LAN parties many many weekends. Had RRoD that MS fixed for free and still have it to this day. Slim & E models are extremely reliable. The power brick kept the heat outside the console & was easily replaced vs if it were built into the console. Controllers were solid and still work to this day because of the ability to use AA batteries wether they were standard AA or rechargeable. I have PS3 comptrollers that no longer work because the built in battery no longer holds a charge. Yes, you can take the controller apart & replace but not everyone knows how or are confident doing so.
I love the 360, so many good games that at least were pretty cheap. The limited edition consoles are amazing with new power on sounds and stuff, like the R2-D2 one. Bang for the buck in the last few years has been totally awesome!
My xbox 360 died a few years back in 2007 or 2008. So shortly after i went to a local game store by my apt. They had the arcade version with hdmi output. Slapped in the 20gb hard drive i had. i still have that 360 & works to this day. Playing gears of war 1-3 , burnout revenge , call of duty 2 online & rockband & guitar hero locally with friends was great fun & an awesome time. Good memories
It's kinda odd how they got rid of the ability to use component in E models, but they still kept the ability to use composite, even though component is better than composite, but less than HDMI.
So many good memories. My son and I spent hundreds of hours over a summer learning all the glitches in advanced warfare on our 360. Best controllers ever made too
I bought an X360 pretty recently myself this year. I've been needing a wired controller to play steam games (much easier than troubleshooting with PS4 or Switch Pro controllers) but also have some old games on the system I've wanted to play and finish, like Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon respectively. The game selection is limited though and not a whole lot I want out of it (JRPG fan here) but it has exclusives so I decided to hit two birds with one stone purchase.
AV port doubles as a headphone jack on the E models. What I do is have a 3.5mm extension cable with a volume dial on it and plug my headphones straight in. It's pretty nifty.
I've been playing the 360 since 2012. It's such a sweet console, and tbh, a very underrated console. When I was in the 2nd grade (2005-2006 school year), I remember so many kids talking about how awesome their 360 is, and I thought I'd never get my hands on one. Then on Christmas 2012 me and my brother were given a 360 slim. It ran super well all the way until May 2021 when it got the red ring of death. That was an easy fix though, we just got another one off ebay, then popped the hard drive in and it runs just as well. I let my brother have that one, and I got the 360 E for myself. The 360 definitely has always been a favorite for me 😁
Man 2nd grade for me was snes vs genesis days lol. I was more of a ps2 fan back when they first came out but over the years I realized 360 is better. I've had mine for 12 years now
@@boogeritus2488 Mann, I feel like people sleep on 360 nowadays. I still play mine, I actually got 3 of them. A 360 E, and 2 slims (one glossy black, and a matte black one)
You should really get a update on the console there are so many games on the newer consoles and have so much storage for your my xbox series x has 1 terra bites od storage
@@thequestioner5916 I do have an Xbox One too. It's still going strong too. Might get a Series X in the future, but I'm not in a real hurry to get it just yet at this point in time of my life.
Bought an OG Xbox, Retrotink 5x and the last gen of 360 the last few months. Tired of the lack of performance some games have on backwards compatibility and/or wondering if the game is BC without looking it up. It's been great and inexpensive to collect for. Minus, 50 Cent Blood in tha Sand, Manhunt, and Silent Hill 2: Restless Dreams. So good to visit the many great games that I never got to play.
I thought hard about this some time ago and the 360 is my favorite console of all time. I date back to the beginning of the OG NES days so I’ve seen some cycles. Shiny HD graphics, built in online capability, Xbox Live Arcade, and so many of my all time favorite games launching over the years (Oblivion/Skyrim, Dragon Ages, Demons Souls, Mass Effects, Halos, Gears, Etc.). And I can put the disc in and play it without having to download 40Gb which means I actually own the game. Bought a second (Elite) about 3 months back and absolutely love it. Still actively collecting all those hidden gems that eluded me back in the day. Prices are still low and availability is high.
A triumph. It's nice to hear "I actually own this game". So much of the games today give you a sh!t ton of patches, updates well over 20 gigs. With 360 you got the disc and your on your way.
@@samfrito Physical or digital, you don't own the game, it is just a license that can be taken away at any time. See the Telltale game discs that were bricks for a long time for proof of this.
@@supersanic1254 hold on. I have Sega CD games, Dreamcast games, some GameCube games and OG Xbox games. I own those and they NEVER stopped working. You maybe right about the practices of the last few gens, but when I pop in Nights into Dreams in my Saturn I'm believing I have a game I'm actually playing-- that I actually bought, and own for the rest of my gaming life. Unless otherwise shown, anything that has to connect to the internet to confirm the rights to play falls into that digital dominance of these last few gens of manufacturing.
I recently purchased an Xbox X as my first next gen system. The X series is quite the upgrade in regards to having the ability to play 4K games and etc. However, I still find myself in the unique position on continuing to utilize the Xbox 360 as my Windows Media extender (WMC) from my PC's WMC. I found the Xbox X series a system which should replace the X360 but learning that WMC has been discontinued by Microsoft themselves for several years, next "gen" system will never have this app unless there is a demand.
Awesome. The Xbox 360 is so nostalgic to me. I recently hooked mine up to my TV again, my controller was broken so I had to get a new one, but once that comes, best believe I will be reliving my childhood on this thing!
I have my 5th Xbox 360 and I use it mainly for Digital Pinball and Rocksmith 2014 with a USB to instrument cable to play my Bass Ukulele. I recently picked up a Series X via Target and have not taken it out of the box (yet), A treat for when I rework the Office and Streaming rig. I was disappointed that My Midway Classics for the original Xbox Was not backward compatible but was able to get a digital version for five bucks.
