I’m a huge PlayStation fan now but man, growing up with the 360 was something else. Some of my greatest gaming memories with friends and my brother were on that console. I’m so nostalgic for that original blade UI lol.
The 360 will always be my favorite console of all time. It holds such a special place in my heart and reminds me of some of my favorite childhood memories. Shoutout to Oblivion! Played the ever living shit out of that game every day after school 🤣
Got mine last year & currently have about 25 games. Have a list of about 60 more I’m wanting to get. Never been a huge physical copy guy but the 360 has a special place in my heart 🙌🏻
Wow usually I have heard the opposite. Most people switch from PS2 to Xbox 360, then when the Xbox One came out switched back to PS4. Me and many of my friends did such. This generation was so good wish I could have had all three but settled for the 360 and Wii.
@@smittypwnzThat's the most common I've seen, I didn't go to Xbox because of having to pay for Xbox live to play online, also the poor Xbox live performance. I don't know if anyone remembers but Xbox live was REALLY bad when it launched, and you had to pay for it, meanwhile on PS3 it was free with 32+player counts with no performance issues, it also had better exclusives towards the end of the life cycle, switched to PC after the 7th generation and I'm playing the backlog of exclusives on both sides now through the ports, I did probably miss out as I heard Halo and the Gears series were amazing on the 7th generation
@@Skdjefkrkfnfne Id argue Xbox was only better than PlayStation during the OG Xbox and PS2 era, Xbox was easier to develop for and had better hardware, since then PlayStation has had better hardware every generation with the exception of the 360 having more ram
Man I don’t understand getting rid of old consoles, the memories and nostalgia alone makes them worth keeping. I still have NES, SNES, Genesis, N64, Dreamcast, GC, PS2, XB, Wii, PS3, 360, Wii U, Switch, PS4 and XB1. Only ones I got rid of were Game Gear, Game Boy Color, and 3DS. Never had SMS, Neo Geo, Turbo Grfx, Jaguar, PS1, or Saturn.
Growing up I could only get new games during my birthdays and Christmas so the only way I could get new ones between those times was to sell my old stuff
I still play mine. Modern gaming is a bit ass so I'm catching up with 360 games I didn't get around to that I purchased. The 360 makes modern Xbox look like the joke it really is. I don't see how the Xbox faithful can find positives out of the way the Xbox went after the 360 era was done. The 360 and ps2 will never be topped. The variety. Complete games, no 100gb patches needed, the focus on gameplay instead of ray traced grass blades. Great times to be a gamer.
This gave me ptsd, my Xbox 360 arcade had red ring as soon as I opened it... On Christmas day! My Xbox 360 E had red ring after a few days...I went through 4 of these consoles and it's still probably my favourite console of all time 😂
My favorite Xbox 360 games are Mass Effect, Dragon Age Origins, Fallout 3 and New Vegas, Skyrim, Dead Space, Gears of War, Fable 2/3, Fear 1, 2, 3, Bioshock. I'm sure I'm missing some games.....

i missed out COMPLETELY on the xbox lineup growing up. i was strictly on Playstations. Dbz Budokai Tenkaichi got me hooked and I'm just now realizing games like the Budokai/Tenkaichi series', TEKKEN, Resident Evil HD, Resident Evil 4, and a few others were NEVER on Xbox until the 360 came around. we PS2 mains were SO LUCKY.
Mine still works. It’s handy to play games that are not backwards compatible. Since new games suck now, I can play Transformers, Trials Evolution, and Williams Pinball.
I know people reminisce about the heyday era of the 360 games, but the crossgen period with Xbox One/PS4 was what really blew my mind. It's unbelievable to have a console that can play games from 2005 and even earlier thanks to BC and also play pretty new games like Rise of The Tomb Raider or Dragon Age Inquisition. Hell, I still play Destiny online on the 360 with a pretty live clan, the range and scope of that machine is mindboggling.
Most of the 360 capcom fighting games are on sale for $1-$1.50 right now until the store closes in July. SF3 Third Strike Online Edition (considered the best way to play third strike) is $1.50. Darkstalkers is $1.50, a bunch of versions of sf2 are similarly priced. Other capcom games are marked down to a few dollars as well. Great stuff. Most of the mentioned capcom fighting games are stuck on 360 so get them before the store goes down.
