This whole documentary makes me appreciate Xbox so much more than i ever have.

Every day I’m thankful these guys created Xbox, it created so many memories and friendships with people I never met. I pray Xbox will be around even the day I’m an old man so I can one day look back my old achievements and friends list and remember all the good times. Video games were and always will be an important part of my life.

These are the types of documentaries that always stand out. The ones where you feel like you were there every step of the way. The ones that take memories of the mass public and fill in the gaps.

Excellent documentary charting the birth of an icon, also surprising and refreshingly honest about some of the attitudes, approaches, and mistakes at the time. Looking forward to seeing the rest!

It’s honestly pretty impressive how Microsoft was able to force itself into the gaming industry.

Kind of surreal seeing how much of their original ideas from the start are here now and stronger than ever in the present day. I guess we will see what happened that Don Mattrick changed the direction the way he did but....it seems clear as day now that Phil really did do his part(as did others) to get the current ship to align with the original. Can't wait to watch the rest of these.

I still remember the Christmas I received the first Xbox and truly was the beginning of my love for xbox and video games. Even through the red rings on the 360s and watching the first chapter made me even more appreciative of the role xbox payed in my life ! Congrats on the 20 years and thank you for the ride!

Genuinely I feel so lucky to have been growing up when XBOX360 hit the market for the first time. The first time I ever played online with other people it absolutely blew my mind. The first game I ever played online was Gears of War and that was only campaign. I remember talking to someone from the USA for the first time and he was "explaining" how xbox live worked to me. Granted I was 10-11 at the time so I was eating the experience up like chocolate cake