I was lucky to buy a brand new 360 E Slim back in May 2021. I was back into collecting video games; and while 2021 onward may be the worst time to collect video games, I had no regrets getting this system back. The Xbox 360, while most look into PS3 / Wii for 1st Party Exclusives, import scene, collecting value ; the Xbox 360 E Slim ( the one RGT 85 shows ) is best out of the previous two systems. You can be able to obtain 3rd Party Titles for a reasonable price in comparison to the PS3 versions, you can install the disc on your hard drive, where when you boot up the your game disc, the disc will not spin and will act as an disc reader - meaning it'll play. The 360 also plays around 50 % of Original Xbox games, which is cool. Its a great system, the games are way cheaper than PS3 titles as nobody cares nor sees value on 360 . So if you are wanting to start building a game collection, the Xbox 360 is a no brainer as well as the Wii & Ps3
I have three 360s at the moment. My main one is the Halo 4 edition (bought it boxed, including the special edition controllers). Picked up two more last year for like 40 bucks each, both came bundled with about 20 games. Great way to expand the games collection!
I have 4 360's that I do LAN parties with my kids occasionally... Tracked down multiple copies of all lan capable games... They were cheap... So fun when do that...
I don't recall much if any news of the red ring affecting later models, only knew of it affecting the pre HDMI systems. The second, updated model (Xbox 360 S, also known as the 'Slim' model) are a lot more reliable. I have had mine since 2010, still plays like a dream. Sitting between my OG Xbox and Series X under my tv.
Recently went to visit a family member and found my old Xbox 360 set up. Naturally I ended up buying a copy of Project Gotham Racing 3, it was my first 360 game and it's still so good.
Man seeing this just makes me reminisce on how much I went through when my original first Xbox 360 had went out , no red ring of death the AC plug went out and no replacement I got was working and funny enough RGT has the same Xbox I got to replace my original one but back to what I was saying I went about a whole presidential term and maybe a bit more without a new one and either last year or the year before I got tired of not having a 360 kause I missed playing MW3 , raging blast 1 and 2 and I wanted to get a 360 to play games I missed that I watch my fav UA-camr play for example , family guy back to the multiverse, The Godfather games blitz the league 2 max Payne 3 destiny (when it was actually worth a damn) Disney infinity and burst limit. And now I’ve had for a year or a little over and I’m glad I reclaimed one of my main sources of happiness so I’m glad to see people still rep this 💯💚💚💚💚✅
RTG, you are correct, the original white 360 did not have HDMI with the early models; however, later white models also had HDMI and the RROD ended when the reduced Jasper chipset released in original white models starting from November, 2008 models of the console.
Great video! I am still a 360 fan, and I have 4 of them on hand. As you said, that was the last generation in which the graphical jump was so massive, and the fact that the increases have seemed less so from 360 to current gen is why, at least to me, many 360 titles still hold up well. I recently added a model E to my stable, and I really wish Microsoft hadn't gone with that half high gloss look. It scuffs way too easily.
I've got a refurbished fat 2007 Zephyr Microsoft fixed in 2009. A 2009 v2 Jasper Kronos and a slim Corona 2011. The refurbished Zephyr and the slim were less than 60 dollars along with psus and two controllers. The Jasper was loose for less than 20. I bought a separate Microsoft psu for a Falcon that's forward compatible for a few bucks. The official Microsoft psus are pricey online.
I actually bought a 360 a few weeks ago, and it was this same E Model. I actually never knew they released another model after the S Model, which was the last one I had years ago.
As cool as the E models are they dont look as good as the Slim models do. I still think the slim is one of the best looking consoles ever. With that said i might pick up a E.
I love the Xbox 360 ! Still have mine from 2008 the original design which is a damn good looking console...my older brother has the E version and he said he was going to gift it too me hopefully soon
That’s the first game I played when I got a 360 about two years ago. It was fun, but a few too many spots where the challenge was figuring out where to move a dinosaur so that you could open a gate.
I legit have 4 Xbox 360 consoles because of the red ring lol still lot of great memories on the system. I have at least 2 of them working with one being an Xbox 360 Slim. However, I loaned my brother my slim to watch Netflix on it cause I got the Xbox one and he returned it to me 2 years later with no power supply haha so now I need a new power brick to see how the system is doing. Great vid!
It's a nice system. I was very late to the party (beeing a PS3 guy) and didn't buy one until 2013. Still have quite a few games left to play on it. Some of those will be playable on my Xbone, but not all. The REALLY weird thing is that I (for reasons I don't really understand myself) still think the X360 feels lika fairly modern console, despite being last-last-gen. 😅
Yo! I'm a big fan of XBOX 360. I agree with you. This system was a game changer. I remember camping out in Santa Monica to get one. Purchased my first HD TV around the same time too! Amazing times!
I have many 360s but the best $ i ever spent was buying a RGH modded 360 slim about 2 years ago. Its amazing for playing 360 games, backups, homebrew, etc...but my personal favorite part is the whitelisted backward compatibility list that expanded the amount of bootable og xbox titles. Its not perfect but its really cool if youre into that feature. Being able to backup the discs is a sweet feature as well.
The bricks housed the 360's power supply. Microsoft went external to limit the console's overall size, which was a chief complaint about their first gen. That and their mammoth controllers (The Duke). Laptops typically have the same setup.
Cod was such a great game!🤩 The campaign and multiplayer were so much fun. Btw sold my 360 in 2022. It was collecting dust. Ofcourse I still have the controller 😍🎮
I also bought myself a 360 a couple of months ago. Had to play 5 games on this system and 5 games only: Magna Carta, Lost Odyssey, Infinite Undiscovery, Blue Dragon and The Last Remnant.
What are your gaming habits? If I may ask, do you play for more than one hour at a time or for several hours at a time? I've had mine for a decade but I only play short 1hr 1/2 sessions here and there, so I've always wondered if this prolonged it's life because it never gets too hot.
