The price hike was an error. Microsoft will reimburse the difference to anyone who paid too much.
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.
Ha. Good on them, but all this backtracking isn't boding well for the company. But alas, it's good they're fixing it.
Tomorrow Ballmer will announce the company's restructuring, here's to hoping Xbox doesn't get set aside to focus on the money-making segments of the company, because let's face it, Xbox is a grain of salt when compared to Windows, Office, and Office 365.
MS made a mistake AND OUR CHILDREN WILL SUFFER FOR IT!
I'm almost starting to feel sorry for MS. So much bad publicity lately...
So this was an error that they are fixing, that's good news. It was kind of sad and pathetic seeing how many people kept saying stuff like the prices had to be higher because the point system was going away. It really makes me wonder where people keep their brains.
good for MS glad to hear it. I will say when I think they did something I don't like but I will also give them a good job if I feel they did the right thing for their customers.