Been FOMO buying the hell out of the 360, so many loose ends I still wanted to get and figured I'd get them now. The library was so incredible and plentiful that there were so many games that I missed out on. Divinty 2 Dragon Knight Saga was one of those games I wasn't expecting to be sucked into but the music is definitely A tier IMO. Kudos to the Naruto 360 games for having the actual music from the show, I remember Rise of the Ninja being my entry into series.
Yoo I got the exact same Star Wars edition Xbox with the golden controller. I remember getting it used in December 2018 from GameStop and was lucky that it came with a C-3PO gold controller. It’s a great console and my childhood. Xbox was at its peak during this generation especially when slim models came out.
+1 for Rise of a Ninja! I tried that game after I saw you and many others I respect praising the game and ended up making a whole video myself on it just because it was that good!

Definitely wanna grab a 360 before the year is over but I want the older version so I can play the games that are on my hard drive I also bought The Saboteur and I've been dying to play it for the first time
When does the digital store shut down? I don’t think you mentioned the date. Great video by the way. My physical game collecting is on pause to free up fund for my other hobbies, but I’ll resume eventually. Keep the 360 videos coming! Metal Jesus stopped doing collection videos quite some time ago. So another channel picking up the mantel would be great.
I bought my 1st 360 in 2008, pretty much for the original Mass Effect and Assassins Creed games. Shocked there were`nt any Gears of War games on your list, 1st one was epic.
I know everyone loved the Blades UI, but that "New Xbox Experience" ui was perfection to me. Every update after was such a downgrade. Especially when they went towards that "Metro" UI during the era of Windows 8 and Windows Phone
Matty I'm so glad you mentioned Overlord, that game is awesome! Really great humor and fun gameplay that is a bit clunky at times but for sure worth playing, I still have my OG copy from several years ago. Keep up the good work man 🤙
Got myself an E system after my back compat PS3 got the YLOD. Feels great playing the system from my childhood once more, and managed to find some sick deals on some 360 and OG Xbox titles!
The Xbox 360 has one of the best libraries worth of games (exclusive and multi-plat games) and I've been a proud 360 user since 2007 when I first got the 20gb pro model and I'm currently using the S model manufactured in early 2011 since my OG 360 succumbed to the red ring of death (RROD). As far as I understand, many people purchasing the 360 are concerned about picking up a sturdy and reliable model that will last long term. Here's my advice for picking up the most reliable model: 1. If the model you're looking at is the original model manufactured from 2005 to 2007 with any of the following motherboards: Xenon, Zephyr, Opus, and Falcon, avoid it at all costs. Xenon models from 2005 to early 2007 are infamous RROD ticking time bomb machines because they come with atrocious CPU capacitors, atrocious DVD drives, and an unreliable GPU with atrocious underfill. Zephyrs introduced in early 2007 are nothing but Xenons that come with HDMI and still use the awful GPU underfill Xenons have. Early Falcon models from late 2007 contain a revised CPU but still use awful heatsinks that made Zephyr models unreliable and Opus models are early Falcon models without HDMI. 2. Be careful about picking up Falcon models from 2008 as well. Later Falcon models from 2008 use an improved GPU underfill for better reliability than Xenon, Zephyr, Opus, and Early Falcon models but recently, I'm seeing more Falcon models from 2008 succumb to the RROD 3. If you want the original model, hunt down ones manufactured from 2009 to 2010 since they use the Jasper motherboard, which is arguably one of the most reliable motherboards with significantly improved heatsinks and GPU underfill to enhance the reliability of the console itself. Jasper models use the least amount of power of all original 360 models. 4. When shopping for S models, try to hunt down the early S models manufactured form 2010 to July 2011. These use the Trinity motherboard, which combine the CPU and GPU in one chip and use the reliable flash chip from the historically reliable Jasper models. 5. If the S model you're looking at is manufactured from August 2011 to 2013, keep these details in mind before making a purchase. S models from August 2011 to 2013 use the Corona motherboard that's less reliable than Jasper and Trinity motherboards. Later S models with the Corona motherboard manufactured from 2012 to 2013 contain the less reliable 4GB NAND flash chip (main point of failure, opening the door to hardware problems on S models). Earlier S models with the Corona motherboard manufactured in 2011 use the more reliable 16 MB NAND flash chip 6. When looking at E models from 2013 to 2016, carefully think first before purchasing them. Xbox 360 E models are significantly reliable in comparison to early original models but E models are quite known for its cheap build quality that weakens reliability to a degree and I've witnessed a handful of E models succumbing to the RROD due to XCGPU failures. Microsoft's only rationale behind the E model was to sell even cheaper models to rack up last ditch profits before the conclusion of the 360 lifespan.
