    Yeah if you never got the red ring of death it was the best console.

    Its DRM was more flexible than we have ever or will ever see on a console again.

    • The licensing worked similar to xbox one but you could transfer all licenses at once instead of just when you downloaded a game.
    • You could install any disc or digital game to internal or external drives and could transfer it between any pc/console. The discs then functioned as physical licenses to play disc-based games.

    The avatar system was the gaming metaverse we all wanted and it got abandoned before it could reach its full potential.

    • Avatar awards as skins you could show off in multiple games!? Amazing.
    • indie devs could take advantage of the avatar system to enhance their games

    The library was the peak that xbox ever had to offer. Uniqueness and passion still showed through in AAA games of this era, and 360 had the majority of quality AAA games. PS3 still managed, but nostalgia for the 360 days is what is still keeping the xbox brand alive today.

    The online multiplayer in games of this era still celebrated and enabled community/random encounters with voice chat. This doesnt happen in modern games, nobody is in the game chat anymore. I am not a fan of paid multiplayer so i dont pay anymore, but back in the day, it was worth it for the shenanigans and connections we made.