Damn man, I got a working E model for free when someone dumped one in front of my old work place haha. Keep in mind OG Xbox games on the 360 can be super glitchy though.
No one should need to buy the xbox 360 at all it’s not a console that you should of got rid of in the first place it’s not a failure it was the first console that gave achievements that had so many classic arcade games such as Pac-Man teenage mutant ninja turtles arcade Simpson much more it was playing so many original xbox games I never got rid of mine I still play with it the same goes for PS3 the only consoles you should get rid of is the NES Super Nintendo Sega Genesis all the 16 bits consoles Atari consoles the consoles that released in 2005-2006 are amazing this was just the beginning but for Nintendo they are all the same Nintendo 64 to Nintendo switch same graphics
I remember playing on the old 360, went through 5 of them. Most came to their fait with the red ring of death, whilst my 5th one was the last Xbox 360 i'd ever buy, and the last one to ever play. I went through so many memories from B02, FH1 - FH2, CoD Ghosts and so many more, 7 years of playing on that console, then came 2019, I sold that 360 and I upgraded to the Xbox 1S and I still have that console 3 years later.
Wow $100!! I picked up a 4gb console only for £5 and a 250gb with power brick, hdmi cable & 1x controller for £25. Very cheap here in the UK! Just in the process of making a video of completely cleaning it. Good video.
It’s a great Games console. I still play it because it’s still working fine and I don’t see a need to buy a new console because it has good games that hold up well in 2023
I got my first console yesterday, found an xbox 360 call of duty version with 2 controllers, and 108 games in boxes for 75$ I played red dead for 15 hours!! I love this!!
I have 2 "elite" xbox 360s that still run just fine, only had to change the belts on the disk drives and clean out the fans and heatsinks every couple of years.
I bought the same model myself earlier this year! This model came out the same time as the Xbox One. I found mine at a thrift store for $65 CDN. I'm a PlayStation gal, but couldn't say no at that price.
I bought one in late 2021 and am very happy with it. There were some exclusives That I really wanted to play and didn't get around to because I didn't have one and went the playstation route instead.
To me the best generation of consoles, are the 6'th and the 7'th generation. So many great games were released. And older games from 8 and 16 bit era were released on those two generations as well. Like virtual console on Wii.
There are MANY reasons I still have my Xbox 360 hooked up. The top 2 are Guitar Hero and Rock Band. Those 2 game series alone are reason enough to have an xbox 360. In my opinion, Xbox 360 was the absolute best system to play them on. I have about 5 different Rock Band games and 7 guitar hero games. There are a few other systems you can play some of them on- PS2, PS3,Wii, and a few newer games on XB1/PS4, but none come close to the games on the 360. Both wired and wireless instrument controllers. Rock on!
I bought an Xbox 360e as my first Xbox as they were doing huge price drops when the One came out. 2 years ago I bought a 360 slim and have them networked together to play LFD2. Lots of fun.
A few months ago I was having a clear out and found a load of 360 games and my old white console which no longer worked so I thought I would buy a second hand 360 slim console on Ebay just for old times sake and so glad I did I got a 200 GB slim console with controller and it all came in original box and all for 30 English pounds as I live in the UK still play it today so glad I bought it totally respect your idea mate 💯
I'm an old man of 68 and I used to have Xbox360 when they first came out, I ended up giving it to my grown son for his kids years ago. Well I just bought a used one, bought a hard drive from Ebay and just started GTA 5. :)
Just bought an Xbox 360 today. Forgot how much I loved the system. My first red ringed. My second one lasted forever. Hope this one will be fine. But the games and the library were so good, even when considering there wasn't any real substantial amount of exclusives.
I am a PlayStation fanboy, but since seeing a modded XBOX back in 2004 I always wanted to have one and witht he prices of XBOX 360's being dirt cheap I just picked one up and have RGH'd it and man it is awesome. Not needing to use the DVD drive to play the games, cheap as games . I feel like the 360 has reached the bottom of the price curve. I paid NZ$50 for my slim with a power brick and controller. I am happy to be part of the XBOX club now.
I still have my 360, been lucky not getting the Red Ring issue, but I fear inevitably it's going to happen sooner or later. I'm not sure if I'll get a newer Xbox as many of the games I have for it I can play on my Switch as they've been ported over... but if I can transfer over my downloads and be able to still play my 360 disks to the newer console, I'll consider it

I would have played Smackdown vs Raw 2007 than Showdown: LOW but hey, do you, Shawn.
Hey man that version still had a red ring problem.. its cuz of the power brick.. the final version didn't have a power brick.. just letting you know
Bro you had to have grown up with alot of relatives to have an xbox with that many profiles lol my grandfathers xbox is the same, he's got his profile, all of my cousins profiles, my uncles profile, my profile lol crazy
Sooooo, I know that not ALL Xbox games are backwards compatible but you actually can play Telltale's Jurassic Park on the XSX if you have the original game disc. It's simply delisted from digital store and there are other titles that are backwards compatible with disc only like this game and Driver San Francisco.
Whatnot is the devil. I just bought four games for my Switch I didn’t need because I found a mystery bag auction.
I miss the days of games actually being on the disks and there wasn’t a need for internet.
Until gta 5 lol
Exactly!!
Pepperidge Farms remember.

@@iBMcFly 🤣 Don’t mind me I’m from the Atari 2600 generation when we used to play games with one button and a joystick. 🕹
Still have mine running 11 years later after I bought it. I play GTA 5, Arkham City and Origins on it pretty regularly. Such a great system.
You absolutely don't play city and origins regularly lmao
Lol. I just recently put mine away again but the only game I played was mortal Kombat 9. I love my 360!
