Who else spent hundreds of hours playing game demos on the Xbox 360? 😂 🖐️

me on my old 360 i still have blades dashboard aswell and i used to play demos all the time

[@qrowing]

Man I loved the old Blades design of the dashboard. My favorite bit, personally, being the "Open Tray" button on the homepage at 4:18. Something about it is just so late 2000s and stylish. I'd love to see a console with that *super temporary* Blue version of the Xbox Guide they were using for a bit there. Around 2007/2008 I believe, since Halo 3 was still all the rage.

[@hinglemccringleberry9389]

"late 2000's"? you mean mid 2000's

[@YoungMrBlue]

I just love the fact that it’s so colorful And the sounds *oh the sounds…*

[@Eeveethegamer26]

The Xbox 360/PS3 Era were the best times for gaming imo. Games had a lot more passion put into them it felt like.

[@Rebnobfulroar]

I feel like both PS2/Xbox & PS3/360 eras were the best. So much experimentation with games back then and there really was something for everyone

[@Geert890]

The big difference is that back then better game meant more money for publishers, now microtransactions and addictive design make money

[@guitaristshawn]

The Blades dashboard has to be one of the most nostalgic things to me.

I remember the blades dashboard. I really wish that had been left in as an 'alternate option' selectable from a menu somewhere, tbh. It always felt faster to navigate for me, personally.

[@adultmoshifan87]

As happy as I am with the last dashboard they released for the 360, I can't deny that the Blades dashboard is SO good! I question why Sony gave the PS3 PlayStation Store that slow clunky redesign when the 2008 design was so good!

[@KevinsHope]

I really like these videos where you buy these bulk sets of consoles. There is this "treasure chest" feeling of checking out former player's profiles and seeing what former owners were doing/playing. I love this. It's a weird fascination, but the dopamine rush is real. You need to do A LOT more of these kinds of videos.

[@LazyGuy505]

LOL he was like “it’s bound to get red ring of death one day but look at this blade dash though!!” 😂

[@adultmoshifan87]

If PS3 emulation can get as good as it has, hopefully 360 emulation will evolve to an extent where we can all re-enjoy the Blades dash!

[@Travisdud]

Ps3 emulator still sucks. Most games are unplayable. Ps2 emulator 90 plus is finishable games

[@RyneMcKinney]

I still can't believe Sonic 06 was played on the first one

[@FuzzBucket69]

takes me back. I never needed the memory unit I had the xbox 360 "elite". I did have to send it in 4 times from red rings until they finally just stopped "repairing it" . Good times.

[@jrob0021]

Sheesh 4 times? You’d think they’d just give you a new one after once or twice lol

[@droksbeel]

We had a xenon that keeps trucking to this day. And i have a 2011 serviced xenon that i love.

[@adultmoshifan87]

When my Jasper 360 RRODed in 2016, my Mom just declared "We'll get you an Xbox One", ignorant that it isn't a 100% 360 replacement! I got an Xbox 360 E shortly into 2017. My Mom doesn't get classic tech the way I do.

[@droksbeel]

@@adultmoshifan87 you must have gotten the e74 error. I have several jaspers that run flawlessly. I found zephyrs to be the most fussy/cranky consoles imo

[@FuzzBucket69]

@@adultmoshifan87 Sure that "one" would play most of your 360 games, but the interface and the whole experience would be lost to time. I love the xbox 360 so much just for that. It was a hell of a time for gaming. I'm glad you were able to get another!

[@Flegz1]

Now you have the Xbox 1080 in background. Can't wait to see the Xbox 1440!

[@deadmetalbr]

I'll take the blades over any other Xbox UI, every time. Regular Xbox has too much personality, nothing after NXE has enough. As it happens, I only ever used the blades UI on a CRT. By the time I got my first HDTV set in 2008, NXE was already out and I was rocking the Battlestar Galactica theme. I had a memory card, used it to bring my profile with me to friends' houses, it was nominally easier than redownloading it.

[@lukchem]

You say that you’re fine but you’re not really fine.

[@CustomGames-wg9gv]

The first 360 I got was the red RE5 one with the Jasper. I waited for all the red ring BS to be done with and I really wanted to play RE5 (which was included). I only wish it had some type of RE graphics or face plate, but the red looks cool.

