1 Hour of Xbox 360 Facts to Sleep to

[@deputyvanhalen6280]

The 360 generation, particularly the early years of it, were such of a fun time. I had a closely-knit group that I played with almost every day. Over time, some of us moved on to playing mostly on other platforms, and others got busy with life and mostly stopped gaming altogether and lost touch. I do kinda miss those days.

[@thepocketmonsterfamily2007]

Everytime I want to play a game it requires an update.

[@AlienFan25]

Yep. I somehow hope games could relive that. But the only thing that's close. Is indie games. But I'm happy I got to experience it. Maybe I'll get proven wrong some day.

[@NormalCleanCars]

all my friends had a 360.. my parents got me the ps3 lol..

[@lukewardcookie7915]

360 facts got me snoozing through 360° of the Earth's rotation. Good stuff!

the halo 3 days ill cherish forever

[@SynthTCG]

The Xbox 360 era truly was the pinnacle of gaming. Microsoft points, party chat, Halo 3 custom games, MW2 modded lobbies. The memories are endless.

[@fullmetalbleachnote]

The nostalgia is nice and all. But the 360 brought the birth of microtransactions. That and the red rings of death are unforgivable black marks on the consoles legacy. I will never look at Gen 7 as the pinnacle of gaming.

[@smokagaming]

@@fullmetalbleachnote Idk bro. Idk if xbox parties/chats are still a thing anymore, but to hop online with one friend, just to meet up to 6-7 newer people in a chat room you could make at a moments notice was an AMAZING feature that was genius for xbox to throw in/ Like @SynthTCG said, 10/10 nostalgia points for me

[@fullmetalbleachnote]

@smokagaming it's nostalgic for me as well But I'm even more fond of the generation before when I bought the game and got the entire product with no catches. I didn't have to be online to play the damn thing The game had to run well and be super polished because there were no patches Skins used to be an unlock you earned, not over $20 each for anything worthwhile. The games also couldn't release with barely any content with the promise of free updates later as long as the game makes money first. I really like the social aspect of online gaming early on but online gaming's final form is battle passes, 20 dollar skins and barebones launches. I look at the PS3/360 as the beginning of the end. DLC ruined this industry lmao.

[@Moli05]

​@@fullmetalbleachnotewhat's wrong with battle passes? For paid games then yeah, it's wrong. But for free to play games who cares, you don't have to buy the skins, they're optional. Thanks to dlc we have the episodes of half life 2, red dead zombies or the expansions of GTA 4. A lot of new games use it as well and it's a great thing to expand the content of a game that you already own for cheap

[@THICCTHICCTHICC]

It was the shit. It also was shit, but after the S model it became *_the_* shit.

@@Draliseth’ve been revisiting my Xbox 360 catalog with a recently purchased brand new in the box controller, needless to say it’s 2006 again and I’m enjoying some absolute bangers.

Starting the video with the Mass Effect OST was the best decision you could've made.

I agree. It fit the 360 so well.

Xbox 360 has one of favourite controllers ever

[@raygrenade1697]

Might be the best controller of all time

[@MegaDrain]

I still prefer the 360 controller for pc gaming over the xbox one/series controllers. It just feels way more comfortable.

[@frado9194]

Honestly i don’t like how big the sticks are. On the S they made the sticks smaller which is just a nicer less chunky feel Imo

23:36 Jeremy Soule’s work for Skyrim was phenomenal. I have many issues with Skyrim but there hasn’t been many RPGs to have soundtracks as iconic and beautifully composed as Skyrim. I will never NOT sit through the first few minutes of the main menu to listen to that theme.

[@hailsobek279]

Looking back onto the 360 era is strange, just from it being around for the entire teenage years of my life so it's so inextricably linked with it. It's a bizarre feeling.

[@voidx6782]

Kinda feel the same, feels like those days are still fresh, but actually was almost 18 years since the Xbox 360 release. The same goes to the Playstation 2 years.

[@SDNotKing]

The 360 had some of the best games that allowed us to have timeless memories with friends and family. Id love to go back and experience it all again.

[@mr.s7522]

An era come and gone, so many lightning in a bottle games. Bioshock, Halo, Gears of War, Dragons Dogma, Crackdown and some solid sequels too.

[@SteadyTeddy]

The Gears of War commercial is legendary. It really hit hard when they used the Mad World instrumental during that one moment in the Gears of War 3 campaign. Brothers to the end.

[@AuroraSuperstellar]

This video held more nostalgia for me than I realized. I spent countless hours playing Halo 3 online with my few friends and with strangers alike. I was too invested to fully fall asleep, but afterwards my mind was at ease for the first time in a long while.

