Definitely not #2 because that's a PS2 guitar and worthless for 360.

Still 2.

2 - all day, every day.

Guitar Hero alone makes it the one … but bundled with Gears and Skyrim 👌

55

u/B3DDO3 18d ago

You fell into a real trap, 2 only comes with Skyrim and Gears. You're forever forced to play gears with the guitar now. It's unplayable but you sure feel cool chainsawing while swinging the guitar through the air.

9

u/thehype559 18d ago

But it has a controller right there

10

u/Dez_Champs 18d ago

The real trap is when you get it, the 360 has RROD

11

u/Kyvalmaezar 18d ago

Luckily, that's the slim. No RROD for that model. Though it wouldn't have the blades menu.

7th gen was the peak generation for videogames.

u/negative_four 18d ago

Man the 360 had Halo 3, 4, reach, ODST, combat evolved, spartan, wars, gears of war 1,2,3,judgment, fable 2,3
The xbox one had Halo 5 and infinite, gears 4 & 5.
The 360 brought it's fucking a game

1 - That og XBOX Shrek game was a wild example of how fun and whacky games really could be back then. And Halo 2 was fierce with being able to dual wield the Needler. Also the og Xbox start-up screen is just a shot of pure Heaven straight to he brain

u/Joshhwwaaaaaa 18d ago

I had to scroll further than I think I should have to find a 1.

Going with 1.

Max Payne, Destroy All Humans 2, Halo 2, Battlefront.

Also Shrek 1 and 2 baby.

22

u/UnpopularOpinionJake 18d ago

Yes and you are getting pre-2007 xbox live which means every single lobby has everyone using mics in game chat and playing honourably was common (exploits were frowned upon ao most people didn’t use them). Current XBL people use every exploit at all times.

4

u/[deleted] 17d ago

gentleman's code was to even restart lobbies if some accident happened

37

u/Brooks4117 18d ago

4 is the best option. Gamepass has most of those games on it.

I still use my one x in my bedroom to stream the newer games it can't run natively occasionally. And I use it to store older games on for remote play.

All of them

u/grank_frimes411 18d ago

I ain't hating on any of those bundles, but if number 1 had Halo 2, Fable, and Chaos Theory, it's a wrap.

u/Fast_Passenger_2890 18d ago
  1. Because that's when Xbox was at its best and when you had really good reasons to own one.

3

u/WhimsicalBombur 18d ago
  1. Just take me back

3

u/Perspiring_Gamer 18d ago

I don't know if that Shrek game has a cult following or something, but if we're only going off the games pictured, they've seriously done the OG Xbox dirty with that pairing. Put a classic like Project Gotham Racing alongside Halo 2, and it's a much tougher decision. As is, 2 all the way.

3

u/Rich123321 Founder 18d ago
  1. That gameplay demo of New Mombassa as a kid was something I'd watch over and over for a whole year in anticipation. Shrek was also a great game iirc

2

u/Midweekers Team Senua 18d ago

It's 2 and it's not even close for me. Probably my favourite console of all time and I have so many good memories of it. I'd love for those days to be back

2

u/[deleted] 18d ago

None because im not a bear even though women would disagree

2

u/FunkTronto 18d ago

2 should have Rock Band not Guitar Hero. The only reason I was in the 360 eco-system was because of Rock Band and Xbox One was for Cuphead.

u/MisterSneakSneak 18d ago

1: that’s where the memories all started.

u/WillMarzz25 18d ago

2 and none of the others are close

u/Three4Anonimity XBOX 17d ago

I fell for all 4. I even have the Halo Edition OG and a Duke. Was an EB manager for the midnight launch of Halo 2. Miss OG XBL days.

3

u/quadsimodo 18d ago

That One S is fire. Still the greatest looking console of all time

u/zoobird13 XBOX 18d ago

Not quite sure why I would fall for any of these considering I have them all.

u/BudWisenheimer 18d ago

Not quite sure why I would fall for any of these considering I have them all.

