Just got a x-box 360 and loving every minute of it

This console is still kinda current, has an awesome library of games in my view. I was a bit hesitant as I’ve only been a handheld player for the past 10 years or so.

But my God, I’m impressed. Glory to the players!!

What have you been playing on, lol?

How exactly can you be a handheld only player for the last 10 years? What is going on?

@hardwenzen: ds 3ds and gba primarily.

@xantufrog: on a TV??

Sheep are a crazy bunch🥴

In 2037 outworld222 discovers the Series S and loves the damn thing.

@hardwenzen: we sure are!! Stay hungry my friend!!

@outworld222: lol, yeah. But all handheld - respect. Jumping in on 360 is good cheap gaming now if you aren't a graphics whore or gotta play only the newest games

@hardwenzen: it’s the natural order of progression. Lol ;)

@xantufrog: it’s like culture shock, but in a very good way. Not a bad investment. I’m just glad I wasn’t disappointed. The last consoles I played non handheld were ps2 and n64 before that.

@girlusocrazy: what are you talking about I just googled those games they’re available for the 360.

@girlusocrazy: oh I probably will. There’s a lot of catching up to do.

A lot. I want to get some more titles that I would enjoy.

Nice, I still have my 360 in the bedroom, plays alot of the OG Xbox games too. I think I got THPS 4 in it right now, I still snag games for it when I find them cheap, got a copy of mercenaries, brutal legend, shadows of the damned, and burnout 3 recently to play on it

I need a 360 again, so I can check out this HD-DVD attachment thing I bought years ago at a retro shop.

It's great TC. I kinda envy you for the stuff you're gonna experience for the first time...

You should have grabbed a series s, or a cheap xbox one. Both are backward compatible with most of the 360 library. X360 is a great system though, enjoy.

@goldenelementxl: @blaznwiipspman1: @sargentd:

I take it you gonna buy an Xbox Series S in 2040?

@dagubot: yes. It would be a privilege. As soon as I finish my 360 games though.

Nice. Yeah there’s a lot of great games to enjoy on that system and the good thing is that a lot of those will carry forward to subsequent Xbox systems whenever you get around to getting those.

@Archangel3371: oh true, never really thought about it that way, but I guess it would be compatible with some sort of transfer??

I think I would have gone with a Series S but I also respect retro gamers. I can't believe I just called the 360 retro lol. I'm gonna post this anyway and be ridiculous.

@Jendeh: it’s alright bro. I’m a retro gamer. And the 360 is a retro console in many ways, and I understand that too. It doesn’t sound ridiculous to me.

isn't your 360 upside down? it bugs me a lot lol

Also OG version, nice! watch out for the RROD

@goldenelementxl: @blaznwiipspman1: @sargentd:

@Ithrewupfire: you know what?? It is upside down lol!!!! I’ll fix it.

Yeah RROD would be devastating for sure. Say is the hdd interchangeable with another 360 should I get a RROD??

Cool. A lot of great games got their start on the 360. Enjoy.

Enjoy. I’m enjoying my series X

@girlusocrazy: If they came out on disc (which for the 360/ps3 era is like 99% likely) you'll be able to find them.

@outworld222:

Some recommendations:

Red Dead Redemption

Tomb Raider Legend

Tomb Raider Underworld

Halo 3

Halo Reach

Catherine

Halo Anniversary CE (best version btw)

Silent Hill 2 and 3 Remaster

Silent Hill Downpour

Silent Hill Homecoming

Spiderman Web of Shadows

Gears of War trilogy

GTA IV

Darksiders

Resident Evil 6

Resident Evil Operation Raccoon City

Mass Effect Trilogy

Saints Row 2 and 4

Sonic Anniversary

Yeah, the 360 was basically my favorite part of that gen, aside from the PS Vita.

@nepu7supastar7: thanks!!!

I still have my early 2006 OG 360 with never a RRoD, any interested buyers out there? lol :P

Check out Kameo, Braid, Limbo and Dead Rising.

If you can still get them, grab Banjo-Kazooie and Perfect Dark from the XBLA store.

It works perfectly? Did I somehow imply it needed fixing or am I missing your joke?

lol :P

Came here to say this. At least the Xbox One X is still relevant to this day, it even can rival Xbox Series S which both of those consoles can play Xbox 360 games anyway with better framerate/visuals.

Not knocking on the Xbox 360, it was MS best console they ever put out and giving PS3 a run for its money during the early days. Playing Xbox 360 today's standard is pretty rough IMO. I'm more surprised MS hasn't cut the cord on XBL for 360 alone.

Nevertheless, congrats TC.

@SecretPolice:

The og 360 crapped out on me long ago and I ended getting a slim. So I don't know if I'd want another one. lol

@nepu7supastar7:

Yeah, I was a lucky one I guess. I did end up getting the 360S as a second console for another room so I actually have 2 360's, one OG X1 that just recently failed me, I'm told it likely failed because of an auto update that bricked systems. I also now have two X1X's one an original Scorpio version thanks to my pal Pedro but still XSX'less damit. lol :P

Uh.. I think we used to have a retro gaming forum, could be wrong.

@girlusocrazy:

Look at what just popped up, timing is everything. lol :P

@girlusocrazy:

Oh man that sucks. :(

I'll tell you something, that original 360 I talked about earlier did have a problem. I was playing a game then suddenly everything turned lime green, I checked everything, connections and such but nothing helped so I called MS to see if they could help and stupidly on my part I kept telling them it wasn't RRoD and it turned out to be a cpu issue, they fixed it and charged me $90.00. If I had just gone along with the MS rep and said yeah, yeah, it's RRoD, they would have sent me a new or refurbished 360 for free. lol :P

I got a second hand Xbox 360E. I think the guy who had it before smoked, because the fan crapped out. Opened it and replaced the fan and the thermal paste with MX4. Great console. Still doesn't feel out of date in the way that 6th gen consoles do. I still frequently play Xbox 360 games.

I wasn't a fan of the Xbox during the 360 era because of all the bad practices MS engaged in but at least you are having fun with the system. 😁

Make sure you explore the Xbox Live Arcade Games. So many gems. Definitely check out Radiant Silvergun HD, Rez HD and Castlevania: Sympony of the Night, to name a few.

xbox 360 actually beat out ps3. Sony only caught up at the very end of the generation. Even then, the only reason sony even caught up was because japan. They bought 10 million ps3 consoles, and only 1.5 million of xbox 360.

Also, I re purchased a used xbox 360 for my bro recently. He really enjoyed the budokai series, and sadly its not one of the back compatible games on the list. I think theres some licensing issues going on, which sucks. I thought I wouldn't like playing old xbox 360 games, but I was wrong. I'm really enjoying orcs must die and even played a mario kart rip off, which people still play online. I tried deadspace recently also, and it looks great considering the xbox 360 hardware.

yes I found that the hard way. It seems like some games aren't back compatible due to licensing issues. Budokai is one of those games, and i'm guessing the games you mentioned are the same. There are a few shmups on gamepass. One of them I downloaded is metal slug 3.
