I miss the days of games actually being on the disks and there wasn’t a need for internet.

Still have mine running 11 years later after I bought it. I play GTA 5, Arkham City and Origins on it pretty regularly. Such a great system.

The Xbox 360 was a great console. I remember getting the Xbox 360 which came with the 20GB detachable hard drive and was bundled with the original Gears of War and Call of Duty 3. I remember when I fired up Gears of War and I was just blown away how great the game looked and how well it played. I also thought it was cool being able to use a wireless controller straight out of the box. Some of my favourite games from that era include the Orange Box, Halo 3, Halo Reach, Dead Space, Dead Space 2, Fallout 3, Call of Duty Modern Warfare, Forza Motorsport 2, Left 4 Dead, Battlefield 3 and the Tomb Raider reboot.

I still have my Xbox 360 from well over 15 years ago (I purchased mine after the first roll out with the 'red ring of death' issues and Microsoft apparently fixed the problem with further roll outs) and it still runs great I play it from time to time (because several of the fun games that I still have are not backwards compatible with the Xbox One unfortunately). Great system overall in my opinion (and I still have some unique specialized controllers and other accessories for it too) 😎👍

Very cool, I still play the Xbox 360 along with Xbox One, if the Xbox Series X ever comes out of extinction I'll be playing that one too.

One of my favorite features of my Xbox one is the backwards compatibility with the 360. So many of those games are dirt cheap these days, and I live for it

This is so weird, I literally found my old 360 and set it up last night. I remembered its backwards compatible and now I'm half way through playing Halo 2. Such an amazing game and wonderful era of gaming. Going to play through the original gears of war afterwards!

Such a great console and definitely a highlight of that generation. Everything just felt so fresh and new when it came out, not to mention the degree of online multiplayer becoming even more mainstream. Sure it had its faults, but the library it had was fantastic and catered to almost every kind of gamer. I still have mine and about 200 games, but unfortunately had to put in storage because of space issues, someday I'll dig out the treasure trove that I have and replay my favorites.

I still say the 360/ps3/wii era was the last exciting generation of gaming. I know younger people will disagree because they didn't experience it, but what's so exciting about this current gen? So many games littered with micro transactions and loot boxes, grind to get these items or give us more money, constant patches because every game is rushed to market... It's not as fun as it used to be.

I bought an OG X-Box late last year... My first ever X-Box 😁

I just picked up my first Xbox (360) a few months ago at a garage sale for $30 with multiple games. Same model you have. I’m loving it so far! And the games are so cheap so it makes collecting actually fun.

Playing Gears of War in 2006 was a truly next generation experience; simply jaw dropping. Any Xbox built Nov/2008 and beyond has the cooler Jasper chipset aka, no more RROD.

Just got the same model of the 360 as well in January. Am so happy to play old games that aren't backwards compatible but the value went up on a lot of them.

I got my Xbox 360 In 2011, and I played it continuously until 2019 when I upgraded to the one X. It’s my favorite system still, and I’m glad I never got rid of it.

I bought a 360 E a few months ago. So nice playing modern-ish games without internet or downloads. Best 50 dollars I ever spent! (Also whatnot is addictive. Which is bad for the credit card.)

I think the 360 might be my second favorite system, after the NES. It definitely had its problems (I had 5 systems red ring). It was a great time for gaming. The 360 might have one of the best game libraries in existence.

After losing my last 360, my little brother handed down his “newer” 360 to me. I get to play all my old games-Catherine, new Vegas, L4D. Too bad I can’t play my digital games.

The Xbox 360 and the NES are tied in first place, as my all time favorite consoles. To me, gaming peaked out in creativity during the PS3 and Xbox 360 era. Sure, games look better now, but besides looks, I haven’t played anything since then, that really felt like a new experience. Most modern games, just feel like reskinned versions of older games. It’s been a long time, since I booted up a game, and was amazed by it.

I still have my Jasper JTAG 360 hooked up and regularly play it...1tb full of games including some unofficial ones like Goldeneye HD and unsupported backward compatible original Xbox games like Need for Speed Underground which looks so good as it's upscaled and plays perfect!