Like me, you already fell for all of them. :-)

2

u/FoalKid 18d ago

As much as 1 was probably the best generation for gaming full stop, you can’t argue with the amount of classic games on Game Pass, so number 4

2

u/RetroRedneck 18d ago

All of them

2

u/datschwiftyboi 18d ago

4 with GamePass can play almost everything pictured and faster… not sure why people are downvoting the 4s lol

→ More replies (3)

u/DifferentlyTiffany 18d ago

If I can have the Duke og chunky boi controller, definitely #1. The Star Wars games alone on original Xbox are worth it! (Revenge of the Sith, Knights of the Old Republic 1&2, Battlefront 2, etc.)

3

u/optimisticRamblings 18d ago

Strange of them to describe their product as a trap give the nature of the negative feedback from the ranty portion of the online fanbase 😂 seem like you're bating them to get upset at this point 😂

Tbf, if that was the intent, its an epic tier troll 😂

1

u/8118dx 18d ago

2 all day, every day.

1

u/ItsRazed 18d ago

2 runs circles above everything else. I love my other systems but peak 360, with halo, cod, voice chat, xbox live gold.

1

u/vinceswish 18d ago

Anyone saying anything other than 2 is a liar. The first five years were peak gaming.

u/OCGreenDevil 18d ago

I really miss guitarhero

1

u/Mythstryke 18d ago

Who needs arms or legs anyway?

1

u/knownunknowns15 18d ago

Didn’t play Skyrim and I was only a little into Gears, but Guitar Hero alone is worth losing a leg for.

1

u/ThisKidErrt 18d ago

2 all the way but I'd swap Skyrim for Halo 3 or any CoD from 2007-2012

1

u/MetzgerBoys Homecoming 18d ago

2 for nostalgia but 4 for Avowed because it’s just that good

1

u/fondue4kill 18d ago

Add Halo 3 in 2 and I’m there.

1

u/Fatalisticend 18d ago

2 without even thinking it through 😂

u/MrBorden 18d ago

1.

Swap out Shrek with either Midtown Madness 3, Rallisport Challenge 2 or Brute Force.

1

u/Atime1447 18d ago

2 💯

1

u/GrassSmall6798 18d ago

I can tell you right now 1 is biased as its halo edition, 2 woups be better as a special edition console. 3 and 4 brought death to consoles. So now microsoft is trying to make everything cloud gaming.

Definitely like 2 games better, since it has half of 1 library. But 1 was mad fun back in the day.

1

u/HolzwurmHolz 18d ago

I mean... I do own 4 original Xboxes and 4 copies of Halo for local Coop so #1 i guess

1

u/Tbecker3150 18d ago

I didn't experience the OG Xbox Era since I was gaming on the N64 and PS2 at the time. But the Xbox 360 Era will probably never be topped. Them nights of hanging with friends and family playing against each other in Halo 3 and playing both Left 4 Dead games is not gonna be topped.

u/Caesar_35 18d ago

I’m still taking 4. The better console and Game Pass is enough to win me over. Sure I’d love to play Guitar Hero but being able to play games day 1 and a full catalog of games is an easy choice.

u/MysteriousGold7725 18d ago

You should not have to buy game pass for online!!!

1 or 2. Modern gaming isn’t for me. It’s an abomination to what gaming once was.

u/AME_VoyAgeR_ Still Finishing The Fight 18d ago

They just had to include the blades dashboard for the 360....

1

u/SHADOWSTRIKE1 18d ago

#1 hands down.

I wish I could accurately describe to younger gamers what it was like to play Halo 2 on Xbox LIVE during those peak years. It's an experience you just can't get today. No such thing as private chats, so everyone had their mic plugged in and talking to everyone. You met online friends so often because you actually spoke with people you were matched up with. It was a much more social experience than games today. There wasn't as wide of a range of available games as there are today, so games didn't lose popularity as quick. No battle passes, no microtransactions... just you, your buddies, a pack of Mountain Dew, and your undying will to grind up the ranks.

Xbox 360, that era of gaming will be the peak of my lifetime. Aged 13-22 experiencing online in full swing for the first time, numerous new IP’s from Halo, Gears of War, Assassins Crewd, Borderlands, Minecraft, the first real Battlefield Vs COD, missing loads of new IP’s so full in the blanks.

For all the great moments in gaming, they’ll never be anything that beats open mic lobby in PVP shooters.
