  • The year is 2023 and the Xbox 360 has been out for almost 18 years now... crazy to think about! So in this video, I decided to try playing some Xbox 360 online, and then took a look at all blades dashboard, NXE dashboard, and metro dashboard.

    I definitely don't think there's much time left on the Xbox 360, especially the marketplace - I can't imagine it'll be up longer than 2024. And with the issues I had playing online in this video, the games clearly aren't doing too much to support the online experience. There also can't be many Blades or NXE dashboard consoles left out in the wild. Sad times 😢

    I still use my Xbox 360 Elite, though the 120GB hard drive is clearly feeling its age. The biggest irritation for me has become the "excessive playtime" popup which happens whenever you start a game or get an update.

    My first home console was the N64, but the 360 is probably the first one I bought for myself. I got it to play Halo 3, so I did have blades dashboard for a while. It was really cool! Best dashboard, I'm still baffled that they got rid of it. I also had the Halo CE theme, it gave the guide blade a really cool dark blue textured background. I still have a 360 downstairs, I don't pay for gold anymore, but I use it for offline games sometimes.

      I think their pricing is fine. XB did a lot of work making games Backwards plus they aren't just one to one, they're upscaled and look great. Also to my surprise the BC titles ended up in my library on XB1X and now they even carried over to the series consoles. I look at allowing discs as an additional feature, more like if you have the disc then go for it. But honestly they need something in return on all the work they did, it's impressive and I don't feel cheated in any way. Although I would like my Afterburner Climax to carry over but that one is stuck on 360.

      They may not even shutdown the marketplace because they still sell Xbox 360 games on the Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S and those same games are the same as they are on the Xbox 360 itself so when you purchase a 360 game on the Xbox One or Xbox Series X/S you can download and play it on an original Xbox 360 as well. It's not like on PlayStation where any PS3 game you buy on PS4 or PS5 is only a remaster and can't be played on your original PS3.

    I have been using my 360 since 2008, never upgraded to the one. Bought my last dlc a month ago for mw3. It is beyond insane that they still charge $15 PER DLC! Youd think theyd start discounting 360 stuff now, nope. During the shutdowns i went out and bought all the games i never got a chance to play in my youth, i got over 100 games at min $3 a game max $20 a game now im set for the rest of my life lol

    My last good memories with the 360 were in the summer of 2013. I bought a used Elite console from my friend for 80 dollars after not having a 360 since 2011, and it really was the best investment I made at the time period. That summer I spent playing games I missed out on in that generation like Metal Gear Rising. Dark Souls, Ninja Gaiden 2 and Razors Edge, Bayonetta, Deus Ex HR, Fallout:NV, Ridge Racer 6, Dragon's Dogma, and some fighting games. But unfortunately the console bit the dust just days before the release of GTA V. So I opted to buy a PS3 Super Slim that holiday season instead of getting a PS4 just to play GTA, as well as rebuying all those games I played on the 360 barring exclusives. I bought a Series X last year to revisit a lot of 360 games and see how they do with next gen enhancements, but it's just not impressing me as it did on the 360.

      I bought my first 360 in 2019, and I played it all through the lockdown! I am usually very very late to buy new consoles - I did get the PS1 only 3 years after launch! Same with PS2. Back in those days the price came down more quickly. No way on Earth will I ever pay more than £100 for a console. Or more than £10 for a game. I am really cheap. ....

      I don’t expect the 360 servers themselves to shut down soon, but the marketplace and all associated features are clearly on their way out. And with fewer people playing 360 online and companies not supporting the online experience, most online 360 gaming will just fizzle out. I’m sure there are some games that still have a good online experience, but not the games I tried

An example of this is Halo 4 that because of backup playlists for when the main servers were down it makes the game still theoretically playable in 2023 (unlike the other halo games which didn't have this feature, atleast in matchmaking as customs still work).

    Xbox 360 was the first console in my families house, my cousin had an original XBOX and SNES so thats where we played anything early on. I remember seeing the blades UI and a trailer for halo 3 which BLEW my mind because all I ever played has halo CE (and jet set/forza), didnt even know 2 existed at all. The 360 era IMO was the last good era for gamers in terms of features, fun and ownership at a good price. Sadly it was also the beginning of the end as the scam tactics we have today popped up, as much as I loved halo and forza I noticed a lot of DLC which at times was just items we had in past games so it felt like I was being paygated for what I had before. Im glad my 360 still works and im still playing games on it, better than the modern xbox games we got now so I have no issues sticking with it.

    I noticed your Joe’s KC shirt. The best place to eat, hands down!

      Definitely a great spot. I don’t live anywhere close to Kansas though, so I’ve only been there once

    I got a couple of XBOX 360 with the original dashboard from eBay a little bit ago, I updated the three I had to the latest through thumbdrive tbough.

    You should look at some of the consoles that are discontinued. I still play them. The newest consoles at least need a break to play with.
