People don’t realize that the 360 is probably one of the best and cheapest consoles to get into. Goodwill and facebook I always see 360 games. I love backwards compatibility and didn’t even realize that the 360 plays half of the og Xbox’s library! Thanks for the tips guys!
Definitely a low entry point for a great console. We love our 360. Thanks for watching. Cheers!
I gave up on it's backwards compatibility. And got the original console. Depends on what games you like, but it's too glitchy and the performance suffers. The xb1 compatibility is way better
@@MichaelODonoghueMOD yea even games that are supposed to work on my 360 never did, so I just got an OG xbox I'm happy and excited to mod it
cheap until you wanna play online then you spend the consoles worth every month lmaoo, id spend the extra 10$ to get a ps3 instead
My best friends nicknamed me the 360 grim reaper because I was there every time their 360s got the red ring. Awesome video guys!
LOL! The first model was rough for sure. Luckily they got it buffed out over time. Cheers!
@@GamingOffTheGrid I got gifted an 360 arcade, 2 slims and a ps3 slim a week ago, all of them have barely been used (bought by a well to do couple who didn’t use them much), sweet :)
LMAO Joseph, stay away from my 360!!!
The 360 introduced achievements/trophies....which I personally love
@plombiaryk that was on the OG Xbox…
I constantly see these in my local craiglist for $15. For that price it’s a no brainer no matter what lol
My son's launch console just started dying last year. So for his 14th b-day which was yesterday, we bought him a 360 E blue/teal special edition. Awesome console w/ tons of extra memory.
I love collecting for 360. It's still relatively cheap. I'm particularly into finding shmups for it. I love that I can play a lot of my discs on the newer systems too, but also keep my MW3 console hooked up to play the things that aren't backwards compatible.
Also, that beer sounds delicious.
It's true. You can get a lot for it for very little money. The 360 is the dependable friend that I can go back to. Also avoids some of the bugs you get when playing backward compatible 360 games on One/Series X. Win!
What shmpus do you suggest?
OK here is my plug for the 360:
1. Update files are TINY. Put game in and update is usually 10-20 megabytes!
2. Games are crazy cheap and easy to find....and scratched DVDs are salvageable a lot of the time if you have a local game store with a good resurfacer.
3. The most desirable model is the Jasper.....how can you tell? Looks like an original model but has HDMI, usually a 250 gb drive, 12.1 amp on the back where the power brick plugs in, but needs an external wi-fi adapter. Cool because of tough reliability (Microsoft really fixed this one and many say it is better than the slim) and the interchangeable face plates still work on these.
4. If you are not a graphics snob, these run 720p and for most this is fine.
5. Backwards compatible with many original xbox titles. Many 360 games can be played on the xbox one, but you basically have to have the disc in and it downloads a digital copy.
6. CHEAP.....have found 2 jasper models at local thrift stores for 20$ or less.
7. Xbox store still available, so hydro thunder hurricane can still be purchased, along with a few other xbox live titles and sales do still occur. Even xbox live works, but you have to pay unlike PS3.
8. Can be modded to do a lot of cool stuff.
9. You are correct....most ports look better on the 360.
10. Between the xbox 360, the wii, and the PS3....just my favorite gen of gaming.
I do believe Microsoft announced recently that 360 servers are going offline soon
@Gaming off the Grid two huge, glaring omissions! The firat is the fact that the 360 is still officially supported by Microsoft. You can atill subscribe to XBox Live and even Game pass. The second is related to LAN parties. You can connect any of the three generations of XBox together on the same network to play a LAN multiplayer match like Halo. No other console can do that! Imagine a LAN party with an OG Xbox playing Halo along with the other team playing on a Series X. The 360 is absolutely worth it in 2021.
That's an awesome feature for LAN party's for sure. We've never had all 4 present at a LAN party but have had 360's and and XBOX One. Pretty damn cool. Cheers!
Found an E model at Goodwill for $10 recently. Can’t wait to build up my collection again.
