As an update to our earlier article about a black Xbox 360 having been spotted in an ad over at Gamespot, we now have more pictures of the alleged black version of the console, taken during a Samsung event.
According to a SmartHouse reader who was present at the said Samsung-Microsoft event in Seattle, the pictures don't lie this time, as Samsung used the black-hued 360 consoles to demonstrate the connectivity between Samsung LCD screens and the graphics engine of the Xbox 360.
Salman from Tech4Gamers writes "Mortal Kombat 9 revived the series from a low point after bringing it back to 2D combat. It marked a new high-point for the franchise due to its incredible roster, exciting cinematic story mode, and high-octane combat."
That game was actually goated. It was the first time ever that I actually tried to get good at a fighting game. Unfortunately the online connection was so dogshit it made it hard to enjoy and eventually I gave up. Haven't really played much fighting games since.
Microsoft has slashed the prices of games across the Xbox 360 store in preparation for its July 29th closure.
The Dishwasher
Vigilante 8
Two non-BC and no-PC-version Arcade titles I downloaded recently. Dishwasher's sequel is on Steam at least.
I've also downloaded Ninety-Nine Nights II (shame the first wasn't available). I still want to download Burnout 3: Takedown before the weekend's up, though that is still the full $9.99 non-discounted price
The Xbox 360 Marketplace is officially shutting down in three days, which means dozens of exclusive, digital-only 360 games will no longer be available to purchase anywhere else once it does.
The Xbox 360 will be almost 20 years old next year, and to celebrate this milestone Microsoft have decided to obliterate all of its online functionality.
Fortunately, the X360 was jailbroken a long time ago, so a good part of its library is available for download from 'alternative' sources. Still, it's a bummer to see the store going away.

Also they can keep the store up for life if they wanted.
Series X for the back compat titles, and OG Xbox and X360 for those not on BC. I pretty much bought all of the digital games I want for the 360 so I am good.
Its a dev kit, microsoft would have used black not grey. All grey xbox 360 have been dev kits, this was the case even before launch. The first pictures we saw of an xbox 360 were this grey and they were dev kits. If it was a retail console the disk tray would have been chrome like the white colour consoles that microsoft currently ships in the premium units.
I understand why samsung is using grey, the white consoles really stick out when against black and silver tvs. It would look like their advertising the xbox 360 and not the TV. The point of the ad was to show HD gaming and not advertise the xbox 360.
Point blank, the only black consoles that were released by microsoft were the limited carbon fiber PGR3 xbox 360s. This is GREY not BLACK. The PSP and PS3 are black.
Anyways can't wait for the debates of "It's black, no it's dark green"
i wouldn't really care for a black 360 because to me that looks pretty ugly. white makes it look slick and clean and stuff like that
Huh, yah like shotty said dev. kits came in this dark grey. That's all this is, this isn't black.
Who cares about console color anyways???, materialistic people maybe.
You didn't cover the trap up with enough leaves.