Got mine earlier this new year…just randomly thought which system did i enjoy and spend time the most and it was the 360…so i ended up buying an OG xbox and the 360…
You can play all three of the major Elder Scrolls games, and Fallout 3 and New Vegas. Xbox 360 is the only way to play the original Skyrim without pirating.
Now is the time! Got me a Halo 4 - gears 3 and MW3 Xbox slim all practically new, no boxes sadly but! Still they are beautiful. I just Need the Star Wars edition
(wrote this before watching the vid, a few of these got recommended in the video!) I have a pretty vast 360 library. 200+ digital games, 78 physical games and 300+ demos and trials. My recommendations would be: Digital: Blade Kitten, Battleblock Theater, Charlie Murder, Dungeon Defenders, Fez, Super Meat Boy, Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons (or just go Xbox One, which has a physical release), The Dishwasher: Vampire Smile, The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai Physical: X-Blades, Tekken: Tag Tournament 2, Catherine, SSX, The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon, Soul Calibur V, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, Naruto: Rise of a Ninja, Naruto: The Broken Bond, Plants VS. Zombies (physical includes Peggle and Zuma. I like Peggle a lot, Zuma confused me), Diablo III: Reaper of Souls, Alice: Madness Returns, Fairytale Fights I haven't played every game I own, far from it. Many of my titles I got digitally were from years of Gold. Games I haven't tried yet but want to try out soon (they look REALLY good) Digital: Anna, Alien Spidy, Strider, Nights Into Dreams Physical: Magna Carta 2, Wet, Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection, Cartoon Network: Punch Time Explosion XL Lastly, a few honorable mentions: The Sims 3, Rayman Legends (Xbox One is also an option), Naruto: Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja: Storm 3 (wayyy better than 4, longer adventure mode by far), Child of Eden, The Lord of the Rings: War in the North, Call of Duty: Black Ops II, Lollipop Chainsaw
I love how Matty is familiar with all these obscure games like Army Corps of Hell, Operation Darkness, Project Sylpheed, Ninety Nine Nights, etc. that I thought only I remembered lol. And then the Persona 5 Tactica music playing in the background is the cherry on top.
I’d say all of you should either mod your console or use a send in service. 360’s are probably only are going to go up in price dramatically especially modded consoles
I actually managed only a few weeks back to get hold of a 360s halo 4 edition which is what I originally had years ago. So yea… I got my 360 back and I’m chuffed
Just got one yesterday for 65 bucks pretty excited to get some new Xbox games. I was always a PlayStation guy, but I do want to have 360 i got the E model and skate 3
I loved how playful and social Xbox 360 was. It was a lot like adult Nintendo. The star wars one with the golden c-3po controller and modern warfare 3 console with the killstreak sounds were my favorites.
I finally decided to get a RGH Xbox 360. Was able to get damn near every Xbox live Arcade game. SOME original Xbox games working, and a program to dump your 360 discs on it. There is even a program out there to let you transfer save files to different profiles so you can get back to where you left off. If anything RGH your Xbox or go buy one so you can still have the original.
The S is the one to get. It's more reliable and looks better than the others. I still have mine (plus a couple of Pro's, one works, one doesn't). With the Pro models I had more trouble with the disc drives dying than I did RRoD. Never had an issue with an S model.
