    On this day in 2012 my Xbox did a red ring of death. Thanks Facebook memories for reminding me of that.

      Editing … 3 times!?! What in the actual fuck? That would make it a 75% failiure rate for you. I'm glad I never gave Microsoft a 2nd chance. Once mine broke in the middle of my Lost Odyssey play through after it also engraved a circular scar on the disc I decided I just about had enough of their design strategy. Maybe one day I'll find a new model one.

      Editing … RROD is part of the reason I sold my 360 (and my nephew's) and basically never looked back at the Xbox brand until these past few months. My nephew's console is the one who actually got the RROD, but my console had its share of issues and actually damaged my Ridge Racer 6 disc. (heat damage, I suspect. It's surreal)

      Editing … What's interesting is that it's also the last time I paid for online, my experience with the 360 kind of led me to decide not to do that anymore. Even though Gears of Wars may have been the most fun I've had playing online, ever. Maybe I ought to give MS/Epic more credit for that. (Lately I've been looking at reviews/footage of the various Gears games, which took my mind back to my memories with the first game.)

    I've had 3 people message me to buy it and I've ignored them all. I think I want to finish my fable 3 game, and then play Vesperia, and a few of the other 360 games I haven't played since PS4 was released.

    Yeah fuck it, I'm deleting the listing. I'll sell it once I've had one last play.

    I got mine because it, and the games, were cheaper than a PS3. I made a mistake, the PS3 was better, and better value too. I had 3 RROD on me, and I still have my original fat PS3, false economy right there. The only thing the 360 had going for it over the PS3 was Fallout 3 worked almost flawlessly on it, on the PS3 it was so broken I couldn't play it through.

    Goodnight, sweet prince.

    "Xbox 360 means a lot to everyone in Microsoft. And while we’ve had an amazing run, the realities of manufacturing a product over a decade old are starting to creep up on us. Which is why we have made the decision to stop manufacturing new Xbox 360 consoles. We will continue to sell existing inventory of Xbox 360 consoles, with availability varying by country."

    The Xbox 360 is a really good multiplayer platform. The multiplayer games on this system easily beat the other platforms at the time as Halo 3 is still played a lot to this day even though a improved version is available on the xbox one. I prefer it to ps3 despite owning both due to the simple nature of how multiplayer with friends is generally more entertaining compared to how ps3's exclusives are generally single player experiences. My only problem with the system is the paid online which I hope will someday get abolished as I think gaming could do without online subscription just to play multiplayer which is free on pc and some other platforms.

    I finally figured put how to connect headphones to a Xbox 360, yay! The only downside to this is that the picture quality gets decreased slightly, but what do I care. After all, I'm just a filthy console peasant.

    Also, who do I have to harass on Twitter to get skate 4 on current gen consoles? Honest question.

    So, besides the Halos, Gears of War, racing games, Rare games and JRPGs with cliché plots, which games are worth buying on the X360 that are not available on the PS3 or PC? Need to buy moar games.

    The 360 may be my favorite console and all, but there are two things about it I find infuriating:
    1) it doesn't have an internal power supply &
    2) to my knowledge there's no way to connect wired headphones to the console or controller itself

      Editing … My gripes with the 360 are that the console's menus are full of adverts, the d-pad on the controller's rubbish and that after a really good start (Gears 1, Halo 3, Mass Effect 1) that got people to buy the console it was really weak on exclusives for the second half of the 7th gen.

      Editing … The problem is the lack of good exclusives. Since I can play every major game on PS3 or PC paying less, my X360 serves only to collect dust.
