just thought i'd remind you of the occasion.

Yeah 2nd year also for me. Amazed at how many good games are coming out. 12 months ago I didn't think they had anything to match last XMas season but this ones turned out better IMHO. I guess I was expecting Fable 2 and the like to arrive earlier and not factor in so much to the XMas sales.

Just over a year for me (October 2007) and I've been loving every moment of it.

Interesting side note, though: Some people have been reporting that Microsoft (Being the ultimate evil in the Universe) deliberately released the NXE (Which they knew would cause a few RROD's) a few days after the 360's 3 year anniversary, so if it bricked any launch consoles, MS wouldn't have to repair it as the extended warranty will have just expired. As this thread rightfully points out, the 360 was released on the 22 of November, 2005 so Microsoft deliberately released it a few days before this important date, so that if you were unfortunate enough to have a bricked console, you're still entitled to a free repair from the big M. I'd just like to take the time to say "Kudos!" to Microsoft for picking that date, instead of November 25 or something.

Happy Birthday, releasing NXE for the Anniversary was a good idea (Y)

My one year Anniversary was earlier this month I think.

Also so nice to see a Birthday topic that isn't crapped on within a few posts :happy:

$600?

Did you buy games with it?

Guess that's what grabbing a console at launch does to you LOL.

I always wait a little longer than launch, it can be hard at times though if you have the cash available :( Nothing better than getting the "new gadget feeling"!

nice comments from all. three years ago i wasn't even thinking about getting an Xbox console, i was rather waiting for another dame! from a gaming perspective, the last two years have been bliss.

jianbing, you're just living in denial again...put down the guitar and trade it for a controller.

as for kushan, it can be argued MS should have put the NXE out much earlier, say at least a couple weeks before, but i agree, they probably did their best to help with any unforseeables. plus, i thought you had your 360 much longer.

ricardo, i think we have two more years with her, after that the lady "720" will come about, i'm pretty sure.

but let's celebrate, i've been gaming like a madman lately, which goes with boozing quite well, although after three-four cans i get kinda cranky on Live and that doesn't help with COD5. aiming goes to hell when you're all absinthe minded.

    • I bought this game. Played it for an hour, and then got a refund from Steam. Not a fun game at all.

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets another hotfix for one of the game's online modes by Taras Buria Recently, Forza Horizon 6 players discovered an interesting glitch that allowed farming a crazy amount of in-game credits in a few minutes. Playground Games quickly pulled the plug on the exploit by disabling one of the game's online modes, and today, the studio is rolling out another hotfix. In my review, I complained about the game still showering gamers with cars, credits, and wheelspins. As such, earning money in Forza Horizon 6 is not a particularly difficult task. You simply have to play the game, crazy, I know. However, people still found an easier path to becoming a billionaire in Forza Horizon 6. All you had to do was purchase the Hummer EV, install a specific tune, shift in reverse while going at about 15 MPH, hit a wall, and get launched into the stratosphere at the speed of light. While mid-air, launch Eliminator and quickly get eliminated. Boom, the game just awarded you with a few million in-game credits. Initially, Playground Games disabled Eliminator to prevent people from farming credits. Now, following the release of the first balancing update, developers are rolling out a new update that re-enables Eliminator and gives users a free McLaren Sabre as a gesture of goodwill. Here is the changelog: One critical issue remains unpatched, though. There are quite a few reports of the game wiping gamers' saves, and developers are still looking into that. To avoid potential data loss, Playground Games recommends taking one of the steps outlined in a previously published support article.