Most Xbox 360 games or original Xbox games are start to be backwards compatible to the Xbox One more, And some of the old games are starting to be remastered for better graphics
Indeed mine is from 2011 and it's still fells kinda modern, graphic are good and games are superb
My phat one from 2009, the white one with no HDMI port, still runs great and pretty quietly. The only issue is the disc drive is iffy but I think the laser lens just might need cleaning.
The Xbox 360 was a great console. I remember getting the Xbox 360 which came with the 20GB detachable hard drive and was bundled with the original Gears of War and Call of Duty 3. I remember when I fired up Gears of War and I was just blown away how great the game looked and how well it played. I also thought it was cool being able to use a wireless controller straight out of the box. Some of my favourite games from that era include the Orange Box, Halo 3, Halo Reach, Dead Space, Dead Space 2, Fallout 3, Call of Duty Modern Warfare, Forza Motorsport 2, Left 4 Dead, Battlefield 3 and the Tomb Raider reboot.
I remember firing it up for the first time and got the red ring of death lmao 🤣
@@michaelmyersplays4992 Nice attempt at trolling 🤣
@@Donald_Allan I’m deadass though I went through 4 of these 360s At launch. At the time I didn’t know what it was. Luckily I had a warranty with GameStop and got a brand new one.
If you look back you had 54 percent chance of getting the red ring of death.
I loved the 360 but that was a horrid launch
I remember picking up condemned I think you were too young so you wouldn’t remember and I was blown away
@@michaelmyersplays4992 You went through 4 of them though? Sounds crazy tbh. I bought an Xbox 360 Arcade and still have it and play it to this day i never got the red rings of death. You probably weren’t plugging the power cord in correctly my guess.
I remember firing it up for the first time back in 2007, still have the same console now. What a machine, 60GB hard drive, halo 3, gears of war 2, forza 2, cod 4, man what a time to be alive. Hope my xbox lasts longer, had it for 15 years and still works great!
I still have my Xbox 360 from well over 15 years ago (I purchased mine after the first roll out with the 'red ring of death' issues and Microsoft apparently fixed the problem with further roll outs) and it still runs great I play it from time to time (because several of the fun games that I still have are not backwards compatible with the Xbox One unfortunately). Great system overall in my opinion (and I still have some unique specialized controllers and other accessories for it too) 😎👍
I still have mine as well and still buy games pretty regular for it because I didnt realize how many 360 games there were that I never played or in some cases never heard of.
Same here. Mine is about 12 years old and I still play it every day.
Such a great console and definitely a highlight of that generation. Everything just felt so fresh and new when it came out, not to mention the degree of online multiplayer becoming even more mainstream. Sure it had its faults, but the library it had was fantastic and catered to almost every kind of gamer. I still have mine and about 200 games, but unfortunately had to put in storage because of space issues, someday I'll dig out the treasure trove that I have and replay my favorites.
whenever i'm in a gaming store, i spent most time on xbox360 shelf and ps2 shelf - for some reason i grew tired of ps4 really fast, unlike 360.
I’ve had mine in storage for almost a decade now and broke it back out a month or two ago. I don’t have quite 200 games but I got a similar amount, 140-150ish and I found space wise I ended up ordering these cool heavy duty CD cases (I spent more money for nice hard shell ones, you can get cheap ones to do the job) to put all my games in and put all my in those. It fits 192 discs total and both cases are about the size of of console itself so all the space I need for my 360 is basically 2 consoles worth.
I still say the 360/ps3/wii era was the last exciting generation of gaming. I know younger people will disagree because they didn't experience it, but what's so exciting about this current gen? So many games littered with micro transactions and loot boxes, grind to get these items or give us more money, constant patches because every game is rushed to market... It's not as fun as it used to be.
Your looking at the triple a titles for one and its the bad ones at that, you want to know whats so exciting about this generation? Indie games and nintendo exclusives.
I dont like alot of the triple a releases either but nintnedo is staying strong and indie games keep getting better and better!
And i do understand how the 360 era was so exciting because i grew up through that era of gaming. I grew up playing black ops 2, minecraft xbox 360 edition, etc. And we dont have to let go of the past but you dont have to hate the future either
EA, ubisoft, square enix, etc may be making trash now but If you look past them you will see a HUGE pile of indie gems and great nintendo exclusives!
Good games didnt die with the past.
Pit people, my friend pedro, onion boy commits tax fraud, birdskate, hollow knight, silksong, neversong, guacamelee, unbox, super meat boy forever and so much more! This is the generation where indie games get much bigger then triple a titles. And thats whats exciting about this generation!
Indie games are small but amazing and go for a memorable art style, they have great humour and they arent plauged by microtransactions!
Very cool, I still play the Xbox 360 along with Xbox One, if the Xbox Series X ever comes out of extinction I'll be playing that one too.
If you have total tech (Best Buy) you can go in and they might have an extra one for members only.
I picked up a Series S it's great your not missing much if you don't have an X...my cousin was able to get one and meh not that big of a deal S is great
If you get a Series X you dont need a Xbox One the Series X plays every game the One can lol.
My Xbox one is great but the only thing is I sometimes have issues where it blacks out and I have to do a hard reset on it. It’s happened a few times already. And it is kind of slow when starting up. It’s hd, can play movies, games, and has tons of apps for streaming. I like my Xbox 360 for games but it doesn’t really have streaming so well I don’t think.
@@sallysmith8408 This reminds me of Apple slowing down their older phones with updates as a incentive for people to get their newer model.
One of my favorite features of my Xbox one is the backwards compatibility with the 360. So many of those games are dirt cheap these days, and I live for it
This is so weird, I literally found my old 360 and set it up last night. I remembered its backwards compatible and now I'm half way through playing Halo 2. Such an amazing game and wonderful era of gaming. Going to play through the original gears of war afterwards!
