Techtorial: Here's a list of Cyber Monday deals you can now get for Microsoft (PC & XBox 360) along with Xbox Live's mediocre sales.
Everything you need to know for Cyber Monday discounts on Nintendo Switch games, accessories, and consoles.
The Xbox 360 launched in North America 18 years ago, and is now officially old enough to buy you a drink in Europe.
Great platform, and many of its games (not bc) still hold up well to this day. Like the PS3, I keep a 360 hooked up for those games you can't play any other way.
The last gasp of greatness from XBox, you are missed, except the RROD that was lame, but amazing exclusives until the Kinect dropped.
I really enjoyed my X360, some great exclusives on it. Used to play the shit out ot Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey, two masterpieces
It's been 20 years to the day since Xbox Live brought online play to consoles.
I remember when Live turned five and they had special edition controllers made and everything. Kind of wished they would do that again for the 20th.
Happy Birthday. OG XBL (and later 360 XBL) really revolutionized online gaming on console.
Never understood the obsession with live...but I was gaming online on PC so not sure too much of what live did that the PlayStation didn't.
I had a PS2 and it's online experience was fine but it didn't have the same level of polish voice chat never worked for me but I was trying to play from Australia where not many people played PS2 online to the point where many devs simply dropped the online mode from the pal version.
That's not all PS2 games mind you there were plenty that worked perfectly but it was more on the dev and not the platform
During that era I also played a fairly large amount on online PC games and they were undoubtedly better than both systems. PS2 from functionality and Xbox because it was free
Playing my friends original Xbox it was a really polished experience it felt robust yet simple things just worked there was zero config.
Yeah but the time ps3 came the experience was the same on both based on what I played...not too much online though to be honest. But I do think that the xbox did help bring online into the console space a lot. As well as PC games to consoles.
Today would of been the perfect day to drop halo 2 the original bc version free on gwg.... If only
That's an ugly sale on XBL. 2 of those things are free on PC all year round.
Not from Microsoft, but there are a couple of deals going around today such as this one 4000 MS points for about $37 (this is essentially discounted money). I'll now be buying Halo 4 DLC for $5 off.

And the same site has 12 months gold memberships for under $40
I have to admit, i have xbox live, and i barely use it. It has become a ripoff, i have it because when i was in college but i decided not to pay anymore. Unless if i find a 12 month for 30 bucks or so. Wish Microsoft will stop ripping off people!
typical MS over priced garbage that is free everywhere else. Wonder how many of the MS sheeple will bite?
