Do you remember when: -Achievements were thrown out there for 50-100G just for doing something as simple as completing a level with your fist and grenades (COD3?) -You get an achievement for doing 5 car-to-car jumps, then another one for doing 10, then another for 20 (Just Cause) -You could be a host of a ranked game and make all the rules, since matchmaking is something only Halo 2 did -Games had only 15 achievements -The "Ranked Match" was both the only way to get your stats recorded and also where you couldn't play with your friends? -You couldn't invite your friend or send him a chat invite because they were playing Halo 2 -Online guides told you how to get your Gamerscore up to 6000 easily -You debated if you should just get the original Xbox version of the game because you don't have HD

Do you remember when your friends told you about their RRODs and you told them it would never happen to you, and then a month later, it did?

Yes, the dreaded E74. It wasn't my doing though. I should have never let my girlfriend's cousin borrow it. Now, ex-gf, not because of this incident though lol.

Do you remember when your Xbox 360 would overheat after only a few minutes?

I do and it pissed me off.

Do you remember when the UPS guy screwed you over and made you wait for a month to never really bring the shipping label?

I do that son of a ****.

I remember when Xbox Live was all about the games and less about all the social non game related stuff. I remember when games didn't all have 50 plus achievements and the ones you did get were worth more than a measly 5pts. I remember when DLC was an option only for games that sold well enough to warrent it and not a pre planned option to rake in more money before the game even gathers dust. I remember when Microsoft was more focused on killer app games instead of trying to capture the the attention of non traditional gamers. I remember paying less than I will soon for Xbox Live. I remember getting alot more free game add ons or content. I remeber a time when Xbox 360 was my only option but have since dropped the ball and made competitors systems look even more appealing. I remeber a time when I could actually save up for a game instead of being bombarded by so many games that you would have to be rich to play em all!

Yeah it seemed that over time the Achievements handed out for games have "matured". When achievements were new, the games would have rather simplistic goals for achievements instead of what they have now. In addition, I remember in the early days of my Xbox 360 ownership Halo 2 was like the only good FPS out there; other than that you'd have to play COD3 or GRAW 2 if you were tired of Gears.

I remember playing Cod4, when the community was active, and it was actually /fun/ to play. Now its just full of angry jerks and people running around sniping. (remember when it was okay to sit in a bush and scope?)
