The Xbox 360 was A SUCCESS! Although it has a phew of its ups and downs but overall Literally The best Console ive Ever Had besides the PS3. I will Never Forget about My 360 and how its gotten with Me in the first Place..Xbox One is a Pile of Shit Console from wht ive heard and Its True :p...I'm Retaining My 360 to the point where im Literally Satisfied with it and Move on To new Generation Consoles...Eventhough its gonna be awesome to have a next-gen (PS4) in my hands in the Future but still...Xbox 360 will always Live on In my heart and others...Much Love from Me to Xbox 360 and Microsoft Whom Created This Magnificent Piece of Inspiration Of Gaming :')
How I miss the blades!! I love my 360 and I can see myself using it for a while into this 8th gen....My pile of shame of games is ridiculous! For all it's faults early in this gen the 360 still surprised me - great console.
Does anybody know where to find the video of the guy moving the slim while the disk is still spinning and someone keeps saying "Don't do that!". I thought it would be funny to watch lol
Edit: Nvm found it, if anyone else is interested

I've got one!!!! That they knowingly released it to market with a known default that caused the RROD and then lost one billion dollars covering to pay for it all when people found out so they didn't get sued!! Now that is a company that really cares!
What I'll remember about my 360 is that Halo 3 was epic and worth buying the console for, and that I've gone through 5 consoles in 7 years due to hardware failures (though I only ever paid for one... all died within their warranty period).
1 Like @The_Beanster Halo 3 will without a doubt be the greatest history of all time for me. So far no shooter has had that hyped of a launch (IMO), delivered, had an EXCEPTIONAL community, and competitive multi-player like Halo 3.
RIP
@The_Beanster GOD DAMN MAN WHERE DID YOU STORED THOSE CONSOLES UNDER A BLANKET WHILE PLAYING? VENTILATE MAN VENTILATE.
@Tzunoy Open air, well ventilated, dusted every couple months. Get a clue mr. caps lock moron
The console was designed like crap. Everyone knows this. The slim model is the first one to not have garbage failure rates and also the first one to last me 2 years. I had a video card failure, an HDMI port failure, and two RRODs. Once they replaced it with a slim model I've had no issues, though.
what game is after the gears of war character, it is a man holding up a phone. at about 0:45 seconds
Love my 360. Never let anyone else operate it. EVER. Still got plenty of life left in it, and I see myself still using it in 18 months time given my game backlog. It might well have a companion PS3 by then though. This gen has been amazing.
@svenjl I am betting that after E3 or the PS4 launch there will be a price drop for the PS3....and even for what it costs now with its game library it is a great deal, but I can 100% worry-free recommend that console on exclusives alone.
i enjoyed playing games on the 360... but thats got a lot more to do with the games, and the software that went into creating those games, than M$ and its console. all that gave me was a bitter after taste to an otherwise great gaming generation.
Hip hip hooray. I got me an Xbox 360 finally am on par with everyone... oh wait, Xbox One is almost out... owwwhmaaaan!
|So who is going to wait about a month before release before they actually pre-order rather than doing it now and getting no added benefit? (raises hand)
2 Like the 360 overall was a piece of shit, I went through 3 of the console in its lifetime and started using rechargeable batteries after i gave up on their battery packs.
BUT..... was probs the best platform for gaming, and has a great controller
@benbonney The Console itself was rather unfinished but at least it had decency and pride...And the controller was Absolutely comfortable...props for The controller AND the console (y)
Most of the things presented in the video, we'd rather forget.
However, the 360 gave me a lot of wonderful gaming experiences, particularly with its exclusive titles.
Looking forward to playing the 360s swan song games before I move on to the next generation of gaming consoles.
If this is true, It seems Microsoft plans to play dirty at e3

@Yulaw2000 hmm... extremely skeptical about that. im thinking that would probably be illegal. any way i really dont think that sony have too much to worry about from M$. only idiots and fanboys with more money than sense will buy the "exbox-one-you-dont-want"
1 Like @foxrock66As long as there are Rumors,people reacting to every litte word spoken against anything the discussions won´t stop.
In case of XB360 and the X1 it´s quite simple: The XB360 made a huge step for gaming,MS added a lot of functions with more then 3 Dashboards,they had the best Allround-controller up to date - I think it won´t be much dirfferent in the next gen.