Hell ya! Killer score. That model is great. Thanks for watching. Cheers!
I like my Ps3 but man it’s so cheap to collect for the 360. I find more people selling and parting with there 360’s over there ps3’s. Great video again guys 🤘🍻🤘
The 360 is one of my favourite consoles to collect for because of the price point and the great library of games. Also has the best controller ever made in my opinion. Great video 👍
Sweet vid! Really makes me wanna throw my PS5 to the side, bust out the 360 and get back into Halo Reach again, which I might just do lol I'm feening to Team Slayer now
The later original models (Jasper), that were around just before the S models are the one that will last the longest! Heavily revised internals.
Trinity best, Jasper 2nd, Corona 3rd. imo
@@nerdyhd1808 thanks for that! Forgot that one!
@@nerdyhd1808 jasper Kronos V2 is the best, trinity has some problems with the northbridge which has popped up more recently, it’s jasper (both versions), trinity, corona, then falcon
Yes indeed, if you paste one of those bad boys with some premium thermal it will out live you...
Just found your channel and love the content, great videos!
Thanks a ton! Glad you found us and are enjoying the vids. Cheers!
Man I love this channel you guys are great. I'm currently collecting for the Xbox 360 and it's been great found some great titles.
Love it! Another solid buying guide w/ great info! & a Godfrey spotting! Keep it up guys!
The 360 was the console I played the most during that generation I played and beat so many damn amazing games AND it is also the console that got me (and many others) into Indie games thanks to the Xbox 360 Arcade...freaking epic man
When of the best gaming channels! Great job on these videos Wes and Rob! Cheers guys!
I've really enjoyed this series guys. I camped outside a store to get my first 360, at the end I had been through 6 red rings. Through warranties and MS offering free repairs, I think grand total I ended up buying 3. The original, then an S, and I have an E now.
I bought one beginning of covid it's fantastic , mainly wanted it for LOTR strategy game however their are So many excellent exclusives on this system, cheers guys
Badass man! Definitely a low barrier of entry right now which for us is the best part :). Cheers!
I bought the gears of war edition in January. Absolutely love it
Hell ya! Such a badass variant of the console. Cheers!
I did also and bought the gears of war vault. Sick addition to really stand out. I've never seen a console like that.
I got a CIB halo reach one locally.. such a dope console
Yeah I own the Red Gears of War Xbox 360, along with the two badass controllers. Had to go through 4 Red Rings of death to finally get here, but man is this console cool. I love it and it's performed great ever since I got it.
Also binge-watching your content right now. Thanks for your great channel, guys.
Hell ya man! Glad you enjoy the vids. Cheers!
I was very late to the game on the 360, but I have grown to love it. I love the amount of games and how most of them are cheap right now. Great video guys! Side note: The Punisher game is great!
I really loved the 360 in the first 2-3 years of it coming out but after my second console broke i got an ps3. I remember at one point you could only send in your console once then you just had to buy another. Great video as always Wes and Robert, the beginning of the video was extra enjoyable. 👍🎮
I remember that gears of War trailer..it was great..Great video guys..keep on keeping on 🤘
Epic trailer :). It sold me on the game for sure. Cheers!
An other great vid guys great advice and well put together thank you :-)
Thanks a ton man! Glad you enjoyed. Cheers!
The Xbox 360 is incredible. Collecting for it is awesome too since you could play a ton of the 360 library on the Xbox One and Series X if it's compatible. The system also plays some OG Xbox games very well too. It's definitely worth owning a Model S or Model E for sure... I love it
Great video guys!
Thanks man! We love the 360! Cheers!
You guys are absolutely right! NOW is the time to buy 360 games, especially at pawn shops and Gamestop. Gamestop has been having specials with 360 and ps3 games for months and months. Not long ago they were doing a buy 2 get 3 free type of thing and man...my collection grew by leaps and bounds. I would have to look now but I am pretty sure they are still doing a lot of these sales. GO FORTH MY FRIENDS AND HUNT!!!
great video as usual guys ;)
Thanks man! You are spot on. Games are available in abundance and super cheap which makes it a really fun time to collect. Cheers!
