cimerians Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Too many games to mention lol. My personal preference: Oblivion Skyrim Dragons Dogma Dragon Age Origins Mass Effect 2 Red Dead Redemption Fallout New Vegas Burnout Paradise The orange box Midway Arcade Origins Kameo Alan Wake Condemned Criminal Origins Lost Odyssey Eternal Sonata Lego Star Wars Complete Saga Burnout Paradise There's a boatload of XBLA games too that are highly worthy....especially the arcade games and Game Room. Over time, sold individually, they ate up a lot of my money but I'm glad I have them. I also got a digital copy of Midway Origins so I can pretty much play a lot of them without having to dig around for a disc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Dangerous Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 What is the best model to buy? Thinking of snapping one up now that they are in the $60-$120 range. Have never owned or played one really! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE146 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Just get the slim I guess. I still have an old Jasper model with the original dashboard on it which is supposedly a very good one to have, but I doubt those are easily findable anymore.

Have never owned or played one really! My main X360 is the E model you find at any GameStop/Best Buy and it works fine: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Xbox_360_retail_configurations#Xbox_360_E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H454 Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 The older Xboxes & 360's can be finicky. I have a 360 That I hadn't turned on in like 3-4 YEARS. Newer model. Hit the power button, red light on the PSU. And RROD Spent the better parts of two days and two "new" PSU's trying to reset / get it working. What finally "fixed" it: Blowing the "dust" out. Yep - not even stored it a dirty / dust area. So if any gets an old 360 with a red PSU light - some tips: Plug it strait into the wall, no power strips / filters (per Microsoft). Disconnect Everything and reinstall - Try the original A/V connector with the HDMI unplugged. Use some compressed air and blow the crap out - you may need to do this 2-3 times. Try Holding down the eject button when powering on. I don't remember what specifically this does, but after the forth time I did it - success! Hopefully this will save somebody some headaches down the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zylon Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 (edited) I'm still running my 1st 2005 non-HDMI white system daily. Only problem it ever has is the drive belt for disc tray. I clean the belt every couple years and life's good. Even had a few folks give me their old similar consoles when they couldn't get a decent trade value. Between luck and spare parts, I'd say my 1st gen has a long lease yet. Did get an S model and keep it at my mother's house. I like it, but it tends to turn itself on.

Rick Dangerous Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Found an X Box 360 S on craigslist with a 250gb Hard drive, two controllers, and a few games, so i'm taking the plunge. I mostly want to play the minter games on the eshop and banjo kazooie in HD. haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blazing Lazers Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Project Sylpheed is such a hidden gem. Get it cheap while you still can! There's also an early game called The Outfit that is super fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