Still rocking the PS3 and Xbox 360. I mean I have a Ps4 as well but the 7th Gen consoles will always have a special place in my heart. I did love the Ps2 as well but I really got to grow up with the ps3 and Xbox 360…. I hope they don’t go offline for awhile longer…. I know they will have to at some point though.

Glad to see some retro stuff again. I think the time is right to start re-visiting some great 360 games.

AV port doubles as a headphone jack on the E models. What I do is have a 3.5mm extension cable with a volume dial on it and plug my headphones straight in. It's pretty nifty.

I recently went traveling and took my 360 instead of my series x. On my down time i would play it for a bit and remembered how fun it was to use.

360 games still look good over 15 years later.

A guy was giving away the same model that you bought in Sydney for free with 8 games. I went over and picked it up the other week and it was all working (controllers needed some foil to make it work). As someone who has never owned an XBox I am looking forward to playing some of their classics.

Good video. I just picked up a 360 last month. I’m having a blast with it. It’s a great system. I hope you enjoy yours.

Thanks for the nostalgic blast! It really was one of the best 👍🏼

My xbox 360 died a few years back in 2007 or 2008. So shortly after i went to a local game store by my apt. They had the arcade version with hdmi output. Slapped in the 20gb hard drive i had. i still have that 360 & works to this day. Playing gears of war 1-3 , burnout revenge , call of duty 2 online & rockband & guitar hero locally with friends was great fun & an awesome time. Good memories

We had Halo LAN parties many many weekends. Had RRoD that MS fixed for free and still have it to this day. Slim & E models are extremely reliable. The power brick kept the heat outside the console & was easily replaced vs if it were built into the console. Controllers were solid and still work to this day because of the ability to use AA batteries wether they were standard AA or rechargeable. I have PS3 comptrollers that no longer work because the built in battery no longer holds a charge. Yes, you can take the controller apart & replace but not everyone knows how or are confident doing so.

It's crazy.... I have my PS 5 & X Box Series X with an XBox 360 (also re-purchased) sitting next to it! Gotta have it to play keyboards on Rock Band, Beatles Rock Band, NHL Hitz, and Circus Maximus... All of which I play with friends regularly. I also thought that the X-Box Live store was amazing for its time too... Lots of cool, smaller games available. I hardly ever go on the store now.

You and Spawnwave are feeling extra Nostalgic over here! 🎮👌🏻

It's kinda odd how they got rid of the ability to use component in E models, but they still kept the ability to use composite, even though component is better than composite, but less than HDMI.

I used to have an Xbox 360 Slim that died on me and I was so devastated that I went and got another one right away. I usually don't do that but the 360 was a brilliant system.

You made me smile with your enthusiasm rgt good on you

360 is still my favorite system of all time. Just picked up another unit at a retro gaming expo this past weekend. Thanks for the video!

The power vrick had a lot of different voltages it supplied, but it also had its own fan and cooling vents so it needed space for air to circulate inside. Very often people open up the console to clean out the fan and heatsink, but don't clean the fan of the PSU. If you've had Xbox Gold in the past, log in and download all those free 360 games that belong to you!!

That’s the first game I played when I got a 360 about two years ago. It was fun, but a few too many spots where the challenge was figuring out where to move a dinosaur so that you could open a gate.

Omg I LOVE how you mentioned the Jurassic Park game, because that's one of the reasons I'm picking up a 360 again since I can't play it on my Series X

Still have my Star Wars Xbox 360 right next to my xbox1s and OG Xbox. All work great! Super video!

What KZfaq looked like when I opened it today. Spawn Wave: I'm buying original Xbox games. Here's why RGT: I'm buying Xbox 360. Here's why

Ya my name is rgt and I stopped buying retro games boys

Recently went to visit a family member and found my old Xbox 360 set up. Naturally I ended up buying a copy of Project Gotham Racing 3, it was my first 360 game and it's still so good.

I still love the sound when you unlock an achievement on 360 games.

Great video! I am still a 360 fan, and I have 4 of them on hand. As you said, that was the last generation in which the graphical jump was so massive, and the fact that the increases have seemed less so from 360 to current gen is why, at least to me, many 360 titles still hold up well. I recently added a model E to my stable, and I really wish Microsoft hadn't gone with that half high gloss look. It scuffs way too easily.

