I love how games just work and don’t need to download

When I was a little kid, my parents threw out our already old SNES and games because they were old. The next console we got was a Gamecube. It's not even ten feet from me, and it was purchased almost 20 years ago.

Don't throw out your old media, ever.

This must be what Don Mattrick truly meant when he said "We have a console for those people, it's called Xbox 360". What he was actually saying was "Our future games will suck, stay on the Xbox 360". All is forgiven Don. 😂

I literally got my old 360 out too! I got sick of these expensive new games that aren’t even finished on launch

FINALLY someone that UNDERSTANDS that we don't need our games to look real, but to take us out of reality!

Playing ps2 and 360 mainly atm. Absolutely having a blast.

The xbox 360 is one of the best consoles ever made. I recently fired up my Halo 4 edition 360 and my Sister gave me a black 360 slim she used to play. The number of games between the 2 hard-drives is enough for me to play for years to come!

[rookieracers]

7th gen is the best time in gaming imo, after trying everything I now only buy and play 360 and ps3, more that enough games on those to last myself a lifetime, I need nothing more.

[ktvx.]

7th gen was the peak for me, the point where graphics hit that HD sweetspot and made the last big jump in quality before diminishing returns, and the games were still focused on fun rather than microtransactions.

Imagine that: I purchased Sleeping Dogs more than a decade ago. I decided to see if it still worked.

Popped it on the 360 disk tray.

No server connection, no updates, and it worked just as I remember it.

The industry was always cornering itself. The more powerful the hardware the less variety in Aaa you get. Games were artistic in their own way, now it's just a movie experience with a pad in your hand.

My biggest regret in life is that I traded in my Xbox 360 and all my games when the Xbox one came out. I grew up poor and didn’t have the means to just buy the Xbox one outright so me and my brother scrapped together what we could and traded in the Xbox to cover the rest. It honestly wasn’t worth it. Years of game saves I’ll never get back.

There’s nothing new under the sun.

As time speeds forward, we’ll see how we lived in the golden age of video games and didn’t realize just how awesome it was until we were mid-aged.

Great video.

Dude- Truth!!
The extra cash outlay does NOT equal the “added” enjoyment. 5x more expensive isn’t 5x better. The $100 cost of a 360 and 20 of the best older games is MAJOR value. Maybe the longest stretch of fun and enjoyment you could get for the money! Plus, all of us know that when you’re immersed in fallout 3, you’re not constantly thinking, “this would be so much better in 4k HD!!” Nonsense.
Great video.

Makes complete sense to me. I went to GameStop the other day, planning to buy a used PS5, and then I saw a 3DS XL under 200 bucks in excellent shape. I said never mind, I'll take that.

Later that day, but put some custom firmware on that baby and now today I have more than $500 worth of games on that thing. Been having a blast with it, and I have zero regrets.

I recently "rediscovered" the Nintendo 3DS (I used to have one years ago, but I was really into PC RTS games at the time, so I barely touched it and sold it eventually) now with the console being Jailbroken I have a pocket sized system that could easily keep me entertained for the next 20 years with all of the games it can run/emulate, and the system and a 256GB micro sd card set me back a little over $100 USD.

I recently purchased a ps2, Xbox, and Xbox 360 and have been slowly building my library back. I never thought gaming could get this bad.

[Sasorizab]

I hooked up my 360 2 weeks ago to play all of the Call of Duty Modern Warfare campaigns.
Im having a blast, more then most of the modern games.
Its like what you're saying updates that are only a few megabytes instead of 20 gigabytes, no day 1 patches needed, no battle passes, no micro transactions just pure fun!

Subbed!

I recently found my old Xbox 360 and I am enjoying playing old games and playing games I didn't get a chance to play at the time.

Well said. Modern gaming has made me glad I am a retro gamer especially with the whole debate on not actually owning digital games or game developers removing content on your consoles without your knowledge or permission. I loved it when most of the games did not have to be downloaded just to play. I am still rocking my Sega Genesis and N64.
