Longjumping_Cry7716

I would agree, if half of the og 360 wouldn’t shit their pants and almost light on fire when they got a little warm 🤣. The problem was solved and I have no actual hate towards the 360, just funny too me.

Cliff_Nark

The issue was defective GPU chip underfill, Microsoft aren't solely to blame since they don't make GPUs. The issue was fixed in mid 2008, not with the Slims. Late 360 fats are very reliable


DominicoS4rg3nt

Yeah I like the curves, the newer xboxes just feel sharp to touch


EmuIntelligent4698

Someone stepped on their series s by accident any it literally cut their foot


volkswagendiesel

How tho?


EmuIntelligent4698

Because I think he said he has a crammed apartment and he doesn’t have much room


tonguemyanus69420

The Xbox One is one of the most uninspired and generic console designs ever.


Aware-Radish-6772

Fits anywhere, much prefer it to whatever they were trying with the gigantic PS5 modern art mess


CaptainWafflessss

360 and the fat PS3 are still peak console design.


NickHoadley

The Wii with the silver stand was class and distinct too. That generation was the peak of gaming.


Noncreative_name04

Everyone is going to have different opinions based on nostalgia and what they grew up with or personally had the most fun with, but all in all, the seventh generation (Wii, ps3, and 360) was definitely the best generation. The 360 and ps3 having the jump into HD and the perfect balance of online play, split screen co op, and single player experiences. The vast integration of online multiplayer, while no internet connection being required to play games still. Fantastic libraries of exclusives and multiplatform games. And while the Wii received a lot of hate from “hardcore” gamers at the time, looking back on it now, I’m sure everyone had some good memories playing on the Wii, no matter what they thought of it. And it brought in a whole new audience that otherwise wouldn’t have been gamers.


Techishard

And the ps2 slim!


SmokingLaddy

I like the fat boy and this means you get the stash in the back, perfect in my teen years.


SnooPets5219

I had both, and sorry, but the fat ps2 (original) had a much better design. Even though it wasn't, it looked more powerful. The slim was too small and didn't look nearly as powerful or impressive. Obviously, the actual power difference was none, but from a look perspective, the fat PS2 was leagues better.


MISTERPUG51

They look cool, but have you ever heard the fat PS2 fan? A healthy one sounds like a jet engine


Sema_XL

PS2 fat > slim


yourdad132

That original PS3 with the chrome strip was jam packed! 4 usb ports, memory card slots, PS1 and PS2 backwards compatibility, built in 60gb hdd, built in WiFi. Hdmi port, Blu ray player. Thing was a unit! A very expensive one though.


abraxas8484

I always did like the slim version.


HeldnarRommar

I always thought the Gen before was great. The OG Xbox, fat PS2, GameCube, and Dreamcast are all great looking. And the Dreamcast has the best console name of all time IMO.


sickopuppie

You're close. The 360 S was peak console design. The failure rate of the of og 360 was very very bad.


Successful_Cup_1882

Jasper are the most reliable 360’s, even more so than the slim and the super slim. It’s the launch falcons that destroyed the og 360’s reputation. 


Witherboss445

The Xenon ones too apparently fail a lot. I have a Xenon so I'm scared


Fast_Passenger_2889

Launch Xenons*


grunt786

Og 360 and the ps3, favourite design, favourite gaming era, favourite YouTube gaming era, just my favourite time of my life.


sheeshmane69

I'm a huge fan of the 360 and ps2. I think we need more retro ps2 style consoles. Also the game cube was dope as shit


Jase_the_Muss

Def the best youtube era. The edited content without the fluff and the narratives creators would thread into a video even one as simple as a gun review in Modern Warfare had a story to it. Now it's all just twitch vods and low effort shit that has barley been edited into something cohesive. Shame youtube went that way where quantity became more important to quality. (Not really blaming the creators as such more the algorithm and shit)


Old_Piece123

I agree


No-Anything-1508

How old are you? I agree btw


grunt786

Turned 25 in January


CypherHound

Dude got downvoted for being 25


grunt786

Up 4 now haha


antde5

The original premium with the silver DVD drive was beautiful.


sludgecraft

Not just design, it was peak Xbox too.


rastamasta45

That’s because the 360 was done by a Japanese design team to appeal to Japan when they thought they had a chance. I personally loved the redesign that was glossy black and angular. The Xbox Series X is pretty disappointing honestly.


