Cheers man, pretty much the same.... primary xbox console user from march 2007 to september 2018........ but gears and halo aside (i will just buy a 1-3 months gold card when it's time to play those two games, then drop gold again like a bad habit) my xbox days are over. |
As it often does, my lazy posting style has failed to get my message across. :) What I mean is, 11 years+change have passed since I owned an X-Box. I had an original X-Box at launch window, and a 360, which I sold in April 2007.

Wow. I didn't know you used to be an Xbox fan. What made you quit? |
Yeah. My last account was COKTOE 360, because COKTOE was wiped when I didn't renew XBL for....A year? A big issue was an inability to buy a 360 controller that didn't have analogue stick "drift". That was driving me nuts. I can't remember the exact number of controllers I returned/exchanged to the EB I frequented, and it's very kind managers, but it was an unreasonable amount, and the issue persisted for several weeks, ultimately never getting resolved. As this was going on, I somehow lost all my save data for Oblivion ( 400 hours! ), and Marvel Ultimate Alliance. That pissed me off pretty good. RROD was also a thing at the time. Never dealt with it, but what I knew of it helped a bit to erode my confidence in the platform. Those controllers though...I was getting angry almost every time I played a game. Paying money to get pissed off is a poor value proposition.
