The Xbox 360 hit the scene on November 22, 2005. That is twenty fucking years ago. If you were a teenager or older, you are fucking old. If you still think of it as a "new" console, welcome to the time warp of old age where no matter how old you get, 25 doesn't seem all that long ago. The 360 was an important inflection point in a number of ways.
  1. Online gaming went from "nice to have" to "must have." The 360 was far and away the leader here, as the centrally managed, paid Xbox Live service was far and away better than the ad-hoc experience of the PS3.
  2. DOWNLOADABLE GAMES! WAOW! With XBL, and later PS+, you also got some bonus games with your subscription.
  3. Hardware was no longer a meaningful limitation on visual design. It's not like you can't tell the difference between a 360 game in 600p and a 1080p PS5 Pro game...but it's really obvious that the last 20 years hasn't seen as big an improvement as the previous 20 years. 20 years before the 360 was the NES, after all.

In the last 20 years, though, we've seen a lot of changes!
  • Graphics are now pretty much all 60 fps @ 1080p
  • We have way more representation now! Representation is now driving gaming to new heights now that fat, ugly women are represented in so many games.
  • Calling somebody a "cheating nigger assfuck" on your headset results in AI instantly banning you, creating a safe environment for cheating nigger assfucks to play without feeling marginalized
  • BATTLE PASSES, OH MY GOD IT'S ANOTHER FUCKIN BATTLE PASS, HOPE YOU LOVE BATTLE PASSES
  • Literally nothing else has changed, they are just releasing the same games from 2008 over and over and will never stop, it's the same fucking game, but this is a GOOD thing because I sure loved the games of 2008 and am so glad I can finally play them in HD, 60 fps, and with fat ugly women, auto-banning, and a $30 battle pass!
Here's to another 20 years of stagnation, battle passes, fat ugly women, and cheating nigger assfucks!

I didn't get an xbox 360 until 2009. I remember I got a rise back when I worked at a grocery store making 14 bucks an hour and got one. Then a few years later I got a red God Of War PS3 with the flip top.
 
Still love my PS3 and xbox 360. I haven't wanted to buy a console since and I only bought the Switch I have because of Animal Crossing (mistake purchase).
Fuck I'm old.
 
I remember being just a little spergling and wanting the 3ds like it was the most important thing in the world.
My parents never got it for me, nor was I even allowed to buy it with my own savings "because it would destroy my eyes". At least I have perfect vision now :lol:
 
I didn't have one but I have great memories.
Had a crazy friend who would bring his 360 and we'd play Rainbow 6, terrorist hunt, for hours. He wore tactical clothes to school and would sleep wearing his 5.11 tac boots.

Another got the RROD and successfully managed to pull off the guts-swap and return it back to Gamespot-switcharoo. He is not tech savvy so I was proud of him.

Other pal had one. That was the first Dead or Alive game I got to play (4). Heh, lol boobies. Rest in cookie, Itagaki-san.

360 took some time to pick up, but it's easily one of the last great consoles. If you bought one on launch, you didn't have much to play aside from Tony Hawk's American Wasteland and Geometry Wars. Though you still had the blades interface for a couple of years, an interface I sorely miss.
 
Ah, the 360. The one time where Xbox might have actually had a claim to be the dominate system... and unheard of, near comedic prospect in modern times. Too bad mine only lasted like 2 years (if that) before red ringing and I didn't know there were big class action deals going on where I probably could have got it repaired for free because I was a dumb teenager.

You know what, fuck you Xbox. You get what you deserve! Gaben bouta wipe your barley living corpse off the map!
 
How did I get THIS old?!

I never thought it would happen.

I STILL remember the OG MW2&3 lobbies, kicking the shit out of Chaos Marines in Space Marine multiplayer, and Griffball in Halo 3.

I need a stiff drink.
