here's a fun fact: the original Xbox renders its startup animation in real time and due to that first effect being somewhat dynamic, it never really is 100% the same.
yes, if you have a chip installed, not softmod, or one of the models with TSOP chips (1.0 TO 1.5) you can actually mod this animation, changing the colors of the fog, lights, the color of the blob and other parameters on the BIOS and then flashing this bios to the modchip or TSOP.
I mean in a way it was a science experiment, because it was Microsoft’s way of saying “If we can make the best computers in the world we sure as hell can make the best console in the world!”.
Too bad that nowadays everything is minimalist, even the boot screen .... I know that the animations were because the console was still "getting ready" and nowadays it's almost instantaneous but even so I miss the old menus and start screen
really puts perspective on how many times I would hear this boot up after a long day at school. golden era of gaming for sure, won't ever have anything like it
What was also amazing was knowing that those animations weren't just a hud but like an animation rendered within a game, so much so that you could change the Light, Smoke at startup if had the device to alter
I was pretty young during the golden era unfortunately. Although I remember my dad playing some really goated games back then. Like Skyrim, Destiny, Halo, and some others. I ended up playing a ton of old Lego games lol
3:10 That particular dashboard is actually from late 2011, and it's got quite a few differences from the current design. The most obvious differences are the darker background and the presence of a "Quickplay" button on the Home tab.
The 360 blades were way better than the PS3 dashboard. The dashboards after that, though? Not so much. All of them just seem like an excuse to get more ads in your face every time you turn on the console.
2:36-2:44 Ahhhhh,The memories of getting up at 7am to play Minecraft and Lego Batman on the Xbox 360, good times :) EDIT: wth was i thinking when i wrote this, no recollection of writing this, im not even nostalgic lol
Even though i never had a 360 it’ll always be iconic cause I remember going to friends house or my cousins house and booting it on to play minecraft or halo
Same man, before I got on xbox one, I used to play on my friend 360 one. Glad i god xbox one which still supports new games today too We fell into fight with 360 vs one lol
Me and my young brother had the original Xbox console system from Christmas Day '02, and it was awesome. Also it was the exact same year when I got the PlayStation 2 console system in early 2002 back then during my late childhood years.
2012 dashboard brought back a lot of memories of playing with my older brother, or watching him play with his friends. He’s in college now and I miss him lots.
coming home after school in 2009-2013 and starting up the Xbox360 with that iconic sound instantly took away all of my little pressure that I felt, I miss that
I've had them all except Xbox One. I went PS4 that gen. My Series X mostly gets used to play my Xbox and Xbox 360 back catalog and to play MLB the show.
The Xbox 360s (2012) UI was one of the best, also the Xbox one (2013) Those UIs in my opinion are future proof, the design was well made and it displayed a lot more relevant information, the actual Xbox UI is really bloated with a lot of things you don’t need to see but the thing you want to see are under some extra menus.
The 2012 Xbox 360 dashboard and the 2014 Xbox One dashboard is honestly two of the most beautiful dashboards not just for their functionality but their overall aesthetics. (edit: also seeing these interfaces again after years of being absent from them brings such nostalgia, really miss those times.)
I also felt nostalgic... when the Xbox One arrived here at home, there was this menu, I remembered it after a long time with this video.... it seemed that the menu was more alive, especially when the the announcement of the Games and mainly of FM5 appeared
Ya the other ones before look so cool to tho woulda loved to be more part kf the community playing online an stuff I think I did somewhat but I was like 12 and 13 and really just played blackops and single player games I actually remember playing advanced warfare zombies online on 360 so funn
For me, it all started with 2012 (I know, I know I was late to it) sometimes I wish I could've started earlier, but I never had any Xbox until my first 360 in 2012. I now got 3 of them, and I got an Xbox One
You should circle back around to the OG Xbox if you haven't already. That thing was so ahead of its time. I got one for Christmas is 2002 as a kid. I wanted a PS2 but my dad was sold on the Xbox because it had a hard drive he didn't want to buy memory cards that we lost lol. I immediately forgot about PS2 when I played Halo: CE for the first time.
@@honkhonkler7732 I definitely wish I had an OG Xbox at times. I know some thrift stores near me that might have them. I've been tempted to pick one up some day
5:01 I think there's a problem here, red dead redemption 2 appears on the desktop when that system is supposed to be from 2017 and the game came out in 2018😅 If I'm wrong about something, please tell me.
2005 Xbox 360. It’s special since it was such an insanely comprehensive update compared to the previous design. It truly felt like a new generation experience leaps and bounds superior to its predecessor. Plus it had so much personality with all the different colors. They really nailed it with that.
I played all of these, I currently have the Series S and my brother has both Xbox Series. We have played all the Halo games from completing each campaign multiple times to trying to kill each other in matchmaking or forge world, Minecraft, Skyrim, the whole Borderlands franchise, and many more Xbox classics or console classics in general. I've also played almost all the PlayStations (with the exception of PS5 but I will be getting 1 very soon as I now have a job and am trying to save but rn I currently have the PS4). Man, gaming has played a big part of my childhood memories. They have helped get me through a lot of rough things for so many years and counting.
I grew up with the 2012 Xbox 360 S Its my favourite console of all time, which is why 5 years after losing it, i got a new one for christmas of last year, what a pleasure to play this console again
As much as I love the original Xbox startup and how other worldly it is... there is something PERFECT about the first Xbox 360 start up. I remember it being the visuals and sound to the FIRST true next-gen console experience that is still felt to this very day. Our current way of gaming or even navigating consoles is because of the Xbox 360. Every time I heard that start up sound, I could already imagine the amazing commercials and graphics in video games, I can already hear my friends in party chats, and I can already see the countless hours I'm about to spend just chatting with the boys and having a seemingly never ending fun gaming sesh with them. Hard to explain this level of nostalgia but man it really was a time. And this is coming from a forever and long time Sony fan! I actually loved the original Xbox and 360 so much. Can't say the same for the Xbox One and Series X, they just feel like carbon copies of each other, or just another PC, very soulless, nothing very console like about it. Still feels like Windows 8 to me lmao xD
Xbox 2001 Looks cool and serious. And this green design! He's so Cool I do not know why Xbox We decided to make it white. After all, green is more suitable for black
As a playstation fanboy who liked his "movie story games", Xbox 360 start up and ambiant sounds are so legendary. I used to be so jealous of Xbox Live and Party chat lmao
I really miss the 360 days. That was when I was in trade school, working toward my MCITP and just got my A+ and Network+. Was working part time as a laptop build/break fix technician for a big finance company. Little responsibilities, tons of time and lots of excitement looking forward to the exciting new “Black Ops” game coming out soon.
The consoles I’ve had: Nintendo Wii Xbox 360 Kinect: 2012 Nintendo Switch Xbox One S I hope to get: Oculus Quest 2 Xbox Series X I’m 15, and I’ve played a lot of wonderful games. (Most mobile games this era suck, so we don’t count those!)
2008 dashboard was my first one and my all time favorite. I also remember that one the most because I played my og copy of Halo 2 24/7 on my 360 as a kid.
God I miss the golden age of gaming. 2000 - 2015 were the best years for sure. All Ideas were new and fresh. So many iconic and great games coming out every year, and games had love and passion put into them before they became just money making machines. 2015 was the beginning of the end. Lootboxes and microtransactions just took the industry by storm and now its battle passes and item shops. There just isn't any reward for playing a game anymore, you've got to fork out the cash to actually be able to do any form of customisation these days. Games are also releasing in unfinished states more often then not, with many studios seemingly having the "release it now, fix it later with updates" mentality. Glad I grew up in the golden age rather than the dark ages of the last few years

