Comment on Xbox 360S and Xbox OG
tenacious_mucus@sh.itjust.works 2 days agoThat’s what the current gen xbox one and series do- disc for reference, download actual game. The 360 playing older OGs still plays from the disc without download/internet. ….at least that’s been my experience. Last time i used my 360 to play OG xbox games there was no internet or downloads involved.

You were probably fortunate enough to have a console with the software emulator.
A quick look into it this morning said Microsoft offered these discs for people stuck without internet.

Huh, neat. Ive never seen that disc before. FWIW, i had 3 different 360s, but I dont remember which ones i would have used Og xbox games on. Likely my first one- it was the original larger style that was prone to RROD, but was purchased a few years after the 360 had been released. My other two were the later slim version. I dont have specific model numbers…the only 360 i still have has been in storage for a few years now in a different country, so i couldnt even go mess with right now if i wanted to 😅
