If I'm not mistaken the Star Wars system makes an R2D2 sound when you power it up
It does
It's the only special edition console I ever purchased. They got me!
I think my buddies still have one, it was neat hearing that for the first time.
Wow Nick you are here :D
Dang I would kill for a limited edition… but I can’t justify that, owning already a regular slim E
Can confirm, i own one. Mines broke but it 100% did come that way
These consoles really feel like the last generation where you truly owned your hardware and games. I feel like the current gen consoles will just become oversized paperweights once Sony and Microsoft shut their servers down.
thats exactly whats gonna happen, then we can mod then and play them to the ground
I miss the good times
@@omegarugal9283 It may not be possible to do that if there are missing chunks of code that require a central server to operate the machine. People would need to make a server emulator and stuff like that.
Microsoft had problems with their servers a few weeks ago. Guess what, my series s was useless. I couldn’t even play the games I have already bought and downloaded.
100% if not this gen then for sure next gen. I know the PS5 is a bit different as they patched the cmos issue and out of the box you can play any disk game fine without connecting alongside blu ray and the like. It was the first thing I tested when I got my PS5 last year. The Xbox Series is 100% not like that though. You have to connect and its very much a brick if you have no internet. I know this doesn't include things like patches for games and what not. I have a feeling the PS5 will be able to have some other method of patches maybe 15 years from now thanks to the modding community but I fully see the xbox just being a brick at some point.
The limited edition console for the Xbox 360 were all pretty great in their own ways, and it might be the console I've seen with the most special editions out there? For Phat consoles my favorite has to be the Halo 3 edition easily, while as for the Slim it's a toss-up between the Gears 3 and Halo 4 consoles.
Mario! I previously had the Gears of War Edition. The sound it made when powered on or off was creepy but it was great. It really fit the vibe of the Gears games. I heavily considered the MW3 model at one point.
I have the Halo 4 LE Console myself and I'm a little surprised to not see more love for it myself, the ornate metal designs on the side are absolutely gorgeous and the sounds it makes are mesmerizing, its really helped the 360 feel even more magical for me, just a shame that my brother broke one of the controllers then it'd be perfect lol
Yeah the Xbox 360 definitely got what I’d deem to be a lot of limited edition console variants. I’ve got a pretty good condition second hand Halo 3 edition that I need to get around to fixing. I got pretty lucky with the price I paid for it. Prices have gone up since I got it. It has an overheating problem but I haven’t opened it up to figure out why yet.
I have the halo 3 with red ROL mod and bigger HDD upgraded in the original shell. I love the red mod on the green
I have the Final fantacy one but it just looks like a normal white phat 360. (Jasper modded) still kept the box though.
Beautiful. It was a great generation for gaming!
No
Hello PewDiePie!!!
janab ap karachi gaming industry pe bhi ek video bana lo ab
This hit me in the feels. Looking back they were able to tailer their consoles to specific fan bases with strong followings. I still remember seeing the MW3 and gears consoles on display in November 2011 wanting them so bad but not being able to afford them. Once the world isn’t as crazy it would be nice to see consoles with this sort of flair again. I picked up an MW3 console in 2014 and I absolutely love its look.
It never ceases to amaze me how far Sony and MS were able to stretch out that console generation, especially MS with all the cool editions
What a console... so many hours and memories that I will never forget
same
I couldn't forget it either. That RROD killed Xbox for me. Couldn't bring myself to give Microsoft another chance after my 360 died 2 months after I got it. Really sucks. I never had any issues with Playstation or Nintendo.
Years ago I got a Japanese Halo 4 limited edition console (I don't have the box) but the console is amazing, I got it when I ran out of region free shooters to play, thank god I got stuff like bullet soul & sakura from play asia back in the day!
I used to play the shit outta "gunz" Korean 3rd person matrix style.
You should check out "Warframe"
I'm really happy you actually open this stuff up and show us instead of keeping it a box! Thank you! Super cool to see all of this.
7:32 - I actually still have that LE Gears 3 Xbox 360 console and if you power it on, the console itself will play a Gears 3 sound effect. Apparently has a little speaker inside for that. It is still my favorite LE console that I've ever owned. 💀
I believe all the game branded special edition slims have that extra speaker and unique sounds programmed in since standard slims have a smaller speaker. Every Slim has a header on the motherboard so it can be added.
@@shanez1215 Thanks for the info that's pretty cool! It's the small details that Xbox is really good at. Like Project Scorpio motherboard having I think Master Chief riding a Scorpio. Really cool stuff.
One very cool detail about the r2d2 Xbox 360 was that it had a custom startup sound. The halo edition Xbox one did this too. It’s a minor detail but it makes them more sought after for me.