The first couple Halo and Gears games are so fun, especially on the hardest modes with a friend.
Nice! I remember trying to play OG Xbox games on mine but found out it's not completely backwards compatible so half my games didn't work

I think the 360 might be my second favorite system, after the NES. It definitely had its problems (I had 5 systems red ring). It was a great time for gaming. The 360 might have one of the best game libraries in existence.

@@elizabethbravo6168 is that actual facts or just your opinion? Not trying to sound rude because I agree with they way the list is put together for sure. I feel like nowadays pc is the best hands down
I agree.
The power vrick had a lot of different voltages it supplied, but it also had its own fan and cooling vents so it needed space for air to circulate inside. Very often people open up the console to clean out the fan and heatsink, but don't clean the fan of the PSU.
If you've had Xbox Gold in the past, log in and download all those free 360 games that belong to you!!
The Xbox 360 and the NES are tied in first place, as my all time favorite consoles. To me, gaming peaked out in creativity during the PS3 and Xbox 360 era. Sure, games look better now, but besides looks, I haven’t played anything since then, that really felt like a new experience. Most modern games, just feel like reskinned versions of older games. It’s been a long time, since I booted up a game, and was amazed by it.
This is true.. Gaming companies went from developers with passion to salesmen
I completely agree. The 360 was such a big leap In everything from the 6th generation consoles. I haven’t felt that way since.
I think computer technology as a whole is coming to a point where the limitations are above what developers need out of the system. Consider the jump from NES to SNES, or from SNES to ps1/n64, and then compare it to the difference between ps4 and ps5. The 80s-2000s were a time when computer technology growth was lifting limitations that previously held back the potential of devs and ideas.
I got my Xbox 360 In 2011, and I played it continuously until 2019 when I upgraded to the one X. It’s my favorite system still, and I’m glad I never got rid of it.
I bought a 360 E a few months ago. So nice playing modern-ish games without internet or downloads. Best 50 dollars I ever spent!
(Also whatnot is addictive. Which is bad for the credit card.)
Playing Gears of War in 2006 was a truly next generation experience; simply jaw dropping. Any Xbox built Nov/2008 and beyond has the cooler Jasper chipset aka, no more RROD.
RROD?
@@neogeo1670 red ring of death
Just got the same model of the 360 as well in January. Am so happy to play old games that aren't backwards compatible but the value went up on a lot of them.
LOVE the 360... I'd still be playing on that hardware today if I could but so much is unsupported and frankly have no room. Even with the Red Ring of Death, when the system works... it worked for me, if ya know what I mean. This was my first non-Nintendo or Non-Sega system I ever owned. I bought another 360 after my first died, and that other model never RROD'd ever
I bought an OG X-Box late last year... My first ever X-Box 😁
Found a 360 S at a Goodwill last year, perfect condition, bought it to replace my Fat PS3. It came with Halo Reach, Far Cry 3&4, GTA IV, Crash: Wrath of Cortex, Gunstringer, Hexic & I think some other stuff. I realize now how much I missed out, the 360 is a great system. I had an OG Xbox too, wish I hadn't sold it.
Coooool😎!
I bought one in late December too. Just for exclusives. That console generation is arguably my favorite so I wanted to widen my horizons.
After losing my last 360, my little brother handed down his “newer” 360 to me. I get to play all my old games-Catherine, new Vegas, L4D. Too bad I can’t play my digital games.
A guy was giving away the same model that you bought in Sydney for free with 8 games. I went over and picked it up the other week and it was all working (controllers needed some foil to make it work). As someone who has never owned an XBox I am looking forward to playing some of their classics.
Glad to see some retro stuff again. I think the time is right to start re-visiting some great 360 games.
It's crazy.... I have my PS 5 & X Box Series X with an XBox 360 (also re-purchased) sitting next to it! Gotta have it to play keyboards on Rock Band, Beatles Rock Band, NHL Hitz, and Circus Maximus... All of which I play with friends regularly. I also thought that the X-Box Live store was amazing for its time too... Lots of cool, smaller games available. I hardly ever go on the store now.
Still rocking the PS3 and Xbox 360. I mean I have a Ps4 as well but the 7th Gen consoles will always have a special place in my heart. I did love the Ps2 as well but I really got to grow up with the ps3 and Xbox 360…. I hope they don’t go offline for awhile longer…. I know they will have to at some point though.
I used to have an Xbox 360 Slim that died on me and I was so devastated that I went and got another one right away. I usually don't do that but the 360 was a brilliant system.
I have 3 of these bad boys. One i bought, the other my friend gave it to me because it didn't read discs and the 3rd i found at the dump and it works better than my first one
We had Halo LAN parties many many weekends. Had RRoD that MS fixed for free and still have it to this day. Slim & E models are extremely reliable. The power brick kept the heat outside the console & was easily replaced vs if it were built into the console. Controllers were solid and still work to this day because of the ability to use AA batteries wether they were standard AA or rechargeable. I have PS3 comptrollers that no longer work because the built in battery no longer holds a charge. Yes, you can take the controller apart & replace but not everyone knows how or are confident doing so.
I love the 360, so many good games that at least were pretty cheap. The limited edition consoles are amazing with new power on sounds and stuff, like the R2-D2 one. Bang for the buck in the last few years has been totally awesome!
My xbox 360 died a few years back in 2007 or 2008. So shortly after i went to a local game store by my apt. They had the arcade version with hdmi output. Slapped in the 20gb hard drive i had. i still have that 360 & works to this day. Playing gears of war 1-3 , burnout revenge , call of duty 2 online & rockband & guitar hero locally with friends was great fun & an awesome time. Good memories
It's kinda odd how they got rid of the ability to use component in E models, but they still kept the ability to use composite, even though component is better than composite, but less than HDMI.