Awesome vid guys! I just got a ps3 fat with the light gun rifle, and house of the dead overkill from last week's vid. Now I have to go get a 360!
Love the beer review. Game on bros!
Purging your xbox 360 collection video be awesome 🤟!!
Late to the conversation, but here goes:
Bought my very first Xbox console ever, an Xbox 360 S in April of this year. I have four controllers (in four different colours, naturally), and 53 games currently sits on the shelve. Loving the console so far.
Nice! Tons of great games to explore. Enjoy!
I know all those accessories are wack but having a 360 arcade stick is a must!!! The 360 is my favorite system for shmups, I'm still looking for a mushahimasama ar arcade stick thats affordable
I am right with you. I only have Lost Odyssey and Marvel Ultimate Alliance Gold edition for the system. The rest are all Shmups. I grabbed Deathsmiles and then all of those region free Dingers thanks to your videos Baltimore!
Bullet Soul Infinite Burst (J)
Dodonpachi Resurrection Deluxe Ed (PAL)
Dodonpachi Saidaioujou (J)
Eschatos (J)
Espgaluda II Black Label (J)
Ginga Force (J)
Mushi Mushi Pork & Pink Sweets (J)
Mushihami-Sama Futari Ver 1.5 (J)
Shooting Love 10th Anniversary (J)
Some of these were really pricey. Grab them before they are out of reach!
Really enjoyed you covering all the different consoles in a is it worth buying format. I was later to the game with the 360 as I’m a PlayStation fan boy but after collecting a few consoles I must say the 360 is one of my favourites. From a collections point, there are so may different consoles and accessories and from a gamer there are just so many amazing games. Keep up the good work, from one of your new subscribers.
I just bought a 360s black with 12 games for $25. I felt like a thief because the bundle also included 6 ps2 games and one of those was Cold Fearz so that one game was worth more than I payed for the bundle. To be fair ps2 games were not even mentioned in the ad, they had just put them in the bag with the Xbox 360 so I didnt know until I unpacked it and cleaned everything. I was shocked! Aaaaannnd the console had a 250gb hard drive in it, had power brick but no conttoller or hdmi cable, no biggie got plenty of both of those. Score!! Over the last year I have picked up 2 Xbox 360E consoles one with 250gb hd and a speciap edition with 500gb hd. I feel now is the time to get this console, pretty soon that generation will be wanting their old consoles and you know the rest!
Another great video, good job!
Crackdown was the first game I played on the 360 and it is still one of my favorites.
The Xbox 360 online store is awesome, Virtua on, Exit 2, Alien Homand, Guardian Heroes HD, and Radiant Silvergun, the last two games just mentioned are expensive on the Sega Saturn, the Dynasty Warriors Gundam series, Halo Wars, Ridge Racer 6, Capcom Digital Colllection, and Race Pro are my top favorites. Great system avoid the red ring, Great video!
Dont forget you can rip cds to the harddrive and play music during gameplay. Thats very helpful when you play big openworld games and get sick of the generic music. Plus the tony hawk games get repetitive with the limited tracks they include.
Even in 2022, I still love playing on my Xbox 360. The Xbox can only emulate Xbox Games if you have an Original HDD since the emulator is on the HDD. You can't download the Emulate manual after so if you don't have an Original Xbox 360 HDD then you can't play Original Games. The Red Ring of the Dead was big but many of them were fake. This is because many people mistakenly thought they had the Red Ring of the Dead with 4 red dots. This was when there were problems with the Video Single like a faulty cable or the output might be broken. The Red Ring of Dead had 3 red dots. This indicates that the Xbox was so overheated that it unsoldered itself to the point that it no longer works.