I love the 360, so many good games that at least were pretty cheap. The limited edition consoles are amazing with new power on sounds and stuff, like the R2-D2 one. Bang for the buck in the last few years has been totally awesome!

Just bought an Original Xbox and latest model 360 a few weeks ago. These will be relics.

I would love to see you do a playthrough of the Jurassic Park game. I think that would be a lot of fun to see in 2022. Thanks for the video and I’m happy that your wrestling game worked for you! 😊

I have my 5th Xbox 360 and I use it mainly for Digital Pinball and Rocksmith 2014 with a USB to instrument cable to play my Bass Ukulele. I recently picked up a Series X via Target and have not taken it out of the box (yet), A treat for when I rework the Office and Streaming rig. I was disappointed that My Midway Classics for the original Xbox Was not backward compatible but was able to get a digital version for five bucks.

Man seeing this just makes me reminisce on how much I went through when my original first Xbox 360 had went out , no red ring of death the AC plug went out and no replacement I got was working and funny enough RGT has the same Xbox I got to replace my original one but back to what I was saying I went about a whole presidential term and maybe a bit more without a new one and either last year or the year before I got tired of not having a 360 kause I missed playing MW3 , raging blast 1 and 2 and I wanted to get a 360 to play games I missed that I watch my fav KZfaqr play for example , family guy back to the multiverse, The Godfather games blitz the league 2 max Payne 3 destiny (when it was actually worth a damn) Disney infinity and burst limit. And now I’ve had for a year or a little over and I’m glad I reclaimed one of my main sources of happiness so I’m glad to see people still rep this 💯💚💚💚💚✅

still playing mine to this day, and its such a throw back

I legit have 4 Xbox 360 consoles because of the red ring lol still lot of great memories on the system. I have at least 2 of them working with one being an Xbox 360 Slim. However, I loaned my brother my slim to watch Netflix on it cause I got the Xbox one and he returned it to me 2 years later with no power supply haha so now I need a new power brick to see how the system is doing. Great vid!

I've been playing the 360 since 2012. It's such a sweet console, and tbh, a very underrated console. When I was in the 2nd grade (2005-2006 school year), I remember so many kids talking about how awesome their 360 is, and I thought I'd never get my hands on one. Then on Christmas 2012 me and my brother were given a 360 slim. It ran super well all the way until May 2021 when it got the red ring of death. That was an easy fix though, we just got another one off ebay, then popped the hard drive in and it runs just as well. I let my brother have that one, and I got the 360 E for myself. The 360 definitely has always been a favorite for me 😁

I bought an X360 pretty recently myself this year. I've been needing a wired controller to play steam games (much easier than troubleshooting with PS4 or Switch Pro controllers) but also have some old games on the system I've wanted to play and finish, like Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon respectively. The game selection is limited though and not a whole lot I want out of it (JRPG fan here) but it has exclusives so I decided to hit two birds with one stone purchase.

I was working at EB games when it came out. It's still my favorite system of all time.

I just bought a second 360 to play system link with my kids. Just ordered a second copy of Black Ops II. Can't wait!

I actually bought a 360 a few weeks ago, and it was this same E Model. I actually never knew they released another model after the S Model, which was the last one I had years ago.

The 360 was pretty cool and though the red ring kinda affected the later model it was still a good console

Still holding onto my 360 since quite a few of my favorites didn't make it to backwards compatibility.

I have three 360s at the moment. My main one is the Halo 4 edition (bought it boxed, including the special edition controllers). Picked up two more last year for like 40 bucks each, both came bundled with about 20 games. Great way to expand the games collection!

I started with the PS3 then got the 360 later After all the problems were ironed out But played most this gen on the PS3

I have 3 of these bad boys. One i bought, the other my friend gave it to me because it didn't read discs and the 3rd i found at the dump and it works better than my first one

Awesome. The Xbox 360 is so nostalgic to me. I recently hooked mine up to my TV again, my controller was broken so I had to get a new one, but once that comes, best believe I will be reliving my childhood on this thing!

