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.

Old Xbox makes it feel like it’s out of this world.

I like how it gets perpetually more soulless over time

The first Xbox felt almost alien

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.

The original 360's dashboard was so cool looking. Id like to use it over the latest one

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

You can never beat the XBox original, so many memories on that wonderful machine

Grateful that I lived through the golden era of gaming

Personally, I don’t think anything beats the original 360 boot up. Truly an epic experience. And yes I mean the 2005 one

We went from a pizza box to a mini fridge.

2:36 brings me back, man

The 2010 360 startup is definitely the most nostalgic to me. It was the first console I owned.

2:36 ahhhhh the memories of that sound

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.

1:55 my favorite dashboard of all time. Loved the dark grey and green miniblades, combined with the best bootup over the kinect/metro and the organized main dashboard altogether.

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

0:10 nostalgia for that original 2001 Xbox menu 🥺

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

Never had my own 360 but I did use a friend's and this is nostolgic asf

Crazy how old DASHBOARDS can make you nostalgic af 😂

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

Man I always forget how good the 2012 interface was. It's just perfect

The 2008 xbox 360 startup and all its sounds will forever be the most memorable for me. And the most nostalgic too.

The dashboard from 2008 was my prime in gaming.. Soo many memories it’s crazy. 😢❤️

me, the veteran of xbox, windows and playstation, i remember all of these and now i clearly see my first boot of my first console, the original xbox. ye, these times were so much better than today, if u ask me about that. i know, you can call me boomer, but i am not. i just like old things more than new ones, that is why i use windows vista, psp and xbox360 from 2005 today lol idk why, i just don't like new windows, and even though i have xbox series x in my house i still use the old one

I honestly live the 2001 start up! It gives me good nostalgic vibes

You sir, just hit nostalgia heaven for me.

0:51 0:55 1:43 1:47 4:14 5:46 8:05 8:06 8:07

I love that the startup still inherited something from the old consoles. The sound is similar to the 360, the startup is similar to the One X and the XBOX logo could be from the original.

the old and new Xbox 360 boot up sounds, and the dashboard is just endless nostalgia bro

For me the sounds are what's taking me to my Childhood, thats amazing

3:15 I still use this one today, god I feel old

The 2017 Xbox One Dashboard and Startup gave me a nostalgia high

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!)

The wave of nostalgia i got from the 360 startups is unreal

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.)

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

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.

Xbox has the better startups over Playstation, I said what I said.

The original had the best startup. It’s still just too cool.

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

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.

Dude the 2001 startup animations are so cool And the 2017 animation it's so cool

Original 360 dashboard was and still is the best. Looks great. Easy to navigate. Simple.

Takes me back to the days of playing with my brother when I was a kid. RIP A.J.

The 2012 X360 had everything: cool desgin, great organization and lot of functions that nowadays is hidden

The OG Xbox gives me chills

Never forget when Xbox's startup was a nuclear reactor

OG Xbox just hits different, with the next series of models they should really mix in the old with the new.

2010 360 intro is the best, glad they still use it

I started my gaming on the OG 2005 360 dash... i vividly remember just being so intrigued when cycling through all the menus and seeing all the different colors for each tab LOL... thennnn the 2008 update happened....

Arrrrr The Xbox OG Is Like A Lab Xbox StartUp

I hope Microsoft bring the Xbox 360 dashboard from 2012 to Xbox one

This video made me realize that I've had every generation of Xbox. Ahh, the memories unlocked in this video...

the 2001 xbox is an omnitrix

The Xbox 360 dashboard from 2012 was pretty cool ngl. Brings me back to so many memories 😩

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.

I loved the 360 Slim's dashboard and the startup animation, it looked cool and somewhat new 3 years ago when I had it. I WANT IT BACK

Maybe it's just nostalgia, but there's something about the layout in the 2008 and 2010 dashboards that's just so much better to look at and navigate

2012 was my era, I love it and miss it so much! 🥺

Nothing can beat the interface of the original Xbox. It was like being in the future every time I played.

2012 360 was peak

Xbox 360 is the king of Xbox

The very first xbox start up+menu was (and still is) way ahead of its time. Nobody will ever put in the effort to make another start up+menu that will beat it, or at the very least be on par

my god the 2010-12 xbox 360 home screen is just sooo nostalgic... that and the original xbox one home screen.

are we not gonna talk about the transition at 4:12

a remastered version on the first one would be ❤‍🔥🔥

the 2012 Dadhboard and the original 360 dashboard are the best ones

it's so interesting to see the 360's updated startup/menus over the years. i wonder what it would've looked like if they just kept updating it forever.

Holy crap the Xbox 360 start up filled with so much nostalgia

consoles used to be so stylish

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

2:35 hands down, the best one

At 1 point I had used the X-Box 360 startups for my production logos for Benton Film Unlimited, but I'd stopped doing that after a while. I went on to use other things. I try not to do that anymore because I don't want to be stealing anything I know I don't own, respectfully.

Wish we still had avatars. They were so fun to update based on your style and different in game items you would unlock.

This brings back so many memories

i loved the 2016 xbox one dashboard. i just knew where everything was and I loved it

0:06 GREAT GRANDFATHER OF XBOX ONE, I AM YOUR GREAT GRANDKID’S UNCLE, WINDOWS 10!

This is relaxing😎😎 4:19

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.

It was better when they were creative instead of another damn windows 10

the xbox 360 2005, My favourite

The 2010 startup was it for me.

How nostalgic the start of the first How nostalgic the start of the first console, Who knows where it will have been Who knows where it will have been stored 😔😔😔

Who else is a trained super geek in video games 🤞😆💯😎

This video brings back so many early childhood memories.

Im so happy xbox 360 is finally starting to get good emulation, the beautiful blade menu needs to not be forgotten

2:35 this has got to be my favorite console startup ever

0:01 que recuerdos cuando y vamos alas maquinitas a jugar con nuestros amigos 🙃

Bro the nostalgia from the original Xbox. The blade dashboards on 360 were too short lived.

2001 is goated. One of the most amazing start up and u.i's ever. Also the very first 360 intro and ui

Original Xbox is really amazing. That design works perfectly even today.

Anyone else heartbroken with the 2008 update? The original was so much more fun

og xbox's intro looks so out of this world

Man the Xbox original had futuristic UI, now its like from 1000 years before

Xbox Series X Trailer 2019

The series X one is fire

I still remember my first Xbox ahhh the sweet 2012 summer nights that I spent playing Skyrim when life was simple and we had one worry and that was our consoles breaking and now the memories are the only ones we love now we never have the time for the console that is covered in shame and dust

Man seeing the old Xbox startup screens and menus bring so much mastalgia