well I didn't figure that out until I found this comment
I wonder if this applies to Original Xbox games being played on the newer Xbox consoles as when you open one it shows the Original Xbox start up
Tbh, the original xbox intro is the best because it gives you the idea that the xbox is a science experiment that can do anything.
FAX BRO
The music goes hard
I mean in a way it was a science experiment, because it was Microsoft’s way of saying “If we can make the best computers in the world we sure as hell can make the best console in the world!”.

That was the goal the original designers were hoping players would feel.

something that always seemed better to me about the 360 over PS3 was its interface, it was better, more modern and more intuitive

Xbox has the better startups over Playstation, I said what I said.
Your not wrong...although PS1 and PS2 go kind of hard though...
For me, it's both ways. I like the 2010 Xbox 360 startup, and the PSP startup.
GameCube and ps2 are on the same level as the 360 imo
I've played on both consoles, and both are good in their own ways, but I agree with you.
Never forget when Xbox's startup was a nuclear reactor
The older xbox one dashboard looks so.much better then what we have now. Looked way more dynamic

The Xbox 360s (2012) UI was one of the best, also the Xbox one (2013)
Those UIs in my opinion are future proof, the design was well made and it displayed a lot more relevant information, the actual Xbox UI is really bloated with a lot of things you don’t need to see but the thing you want to see are under some extra menus.
Totally. I can't imagine anyone asking for the the UI's that followed. I still can't even find where the Live Gold deals are in the current One UI
The wave of nostalgia i got from the 360 startups is unreal
OG Xbox just hits different, with the next series of models they should really mix in the old with the new.
Nothing can beat the interface of the original Xbox. It was like being in the future every time I played.