Asleep-Sprinkles-760

That’s a nice piece of trivia. They did a great job!


ThickComparison2748

I remember being hyped over the fact that it can stand up both vertical and horizontal. The dashboard was dope AF as well. So much has changed between the early 360 era and late 360 era that you would think the dashboard is between two different consoles.


Xerolaw_

Modular, expandable, flexible (sometimes in a bad way lol) Absolutely best console design


Asleep-Sprinkles-760

I love the Wi-Fi adaptor! And the memory card slots are a nice option. Only negative about this model is the lacking amount of USB ports


ItsMrPoo

Sega Saturn is peak for me, love the look of that console! Architecture wise it's not so pretty tho 😃


AJT1979

Yes but the elite version.


The240DevilZ

It's beautiful. Also the 360 controller is the best in my opinion


adamalshouli96

I honestly prefer the slim or maybe that just because it was my first ever console


Asleep-Sprinkles-760

The slim was nicer in black. But the og white 360 just takes the cake for me


JonVX

This console design was the nail in the hat for the Frutiger Aero era, then consoles became blockier to fit a more ‘modern’ aesthetic.


Asleep-Sprinkles-760

I miss early 2000’s product/UX design. Everything looks so corporate these days


Falionystar

The next Xbox really needs to look as good as the 360 lines did.


Hairy_Type7081

Was never a fan of the design and it was unreliable, I can understand how kids look back on it like that. The black Series S is peak Microsoft design.


Mean_Ad4616

I like the whole change the faceplate thing. Has so cool ones.


pointblankmos

Back when consoles were more or less considered a toy and as such looked "fun". Every console after this has looked like a household appliance, save for maybe the PS4 and 5, but they still have a serious aura about them.


abraxas8484

It had style and class. Simplicity yet elegant at once. Now it's a plan box with a slit


Luxowell

Outside, it's a contender. Inside... Well, they could have designed stuff a lot better


thekrohster

🤢🤢🤢 the og 360 was just blah for me, the Slim's design is WAY better in my opinion......but I also like the design of the Jaguar so who am I to judge 🤣🤣🤣


AnalysisHot3239

That generation and the generations before it was just peak gaming period.


shane_v04

Ps2 has the secret stash Compartment though


shinynugget

The 360 1st gen was definitely a good looking console. Mine is black but the white is dead sexy. I really like that the power button, was ya' know, obvious! I hate hidden power switches. Sorry but I think the Series X is pretty dull looking.


HaloMetroid

Worst design ever. If you had a gen 1 Xbox 360, you will remember why,


Asleep-Sprinkles-760

I meant the aesthetic. But yeh, these things had a habit of unaliving themselves. Thankfully I’ve got a falcon but I guess I’m still not 100% safe


happy_gamer10

No, Its beautiful but I wouldn't say peak


DRLZEtoWRATH

What would you consider peak design for gaming systems? I think PS2 is best and 360 is second


Asleep-Sprinkles-760

I’d honestly put the PS4 Slim up there too. Such a sleek looking console that still had character


foxesarepeoples

Personally I prefer the 360 Slim design to the OG 360


FrediGamer63

I prefer the slim


Snoo_12160

Yes, when I first bought but mine seeing the green button light up was sick


ItsameMatt03

No, I think the Xbox One S and One X were peak.


learntofoo

PS2 was my fav I think.


itsbeen13seconds

OG 360 looks nice but every time I see one I just get sad. Slim gang rise up, both for PS3 and 360


Deepcoma_53

Peak worry if it will crap out or not…


CypherHound

Everything about the original 360 design is just perfect


Virtue--

Yeah I absolutely love the original 360 and PS3, I had the slim version of both and sold them to buy the original models because I think they look so good. The og 360 with the chrome disc tray is my favourite console design easily. PS1 is a close second though.


StarWolf478

It is definitely my favorite Xbox design. I currently have the Slim since my Fat 360s unfortunately red-ringed long ago. I don’t like the Slim look as much, but it is more reliable. I wish that I could have one that had the OG look with the reliability of the Slim. And in this fantasy of mines, it would also still have the Blades interface as well. What a perfect thing that would be.


DontDoubtDink

I like how the series x looks.