So many good memories. My son and I spent hundreds of hours over a summer learning all the glitches in advanced warfare on our 360. Best controllers ever made too
I bought an X360 pretty recently myself this year. I've been needing a wired controller to play steam games (much easier than troubleshooting with PS4 or Switch Pro controllers) but also have some old games on the system I've wanted to play and finish, like Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon respectively. The game selection is limited though and not a whole lot I want out of it (JRPG fan here) but it has exclusives so I decided to hit two birds with one stone purchase.
AV port doubles as a headphone jack on the E models. What I do is have a 3.5mm extension cable with a volume dial on it and plug my headphones straight in. It's pretty nifty.
I've been playing the 360 since 2012. It's such a sweet console, and tbh, a very underrated console. When I was in the 2nd grade (2005-2006 school year), I remember so many kids talking about how awesome their 360 is, and I thought I'd never get my hands on one. Then on Christmas 2012 me and my brother were given a 360 slim. It ran super well all the way until May 2021 when it got the red ring of death. That was an easy fix though, we just got another one off ebay, then popped the hard drive in and it runs just as well. I let my brother have that one, and I got the 360 E for myself. The 360 definitely has always been a favorite for me 😁
Man 2nd grade for me was snes vs genesis days lol. I was more of a ps2 fan back when they first came out but over the years I realized 360 is better. I've had mine for 12 years now
@@boogeritus2488 Mann, I feel like people sleep on 360 nowadays. I still play mine, I actually got 3 of them. A 360 E, and 2 slims (one glossy black, and a matte black one)

@@thequestioner5916 I do have an Xbox One too. It's still going strong too. Might get a Series X in the future, but I'm not in a real hurry to get it just yet at this point in time of my life.
Bought an OG Xbox, Retrotink 5x and the last gen of 360 the last few months. Tired of the lack of performance some games have on backwards compatibility and/or wondering if the game is BC without looking it up. It's been great and inexpensive to collect for. Minus, 50 Cent Blood in tha Sand, Manhunt, and Silent Hill 2: Restless Dreams. So good to visit the many great games that I never got to play.
I thought hard about this some time ago and the 360 is my favorite console of all time. I date back to the beginning of the OG NES days so I’ve seen some cycles. Shiny HD graphics, built in online capability, Xbox Live Arcade, and so many of my all time favorite games launching over the years (Oblivion/Skyrim, Dragon Ages, Demons Souls, Mass Effects, Halos, Gears, Etc.). And I can put the disc in and play it without having to download 40Gb which means I actually own the game. Bought a second (Elite) about 3 months back and absolutely love it. Still actively collecting all those hidden gems that eluded me back in the day. Prices are still low and availability is high.
A triumph. It's nice to hear "I actually own this game". So much of the games today give you a sh!t ton of patches, updates well over 20 gigs. With 360 you got the disc and your on your way.
@@samfrito Physical or digital, you don't own the game, it is just a license that can be taken away at any time. See the Telltale game discs that were bricks for a long time for proof of this.
@@supersanic1254 hold on. I have Sega CD games, Dreamcast games, some GameCube games and OG Xbox games. I own those and they NEVER stopped working. You maybe right about the practices of the last few gens, but when I pop in Nights into Dreams in my Saturn I'm believing I have a game I'm actually playing-- that I actually bought, and own for the rest of my gaming life. Unless otherwise shown, anything that has to connect to the internet to confirm the rights to play falls into that digital dominance of these last few gens of manufacturing.
just got my xbox 360 in 2023 and well its just like my old one but better no sign of the ring of death its been 3 months now and everythings fine.
I recently purchased an Xbox X as my first next gen system. The X series is quite the upgrade in regards to having the ability to play 4K games and etc. However, I still find myself in the unique position on continuing to utilize the Xbox 360 as my Windows Media extender (WMC) from my PC's WMC. I found the Xbox X series a system which should replace the X360 but learning that WMC has been discontinued by Microsoft themselves for several years, next "gen" system will never have this app unless there is a demand.
Awesome. The Xbox 360 is so nostalgic to me. I recently hooked mine up to my TV again, my controller was broken so I had to get a new one, but once that comes, best believe I will be reliving my childhood on this thing!
I have my 5th Xbox 360 and I use it mainly for Digital Pinball and Rocksmith 2014 with a USB to instrument cable to play my Bass Ukulele. I recently picked up a Series X via Target and have not taken it out of the box (yet), A treat for when I rework the Office and Streaming rig.
I was disappointed that My Midway Classics for the original Xbox Was not backward compatible but was able to get a digital version for five bucks.
I actually brought my first 360 on Monday 13th March 23, I'm in uk but I'm halo nfs forza etc now, bring back the old gamer in me
I was lucky to buy a brand new 360 E Slim back in May 2021. I was back into collecting video games; and while 2021 onward may be the worst time to collect video games, I had no regrets getting this system back. The Xbox 360, while most look into PS3 / Wii for 1st Party Exclusives, import scene, collecting value ; the Xbox 360 E Slim ( the one RGT 85 shows ) is best out of the previous two systems. You can be able to obtain 3rd Party Titles for a reasonable price in comparison to the PS3 versions, you can install the disc on your hard drive, where when you boot up the your game disc, the disc will not spin and will act as an disc reader - meaning it'll play. The 360 also plays around 50 % of Original Xbox games, which is cool. Its a great system, the games are way cheaper than PS3 titles as nobody cares nor sees value on 360 . So if you are wanting to start building a game collection, the Xbox 360 is a no brainer as well as the Wii & Ps3
I have three 360s at the moment. My main one is the Halo 4 edition (bought it boxed, including the special edition controllers). Picked up two more last year for like 40 bucks each, both came bundled with about 20 games. Great way to expand the games collection!
