Jed Pressgrove from Fate of the Game says: "This gesture from Microsoft, to me, is more positive than the company’s recent turnaround on DRM. The turnaround came from pressure applied by Sony and extremely negative word of mouth around the world about Microsoft’s horrible Xbox One policies. Praising Microsoft for the turnaround is like praising a man who finally decides to stop beating his wife."
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.
Today would of been the perfect day to drop halo 2 the original bc version free on gwg.... If only
Xbox Live 1.0, the first instance of online servers for the original Xbox, is set to return via Insignia, a free third-party service that's currently compatible with 20 titles, such as Call of Duty: Finest Hour and Counter-Strike.
ms aren't your friend, they're not buying you a sandwich...
Doesn't gold plus stop at the end of the year.
Nice gesture but I believe this will last tile the end of the year or till the XB1 is released right?
Bashing your wife is a shameful analogy. Also, this is just another fanboy bait site, right now its so easy to say anything negative about MS to simply get hits, nothing more, nothing new added to the situation. No one really knows what either company will do down the road regarding DRM, but at least MS showed its hands, Sony only told you what you wanted to hear to capitalize and gain traction. The current model involving games sales will eventually burn out, and everyone knows that. You are delusional to think otherwise. The next year will be very interesting....