The MW3 edition had custom sounds for the power and eject buttons too
@@ihum4n I didn’t know that one. Halo 4 and halo reach editions had it to. I feel this was t one of the stronger selling points for me. In the case of the Xbox one halo 5 edition it sounded so so much better to me.
Ya even the new limited edition Halo Infinite Xbox series X has a custom startup and shutdown sound.
This brings back so much nostalgia just seeing you open some of these consoles up. The 360/PS3 era was my favorite in gaming. Thanks for the video!
These limited/premium/special edition consoles are from an era when manufacturers wanted to give you the full experience when you bought one of their products. Nowadays, you're lucky if you get a download code for 15 days of whatever subscription service they want to hook with you when you buy any console. My favorites among those X360s are the MW2 for the Jasper board models and the MW3 for the Slim ones. I'm not exactly a COD fanboi but the aesthetics of both them are very appealing to me. I'd wish there's also videos for special editions of PS3 and Wii models coming. Have a good one, MVG and glad you're doing great with your move!
Cool video MVG. My friend had the R2-D2 360 and it was pretty neat. It made the beeps and boops when you pressed the buttons for the disc tray and stuff. Definitely one of the nicer limited edition systems.
Love it. Awesome console. Very fond memories, and love seeing the limited editions.
Thanks for dropping content during the moving season man!!! Appreciate it :)
I have the Star Wars one - I love how they added R2D2 sounds to the system for turning on and opening/closing the tray.
Still have the box and everything else inc the game and paperwork. Good to know it’s considered worthy of being held on too.
I still love my gears of war 3 Xbox 360. Its so well done down to even the customized noises of the eject and power button.
Still got mine! Got rid of the box though :(
No console intrigues me with its special editions as much as the X360. I can't explain why.
I see that silent hill shirt. Looks like Nate may finally be able to take his victory lap soon
Great video thanks for showing us!
RUclips dropped you off my feed for some reason so now I'll be watching six latest videos from you. It sucks because among the dozens of channels I follow hours is in top 5. Love the work, love the dedication to emulation and the community. Cheers.
I didn't know there was a Halo 4 console. That game is underrated.
That word gets thrown around far too much, but in this context it's very much warranted.
Loved halo 4
The do not sell or display stickers were quite common to see on most new release items when I worked for Best Buy stocking as a inventory associate at the store level. The purpose was to let Associates know that the products had not been released yet as we would receive shipment of them sometimes months before the release day to have inventory on hand for the release.
I recently bought a Star Wars limited edition Xbox 360. I freaking love that thing. I love the sounds when it turns on and off especially. It’s really cool.
Loved how the sound for starting up and shut down was different on each special edition
amazing collection of xbox 360's one could only dream to have those! well done mate
Duuuddeeeeee amazing collection those consoles are beautiful love the vids man!
holy shit dude - i actually have the MW2 special edition as well! was passed down to me by my sister's GF and i've been using it since maybe... 2015. quite the coincidence, especially considering that i JUST bought a used 360 E model to call my own, and i made that purchase because of your video on that exact model. really appreciate how you still show so much love for the 360 - a whole 17 years into its life, at that
hope the move goes well; excited to see what you get up to and the resulting content once all is said and done
What makes the starwars xbox so cool is all its litte easter eggs. When you open the disk tray there's text that says "help me Obi-Wan, you're my only hope" and there's a R2D2's manufacturers mark on the back of the console. The controller is themed after C3P0, another starwars character, and the controller is also the special D-pad
Hi, late to the party here. Truly enjoyed the video. Everything looks sharp and well lighted. Really great job. This really inspires me to collect these 360 consoles.
You're featuring my favourite one - the Halo Reach one has always been the "classiest" special edition, absolutely love how subtle it is!
I love the MW3 one, it didn't look really flashy by the brush Metal feeling is awesome and I wish they would use that material more. No better feeling than the cool metal of the controller on your palms while you play in the summer
Love all those systems. I have my Elite still and even thinking back with the red ring still an awesome time.
Of the six shown, I had one of them. MW2. Good video, man.
I loved how the Halo 4 console also has blue lights and a custom start sound!
Nice collection, my Super Mario Odyssey edition Switch just came with a code in the box nearly five years ago at this point so physical is definitely on its way out for these sorts of things. I can't imagine them making a comeback soon due to chip shortages and even then at least on the PS5 side, I can just imagine Sony selling new side panels instead of a whole new console.
The Halo Reach limited edition console was the GOAT for sure.
Even when moving, you find time to upload content. You are the RUclips king
The green Halo 3 with copper trim always did it for me. just so bold and different. That's when the 'elite' series was released for the G1 consoles. I was in the Navy when these came out. had a friend get the halo 3 version. hated it then, but looking back it's my favorite lol.