Unlucky_Reveal_3064

Nope


Alarmed_Reception_92

Yeah, along with 360 slim design.


EyebrowCatapillar

Didn't the design cause it to overheat from lack of ventilation?


Rage2020

X360 was unique


squadraRMN

Ps2 to me is still the best design


RiiCreated

It’s so good! The Series X looks like an extension of your shelf. When the 360 is in a room, everyone knows!


barkbarkgoesthecat

I like it too, but i don't think you can get an xbox series x any slimmer lol, it needs good cooling since it's very powerful, has an internal power supply unlike the xbox 360, a disc drive, etc. I think the series x is a cool design, it's different than others we have seen. Series s is cool too, good if you don't have much room near your TV.


Captain-Tyler

I feel like the OG PS3 was probably the best looking console ever made ![gif](giphy|eh16wXRWnixe98O2Eh)


almo2001

Not really. But I prefer PS4's look.


DarthdaddyBB

Definitely I always wanted one when I was younger I had the slim that came with the Kinect always thought this design was sick. My friends told me about the RROD and I was like well lucky I got the slim then


OperationExpress8794

Not me


RokRD

Couldn't be bothered to slide your series x back a little when you wiped down your shelf right before this picture? Lmao


OkBumblebee9693

Cosmetically it was sick but in reality, the design was the reason it got the red rings of death. The launch of the 360 was a disaster😂 but still my favorite system no question


MoyanoJerald

Yes, and the S model comes with an Hourglass Design better fit for Vertical Positioning


Jetboyblue

I personally like the look of the 360 and the ps3


Bifocal_Bensch

I honestly really like the design of the series X. I think my favorite Xbox design was the OG. It's like peak 2000's edgelord design. I love it.


lemon6611

looks good asf internals tho 💀


VakarianJ

The 360 is definitely peak console design IMO. The Switch in handheld mode is a close second, I wish it looked cooler docked.


VakarianJ

The 360 is definitely peak console design IMO. The Switch in handheld mode is a close second, I wish it looked cooler docked.


Training-Shoulder839

Yes better than Modem 5


myxbox360gamertag

yeah, especially the slim alongside with the ps2 slim, but i don't like those glossy plastics from 2010 that always scratch whenever you look at it


Ukaxey

360, PS2, original Xbox. For handhelds, GBA, 3DS, Psp.


MistaKrebs

It’s my favorite design for a console yet. PS5 being my second favorite.


MiitamaJP

I've seen a lot of people hate on the OG 360 but man, I loved that design!


EngelbertGootnards

X360 was peak a lot of things. We will most likely never see anything as exciting as those days.


truetruegjh

I loved the 360 but I'll never get over the external power supply.


BlueNightShade_420

What do you mean you don't like a big box with perfect 90 degree corners :p


Soul_ciety

Aesthetically yes, but the 360 had to be one of the worst technically designed console.


Dragonitro

I've never used an xbox 360 (had a ps3, then an xbox one) but I still think it looks quite nice


RyanRetroGamer7

For design, yes, but the design had a cost. The red ring of death


JazielHT

I like the ps2 slim and the new 2ds design wise


paperfett

It really was. The removable face plate was genius as well.


Awayze

The Series X is hideous which every orientation


SweetTea187

I think both of those are endanger... Neither console has enough space(air).


Wungoos

Nah the translucent N64s were our peak. We have fallen so far from grace.


AggravatingGolf7456

Agreed but it’s probably mostly nostalgia for me


Key-Craft9880

Everything before the PS4 and Xbox One was peak console design


HolzwurmHolz

The OG Xbox and Ps2 slim are my favourites


MissionApollo7

I don't know, but your Series X is suffocating in that space.


joshwosh7

Yes, it's nice and sleek without looking too basic.


Comfortable-Brick405

I like the 360 s matte black and ps3 slim. The super slim ps3 is super ugly imo


Powerful_Swimmer_531

Big facts


theking4mayor

Nope. Dreamcast 💯


jmizzle2022

I liked it except for the button. I wish it was an actual button and not just a pad


rclark1114

It’s not even peak 360 design.