Be careful with digital purchases on 360, I have several games that I paid for like Afterburner Climax that got delisted, and since pretty much every arcade game I own defaults to a trial version when offline, it was unplayable for me once I disconnected. I also tried deleting it, assuming I could redownload it (it even shows in my purchase list) but it just gives me a 'product not found' error. Same with anything released under the 'Indie Games' label, it's all just straight up gone, my downloaded purchased versions are just trials now, and the games can't be redownloaded or played offline. I wouldn't be comfortable spending any money on digital titles from Xbox anymore, since they've shafted me out of hundreds of dollars of purchases. And yes, it's set as my home Xbox.
One of the few reasons I started collecting for the 360 a couple years ago was because the games were cheap. I get the digital store shutting down sucks but I bet nobody was buying from it a year or two ago because games were full price and cheaper physically. Now it’s going to be an excuse for resellers to jack up prices.
Still have my model s as they were going out of stock then went on a ~7 yrs gaming hiatus. So I have some catching up I'd like to do, but the problem now is finding the games that interest me for a reasonable price.
Surprisingly I have actually kept up with my Xbox 360 from whenever I was a teenager. Not the first gen but the Xbox 360 S with the gloss case. I ended up getting for my birthday because the first one Red Ringed. It does need some love. It needs a new fan because the fan doesn't cool the system as well as it used to and I have taken it apart already to clean it up and change the thermal compound but in the process of doing that I ripped the ribbon cable that lets you do the touch power button but other than that it's been a solid system and I still use it from time to time. Mostly for my random wants to play guitar hero lol.
My 360 died and I gave my collection to my young brother. I bought another one in 2024 with more than 60 games for 300$ CAD. It's valued at 1000$ CAD now. I acted fast on some games like N3 II.
The golden era. Even though I'm on PS now this was a pinnacle time in my gaming history. My first foray in online gaming, gears, cod 4 and Halo 3 were and still are top tier.
if you plan on getting a 360 make sure its not an early model because they will get red ring of death. (i know because i sent mine about 4-5 times to get fixed back then). Now i have the xbox 360 slim e model and it seems to work fine.
Probably best to get a series console at this point and play the games through backwards compatibility. Thats honestly the only reason the series x is sitting in my shelve.
I recently dusted off my xbox 360, and picked up a few of my old collection. Starting off with the Wolverine game from 09, then going for The saboteur. I need a break from modern gaming
I have a PS3 and been collecting that, but I don't have a 360. I have a Series X so I'll just play the backwards compatibles games. A tough decision sure, but I'm not made of money.
Depending on where you live, 360 is pretty affordable. I have PS3,PS5 and PS Vita, and got 360 recently and I don't regret it. Slim versions usually go for 40-70 dollars or euros, depending on listing.
The XBOX 360 Era was one of the greatest eras of gaming. And sadly never to be repeated.
It's depressing to think about 😢
Thank god we have 360 still
I just bought 60, 360 games for 100 dollars. On the store. And have over 100 physical copies.
It’s rose colored glasses. The first half of the 360 was great, then they doubled down on Kinect and lost the console war, finishing third yet again.
I’m a huge PlayStation fan now but man, growing up with the 360 was something else. Some of my greatest gaming memories with friends and my brother were on that console. I’m so nostalgic for that original blade UI lol.

Oh to be a teen in 2007 playing oblivion for the first time again…

Definitely wanna grab a 360 before the year is over but I want the older version so I can play the games that are on my hard drive I also bought The Saboteur and I've been dying to play it for the first time
When does the digital store shut down? I don’t think you mentioned the date.
Great video by the way. My physical game collecting is on pause to free up fund for my other hobbies, but I’ll resume eventually.
Keep the 360 videos coming! Metal Jesus stopped doing collection videos quite some time ago. So another channel picking up the mantel would be great.
It’s already closed unfortunately
@@tcsutton9121 Darn it :( Thx for the update!
I hold to my Xbox 360 since 2007 until now and it is still functional with out any issue and have over 200 physical games in my library 😊
Forza Motorsport 4 was the best in the franchise. I'm sure it's backward compatible but you'd still have to find a disc.
I bought my 1st 360 in 2008, pretty much for the original Mass Effect and Assassins Creed games. Shocked there were`nt any Gears of War games on your list, 1st one was epic.
