Microsoft's Xbox 360 production has ended.

Call of Duty 3 (online) thoroughly loaded on a cocktail of substances - fond memories indeed; discovering the myriad of glitches was also great fun... Beyond that, not much, tbh. My wife enjoyed Tales of Vesperia... and still has to finish it (iirc) . Trawling across Oxford Street in London trying to find a copy of GTA4 on release before I flew back to Italy (I did, but I had to buy the guide with it, doubling the price... although even that was still cheaper than buying a copy in Italy)

It's an impressive system - but I still need to find some 'quiet time' in my life so I can actually play a lot more games... I'll get there eventually

 

Got some great Xbox 360 memories collected over the years. Getting the system a few days before the official launch and basically only playing Smash TV and Ridge Racer 6. Scavenging the Xbox Marketplace for free content (who doesn't remember that weird video of those pilots racing with their airplanes LOL). Countless matches of Bomberman Live, wasting hours b/c of achievement hunting, being Niko Bellic and getting sucked into Liberty City, getting my house full with plastic music instruments thanks to Rock Band, system linking Saints Row 3 and playing the whole game in CO-OP, That moment when the Halo 3 beta got released, Burnout Paradise!!! and many more great memories!

 

What would the best system to get since it's now out of production? the E model or the S Model? which holds up better (also does the release date (i.e. 2012 or 2013 etc) come into play for more non-error'd consoles (RRoD etc) ?

 

I'd get a 360 E. The eject sensor can be a little flakey on the slim.

 

Ahhh well it had to happen at some point.

 

I don't consider XBOX360 a special moment at all, probably terrible machine due to failure rate and lack of quality of games in later cycle. Online fees is nonsense after I discover that PSN is actually pretty descent in early days. I still have the original XBOX360 model (without a HDMI port) back in the launch day in 2005 and still working because I only played three games which is MotorGP06, Halo 3 and Gears of war. Since I have the PS3 in late 2006, I never look back since then.

Unfortunate, I don't have good moment with Microsoft and XBOX360.

 

I bought a secondhand Xbox 360 last year for £69, just purely so I could get to play Hydro Thunder Hurricane on it. Glad I did, it's an absolutely awesome game. I bought the remake of Radiant Silvergun not long after that, and I relaise afterwards that the complete 360 system and the digital download cost me less money than I paid for the actual Saturn version of the game on it's own.

 

My favorite memories was buying lots of broken xbox's on ebay, and attempting to fix them up for sale/homebrew. Ebay was a great source of those 25/50 xbox lots for sale.
Also just showing off to my friends the silly mods that were around for games. ahhh great times. Alot of nostalgia flowing after this thread!
