RetroGaming

I hate to break it to you but... It's been over 20 years. It's more retro now than the SNES was when the 360 came out.

It is over 20 years old......... Fuck.

The 360 was released in 2005. That's over 20 years ago. Yes, they would be considered classics at this point. And know what, I wish more folks younger than myself discovered how gaming WAS and realize what it's turned into.

Keep in mind the launch model of the 360 didn't have an HDMI port, most people still had a CRT, and it didn't even come with component cables, there was only a composite lead in the box, you had to pay extra for component cables if you wanted them.

I thought it was called the 360 because when you see it you turn 360 degrees and walk away.

It's 21 years old this year 😭

Take solace that old != obsolete.

I still play Just Cause 2, Fallout 3 and a bunch of 360 GOATs

Well, it's over 20 years old now, so probably. It's also really easy to softmod recently. Last year I got one for $25 at a thrift shop and modded it, so it's also a great time to get one.

So far, I only played Banjo Kazooie and Banjo Tooie on it though, and messed around a bit with the first release of Minecraft Xbox 360 Edition.

I'll only accept a console is retro if you can emulate it playably on a phone.

No way. Halo 3 trailer was just released no way it's been 20 years.

In my opinion, no. For me it's not about time, 360 for the most part plays just like any other present day console. Only difference is that development and marketing budgets went out of control (a trend that was already underway during later seventh generation), and the relentless stream of CoD, Halo and GTA clones stopped (THANK GOODNESS FOR THAT).

Amazing console that can be easily softmodded nowadays. mine has a 1tb hdd attached, with over 200 games (incl. ~1/3 from xbox classic). I've been using it more than the PS4 or Steam, until I modded my PS4 too recently

Bro, we’ve been out of high school about 20 years now. Soooo yeah.

Halo 3, Portal, and Super Mario Galaxy released closer to the launch of the Sega Genesis, the original Gameboy, and the fall of the Berlin Wall than today.

I still use my old wired 360 controller to play games on my laptop. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!

I need to re-cap my childhood Turbografx, so my toddler can experience some family Dungeon Explorer. She's the age I was when my parents bought it.

I still have an OG Wii. That thing is a BEAST, even today.

@The_Picard_Maneuver@piefed.world - How could you do this to us? We’re here for laughs, not cry.

I’m gonna hug all my retro consoles real close tonight.

I mean, if NES was retro in 2006, XBOX 360 can be retro in 2026.

~~though I have no idea what counts as classics on 360~~

The Xbox One is 12 years old. 🎁

I don’t find this hard to believe at all.

Tried to play halo 3 campaign for the first time a little while back.

It really felt aged, like an upgraded ps2 game essentially.

And this was the pc version mind you.