[@jrob0021]

Yeah kinda odd that there aren’t any RE graphics on it. Definitely a nice color though

[@wewdsocket]

@@jrob0021 Hey Jacob! :D

[@UltimateInkling]

I remember playing alot of demos from the 360 mostly sonic tranformed, i freaking love that game and i really wanted the full game but couldn't afford it.

[@jrob0021]

[@m.infernal]

That 360 find in box is unreal man. Great find

[@michelangelo5903]

the 360 UI is so much better then the new xbox UI. i still haven’t adapted! the 360 minutes were so simple and easy to fine and navigate - when i got my first xbox360 it had the dark/ navy blue menus!

[@mrmarvelus1]

I had an Memory Unit back in the day. But hardly ever used it

[@jrob0021]

One of the few! Haha

[@taylorwillis5556]

I had 2 of those memory cards, they were great for bringing your save games to a friends house. I think a lot of people just used flash drives because they were bigger capacity and cheaper; but my grandma bought me a 2 pack of those memory cards for Christmas.

[@CrashFan03]

17:08 the thing is that most of those games are trial versions/demos (hence the half controller symbol), meaning you won't see any proof of them playing it since you can't unlock achievements in trials

Ah, seeing the black and red consoles brung me back.. I owned an elite console, the black one, which was stolen in a move when i was younger. Then someone in the same complex that we moved to gave me his old Resident Evil xbox, to which the disc reader kept giving out, but it hard carried me through the rougher times of my childhood. Wish I could relive those countless hours of never getting bored of MW2.

[@northwestclasspnw7974]

I still remember navigating blades to party chat and send messages in MW2. The time I'll never get back, and I'm so glad my childhood was S tier gaming

[@randybobandy9828]

That never happened. They got rid of the blades dashboard in 2008 an entire year before MW2 released.

[@patrickholt8782]

Everyone hooks an Xbox 360 up to a flat screen nowadays but I know how it was back then. Your mom got you a tube tv on clearance and you liked it!

[@bryanobrien2726]

It's so weird that the first one has a memory card with it . I've never seen one in person .

[@YoDzOnHalo]

They were around a lot at launch. You could take those memory cards and take ‘em to like GameStop 360 kiosk where you can download demos, gamer pics etc. thought it was a cool idea. I got my demo of geometry wars that way

At 4:34, you can see that the dashboard is pretty old because there is no 'Marketplace' option.

[@MR.Peanut2]

I got an original Xbox, I really want to get a 360 so I can play the old dvds in more “modern” systems

I just noticed the first console you tested was on the VERY FIRST blades dashboard because the marketplace tab/blade wasn’t showing up unless if it just doesn’t show up when you aren’t signed in but i don’t know

[@musician_1008]

My first ever console was the mlg edition 360, and I got it for my like 4th birthday… it’s still in my room, and works perfectly. I remember spending countless hours with my grandparents playing disney infinity 3.0 years ago… I am now 15… It is cool to have three generations of consoles in my room… (Xbox 360, Xbox 1, PS4, PS5, and Nintendo Switch) I was lucky to have the newer console variant that bypassed the red ring of death era…

[@flamespear86]

Those memory cards were used in the early days. It was the only way to transfer your gamer profile and earn achievements when visiting someone offline.

[@qrowing]

Ah, so *that's* what they were. I have a vague memory of unboxing mine, and never using it. Completely forgot they even existed!

[@CombineOverwatchUnit]

5:13 that early blades dashboard without the marketplace is the rarest Xbox 360 dashboard alongside the OG XBOX dashboard without Xbox Live. This also implies that whoever owned this console hasn't played it since 2006. I hope whoever won this console hasn't updated the EXTREMELY RARE dashboard.

[@rx7jms]

I never grew up playing any sort of console, but I'm interested in buying a xbox 360. Which one would yall recommend for me to buy?

[@Pitchblackplays]

The Xbox 360 S or E model. People don't like the E but I have one and I actually like it.

[@droksbeel]

If you like phats. Jasper v1s and v2s are the most reliable.

[@jrob0021]

I’d agree about getting an S or E since they are typically most reliable

[@AlexanderDiviFilius]

The blades dashboard was great. Faster than the NXE, and considerably faster than the Metro UI. The later UIs put too much priority on features like avatars or adverts, which are just unnecessary bloat.

It is surprising to me that the red special edition console didn’t have the special power on and power off sound or disc open and disc close tray sounds as for many of those special edition Xbox consoles and also should be that to have the NXE dashboard should be that it should have the same logo as the blades as I think that the Metro only got the updated logo.