I Loved the Original Controller many say it is too heavy but i love holding it i hate the PS 3-4 controller, it's like holding air i remember the first time i had a PS4 controller in my hand i was like am i even holding anything and it was difficult for me to get used to that I like the weight just like I like walking around in safety shoes because of the weight of it. I really enjoyed the keyboard for the controller. I enjoyed GOW 1-2 a lot and never particularly enjoyed the other games. I feel like they changed what the game actually is. I only played GOW3 once, and don't really recall much of it because I didn't particularly appreciate it. I own all the Halo games and they are one of my favorite games for the Xbox 360 with thousands of hours in those games. I have never played Halo 5 since it is available only for Xbox One, but besides that, I have played all Halo games. Halo is still my favorite game on the Xbox 360. I don't like the PC version. This is because the PC version is based on the anniversary version, and I don't enjoy it. It just doesn't feel the same to me and sometimes it's like they changed some mechanic so it doesn't feel the same. Anyway, I don't like that version and I don't like the MCC version, but I still play the Xbox 360 version today and still truly love it. I never liked Alan Wake. I don't think I ever completed it. I have played it a couple of times but it's not really my kind of game. I'm not really into car games that much.
360 is one of our most played consoles so we are with you on that! So many bangers! We love how Xbox controllers are constructed! Cheers!
I have an original Xbox and a Xbox one right now, I have been contemplating getting a 360 mainly for PGR 3&4. The PGR games are my favorite racing games of all time. Been having a ton of fun going back through the first two recently.
I have a lot of fond memories of this era of Xbox. Been running my own game stores with my friends for 20 years now. Back then the Xbox 360 was the first time we saw any perk of running our own game stores. We were growing and Microsoft was there to help. They gave us kiosk for every store and each of us was given a free Xbox 360 console. During that entire generation we could get most anything we wanted to promote the Xbox and our stores, including multiple life-sized Master Chief statues. We still have 1 left we keep in our first location. Things have changed a lot since those old days though and I'll leave it at that.
The Xbox 360 had more exclusives then the PS3... It also had more games with a Metacritic score of 90 and above over PS3. It was the best console for 3rd party titles of the 7th gen. RROD cost Microsoft over $1 billion! I was overseas during its lifespan, had to buy about 7? It's my favorite console of all time and I've been faming since 1980!
If you got the RROD.. Microsoft would send you a special box to package it up and send the 360 back to Microsoft, and they repaired it for free or sent you a new one. Just had to ask for it!
Still enjoying the 360! Bought it off a buddy with Scott Pilgrim installed. Currently going through Diablo 3 .... also went out and got myself the HDDVD for some movie action.
Hell ya! We see HDDVD's on the cheap a lot. Awesome that Scott Pilgrim was on there too :)! Thanks for watching. Cheers!
Another great video guys, keep it up! :)
Thanks a ton! Cheers!
Same here
The Mad World song will always remind me of Donnie Darko lol. Great video gentlemen! ❤️❤️❤️
Trivia: It is a cover. The original version was written and performed by Tears for Fears.
@@dashoot99 trivia donnie darko is a highly overrated film that made me feel like an intellectual when i saw it at 12 lol
Oh yes! F'n love that movie :)
The condemned series brought me into the 360 world years ago and i still continue to collect for it
Condemned 1&2 are underrated. Wish they would bring the series back. It deserves it.
Great video my doods, I just got one a few weeks ago and love it. Hydro thunder is incredible, I also love the Sega games on the arcade, got to play radiant silvergun & guardian heros both are real cheap. Both Saturn classics that are way to expensive to buy.
I just ordered myself one of these a few days ago. we'll get it this coming up friday.
Nice! Enjoy! 🍻
Great video guys! I love playing 360. The Ttansformers War for Cybertron and Fall of Cybertron are great! The controllers are still great and you can still download games from their store and get Gamea with Gold monthly ones.
Thanks for the video. Great as always.