This was my brother and I’s childhood 360, we shared it but I got the 3P0 controller 😎
Man that black 360 is one of the best looking consoles 😍
I know everyone loved the Blades UI, but that "New Xbox Experience" ui was perfection to me. Every update after was such a downgrade. Especially when they went towards that "Metro" UI during the era of Windows 8 and Windows Phone
Matty I'm so glad you mentioned Overlord, that game is awesome! Really great humor and fun gameplay that is a bit clunky at times but for sure worth playing, I still have my OG copy from several years ago. Keep up the good work man 🤙
Got myself an E system after my back compat PS3 got the YLOD. Feels great playing the system from my childhood once more, and managed to find some sick deals on some 360 and OG Xbox titles!
The Xbox 360 has one of the best libraries worth of games (exclusive and multi-plat games) and I've been a proud 360 user since 2007 when I first got the 20gb pro model and I'm currently using the S model manufactured in early 2011 since my OG 360 succumbed to the red ring of death (RROD). As far as I understand, many people purchasing the 360 are concerned about picking up a sturdy and reliable model that will last long term. Here's my advice for picking up the most reliable model:
1. If the model you're looking at is the original model manufactured from 2005 to 2007 with any of the following motherboards: Xenon, Zephyr, Opus, and Falcon, avoid it at all costs. Xenon models from 2005 to early 2007 are infamous RROD ticking time bomb machines because they come with atrocious CPU capacitors, atrocious DVD drives, and an unreliable GPU with atrocious underfill. Zephyrs introduced in early 2007 are nothing but Xenons that come with HDMI and still use the awful GPU underfill Xenons have. Early Falcon models from late 2007 contain a revised CPU but still use awful heatsinks that made Zephyr models unreliable and Opus models are early Falcon models without HDMI.
2. Be careful about picking up Falcon models from 2008 as well. Later Falcon models from 2008 use an improved GPU underfill for better reliability than Xenon, Zephyr, Opus, and Early Falcon models but recently, I'm seeing more Falcon models from 2008 succumb to the RROD
3. If you want the original model, hunt down ones manufactured from 2009 to 2010 since they use the Jasper motherboard, which is arguably one of the most reliable motherboards with significantly improved heatsinks and GPU underfill to enhance the reliability of the console itself. Jasper models use the least amount of power of all original 360 models.
4. When shopping for S models, try to hunt down the early S models manufactured form 2010 to July 2011. These use the Trinity motherboard, which combine the CPU and GPU in one chip and use the reliable flash chip from the historically reliable Jasper models.
5. If the S model you're looking at is manufactured from August 2011 to 2013, keep these details in mind before making a purchase. S models from August 2011 to 2013 use the Corona motherboard that's less reliable than Jasper and Trinity motherboards. Later S models with the Corona motherboard manufactured from 2012 to 2013 contain the less reliable 4GB NAND flash chip (main point of failure, opening the door to hardware problems on S models). Earlier S models with the Corona motherboard manufactured in 2011 use the more reliable 16 MB NAND flash chip
6. When looking at E models from 2013 to 2016, carefully think first before purchasing them. Xbox 360 E models are significantly reliable in comparison to early original models but E models are quite known for its cheap build quality that weakens reliability to a degree and I've witnessed a handful of E models succumbing to the RROD due to XCGPU failures. Microsoft's only rationale behind the E model was to sell even cheaper models to rack up last ditch profits before the conclusion of the 360 lifespan.
Just been on my 360 e 259gb
PGR 4 and 3 ❤❤❤
Still ckass after all those years
What a soundtrack
Karl densons tiny universe 🤟🤟🤟❤️😊
Got mine earlier this new year…just randomly thought which system did i enjoy and spend time the most and it was the 360…so i ended up buying an OG xbox and the 360…
You can play all three of the major Elder Scrolls games, and Fallout 3 and New Vegas.
Xbox 360 is the only way to play the original Skyrim without pirating.
Now is the time! Got me a Halo 4 - gears 3 and MW3 Xbox slim all practically new, no boxes sadly but! Still they are beautiful. I just
Need the Star Wars edition
Matty, I love this channel. Keep it up!
That hoodie is tuff
(wrote this before watching the vid, a few of these got recommended in the video!)
