What was the white and black buttons for? But i can't believe anyone could game with that fat controller, it was huge. The controller we know today is far better. But, the Xbox was great for it's time. 8gb hard drive, online gaming through Xbox live, many great exclusives and support. It stood well against the PS2 (not in sales so much) and proved that another company can do it. Microsoft proved they could be successful with the 360


20GB hard drive originally.

No, the Xbox never came with anything but an 8GB HDD. 

The Xbox 360 originally came with a 20GB in the Pro/Premium or none for the Core model.

Actually we're both wrong, it mainly used 10GB drives formatted as 8GB.

Little late, PS4 has all the buzz. Microsoft will basically have 1-2 weeks before E3 starts and allows Sony to derail that hype. Till now, Playstation brand has all the hype. They totally f***** the pooch on this one (IMO). When they announce, they can't be heavy Kinect focused, or always online focused or I really do believe, they will be done before they even come out. Even with their loyalties in the US, they should know when a new generation starts, this means almost nothing to people. People want to have what their friends have. And guess what, all my friends are talking about the PS4. And guess what, they want to buy it. And guess what, they are 360 gamers right now. Nearly all of them.

LOL, Thanks for posting this Nsanity.

How about during the Xbox revel, Someone start a live reactions thread?

 Don't think that will be necessary, during and after the reveal the entire internet will be buzzing with reactions.

Vgchartz included.

I can't wait, it will be fun.

You guys remember what happened all over the internet when Final Fantasy 13 was anounced for Xbox 360, LOL good times.

Is this the Controller S that Bill Gates is holding?

Yes it is. A sexy blue one I might add.

I can believe that.  HDD models typically last two years through their entire product lifecycle.

the original xbox is gaining classic status or the one that started it (social gaming, MP gaming, epic FPS on consoles americana) thanks to 360s success

one thing i cant help but notice especially from seeing this thread is the green and black color scheme of xbox matches one of the biggest games this gen and one that gave the xbox brand alot of successes this gen

I wasn't here then, can you fill me in?  Was it crazy? Were people like 'totally outraged?'



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned. 

Top 50 'most fun' game list coming soon!

 

Tell me a funny joke!

Yep there was outrage, and a whole bunch of other nonsense going on at the time.