Some games to look for:
Guardian Heroes (Digital)
Radiant Silvergun (Digital)
Project Sylpheed
Raiden Fighters Aces
I don't even know where to go about getting fancy schmancy beer like that...🤷🏻💯✔️
They sell them at our local grocery store! Cheers!
I always loved a lot of the 360’s exclusives man. Besides gears and halo of course The fable trilogy, crackdown 1 and 2, left 4 dead 1 and 2, were so awesome! Was also a big rts fan and it had command and conquer/lord of the rings bfme ports on it which were sick.
Great vid, IMHO the best budget console, classic titles for pocket change.
PSA xbla is still live, there are free games on it, e.g., life is strange, walking dead (possibly terraria). Also some great indy/retro titles available for paid download, e.g., symphony of the night.
Also still has some great affordable SHMUPS and JRPGs.
Hard to argue that. The price for getting into this console right now is awesome. Makes it super fun to collect for. Thanks for watching. Cheers!
My favorite local pizza shop used to have hydro thunder hurricane arcade machine. Always had great time. Never bought a game so fast when I saw it available on Xbox 360. So happy when they made it Xbox one backwards compatible.
Hurricane is SO underrated. So many folks missed that one. Going for all the tokens is so damn fun. Cheers!
Great video fellas, I think the 360 hands down is my favorite console of all time. I just bought an unopened 360 arcade and did an unboxing on my channel!
Hell yeah! Just before Covid I was still doing LAN parties with friends. Love the 360 and OG xbox
OMG a Halo 3 lan party would be so fucking awesome right now.
With this quality of content u guys should have million subcribers!
Thanks a ton dude! It’s a grind as a small gaming channel these days. We’re just putting in the work and hoping everything shakes out. Cheers!
@@GamingOffTheGrid keep it up bro, im no seer but i can already see your channel will be big in the future. Cheers🍻
Where can you get an unused one? I always check on Amazon and they're always used and I can't find any on Argos.
I got the cod 2 xbox 360 from goodwill for 10.00 and it works. I was given a halo one but it red rings. My og white one still works after I adjusted the laser. I also used the keyboard and it wasn't as awkward as you think. Cheers!
I grew up playing halo reach firefight with friends, so much fun to be had on this beast of a console! People should jump in while its still relatively easy to find and cheap.
We totally agree. It's so damn affordable right now and you can find games on the cheap everywhere. Thanks a ton for watching. Cheers!
Hell yeah firefight. Lost about 6 days of my life to that game. Firefight alone.
I still have a stock early slim and my kids have the same model. I did have older non hdmi 360 MS refurbished I picked up from game crazy on the cheap but it only lasted a couple years before it red ringed and for shits and giggles I opened it up and saw the bolt fix was done. Just over a year ago I bought a 4tb RGH trinity model loaded up with all my favorite games from a youtuber named Masnart. So worth it. It has also let me backup and play stuff like the recently leaked Bean Goldeneye 64, Scott Pilgrim, and Outrun 2.
12:30 The messenger block was clutch for Minecraft typing and was both backlit and powered by the controller unlike the PS3
Where I live, we have a community table where you can leave gently used items. Someone last week left one and I snatched it up.
Great video. I gotta disagree with you guys on the controller front though. Most of my DS3s still hold a crazy long charge. Also, changing the internal batteries isn’t hard at all and it’s fun seeing the inside :p
Holy shit me and my buddy growing up did the exact same thing! We would mute the TV and play mad world from a Zune through a stereo! It was bad ass! Funny how I'm not the only one! I think at one point I connected my iPod to the Xbox 360 and was able to play it through to the TV speakers. Wow man such a cool memory that was buried deep in my mind! Thanks for the nostalgia trip! Guess what I'm doing when I get off work..... Lmao cheers brothers 🍻
The Xbox 360's blades dashboard and the NXE dashboard
#1 nostalgia
That sounds cool! We will have to check them out! Cheers!
I had to forgot about the Gears Of War trailer. That was a prime time commercial. My favorite trailer is probably Oddworld: Soulstorm. I haven't played the game; but it's hilarious. There are a lot of takeaways one can take from it too.