I have a pretty vast 360 library. 200+ digital games, 78 physical games and 300+ demos and trials. My recommendations would be:
Digital:
Blade Kitten, Battleblock Theater, Charlie Murder, Dungeon Defenders, Fez, Super Meat Boy, Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons (or just go Xbox One, which has a physical release), The Dishwasher: Vampire Smile, The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai
Physical:
X-Blades, Tekken: Tag Tournament 2, Catherine, SSX, The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon, Soul Calibur V, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, Naruto: Rise of a Ninja, Naruto: The Broken Bond, Plants VS. Zombies (physical includes Peggle and Zuma. I like Peggle a lot, Zuma confused me), Diablo III: Reaper of Souls, Alice: Madness Returns, Fairytale Fights
I haven't played every game I own, far from it. Many of my titles I got digitally were from years of Gold.
Games I haven't tried yet but want to try out soon (they look REALLY good)
Digital:
Anna, Alien Spidy, Strider, Nights Into Dreams
Physical:
Magna Carta 2, Wet, Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection, Cartoon Network: Punch Time Explosion XL
Lastly, a few honorable mentions:
The Sims 3, Rayman Legends (Xbox One is also an option), Naruto: Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja: Storm 3 (wayyy better than 4, longer adventure mode by far), Child of Eden, The Lord of the Rings: War in the North, Call of Duty: Black Ops II, Lollipop Chainsaw
Can’t believe Ninety-Nine Nights was on of my favorite games on 360 so happy it made the list
I love how Matty is familiar with all these obscure games like Army Corps of Hell, Operation Darkness, Project Sylpheed, Ninety Nine Nights, etc. that I thought only I remembered lol. And then the Persona 5 Tactica music playing in the background is the cherry on top.
I’d say all of you should either mod your console or use a send in service. 360’s are probably only are going to go up in price dramatically especially modded consoles
I actually managed only a few weeks back to get hold of a 360s halo 4 edition which is what I originally had years ago. So yea… I got my 360 back and I’m chuffed
I’m in Sweden and a used 360 S goes for like 30-50$ and a regular one (the one I plan to buy) costs like 20$.
Still got my 360 elite. Even if I don’t use it anymore it’s pretty enough to be a decoration
im collecting all 360 slim special edition, i just need star wars, gears of war, and halo reach.also 360 is my favorite console
Gears of war was my 360 it was so sleek
Just got one yesterday for 65 bucks pretty excited to get some new Xbox games. I was always a PlayStation guy, but I do want to have 360 i got the E model and
skate 3
I loved how playful and social Xbox 360 was. It was a lot like adult Nintendo. The star wars one with the golden c-3po controller and modern warfare 3 console with the killstreak sounds were my favorites.
I finally decided to get a RGH Xbox 360. Was able to get damn near every Xbox live Arcade game. SOME original Xbox games working, and a program to dump your 360 discs on it.
There is even a program out there to let you transfer save files to different profiles so you can get back to where you left off. If anything RGH your Xbox or go buy one so you can still have the original.
The S is the one to get. It's more reliable and looks better than the others. I still have mine (plus a couple of Pro's, one works, one doesn't). With the Pro models I had more trouble with the disc drives dying than I did RRoD. Never had an issue with an S model.
Be careful with digital purchases on 360, I have several games that I paid for like Afterburner Climax that got delisted, and since pretty much every arcade game I own defaults to a trial version when offline, it was unplayable for me once I disconnected. I also tried deleting it, assuming I could redownload it (it even shows in my purchase list) but it just gives me a 'product not found' error. Same with anything released under the 'Indie Games' label, it's all just straight up gone, my downloaded purchased versions are just trials now, and the games can't be redownloaded or played offline. I wouldn't be comfortable spending any money on digital titles from Xbox anymore, since they've shafted me out of hundreds of dollars of purchases.
And yes, it's set as my home Xbox.
Rip
Witcher 2 is best played on Xbox One X or Series X/S. Its enhanced
with better frame rate and resolution.
