    A good friend of mine who’s an avid Xbox 360 gamer since launch in 2005 always says this: if you want an Xbox 360 model that provides maximum reliability and the lowest chance of getting the RROD, avoid all early models from 2005 to 2007 at all costs, be careful about picking up the original models from 2008, 2009, and maybe early 2010, and go for the S models (2010-2013) or the E models (2013-2016).

    I still have my WiFi-less 360! And it still plays games! Although I had to buy the WiFi adapter to update the console in order to play some backward compatible OG XBOX games

    • @SuperNicktendo
      @SuperNicktendo  Před 7 měsíci +1

      I'm glad I tracked down that wifi-N adapter because I don't have a wired connection.

    I pick up every black Jasper Elite with a good appearance that i find in the wild. I love the og style, and it looks perfect standing beside my seriesX

    IIRC the XBLA Marketplace for the 360 will be shutting down in April, so if you want to download digital titles and DLC, you don't have much time.

    • @SuperNicktendo
      @SuperNicktendo  Před 7 měsíci

      yeah I mentioned it in the video - I'll be making sure it's the main focus in the next one. Shame because there's a lot of cool games that will be locked to the store.

    360 is a great system to collect for. Super affordable, especially in Europe because nobody cares about Xbox over here.

    • @SuperNicktendo
      @SuperNicktendo  Před 7 měsíci +3

      yeah I think might snag a couple more games for the 360 while the getting is good.

    Hi. I’m from the future.
    Everyone’s dead and Xbox 360s and games will never be this cheap again.

    Been playing Skyrim occasionally for years and didn't know I could yell to use shouts.. Slightly better than my rage of throwing the controller.
    In all honesty I picked up my Kinect for the Star Wars game. Those creepy parody songs got me on my feet.

      I like the kinect but i never have enough room for it

    Great info, but the Arcade models were called the “Core” models before the rename in 2007.

    Are you reading a script? I see eye movement 😂
    One of my favourite consoles, it would be nice to hook up an older model up to a CRT.

    • @SuperNicktendo
      @SuperNicktendo  Před 7 měsíci +1

      Yeah I use a script/teleprompter for all my videos. I changed the location of my camera so I'm a bit closer to it so the eye movement is a bit more obvious.
      Makes it infinity easier to edit

    Good stuff, Nick. Xbox 360 is still my favorite console.

    I bought a 250 GB Xbox 360 S last month. I was never planning on buying one until one day when I randomly thought to myself that I really should purchase games from the Xbox store before it shuts down next year. I'm very glad I did. Bought a lot of games that are still not playable on the new Xbox consoles, and there are plenty more that I'm going to purchase soon.

    Toshiba’s HDDVD had a tough road against the PS3’s built-in Blu-ray

    • @SuperNicktendo
      @SuperNicktendo  Před 7 měsíci

      yeah having a built in blu-ray was an advantage even if it took a bit for the price to come down.

    @Edmundostudios Před 5 měsíci +2

    Jasper models and the Kronos are probably the best ones to get still and are probably the most reliable. S and E are fine as well but the 4GB storage models seem to failing now so I’d avoid those

    My first one was an arcade that I eventually sold to a buddy, now I have a slim and an elite. Still one of my favorite systems ever. Funny enough the ones I see at thrift stores the most are the originals with no hdmi port. Thats a hard no from me every time

    • @SuperNicktendo
      @SuperNicktendo  Před 7 měsíci +1

      Yeah I wouldn't chance it either. I found a slim for $50 and it works like a charm!

    The Xbox 360 Is Definitely An All Time Great, Especially To Have In Your Collection. This Was An Awesome Follow-Up Of The OG Xbox With New Titles & Exclusives, Talk About A Game Changer. This Is One Of My Top Favorite Consoles Of Gen 6 That I Still Currently Play Till This Day. 👌🏾🤟🏾💯