Not sure I remember it! Will have to find it! Cheers!
Gears of War is what cemented me into Xbox, such a jaw dropping experience. RROD lasted until the reduced Jasper Chipsets seen in models from November, 2008 and onward.
Yeah one of the very few flaws of the 360! Once that was fixed it was a powerhouse! Cheers!
I own the R2-D2 360 and love it.
These things are a no brainer. I went from not owning a Microsoft system in my 30 years of life to having five (3 slims and 2 Es) and given that I got three of them in perfect working condition for ten dollars a piece recently, from a financial standpoint you can’t go wrong if you find one in the wild.
It’s one shortcoming in my case is being so heavy on the FPS since it’s not my favorite genre but at least it got me access to Jet Set Radio Future.
The Xbox 360 is a great console. I had an original but gave it away to my brother. I then bought the RE5 bundle, but it went mostly neglected due to my love for the PS3. I had to replace my RE5 console last year due to a problem with the disc drive. I got the GOW Xbox on eBay. It was a bit pricey, but I really like it. I have bought some games on the cheap at Gamestop. The console is great, and as you said, you can buy bundles on the cheap. I have enjoyed the series on the older consoles that you have done. Good job, guys.
Question can you do lan party's on Xbox one with Xbox 360 backwards compatible games?
Thats a very good question! Id be so but not 100% on that. We only own 1 xbox one so we havent tried it! Cheers!
You forgot to mention the Microsoft Store with XBOX live Arcade (XBLA) so many great games to download.
360 is my favorite console of that generation.
We actually havent checked that out! We will now! Cheers!
I loved the messenger keyboard. It made the 360 controller the perfect weight and made it so easy to type. I really loved it and wish the PS5 had a good one that ran off the controller battery.
Found a slim and an e at a local thrift store for $24/piece. Also still have my original white 360. They’re everywhere. I’ve flipped the slim, got the e for sale. Can’t part ways with my original white block. Somehow I never had the red ring.
Damn dude! You are among the few and the proud. Awesome that it has held together for you. Thanks a ton for watching. Cheers!
Oblivion was pretty great on 360. My favorite Xbox 360 game by far is Ultra Street Fighter 4. I know it's multiplat and I actually play it on PC now but the 360 controller is still my preferred input device for that one.
Edit: oh yeah great video guys!
I got massive hands, that keyboard stopped my hands from cramping up :)
The first 360 I owned I bought 2nd hand in 2012, it was the Gears of War 3 special edition with 2 matching wireless controllers. The sounds it made I didnt know they all didnt do that until I saw a "regular" one sometime later that my friend owned lol. I also got a special Editon 360E with a 500gb hd for $50 right after the Xbox one released. Still have both those consoles plus a MW3 one, a black 360s I just bought and another special editon 360E with the 500gb hd just because I got it for a steal. The Backwards compatibility of the Xbox 1 and series X may make them less desirable, but I like them so I keep them around and collect the special edition ones. Never owned the original model, dont care for the looks of it and they seem to be unreliable vs the S and E models. Just my .02 cents.
I still got my original and my 360 still play it to this day
I have one 360 that does red ring but just unplug it and it’s fine. Recently I found the old 360 with old 2005 dashboard and it works fine. Perfect Dark Zero is my favourite exclusive 360 game and still have it
Does the xbox market place still works and is supported on the xbox 360? Can you still download, and purchase games? The ps3, psp, ps vita, ps tv, psn store for digital games, is getting shut down.
It does for the time being. We haven't seen any indications of it going away at this point. Thanks a ton for watching. Cheers!
Cap, pick up that empty beer can you just threw on the ground of that beautiful game room ;)
The 360 game system really took me away from PlayStation. Some really solid titles. Love collecting for it still. Awesome video.
Thanks a ton man! Still cheap to collect for too, for the most part. Which makes it even more fun. Thanks for watching. Cheers!
