You can tell he was excited to play when instead of playing a game he was reading out the terms and conditions 🤣🤣

This man's got an old school video for every video game anniversary

nostalgia doesn't get any better than this

I can still remember exactly when I started the OG xbox for the first time - what a moment... My grandma bought me the Xbox at Easter 2002 (a few days after the official release in Europe). She was not a rich woman, but had saved away a part of her pension to fulfill this wish for me. Last year she passed away & I had to think of that moment again - thank you grandma, for everything ♥

Now being an adult I can fully appreciate that feeling you had as a kid being able to 100% immerse your self in the game and not feel any of the struggles you have as a grown up person today at all.

I remember the days, going to a video game store, getting a game, sitting in the car on the way back home, reading the manual cover to cover, pure anticipation. Reading the back thinking of all the cool things that this new game can do. Getting back, popping the disc in. Then playing for hours on end.

Such innocent times in gaming. This was possibly the greatest console generation.

Can we all just take a second and think about our parents who made these memories possible? Shout out to all the loving parents who made there kids dreams come true.

Being a adult and buying anything you want is awesome, but nothing beats opening up a console on your b day or Xmas that your parents bought. Tearing that gift wrap and seeing the corner logo of ps or Xbox, or whatever you prefer was the best feeling ever and I hope my kids who are toddlers at the moment get to experience in the future what I did.

I remember being able to download your music cd's and play them while you were playing a game. I thought this was the pinnacle of video gaming tech at the time

"Im going to spend five to six years of my life with this thing". Thats so true and crazy to think about how much we invest our time into games. Had some amazing experiences

I got my original XBOX in June of 2002 and I'm proud to say that after 21 years, 8 months, It still runs great and it still brings me joy to this day.

The memories! Nothing will ever change the feeling of getting onto LIVE and getting a unique gamertag, now you’ll be lucky to get anything at all.

[marcmcphee]

The graphics at the time absolutely blew my mind! I love taking trips down memory lane. ❤️🎮

Back when everything wasn't 'minimalist' and had some real punch and personality. Love it!

So many hours sunk into playing Halo 1 with my friends growing up. Literally playing until the sun came up. Then for my 13th bday in 2004 I got an Xbox with Xbox live and Halo 2. Changed my life. Experiencing Halo 2 multiplayer with Xbox live was such an amazing experience because it was all so new for everyone. I remember full lobby’s of everyone using the mic and trash talking. So much fun. Would give anything to go back to those days.

This was awesome. The early 2ks was truly a golden era of gaming.

You have to understand going from a ps1, n64 or dreamcast to this console was a MONSTER jump in graphics for people who didn't own a high spec pc at the time. I remember getting my original xbox with Halo, Sega GT, Jet Set Radio Future and Onimusha and I was completely blown away.

Then the xbox 360 came out and I spent literally 100s of hours playing Perfect Dark Zero not because I enjoyed the game, but because the reflection quality of the character models clothing made me feel like I was in the year 3000 😂

I want to re-live that moment. First game in the drive: Halo. Man, what a blast it was. I don't find pure joy like that anymore.

Year 90's to 2000 how I missed you. Earth never feel the same again after.