I have 4 360's that I do LAN parties with my kids occasionally... Tracked down multiple copies of all lan capable games... They were cheap... So fun when do that...
The 360 was pretty cool and though the red ring kinda affected the later model it was still a good console
Red ring effected early models the most
I don't recall much if any news of the red ring affecting later models, only knew of it affecting the pre HDMI systems. The second, updated model (Xbox 360 S, also known as the 'Slim' model) are a lot more reliable. I have had mine since 2010, still plays like a dream. Sitting between my OG Xbox and Series X under my tv.
360 is still my favorite system of all time. Just picked up another unit at a retro gaming expo this past weekend. Thanks for the video!

Recently went to visit a family member and found my old Xbox 360 set up. Naturally I ended up buying a copy of Project Gotham Racing 3, it was my first 360 game and it's still so good.
Man seeing this just makes me reminisce on how much I went through when my original first Xbox 360 had went out , no red ring of death the AC plug went out and no replacement I got was working and funny enough RGT has the same Xbox I got to replace my original one but back to what I was saying I went about a whole presidential term and maybe a bit more without a new one and either last year or the year before I got tired of not having a 360 kause I missed playing MW3 , raging blast 1 and 2 and I wanted to get a 360 to play games I missed that I watch my fav UA-camr play for example , family guy back to the multiverse, The Godfather games blitz the league 2 max Payne 3 destiny (when it was actually worth a damn) Disney infinity and burst limit. And now I’ve had for a year or a little over and I’m glad I reclaimed one of my main sources of happiness so I’m glad to see people still rep this 💯💚💚💚💚✅
Love this comment
RTG, you are correct, the original white 360 did not have HDMI with the early models; however, later white models also had HDMI and the RROD ended when the reduced Jasper chipset released in original white models starting from November, 2008 models of the console.
Great video! I am still a 360 fan, and I have 4 of them on hand. As you said, that was the last generation in which the graphical jump was so massive, and the fact that the increases have seemed less so from 360 to current gen is why, at least to me, many 360 titles still hold up well. I recently added a model E to my stable, and I really wish Microsoft hadn't gone with that half high gloss look. It scuffs way too easily.
Give me one bro pls im broke 😣💔
Can I get one?
I've got a refurbished fat 2007 Zephyr Microsoft fixed in 2009.
A 2009 v2 Jasper Kronos and a slim Corona 2011.
The refurbished Zephyr and the slim were less than 60 dollars along with psus and two controllers. The Jasper was loose for less than 20. I bought a separate Microsoft psu for a Falcon that's forward compatible for a few bucks. The official Microsoft psus are pricey online.
I recently went traveling and took my 360 instead of my series x. On my down time i would play it for a bit and remembered how fun it was to use.
I actually bought a 360 a few weeks ago, and it was this same E Model. I actually never knew they released another model after the S Model, which was the last one I had years ago.
As cool as the E models are they dont look as good as the Slim models do.
I still think the slim is one of the best looking consoles ever. With that said i might pick up a E.
I love the Xbox 360 ! Still have mine from 2008 the original design which is a damn good looking console...my older brother has the E version and he said he was going to gift it too me hopefully soon
That’s the first game I played when I got a 360 about two years ago. It was fun, but a few too many spots where the challenge was figuring out where to move a dinosaur so that you could open a gate.
I legit have 4 Xbox 360 consoles because of the red ring lol still lot of great memories on the system. I have at least 2 of them working with one being an Xbox 360 Slim. However, I loaned my brother my slim to watch Netflix on it cause I got the Xbox one and he returned it to me 2 years later with no power supply haha so now I need a new power brick to see how the system is doing. Great vid!
It's a nice system. I was very late to the party (beeing a PS3 guy) and didn't buy one until 2013. Still have quite a few games left to play on it. Some of those will be playable on my Xbone, but not all. The REALLY weird thing is that I (for reasons I don't really understand myself) still think the X360 feels lika fairly modern console, despite being last-last-gen. 😅
Just bought an Original Xbox and latest model 360 a few weeks ago. These will be relics.
I started with the PS3 then got the 360 later
After all the problems were ironed out
But played most this gen on the PS3
You and Spawnwave are feeling extra Nostalgic over here! 🎮👌🏻
Best version of the 360 imo. Tidy design, hdmi port, physical eject button and built in WiFi (no need for 1 of them annoying dongles).
Just bought an Xbox 360 S 250GB for 75 euro, can’t wait to play it!
Xbox 360 is the best controller hands down 🙌
Yo! I'm a big fan of XBOX 360. I agree with you. This system was a game changer. I remember camping out in Santa Monica to get one. Purchased my first HD TV around the same time too! Amazing times!
I sold mine to get a Series X... But now I want one again 😭
I have many 360s but the best $ i ever spent was buying a RGH modded 360 slim about 2 years ago. Its amazing for playing 360 games, backups, homebrew, etc...but my personal favorite part is the whitelisted backward compatibility list that expanded the amount of bootable og xbox titles. Its not perfect but its really cool if youre into that feature. Being able to backup the discs is a sweet feature as well.
I’m looking to play the original Xbox EA Fight Night 2004… is it backwards compatible?
360 games still look good over 15 years later.
The bricks housed the 360's power supply. Microsoft went external to limit the console's overall size, which was a chief complaint about their first gen. That and their mammoth controllers (The Duke). Laptops typically have the same setup.
Cod was such a great game!🤩 The campaign and multiplayer were so much fun.
Btw sold my 360 in 2022. It was collecting dust. Ofcourse I still have the controller 😍🎮
Good video. I just picked up a 360 last month. I’m having a blast with it. It’s a great system. I hope you enjoy yours.