[@jordandeanda6244]

I spent 100s of hours online on banjo kazooie nuts and bolts build vehicles with friends. Literally one of the best experiences I had on 360, i wish the took the opportunity to add bigger maps back then but all the vehicles you can make like lego was such a fun time

[@ImTheMan0fSteel]

@@generalofg3377 none of you played it. You all are just copying popular video opinions by content creators like jon tron lol. It literally reviewed well. It was not a poorly received game in the slightest beyond elitist purist basement dwellers.

[@Arcona]

Even after that it's just a bunch of games that happen to be on Xbox 360, along with PS3 and PC. At least Gears of War was an Xbox 360 game. Though it did come to PC a year later. Same with Mass effect, though that also came to PS3 later too. So.. yeah, this should have really had Xbox 360 exclusives.

[@Tabletop_Epics]

The original Xbox was the first video game console I earned with a job. Prior to that my family received a 2600, an NES, and an SNES as gifts during Christmas. The 360 was my primary console just prior to and after I got married. It was there to provide escape while I was working an awful bank call center job. Halo, Skyrim, Miner Dig Deep, and many other titles really saved my sanity. I miss the 360 days. So much happened with that console back then.

[@ewegenia]

this channel is great for long shifts at work where I desperately *want* to fall asleep but am kept awake by my desire to relive childhood with Halo and Sonic-these videos get me through retail, and I can never thank y'all enough for that

[@WillDangerio]

Halo 3 is one of those games that gives me nostalgia like no other; its general aesthetic takes me right back to where I was when I first played it. I love learning about the 360, I think it’s Xbox’s greatest system for sure.

[@cMARVEL360]

I remember being Floored by the Graphics & Lighting. I still remember seeing 1,000,000 players on the Player Count when coming home from the Midnight Launch, and I still remember how blown away I was when I loaded up SandTrap. Just how massive the map is and how detailed the grains of sand was. It's still an Amazing game on Series X

[@Distant_Dubstep]

Despite having multiple Xbox 360s throughout the console's life span I never once had a red ring of death b the cause of the replacement. I knew plenty of ppl who had but I only ever had issues with discs getting stuck in the console and non hardware related problems.

[@Vashkey]

I bought a used one during the summer of 07. I got the rrod of death four times but three of those times they fixed it for free. By the time it happened the fourth time the S revision was out and I wasn't too bothered getting that

[@tylerheerdt6438]

Got my 360 for Christmas in 2011 with Skyrim. It served me faithfully til it red ringed in 2022. Kept a small piece of it before I threw the rest out.

More recent game facts please. Love all your videos, but you’ve just opened my eyes to newer generations of gaming facts and now I can’t get enough

[@Zudyman]

The 360 was the most important system to me that I never owned. It was so ubiquitous that everyone I knew at the time, when I was in college, had a 360. Between playing Rock Band at friends house or sneaking in Meat Boy and Oblivion time on my roomate's system, it's crazy to think back on how much nostalgia I have for a console that I never purchased. I bought a Series S recently and have been slowly purchasing some of the games from that generation that I was always interested in like Lost Odyssey and the Arkham games.

[@lonelypatios]

me!! my parents never bought me a 360 until abt 3 years prior to the ps4 and xbox one coming out but all those years i was playing split screen on friends’ consoles. It really is crazy how much nostalgia I have for the 360 even tho i only owned one for the latter years of its life cycle

[@BillB808]

[@Hyper445]

Nothing in my life will top the 360 era! I love seeing these facts.

[@Bubblejunk]

Hunting gamerscore was real enjoyable in lot of the games. Then some games had non 5/0 ending of points and causing you to being stuck at number ending 4 or 9 as example. Luckily getting the counterpart achievement way later (like a year) in multiplayer game making it back to 0/5 ending number

[@sickSNIPE316]

Gen 4-7 were all absolutely incredible, and I think it's easy to argue that 7 was best of all. Amazing how quickly quality fell with Gen 8. I'd also argue that 360 was the best of the generation, therefore 360 is the best of all time. Can't argue with math.

[@joshuazelasko]

The 360 was one of my favorite consoles. Brought all my friends together before and all throughout college. Such a great console generation.

The music and the consistent voice lines make this the best way to rest. Great background video but also really interesting facts!

I think one of my favorite factoids about the kinect was Konami's Dance Evolution actually used a kinect on the arcade cabinet. While the game has long since reached its end, a spiritual successor called Dance Around soon debuted in arcades, using new cameras that actually tracked players' movements worse than the kinect on Dance Evolution cabinets

I didn't know that the "red ring of death" was so common 👀. I would never have expected it because we used to play on an Xbox 360 at a friend's house and that thing seemed to be immortal. We played for hours on end many days and it just kept going. It's such a legendary console honestly.

[@thedullfork]

52:26 Do they ever get into whether Salarians actually did abduct humans way before the events of Mass Effect or was that concept simply just used to come up with the design?

Another Fun Fact: Red Ring of Death meant all four lights in the circle light up red ⭕️ When you had only 3 lights showing red, it meant your power block was bad. A very easy fix that cost a lot of folks their Xbox.
