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.
News these days, they don't even bother digging enuff
added new dashboard style, other security updates. Anti-Piracy 3.0, XGD 4.5 Challenge responses has been updated
update most likely due to Gears leak yesterday on internet :)
Thank you MS for continually improving the xbox live experience and reliability. This is why we continue to pay instead of use the sub-par free options available.
Again, thanks!!!
I suspect given the trend on the internets the last two weeks, I will get the most agrees if I offer that this update is designed to enhance the xbox's ability to ruthlessly murder babies, puppies and kittens.
It should be free. It offers nothing. My experience with xboxlive has made me understand that my PS3 has a better service. I've played all the COD's up until Black Ops 2. I decided to buy it on the PS3. I have had less interuptions and lag problems on the PN then Live. Hell, even the Netflix streaming looks way better on the PS3. So what service are we talking about on xboxlive that's so great. I really like both systems, but Xboxlive doesn't offer really much that I can't get for free on the PS3.
Sounds pretty insignificant to me.