Ya my name is rgt and I stopped buying retro games boys
I also bought myself a 360 a couple of months ago. Had to play 5 games on this system and 5 games only: Magna Carta, Lost Odyssey, Infinite Undiscovery, Blue Dragon and The Last Remnant.
I still have the one I bought in 2008.
I’m surprised it’s still going lol
What are your gaming habits? If I may ask, do you play for more than one hour at a time or for several hours at a time? I've had mine for a decade but I only play short 1hr 1/2 sessions here and there, so I've always wondered if this prolonged it's life because it never gets too hot.
@@naughtydog9843 I played the same timeframe as you. Now it’s just an Ancient Relic

Damn man, I got a working E model for free when someone dumped one in front of my old work place haha. Keep in mind OG Xbox games on the 360 can be super glitchy though.
Just bought one for my collection, can't wait to get it!
No one should need to buy the xbox 360 at all it’s not a console that you should of got rid of in the first place it’s not a failure it was the first console that gave achievements that had so many classic arcade games such as Pac-Man teenage mutant ninja turtles arcade Simpson much more it was playing so many original xbox games I never got rid of mine I still play with it the same goes for PS3 the only consoles you should get rid of is the NES Super Nintendo Sega Genesis all the 16 bits consoles Atari consoles the consoles that released in 2005-2006 are amazing this was just the beginning but for Nintendo they are all the same Nintendo 64 to Nintendo switch same graphics
I remember playing on the old 360, went through 5 of them. Most came to their fait with the red ring of death, whilst my 5th one was the last Xbox 360 i'd ever buy, and the last one to ever play. I went through so many memories from B02, FH1 - FH2, CoD Ghosts and so many more, 7 years of playing on that console, then came 2019, I sold that 360 and I upgraded to the Xbox 1S and I still have that console 3 years later.
Wow $100!! I picked up a 4gb console only for £5 and a 250gb with power brick, hdmi cable & 1x controller for £25. Very cheap here in the UK! Just in the process of making a video of completely cleaning it. Good video.
It’s a great Games console. I still play it because it’s still working fine and I don’t see a need to buy a new console because it has good games that hold up well in 2023
I got my first console yesterday, found an xbox 360 call of duty version with 2 controllers, and 108 games in boxes for 75$ I played red dead for 15 hours!! I love this!!
I have 2 "elite" xbox 360s that still run just fine, only had to change the belts on the disk drives and clean out the fans and heatsinks every couple of years.
Omg I LOVE how you mentioned the Jurassic Park game, because that's one of the reasons I'm picking up a 360 again since I can't play it on my Series X
Thanks for the nostalgic blast! It really was one of the best 👍🏼
I bought the same model myself earlier this year! This model came out the same time as the Xbox One. I found mine at a thrift store for $65 CDN. I'm a PlayStation gal, but couldn't say no at that price.
I was working at EB games when it came out. It's still my favorite system of all time.
I bought one in late 2021 and am very happy with it. There were some exclusives That I really wanted to play and didn't get around to because I didn't have one and went the playstation route instead.
The 360 is also pretty easy to take apart to clean and change thermal paste ensuring itll last you awhile
I still got mine from when they first came out working perfectly fine 😊
To me the best generation of consoles, are the 6'th and the 7'th generation. So many great games were released. And older games from 8 and 16 bit era were released on those two generations as well. Like virtual console on Wii.
There are MANY reasons I still have my Xbox 360 hooked up. The top 2 are Guitar Hero and Rock Band. Those 2 game series alone are reason enough to have an xbox 360. In my opinion, Xbox 360 was the absolute best system to play them on. I have about 5 different Rock Band games and 7 guitar hero games. There are a few other systems you can play some of them on- PS2, PS3,Wii, and a few newer games on XB1/PS4, but none come close to the games on the 360. Both wired and wireless instrument controllers. Rock on!
I bought an Xbox 360e as my first Xbox as they were doing huge price drops when the One came out. 2 years ago I bought a 360 slim and have them networked together to play LFD2. Lots of fun.
You made me smile with your enthusiasm rgt good on you
A few months ago I was having a clear out and found a load of 360 games and my old white console which no longer worked so I thought I would buy a second hand 360 slim console on Ebay just for old times sake and so glad I did I got a 200 GB slim console with controller and it all came in original box and all for 30 English pounds as I live in the UK still play it today so glad I bought it totally respect your idea mate 💯
I'm an old man of 68 and I used to have Xbox360 when they first came out, I ended up giving it to my grown son for his kids years ago. Well I just bought a used one, bought a hard drive from Ebay and just started GTA 5. :)
Good for you buddy! I’m about to do the same!
I got one for my birthday in 2013, and I still play it regularly! And I LOVE IT!
Just bought an Xbox 360 today. Forgot how much I loved the system. My first red ringed. My second one lasted forever. Hope this one will be fine. But the games and the library were so good, even when considering there wasn't any real substantial amount of exclusives.
I am a PlayStation fanboy, but since seeing a modded XBOX back in 2004 I always wanted to have one and witht he prices of XBOX 360's being dirt cheap I just picked one up and have RGH'd it and man it is awesome. Not needing to use the DVD drive to play the games, cheap as games . I feel like the 360 has reached the bottom of the price curve. I paid NZ$50 for my slim with a power brick and controller. I am happy to be part of the XBOX club now.
Still have my Star Wars Xbox 360 right next to my xbox1s and OG Xbox. All work great! Super video!
I still have my 360, been lucky not getting the Red Ring issue, but I fear inevitably it's going to happen sooner or later. I'm not sure if I'll get a newer Xbox as many of the games I have for it I can play on my Switch as they've been ported over... but if I can transfer over my downloads and be able to still play my 360 disks to the newer console, I'll consider it
