anniversary

[neoadorable]

well folks, it's been three years, so happy birthday to the lady of the house. two more to go i presume...

of course i only joined a year later, this is my second anniversary with the 360, but still...every day seems like a lifetime and so much has come to pass...

just thought i'd remind you of the occasion.

EDIT: :beer: :fun:

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.

This system rocks. That's all there is to say :D

I sold mine a few months ago because I wasn't playing it anymore (got back into my first love, guitar). I've been missing it though. May have to buy another one after New Year's :p .

[Remysaus]

nice, second anniversary for me too, haven't regretted buying a 360 for a second so far :D

It's been that long already. Damn. Didn't realise :p

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:

3 years. Launch Console Bundle from Circuit City for $600 (wish I was kidding but I am not) that I got using some site XBox 360 Tracker or something and happened to go on it at the right time at work . On 3rd unit from that original.

$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"!

I got mine on the first shipment after launch - due to the shortages :p

?280, yikes. Thank god I've only had one RROD:pp

[Kushan]

I've never ever bought a launch console before (Mainly because I'd have been too young to afford one) but I'll be sorely tempted if the next generation is anything like this one.

Here's to 3 more years of gaming awesomeness. :fun:

Launch console spent about 700 dollars when I got it on day one, second console and second hard drive.

Stood in a queue for 18 hours or something and don't regret it one bit :)

Happy birthday Xbox 360 :wub:

[neoadorable]

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.

While we're at it, I'd just like to point out that the 360 wouldn't be half as awesome as it is if it wasn't for Sony and (yes, even them) Nintendo putting up some great competition. We certainly wouldn't have even had the NXE if it wasn't for them!

[Pheee]

Happy birthday, still got my launch console, even tho it had RROD once.

Its been great, got it on day 1, even though it was last devliery of the day, had to wait till like 6:30pm or something, hahaha.

Its been great, but Im sure come Dec 2nd, we will have another thread for birthday greetings for Europe.

Launch day console here, never had an RROD. Hope that doesn't mean it'll die now that it's out of warranty :(

You're still in warranty for another week+ :p

[neoadorable]

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

I played lots of games to celebrate and I'll do it again on the 2nd Dec for the EU anniversary (Y) :p