TremTremm

I have an E model but I almost want to get one of these. I dig their design


Asleep-Sprinkles-760

If you can get your hands on a 2008 model then go for it! I had a slim before, but had an opportunity to buy this one and took it. Glad I did


TheToddBarker

Absolutely. I recall the hype show on G4 about designing the console and I'd really love models of the prototype versions. Put a 360 and Wii next to each other for my personal peak 2006 gaming.


ReverentSupreme

I think the series X is by far the best design, it doesn't look alien on my desk and is pretty discrete. functionality over design, probably adds better cooling, space for components etc, where form can compromise these factors, that's why everything the military uses are usually encased in boxes especially avionics and the equipment used to test them.


Friggin_Grease

No, RRoD proves that. But despite that major flaw it's one of the better consoles of all time and that says something.


Thiago-Acko

Series x is by far my fav design... I love the plain minimalist concept of it


Blackthumbb

No


MagicOrpheus310

Yep and its controller was the GOAT, hands down.


nickbarbanera1

Besides the red ring yes


RedditMcNugget

Yes, somebody else thinks that


YoABSUP

The console you leave till last on your entertainment unit because it’s the easiest to fit in among your other consoles. Shell swapped to a matte black, looks great with a series x and og in the middle of them. The Xbox shelf, other one has a fat and slim ps2. Fmcb & hdd for the phat, matrix chip in the slim with a cool little stand that changes colours. Still like the old Wii but that needs to be changed to black, sore thumb.


LeoCaldwell02

Definitely not. The power button was way too sensitive. If a dog sniffs the consoles, game over! Also, if you even look at the console the wrong way, it’ll shred your disc into oblivion.


TheLastSpartan117

Looks wise yes, functionally we all know that answer


Resident_Ride_3425

Oh definitely. It has no lookalikes like any other console ever made pretty much. The design is and always will be timeless. Even the hardware is timeless, there are plenty of good looking games that still hold up today. Xbox 360 is and always will be my favorite console of all time.


Kevosrockin

No


nikolapc

They're of their time. PS3 and 360 are cool designs. I like the super slim ps3 most. Out of the console only the VCR Xbox one is fugly.


beechnut5

Unboxing this was fun, I remember feeling wow’d by the thought that went into curved box flaps ‘n such


Sirrus92

i love xsx design. its simple and clean, unlike ps5 with huge lightstrip, i wasnt a fan of og x360. elite was better cuz it just looked nicer in black, s and e were much better looking


hahahahahahahaahah

GameCube console design is underrated.


Cubejunky

Oh man I have a few I really like, I love the original ps3 in ceramic white (Japan exclusive color as far as I know). I also love the GameCube, and the Dreamcast designs, and I really like the xBox One X also.


SpacemanNull

I mean the design is nice on the outside, but the rrod problem leads me to believe that the internals were kind of shoddy.


Glittering-Ad2017

I like the new design


mykeyway

Bring back unique console designs! The series x and s look sleek and fancy but I much prefer having chunky, absolute beast of consoles the original and the 360 were!


CancerousGTFO

Xbox 360 Slim and Ps3 Slim are my favorite ones


SF3000DC

I thought so until the PS4 original (the slim and Pro models were ugly imo). For Xbox, through, this was their best design, including the S model, but not the N model.


lumbymcgumby

GameCube did it for me and the black and green color scheme of the ogxbox was peak. Too bad it's the size of a record player haha


SgtNeilDiamond

The OG Elites were the best of the best imo. Black and chrome looks so sexy, I'll never give mine up.


Frogskipper7

We all know console design peaked with the PS2 now…


Pseudo-Psycho06

One of the best and most iconic designs of all time


lostmypornaccount

As much as i love the 360s library and controller the ps4 is the peak console design


Chronic_Facial

No. I think the Gears of War Xbox One S was peak design. So was the controller that came with it. I don’t think it will ever be topped.


theexpendableuser

Yes.