RTG, you are correct, the original white 360 did not have HDMI with the early models; however, later white models also had HDMI and the RROD ended when the reduced Jasper chipset released in original white models starting from November, 2008 models of the console.

I recently purchased an Xbox X as my first next gen system. The X series is quite the upgrade in regards to having the ability to play 4K games and etc. However, I still find myself in the unique position on continuing to utilize the Xbox 360 as my Windows Media extender (WMC) from my PC's WMC. I found the Xbox X series a system which should replace the X360 but learning that WMC has been discontinued by Microsoft themselves for several years, next "gen" system will never have this app unless there is a demand.

I thought hard about this some time ago and the 360 is my favorite console of all time. I date back to the beginning of the OG NES days so I’ve seen some cycles. Shiny HD graphics, built in online capability, Xbox Live Arcade, and so many of my all time favorite games launching over the years (Oblivion/Skyrim, Dragon Ages, Demons Souls, Mass Effects, Halos, Gears, Etc.). And I can put the disc in and play it without having to download 40Gb which means I actually own the game. Bought a second (Elite) about 3 months back and absolutely love it. Still actively collecting all those hidden gems that eluded me back in the day. Prices are still low and availability is high.

It’s ironic you uploaded this because I’ve been collecting heavily for the 360 for about the past 3-4 months lol

reminds me of being in a halfway house. we used to have an several accounts on the 360. this was 2018 too felt like I was in a time warp. we would even do mw2 quick scope games

LOVE the 360... I'd still be playing on that hardware today if I could but so much is unsupported and frankly have no room. Even with the Red Ring of Death, when the system works... it worked for me, if ya know what I mean. This was my first non-Nintendo or Non-Sega system I ever owned. I bought another 360 after my first died, and that other model never RROD'd ever

It's a nice system. I was very late to the party (beeing a PS3 guy) and didn't buy one until 2013. Still have quite a few games left to play on it. Some of those will be playable on my Xbone, but not all. The REALLY weird thing is that I (for reasons I don't really understand myself) still think the X360 feels lika fairly modern console, despite being last-last-gen. 😅

Just bought one for my collection, can't wait to get it!

I have 2 "elite" xbox 360s that still run just fine, only had to change the belts on the disk drives and clean out the fans and heatsinks every couple of years.

I was lucky to buy a brand new 360 E Slim back in May 2021. I was back into collecting video games; and while 2021 onward may be the worst time to collect video games, I had no regrets getting this system back. The Xbox 360, while most look into PS3 / Wii for 1st Party Exclusives, import scene, collecting value ; the Xbox 360 E Slim ( the one RGT 85 shows ) is best out of the previous two systems. You can be able to obtain 3rd Party Titles for a reasonable price in comparison to the PS3 versions, you can install the disc on your hard drive, where when you boot up the your game disc, the disc will not spin and will act as an disc reader - meaning it'll play. The 360 also plays around 50 % of Original Xbox games, which is cool. Its a great system, the games are way cheaper than PS3 titles as nobody cares nor sees value on 360 . So if you are wanting to start building a game collection, the Xbox 360 is a no brainer as well as the Wii & Ps3

I still have the one I bought in 2008.

I legit got mine back in 2020 again and I’m really glad I did even those tough to find crash bandicoot games that were for it are fun to me still

Wow $100!! I picked up a 4gb console only for £5 and a 250gb with power brick, hdmi cable & 1x controller for £25. Very cheap here in the UK! Just in the process of making a video of completely cleaning it. Good video.

I sold mine to get a Series X... But now I want one again 😭

Best version of the 360 imo. Tidy design, hdmi port, physical eject button and built in WiFi (no need for 1 of them annoying dongles).

Bought an OG Xbox, Retrotink 5x and the last gen of 360 the last few months. Tired of the lack of performance some games have on backwards compatibility and/or wondering if the game is BC without looking it up. It's been great and inexpensive to collect for. Minus, 50 Cent Blood in tha Sand, Manhunt, and Silent Hill 2: Restless Dreams. So good to visit the many great games that I never got to play.