If I look at Sonys Performance,I don´t belive they really can keep up.They couldn´t with the PS3 in almost every way, so why now?If the PS4 proves to be worth the money in 2 or 3 years I´ll buy it too,but right now it was all flash with a really weak substance.
@Ash2X @foxrock66 that is so short sighted... never assume because of the previous success, that the next console must be a sure thing.
@Ash2X @foxrock66 and that could be why you make the wrong choice... You should look at both consoles and see what is right for you, not choose an X1 because the 360 was the better console of this gen..... I chose a Sega Saturn over the Playstation due to my love of the Mega Drive (genesis) and that was a bad move
@benbonney @Ash2X @foxrock66 The X1 seems to be a improved 360 which is exactly what I´m looking for,The PS4 seems to be a improved PS3 with all the nice Features the 360 already got.
The most important Thing is a Game I want to play and while MS shown only 2 Games,theres one I definetly want to play (Forza 5) and well...Sony shown off,but didn´t deliver anything I really need.
Of course.that could change with the E3 - as long as Sony doesn´t show 4 or 5 Games that make me forget about the MS-exclusives they get their Chance later.
I have good memories of Dragon Age and Mass Effect (the originals). I must say though that the kinect is great fodder for dance games and I wonder why a Dragon Ball Z Ginyu Force dance game was never made. There should be one for the XBox One. Because it would be hilariously awesome. Especially if you could record dance lineups and challenge others to them.
4 Like What I remember about the 360 is having a shit load of fun on Halo 3. Good times =).
@StarlightHunter Halo is pretty much why I have an Xbox 360 and Halo 3 was by far the best of the series on the console.
@StarlightHunter Halo 3 was why I bought my second 360 after my first was stolen during finals week. Chief finding Cortana in Halo 3 still stands as one of the most moving cutscenes I've experienced in a video game. I very much liked that.
Wow, I forgot about the interchangeable face-plates. I remember thinking having one of those made my 360 cooler.
can fanboys please stop with this console war bullshit...The 360 was a great machine and so was the ps3. THE END!
1 Like Just going to be extremely pedantic and point out that while the 360 might have been a good, maybe even great console, it was a crap-tastic MACHINE.
1 Like @ivan_osorio I can easily say the same thing about the PS3. While most people got unlucky with their 360's I've been unlucky with the PS3. Both systems were poorly designed. The 360 had horrible ventilation and Sony was dumb enough to have their PSU inside the system. I would rather have that external "Brick" if it meant having a cooler system...Both the 360 slim and slide tray PS3 have been perfected now so what are you getting at? The only systems I've ever owned that NEVER failed me were Nintendo systems as "kiddy" and "crappy" as everyone claims them to be. Both my original xbox and ps2 are softmodded since their laser lens failed like 2-3 years ago (Pretty good run). The gamecube however still plays games flawlessly and shows no signs of slow disc reading unlike the previous systems I mentioned. So in the end the 360 and PS3 are great systems but were initially poorly desgned which is the reason why they had to redesign them with newer models
@PosiTVEMinD355 @ivan_osorio the consoles were shit. what was great, was the games that we played on them.
lets remember this instead, keeping the press quiet:
http://n4g.com/news/1272329/microsoft-cancels-e3-post-press-conference-roundtable-with-media
@MjnE Not really sure that applies to the 360 but years down the road this is something we'll always remember about the XB1 for sure.
Sounds like MS has a lot of things to sort out, so no sense in them making things worse at E3. I don't blame them after all of the backlash, but all this does is let the world know that they really don't have a solid plan in place for XB1 which is sad. I don't think Sony does either based on all of their ambiguity surrounding used games, DRM, etc. but at least Sony was smart enough to stay quiet until they had it figured out.
I think, next to the Genesis, the 360 might be me favorite console of all time. Many great games, a great and reliable online service, and feature packed. Besides the RROD fiasco which netted me around $100 from MS as an apology I've had no problems. Many drunk nights with friends playing Forza, CoD, and many other great games kept us connected when I moved 900 miles away. Plus the achievement system made me keep games longer and kept me interested in them.
1 Like I miss the old "Blades" Dashboard, but I suppose M$ have to put their ads somewhere and the Blades format didn't suit.
Best memories of the 360, for me, is playing Gears 1 MP almost every day, over a span of close to 5 years. Made some good friends playing that game. Also playing co-op Terrorist Hunts on Rainbow Six was great fun.
Shame the 360 is being replaced with a crappy multimedia box that charges you for playing used games and will continue to charge you for the privilege of playing online.