I don't care about special editions because, at least for me, are just paint in your console, but with Xbox is different. I know it may sound silly, but them putting different sounds for the power button and disc tray makes me feel like this limited editions are like unique
Very cool! 😎 I had the green Halo 3 360 for mine back in the day. That yellow Simpsons one I really liked but ya, good luck getting one.
Wow that's great to see thank you for sharing.
Thanks for sharing , neat lookin consoles!
that gears 3 xbox was what i rocked back in the day, 3rd xbox and still only working one
Glad to see the move went well
Back in 2013, I got the 360 E bundle, 1 controller, headset, and a 3 month xbox live code. And I tell ya what. That 360 was my introduction to things like Halo, half life, Elder scrolls, dark souls.
I remember having lots of nostalgic and fun memories with friends on halo 3 and reach. Thousands of people still played halo 3 back in 2013. I'm glad I got to finally experienced halo. Was never able to back in the day, because I had a wii, thar and I played games on pc, But yeah. I still got my 360, even to this day. I still play it sometimes, but I'm mostly a pc player now as I was back in the day.
Seeing this video convinced me to find and buy that Silent Hill 2 shirt you're wearing
The first 360 I owned was actually the MW2 limited edition. I loved that machine, and it never red ringed on me once!
Wow that's amazing, really enjoying the 360 content. As a collector it's really hard to remove stuff from their boxes so thanks for showing us these beautiful systems. I'm sorry I missed out on these and the model e blue from Walmart. The 360 is truely one of a kind and Microsoft's best console with fantastic features and brilliant games.
I've got the solid red Resident Evil 5 console, got it because my old Xenon board had already been back to Microsoft twice, and I wanted a Jasper board. It still runs like a top, though the optical drive mechanism is getting quite weak. I ran it for ages! Also yes, even back then people were talking about the Jasper board, and how much better it was.
Thanks for shwoing us!
Let's hope we get some nice LEs this gen once supply fully catches up.
I'm not hopeful that supply will catch up this gen...
The transparent look is amazing, the blue halo one is ace.
That Gears console looks sick!
That's all I used to play back in the day
I have them too :)
Very nice collection.
My favourite is the GOW edition
I have that star wars 360! Makes a cute R2D2 noise when opening the disc tray.
I've really started to get a new appreciation for the 360 in the last year or so, and I hadn't even seen most of these before. The Gears one looks rad af, but out of these, my favorite is the white Kinect model. It just looks so slick!
Though it is funny to me that a console clearly designed to grab the "Wii audience" was more or less designed to have the same color scheme as the original Wii xD
I had the MW3 one I got that as a bday gift! Loved the controllers it came with. My brother had the halo 4 console
My Limited Edition Halo: Reach Xbox 360 was destroyed in Hurricane Sandy. A friend of mine when he was still in the Army at that time sent me the Limited Edition Halo 4 console as my replacement. I recently found a replacement Reach console because that's my absolute favorite Xbox 360 I've ever owned. The Limited Edition Halo 4 Xbox 360 has a new home with my girlfriend
Had the halo 4 one. My favorite thing about it besides the design, was the sound it makes when the disc ejects and you turn the power on.
I have many fond memories of playing Cat and Mouse in the Project Gotham Racing on the 360.
I got a red-ring XBOX 360 Resident Evil Edition from a local game store, gutted it out, and turned it into a gaming PC. It so awesome to look at the bright red shell, and definitely stands out
I'm more into vintage consoles than modern systems but that Star Wars edition is just awesome . Wow!
I love the red Resident Evil 5 limited edition, I have it complete in box with matching controller, paid 50 bucks for it 5-6 years ago
very awesome collection!
The Gears 3 console is my favorite of all of them. I have it on my shelf. Love the startup sound and the blood red camo style.
I'd DIE for a set of the controllers though. They're not easy to find, or at least for a decent price.
That "Do not sell or display" sticker I have on my Xbox 360S 250 GB with Kinect. I pre-ordered it on Amazon, and I received it day 1 of release. My best guess is that the warehouses received the consoles early, before the release date, and it was just a friendly reminder to not ship them early.
also back in the 360 era they had such cool consoles that had great designs in limited edition systems
i wanna smell the newly open console. nothing beat that experiencing for the first time
I got the Gears one, and love the color of it. I used the controllers for PC until recently, then I got some newer ones, since they were worn down. It plays a sound from the game, when you turn it on, or open the tray, but it's really distorted and rattles the whole thing. Always wanted to modify it so it didn't play so loud, but never got around to it.
the starwars one is absolutely dope. I would love to have one of those
I love these types of videos
The Modern Warfare 3 Edition was my first ever Xbox. I currently have a Modern Warfare 2 Edition and it runs great.