I actually brought my first 360 on Monday 13th March 23, I'm in uk but I'm halo nfs forza etc now, bring back the old gamer in me

Xbox 360 is the best controller hands down 🙌

Cod was such a great game!🤩 The campaign and multiplayer were so much fun. Btw sold my 360 in 2022. It was collecting dust. Ofcourse I still have the controller 😍🎮

I like how the Home Menu doesn't just feel like green stuff on a gray gradient - it feels like the UI is standing on a solid floor.

just got my xbox 360 in 2023 and well its just like my old one but better no sign of the ring of death its been 3 months now and everythings fine.

Damn man, I got a working E model for free when someone dumped one in front of my old work place haha. Keep in mind OG Xbox games on the 360 can be super glitchy though.

No one should need to buy the xbox 360 at all it’s not a console that you should of got rid of in the first place it’s not a failure it was the first console that gave achievements that had so many classic arcade games such as Pac-Man teenage mutant ninja turtles arcade Simpson much more it was playing so many original xbox games I never got rid of mine I still play with it the same goes for PS3 the only consoles you should get rid of is the NES Super Nintendo Sega Genesis all the 16 bits consoles Atari consoles the consoles that released in 2005-2006 are amazing this was just the beginning but for Nintendo they are all the same Nintendo 64 to Nintendo switch same graphics

A few months ago I was having a clear out and found a load of 360 games and my old white console which no longer worked so I thought I would buy a second hand 360 slim console on Ebay just for old times sake and so glad I did I got a 200 GB slim console with controller and it all came in original box and all for 30 English pounds as I live in the UK still play it today so glad I bought it totally respect your idea mate 💯

Yo! I'm a big fan of XBOX 360. I agree with you. This system was a game changer. I remember camping out in Santa Monica to get one. Purchased my first HD TV around the same time too! Amazing times!

I got one for my birthday in 2013, and I still play it regularly! And I LOVE IT!

I remember playing on the old 360, went through 5 of them. Most came to their fait with the red ring of death, whilst my 5th one was the last Xbox 360 i'd ever buy, and the last one to ever play. I went through so many memories from B02, FH1 - FH2, CoD Ghosts and so many more, 7 years of playing on that console, then came 2019, I sold that 360 and I upgraded to the Xbox 1S and I still have that console 3 years later.

I have many 360s but the best $ i ever spent was buying a RGH modded 360 slim about 2 years ago. Its amazing for playing 360 games, backups, homebrew, etc...but my personal favorite part is the whitelisted backward compatibility list that expanded the amount of bootable og xbox titles. Its not perfect but its really cool if youre into that feature. Being able to backup the discs is a sweet feature as well.

I still remember turning mines on to be met with the red ring of death and having 2 weeks warrenty left 😂😂 got the replacement soft modded. Was an amazing console

RGT 85, great video! Would it be possible to get a video on where to buy new or used Original Xbox 360 controllers? I find it nearly impossible.

I bought an Xbox 360e as my first Xbox as they were doing huge price drops when the One came out. 2 years ago I bought a 360 slim and have them networked together to play LFD2. Lots of fun.

Great video. I still have my 360 Jasper edition.

I'm an old man of 68 and I used to have Xbox360 when they first came out, I ended up giving it to my grown son for his kids years ago. Well I just bought a used one, bought a hard drive from Ebay and just started GTA 5. :)

I am a PlayStation fanboy, but since seeing a modded XBOX back in 2004 I always wanted to have one and witht he prices of XBOX 360's being dirt cheap I just picked one up and have RGH'd it and man it is awesome. Not needing to use the DVD drive to play the games, cheap as games . I feel like the 360 has reached the bottom of the price curve. I paid NZ$50 for my slim with a power brick and controller. I am happy to be part of the XBOX club now.

it's possible the HDD has been modified with the whitelist mod that was done to try at get as many of the blacklist working on the system.

I play mine every week, NCAA14 and 2k8 College Hoops is a staple in my rotation. But Saw 2 and Saw was a pickup lately so playing through those. Love collecting for the 360.

Shoot - I’ve got one here in great condition that I would have just given to you RGT85!
