I love this comment! What a great older console to start on. Great back catalogue, actually having disks to pop in and play without hassle. I hope you love it! Let me know what games you start with!

360 also my first I'm almost 19

Man the 360 being called a retro console really make me feel old (I'm 23 yo). Even after all these years I still consider it (with the PS3) as some very capable systems. The graphics or gameplay haven't changed that much on current gen (PS5 and Series X) compared to what the 360 and PS3 can do at 720P.

Thanks for the cool comment Benji. I think the term 'retro' is much broader these days, more linked to nostalgia than a certain decade. But with the 360 20 years old in a couple of years, and the second generation of four (since 2020) I think it certainly can be considered to be around there. That aside I love it as a console as it seems to hit that sweet slow of still being capable without the hassle that comes with many modern gen consoles.

@@bigsof7381 Yes, but the vast mojority of games do render internally at 720p or a bit less, and then the console upscales that to 1080p.

I miss when this was first released in 2010 such a good time

Halo 3 and Xbox live. Take me back!

The Slim was definetly an improvment over the original XBOX 360 console. It was a lot quiter and didn't have the missfortune of getting a Red Ring of Death. Plus the design of the 360 Slim model is just nice. Altough I wanted this model myself years ago, I had to decline it since paying extra money for online and having double A batteries for the controller was kind of a turn off for me. I know a lot of people grew up with the 360, but I didn't unfortenatly. I do have PS3, which to me was a good investment, altought I bought a PS3 during PS4's launch.

Hey thanks so much for adding your thoughts on the 360! The design is definitely nice, I have a Matt black one which looks great - I also think all the special editions like Halo consoles were done well too. I find the 360 hits the sweet spot for me at the moment and I’ve just finished replaying the Gears of War Trilogy. I also have PS3 amongst my other consoles.

@@retro_restorations I think the 360 was more popular due to it's online community, while PS3 was more popular with it's single player games.

I thought the same thing. I just picked up one of those today for £39.99 and it was so refreshing to put in the disc and see the game load up straight away. Tested out the first 3 gears of war games, Alan wake and dead rising 2 which I also bought to test the console. I’m playing on a 24 inch monitor so it still looks pretty crisp but I really like being able to play my games straight away. My one x takes way too long with the mandatory updates I have to use after buying a physical game or downloading digital games from the store.

It’s caused by flex of the board and the chip. That’s why back in the day people used to try screwing the bars down but it was a terrible idea. Short term solution is stripping the console down and trying to re-flow the solder with heat. Linger solution is reballing the chip but is not time or cost effective at the 360 is so cheap these days.