I found out last night that The Orange Box is on the backwards list but you can ONLY buy it digitally ON the 360 store but unlocks on my Series X. Strange but it’s awesome to have a digital Orange Box!
Nice! Amazing compilation. Enjoy. Cheers!
Y'all kind of missed one point of getting a 360. For the kids. I'm 35 and have a 7,5, and 3 year old and they love playing on the console. Having older consoles is definitely great for kids and families. And definitely affordable. I got a console with one controller with about 15 games for 40 bucks
I had to phone microsoft, for the red ring of death. They shipped a box to put it in prepaid postage. sent it out and they sent back a repaired or refurbished one for free. Havent had a problem for over 10 years since then. Except the disk drive sticks sometimes.
Brilliant video.. had a halo special ed back in the day and now you both have made me purchase one again off the bay!! Cheers guys for spending my money again! Lol 😂
I have that keyboard for the controller. Actually, I think I have two. One white for my white controller, and one black for the black controller.
There are a ton of great games available for the 360 and a lot of the servers are still up so online play is alive and well
Nice! Never really messed with on of those but at the time I did want one. Cheers!
Just picked up a glossy white slim with a 250GB drive and 46 games for 120! Gonna have some gun
when he mentioned his neighbor had stacks of 360s i lost it lol
I have one I just have to buy the cords for it again since I lost them which is actually what I am on the way of doing right now because I am walking to GameStop right now and hoping that they have it so I can play dark souls 2 because for some reason it’s not backwards compatible even though it’s quite popular.
Great video. I love the 360. My favorite console to collect for. Games are dirt cheap and everywhere. If i was forced to choose one system for the rest of my life 360 handsdown for me.
My favorite game not alot of people talk about is ..blood drive..check it out if you havent its cheap at game stores less than $10. i think you guys might like it.
Got red rings. Called up, they sent a box sent it in got it back good as new no charge. Pretty smooth process considering.
We've heard both sides. Some had a smooth experience and others not so much. That being said maybe they were just too lazy to go through the process lol. Cheers!
I was told (by Microsoft) that I needed to pay them to have it fixed. I cannot recall how much, but it was at least 100€. My console was a 360 Pro from 2005 (a launch model). I bought it brand new in 2005 and I had all the receipts and serial numbers etc. They checked all this out and they had no issues with all of that. But they would not fix it for free. Maybe too much time had passed by or the money was to cover postage/transit... I'm not sure. In the end, I just bought a new 360 E. I recently decided to fix my 360 Pro and whilst taking it apart was a slight pain in the backside, once I had replaced the thermal paste and added additional washers to the heat-sink backplate, the console booted up first time and it runs perfectly. Good as new!
Where did you guys get your Metal Gear Solid framed posters from?
Man I wish I could remember. I’ve had it a long time. I’m pretty sure I was just searching stuff on google when I was building the game room and you know how that rabbit hole can go :). Cheers!
One of my cousins had like 6 X360s. Guess how many of them suffered the lovely RROD? He also had one OG basic XB1 but in the end, he was eventually fed up and moved on to PC gaming.
I bought a 360 in my 20s because I found one for super cheap and I wanted to play Halo, Gears of War, etc and I just started diving into the library and realized how many friggin sweet games came out for the thing. I think I have almost 90 games now. The newest console I have besides the 360 and Wii is the Switch so I still use it a lot.
360 is an absolute hammer! We been collecting hard for it the last few years for relatively cheap! We love it! Cheers!
I bought the 360 w/Kinect as a gift for my wife. The main reason why she wanted me to buy her the 360 was because of dance central and the other dancing games.
Thats awesome! We havent used the Kinect much on our side but would be willing to dive more into it! Cheers!
@@GamingOffTheGrid cool
Kinect actually impressed me. It's better than I thought it was. Kinect sports is amazing honestly for what it is.
We have limited experience with the connect but we have grown okay with motion controls! Cheers!
