    2005 is when the Xbox 360 was released, so… yeah, I guess. Only problem is it didn’t get discontinued until 2016, similar issue with PS3. Like… GTA V has a 360 release, lol.

    Interestingly, the other generation 7 console is the Nintendo Wii. It discounted earlier and came with weaker graphics so it genuinely feels like a retro system now.

    So many senior citizens will be upset about this after their grandchildren explain this post.

    Lately I’ve been learning how to hack the 360 and it’s been delightful to go back and play games I didn’t get to pay as a teen. Turns out it’s stupidly easy to do, you can just drop the files on a flash drive and plug it in.

      We talking that BadUpdate thing where you gotta do it every time you wanna use it or did they finally find a persistent softmod technique?

        It’s bad avatar now, it’s functionally exactly the same but it auto launches on boot. I was under the impression it would be inferior to persistent mods, but in practice it’s only failed 1 time in two months and it normally boots faster than it takes me to get comfortable.

          Damn! I’m gonna have to look this up! If there’s no harm done to the system, I’m definitely trying this!

            Here’s a link to YouTube explaining it.

            Here’s a link to the console mods wiki for all the details and further mods.

            Here’s a link for if you’re on Linux and can’t her bad builder to work (like me) or just lazy (like me) where it’s all premade and ready, you just drag and drop it into the flash drive.

            Here’s a link to where you can get all the games you need. You aren’t limited to the approved list for original Xbox.

            Here’s a link to the software that turns them from ISO to Game On Demand (GOD) files so you can play them right off the console.

            You can also games from the flash drive to the internal HDD and even bump it up to a terabyte but I’m stiff figuring that out. Just don’t launch them while connected to Xbox live. As far as I can tell there’s no harm done during the process but connecting to live while hacked or trying to play games added with the hack can get you banned. Not that I expect anyone is still using live on a console two generations past.

            Have fun, be safe, don’t die!

    YES they are classics, that’s how fucking time works! The 360 was like 3 generations of consoles ago. Stop being surprised that things from 20 years ago aren’t considered hip and new anymore! Bet you’re starting to like the music they play at grocery stores. Bet it’s been a few years since anyone asked for your ID. Bet your knees sound like glow sticks when you bend them. You are getting old.

    Get over it.