So many games going up in price. Glad I got most of them already but still so sad to see my $20 tornado outbreak going for $70 in a few months
One of the few reasons I started collecting for the 360 a couple years ago was because the games were cheap. I get the digital store shutting down sucks but I bet nobody was buying from it a year or two ago because games were full price and cheaper physically. Now it’s going to be an excuse for resellers to jack up prices.
@ThatwasaSTRIKE I'm the one that's been buying. But now it's hard to buy at higher price then I've known it to be
Im a die hard xbox fan..have always had xboxs and thats not gonna change
Some games to pick up would be Splatterhouse, Dead or Alive Xtreme 2 or all the WWE games. SVR 2007 and WWE 2K14 are still so good.
Still have my model s as they were going out of stock then went on a ~7 yrs gaming hiatus. So I have some catching up I'd like to do, but the problem now is finding the games that interest me for a reasonable price.
Starting my 360 and ps3 collection soon
Reasons I still have mine Spider-Man web of shadows, edge of time, shattered dimensions. I have my masterchief Xbox special edition. 😊
Surprisingly I have actually kept up with my Xbox 360 from whenever I was a teenager. Not the first gen but the Xbox 360 S with the gloss case. I ended up getting for my birthday because the first one Red Ringed. It does need some love. It needs a new fan because the fan doesn't cool the system as well as it used to and I have taken it apart already to clean it up and change the thermal compound but in the process of doing that I ripped the ribbon cable that lets you do the touch power button but other than that it's been a solid system and I still use it from time to time. Mostly for my random wants to play guitar hero lol.
My 360 died and I gave my collection to my young brother. I bought another one in 2024 with more than 60 games for 300$ CAD. It's valued at 1000$ CAD now. I acted fast on some games like N3 II.
I just bought one this past weekend
I think people should definitely pick up the Dead Or Alive series. Its amazing
I have been on a nostalgia binge the last couple of days with the 360 gen and this was EXACTLY what I needed!
The Witcher 2 is actually backwards compatible on Current Xbox consoles too! Played it a few months ago
Love that you mention Ninety-Nine Nights. Bought a 360 a few months ago just to finally beat that game, 17 years later
Lord of the rings battle for middle earth 2 is my favorite game of all time! 😊 (On the 360)
I loved N3 back in the day and would like it to be remastered but don't think that will ever happen 😅
The golden era. Even though I'm on PS now this was a pinnacle time in my gaming history. My first foray in online gaming, gears, cod 4 and Halo 3 were and still are top tier.
Saboteur would be a cool pick up, as would Table Tennis by Rockstar!
its criminal to not mention gears of war, halo and fable. ITS CRIMINAL
I got my S model in 2011-2 and still have it 🤟🏻
if you plan on getting a 360 make sure its not an early model because they will get red ring of death. (i know because i sent mine about 4-5 times to get fixed back then). Now i have the xbox 360 slim e model and it seems to work fine.
If i were to recommend 2 consoles to anyone today it would be 360 and ps4. Just bonkers libraries.
Probably best to get a series console at this point and play the games through backwards compatibility. Thats honestly the only reason the series x is sitting in my shelve.
Matty must be a big Doors fans. He really rolling with the "light my fire" phrase
I recently dusted off my xbox 360, and picked up a few of my old collection. Starting off with the Wolverine game from 09, then going for The saboteur. I need a break from modern gaming
Wow I completely forgot about the outfit! I rented that at blockbuster hahaha
Well, the final wave of 360 sales was more of a crest. Very disappointing, but I think I will pick up Riddick and Crash Wrath of Cortex anyway.
I have a PS3 and been collecting that, but I don't have a 360. I have a Series X so I'll just play the backwards compatibles games. A tough decision sure, but I'm not made of money.
Depending on where you live, 360 is pretty affordable. I have PS3,PS5 and PS Vita, and got 360 recently and I don't regret it. Slim versions usually go for 40-70 dollars or euros, depending on listing.
Halo 3 custom games was my childhood, Fatman, Ghost Busters, Jenga, among others, we’ll never reach that again
I still have the star wars one I got when I was a kid 💪
I didn't realize the 360 had so many quirky exclusive Japanese games. This makes me genuinely consider picking up an Xbox 360 to add to my collection.
I love my halo reach 360 with the special start and tray sounds
I still have mine and still play it! 😊
