Xbox is 10 Years old today, A pretty impressive feat. And on the same note, Master Chief and Halo are also 10 years old today. Think i shall go back to playing Halo CE Anniversary. Sam
And to think I said the Xbox would never take off and Microsoft would struggle to crack the console market in the face of Nintendo and Sony domination. I like being proven wrong. I really do need to replace my Xbox. Halo CE Anniversary is really tempting. Funds are just a bit tight atm and as I have a small Bluray collection I can't just trade in the PS3 without rendering half my media unplayable. Happy birthday Xbox. Long may it continue.
That's quite a scary thought, those last 10 years have gone by so quickly. It doesn't feel that long ago when the original XBOX was released! I don't think I want to remember when the first PS came out, that would be an even scarier thought. Anyway, a good day for gaming!
Yeah, here's hoping the next batch of consoles come out soon. I'm primarily a PC gamer but I still enjoy playing on my consoles. To be honest though they are starting to struggle power-wise in my opinion.
Only if you're playing on the original xbox. It feels like I've had an xbox forever, I got mine near the end of 2002 I think when it came free with JSRF and Sega GT 2002 and along with Halo and Splinter Cell as well. I absolutely loved it. I still have most of the games I bought too. My old xbox is still going strong, unfortunately I'm on my third 360. My original one was a Premium, which I exchanged for an Elite when I thought it might bite the dust soon, but my Elite packed in after just over a year and I had to replace it. I would like one of the nice new 250Gb ones but I can't really justify it when it's still going strong.
Pffft only your third. 8th here if you include my new S model.... If you after a S model get the 4GB model and drop your current HD into it. Presto a S model with all your data intact and £50 saved (plus IMO it looks better being matt black instead of shiny black).
2nd, an old noisy original [which still works aside from the odd stutter and freeze] and my current elite... Red Rings are for other people...
Yeah I've still got my SNES, and a Commodore 64. That was the first computer we had, seeing as I wasn't born when it was released I guess my family weren't really on the bleeding edge of tech back in the day. I very much enjoyed my xbox. Unfortunately my family getting with the times with the home computer didn't improve and it we never had a particularly good PC. I think only about 5 years ago did I get one with a 3D graphics card. That meant that I had to do most of my gaming on consoles. I got the Xbox on almost a whim I think, but I'm glad I did, I had the SNES in that generation but after that I moved to Sony and had the PS1 and 2. As soon as I first got the Xbox it took pride of place as my console of choice. The 360 is still my gaming platform of choice at the moment.
Me and my mates occasionally break out super bomberman and the multitap when we're drunk. Power zone, see how quickly all 4 of you suicide.
I have to admit i am on my 3rd 360 having bought one on day 1 when ever it was released, I've gone through 2 Premiums and now i'm on an Elite. I loved the original xbox because it had the good old Need For Speed, so i was disappointed they never got it working on 360. Still, Lets hope the new xbox (3/720?) will help cement Microsoft further, which in turn keeps Sony and Nintendo going too. Sam
I loved my original xbox, that is what got me into modding. Ripping it apart, putting in windows and loads of led's and led fans.
