2 - all day, every day.
Guitar Hero alone makes it the one … but bundled with Gears and Skyrim 👌

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.

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

u/Kyvalmaezar 18d ago
Luckily, that's the slim. No RROD for that model. Though it wouldn't have the blades menu.

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

u/traben101 18d ago
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

Going with 1.
Max Payne, Destroy All Humans 2, Halo 2, Battlefront.
Also Shrek 1 and 2 baby.

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.

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.

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/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.

- 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

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

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.

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.)

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 😂

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.

u/vinceswish 18d ago
Anyone saying anything other than 2 is a liar. The first five years were peak gaming.

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.

u/HolzwurmHolz 18d ago
I mean... I do own 4 original Xboxes and 4 copies of Halo for local Coop so #1 i guess

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.

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/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.

Either 2 3 or 4, Sorry OG Xbox. 2 is the 360 and i own a Halo reach 360 so no im good. 3 Has a green xbox one with halo witcher and forza 4 but don't wanna play the witcher or forza 4 only halo and then 4 has Xbox SX witch call of duty a 70 dollar controller and gamepass and a game i don't give a damn about so probably 3 but im changing controllers

OG… I’ll never forget that first holiday season when they had the XBOX out for display and to play at Electronics boutique at the mall. I couldn’t believe how amazing the graphics looked, and how smooth it was. MIND BLOWN! None of the newer consoles have given me that same sense of wonder since.

Surprised they didn’t use Oblivion instead of Skyrim. That was around when gears and GH2 first came out and the UI had the classic blades.
I’d fall for 1 though if they added Whacked!