I’ve got the mw3 one and always really liked it, but that gears one is really striking. I’ve never seen the mw2 one, but I don’t think it looks as nice. Once cost comes down, hopefully we will see some nice looking ps5 and series consoles
RE5 OG 360 was a beauty. Also the Reach and Halo 3 one.
One of the greatest eras of gaming, I never actually had a RROD 360. I had 2 consoles fail in a bizarre way, when I'd insert a disc it would tell me to put the disc in a 360 to play it? Like it thought it was just a DVD player. Weird
I had suffered this problem as well.
I loved that transforming D-Pad on the later 360 controllers. It really made a difference in fighting games and 2D games
Problem was they didn't last when used for fighting games alot. My dpad popped out in pieces.
On that generation I owned a MW2 limited edition console. It never gave me issues. Then in 2012 I wanted to upgrade my 360 to get the new one. I ended up trading in that MW2 limited edition and put the money towards the Halo 4 limited edition console. It is currently stored in its original box, until I have a room but enough to have my system hooked up.
Man that is awesome that you have these consoles STILL in there boxes. Have you opened them at all? Nevermind that last question. You answered it for me. But man they are in good condition.
Damn those are beautiful... Especially the Gears Console. I tried to get that one but it fell through. So beautiful.
These LE were sold for about 50-100 Euros more than the normal editions. And as you said, you got bundled disc game, often a second controller and in most cases a larger harddrive. So they were really great value for money - plus the cool design. And you could simply go to the nearest retail store, find a dozen of them in the shelves and pick one up. Good times! Nowadays, it seems nearly impossible to get a Series X Halo Limited Edition.
This was great!
cheers mvg... love the vids ;) thanks
I have the MW2 limited edition and still use it sometimes...Love that console!
The Xbox man has his own personal museum. I love it.
I managed to win a Crackdown 2 Xbox 360 in a "Download and Win" sweepstakes. It was essentially an standard 120GB Elite with a custom wrapper on it. I sadly had to sell it, along with a large portion of my collection to cover some medical expenses.
I later found out that same version apparently been given out as a prize for a few other giveaways from Microsoft. Good times!
Very cool collection
I have the modern warfare 2 360, the copy of modern warfare 2 it comes with is really cool too. It has dev signatures all over the case in silver holographic looking writing. I wish I knew where my copy was lol
I managed to get this version as free a giveaway. Going to pick it up tomorrow. The game is coming with it also so it's really interesting to read your description of those signatures!
@@Gamster_007 awesome, hope you enjoy it dude
I got the Halo 4 system back on release day, trading in my 250GB slim system. It was only £100 to trade in the slim, which was good considering the game was £40, the 2nd controller (different design to Halo 4 controllers sold separately) worth about about £30-40 and the larger 320GB HDD. So considering I would have bought the game on release day anyway, an extra £60 for all the other stuff + a fresh 1yr warranty was too good a deal to pass up.
I believe most of the custom consoles had custom sounds too, for power & eject buttons.
I remember being able to buy pre-modded holiday bundles back in the day, but was only able to grab an rgh2 modded console a few years ago when i had spare cash :(
I've been eyeing the Blue 360E edition to pick up second hand. Still play my Elite regularly!
I love that backwards compatibility with 360 still syncs to the cloud and works with 360 Cloud saves. I'll fire up say Board lands on my OneX on the main TV & if the family needs the TV i just have to save, move to the man cave, boot up the 360 and play right where i left off.
What a time to be alive
An uncle of mine has a few Xbox 360 consoles so that he could set up his own personal Xbox LAN set up so that he and his friends (and my brother and I, once) could play various multiplayer games in one place, like Halo and Diablo 3. Some of those 360s were limited edition ones, including the red Gears of War 3 system featured here. Granted, they were second hand consoles, but I was in awe at the fact that he had them in his possession.
I'm fortunate enough to own the MW3 Xbox 360, it was my brother's who I believe got it when our original family Xbox 360 died, I ended up buying it off him a few years ago and I still sometimes use it. It's got a nice design and I like the sounds it makes.
I used to love these limited edition consoles.
I remember having the red Gears one.
Still have mines and never used the included controllers
The GOW3 360's design is my absolute favorite. God I miss those days.....
i still remember the day my bought us a RE 5 xbox in red, what a beast
The RE5 all red Xbox 360 Elite was my all time fav. Simple color scheme
I have the halo reach limited edition, xbox 360 slim console I love it since it gives me so. Much nostalgia and brings me back, great memories. 😃💚💯
Absolutely all beautiful here where I live, only a few editions I could see were Gears of War, Halo 4, MW3 and the two white editions, the MW2 I had never seen, and I have an Xbox 360 Elite in black, but in the 360 my favorite is Halo 4 very nice design. amazing your collection greetings from Costa Rica