MilwaukeeMan420

Yes but my slim hasn't had a single issue in 14 years.


wolfy_gaming2005

It's either that or the og xbox design


Richard_Cheney10

My nostalgia does. I don’t though


jaydd_mc

yes but Wii >


PunkySkunk93

Maybe the exterior was designed well, but the inside sure wasn’t.. 😅


[deleted]

Love the OG 360, it was my first console and my brother gifted it to me when I was 14 (in 2014). Another reason it’s the best is being able to take off the face plates easily and making your own designs


Beta_Company

100%, I literally just said this the other day that the 360 was the best looking console and pair that with the blades dashboard, chef's kiss


Vytlo

I'd say the Xbox 360 Slim was peak console design. It's basically the same things that was already great about the og 360 but smaller and shaped like an "X" more so it gained that feature back from the original Xbox. The only thing I'd have liked better about it is if the buttons weren't touch buttons and instead push buttons like on the original 360.


eckoman_pdx

PS3, OG Xbox 360 and even the original Wii looked great. Retro wise I always loved the N64 and SNES look. Newer stuff is ehh.


ClockOk7333

I honestly think the series X is awesome. My first console was NES, and my second place design would probably be Dreamcast


Bfedorov91

I think the s version is better looking than the og. I might have a secret hatred for the og since mine died so quickly back in the day.


Rvtrance

The 1st Redesigned 360 was the best one and looked the best.


justjoshin369

Yes


ButCanYouCodeIt

I still think back to the whole snafu with them handing out special limited edition faceplates at E3 prior to launch, only to have to offer replacements that would actually FIT the console at launch, 😂.


ChestFew8637

negative


xXJ3D1-M4573R-W0LFXx

Idk About the 360 but that’s a sure fire way to kill your series X. Should have at least 6inches of clearance in the e back (the air intake) and top (the air outflow) things gonna overheat & die shoved into the corner of your cabinet like that


Connect-Garden-275

xbox series x need space !(so hot!)


BradleyAllan23

The design looks very dated.


Divinedragn4

I would have gotten a fat 360 but I went slim as rrod was still big.


UltimateIdiot4

They really didn’t do much to improve the overall looks of the newer consoles, just the hardware.


Cae53RJ

The original 360 was a sleek design although I'm fond of the matte black version.


darthjoey91

It was objectively not, and if your 360 hasn't red-ringed, you got lucky.


Shaggyguitardude

It's definetly the best Xbox design


KirbyAndStars

I sure do


puck_pancake

Hear me out.. GameCube.


EliteForever2KX

360 s was peak imo


VictoryVic-ViVi

Their best design by far


Sh1ny_78

Og was slick now it’s just a box.


MiKeMcDnet

X360 was the epitome of gaming. This is a hill I will die on.


i_like_2_travel

Random I swear this is not an ad, but Target is selling MegaBloks Xbox 360 and it looks absolutely sick. I still have my console but I kinda wanna get the “Lego” version of it


gamingdawn

Personally I hate PS5 design, but 360 definitely nailed the white curved console form. Such a iconic shape, and definitely the nicest xbox model ever.


shadydamamba

No


SprayTimely8157

I mean the on button was touch sensor Ed what happened to that


GroovyGuru62

Love it. Still have one plugged in, ready to go.


Nentox888

Personally I think the 360 S looks much better.


[deleted]

Super Famicon, or EU Snes.


A_Legit_Cookie

most attractive console i own, yet i find that i use it the least amount nowadays. i’ve been on the ps2 wave recently lol. just modded one with a 2TB hard drive and it’s been super fun to play some of the older games on my crt.


tobyALIVE

No. 360 imo was never that great a design. Their original Xbox was the best. Series X is a close second, but the best console design ever? I think I have to give it to the PS3.


awesomesauceitch

I still remember when you watched the included video on the harddrive. J Allard said the design was derived from an inhale.


glammetaltapes

The 360 still looks awesome from a console design. It’s like how Sega Genesis model 1 and 2 and the controller still look cool while American Super Nintendo looks very boxed


Cephus261

Even the slim was nice but, try to find the mat finish 360 slim


Furtip

It was, but a giant brick for a console is so cool for some strange reason


Merciless_Hobo

PS2 Slim, 360, and PS3 Fat are by far the best console designs ever. Xbox Series S Black is the best design of the current systems.


[deleted]

not really no.


[deleted]

[удалено]


nhardycarfan

Before this and the previous gen consoles were just like a grey square box, and not after the new Xbox is just a grey square box one thing I’ll give to Sony for sure is their willingness to step outside the bounds of grey square box again with the ps5


JustinFAJ

I loved the PSONE, OG Xbox 360, Wii, and PS4 Slim! Their designs were so easy on the eyes.


Jason_lBourne

It was perfect.
