I’ve never been a huge console gamer personally but did (and still do) enjoy the occasional couch gaming session. My first Xbox was a new 360 that I bought on “6 months no interest” from CNA about a year after its release, so in 2007 probably. I replaced that with the Xbox One that I currently have in 2016. For the amount of console gaming I do, it’s more than adequate. Of course I’d love a new Series X|S but I’m more than happy to wait another year or two even before thinking about that.
So, for how many of those 20 years have you been an Xboxer? What are some of your Xbox memories, standout games, and experiences?
I bought my first 360 in early 2007 from a friend of mine, one of his buddies bought it new but was leaving the country so he was selling it for 3k which was a steal. I got dead or alive 4 for free with it plus an additional controller, had the console for a few months then it rrod’d had a back and forth with incredible connection in tygervalley and Mi digital and eventually they swapped it out with the then newly released falcon console, i still have that console mind you, it was my primary gaming console had endless hours of gameplay eventually upgraded the hard drive from 20 gig to 120 gig and when i won the 360 slim on mygaming that became my primary console until i bought the xbox one x, i had/have a ps3 and wii but the xbox got the most gameplay by a longshot
