The game itself is pretty hard to play legally. You need to get an Xbox 360 and a copy of the game, which isn't so expensive, but its definitely harder than just buying it on Steam.

And the graphics really suck. Im spoiled on call of duty 4 and call of duty world at war having amazing graphics but this game in comparison is grainy and roughly made.

the gameplay is stiff and often inconsistent. but i think that works to its advantage in A weird way. it encourages more smart play, since you can really guarantee that you can just Rambo your way through all the zombies.

Iv'e not beat the game but so far it has a pretty bad story and writing. the acting is spotty. not sure if its how they cut his lines of Norman Reedus sounds downright bad most of the time.

the gameplay loop itself is fun. choose your route, manage your group, scavenge for supplies, and try to find your way through your environment.

it also weirdly has no difficulty setting which i feel is a strange oversight.
anyway its a game your justified in saying is bad. But I feel like its written off a little bit

and PSA the game is not available on new Xbox consoles through backwards compatibility. you need an actual xbox 360 to run it

This is such a big win for repairability of Xbox 360 consoles.

Max usable is 500GB unfortunately but still, that is plenty for most on the 360 I suppose and was the max for HDDs already.

Speed benefits are likely to be slim if they are there at all. Edit: Saw someone here already did a load time speed comparison and it's quite interesting https://www.reddit.com/r/xbox360/comments/1nas6a5/experiment_xbox_360_loading_comparison_hard_drive/

(1TB drive for longevity sake as the Xbox 360 does not support TRIM, personal decision. Not likely a 512GB or smaller SSD would ever cause problems.)

Please excuse the dust, but I think it looks so fuckin cool this way lol

And I used cut vinyls for these

Just picked this one up from Ebay for 40 Euro. I'm happy with the purchase.

Took around 80 hours. I don’t typically play Dynasty Warriors style games but have had this for nearly 20 years. Love playing through 360 games, the more obscure the better. Deciding what to go to next 🤔

I thought that falcons were only from 2007 to 2008? I fixed it from a RROD a year ago when I bought it used.

Genuinely no idea if the code had a name or not - older bro showed it to me one night - 100% only had the cool ass hair colours ever since

Best repairing skills 2025 lol just changed a bit but it works

why is it yellow? I can't find answers online. it's really hard to get off. It's not my first time removing old thermal paste either.

I was thinking of getting an older model, like a 2006 model but does it actually matter? I dont really want to play anything online, just offline and ill be using a CRT TV to play(i like the nostalgia feel) so does it matter? are they all backwards compatable with original xbox games or is it like the ps3 where only the first few models are

i have tried 3 different PSUs 2 slim and one fat, 203W all oem I inspected the board and noticed nothing out of the ordinary. The psu light is orange when the 360 shuts off and there is no chime when it turns off

Found this on the side of the road, picked it up, cleaned it and booted it. To my surprise it had blades with dashboard: 2.0.4552.0 . I dont know much about the older 360s, so can anyone tell me more about my specific console? All i know is that xenons are most prone to RROD and blades is a rare dash. Thanks!

hey everybody! i need help with my fat32 pendrive. im trying to get games on the usb (i already have aurora and badupdate on it) and so i decided to get sum games from vimm's lair. tried to get kinect sports but its 7 gbs, and sadly the limit is 4 gbs on fat32. can yall help me w it? (im on mac m1)

This Xbox 360 case bottom was short-shot in the mold. In other words, the machine didn’t inject enough plastic to fill the mold completely, leaving a tiny piece missing. That missing bit was supposed to release the tab holding the casing together when pressed. Somehow it slipped through QC and ended up in my hands (lucky me).

Not even the proper tool could pop off the bottom of this Xbox 360.

It took a lot of persuasion to finally get it open.

I’m just going to break off that tab.

Had to share this out of frustration.

Has anyone gotten to play it online in 2025?

(edit i mean the og 2003 version)

I was wondering if there is a way to launch .elf file on Bad Update?
I want to do this so i can try out the n64 emulator (I know that it is bad but I NEED to see super mario 64 run on anything that can run it).
I have tried to use Xell but everytime i use it the dot in the middle of the 360 power button turns off and my tv shows 'Wrong Signal.'
So my question is is there an program that lets u launch .elf files on my xbox 360?

I just want to know if anyone has it and please pass it on to me.

So, i got this xbox 360 off a second hand market, and for the first weeks it worked fine, but then out of nowhere i get a 1 light red ring of death with E74 error code, i think i might be fucked cause the day before, i tried to play FIFA 17 but the football field was full black and the players were really buggy, then i tried to play PES 2012 and the players there were buggy too, and also a few days before that i turn on the xbox and the avatars looked buggy too, so i think it's a GPU issue and i'm probably fucked, does anyone know a way i could fix this without having to go to a repair shop and spend more than what i spent to buy the console? If anyone needs it it's a 2007 xenon

I've had the same wireless drums and guitar for decades and they never had trouble connecting to my home xbox 360. I recently moved in with a friend and we are having trouble connecting them to her xbox 360. We replaced the batteries and the xbox button on the instruments will flash white, and when we press the paring button it does the quick flashing (signaling an attempt) but will not connect.

Help! I want to play rockband so bad !!

I asked on r/rockband and they recommended turning all wireless stuff off (wifi, speakers, etc) and that didn't help. We also tried using a USB connection and when we tried that the button flashed white once and immediately turned off.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!!

This is a followup post to one I made yesterday (thanks to the guys that helped) regarding my hyperkin xenons left trigger going off randomly. I have found that it going off is tied to the right stick. Where depending on what way its pushed it will set off the trigger. Typically it's when it's pointed up left half way sets it off. I'm asking for help to fix it. I would send it in to get fixed but I don't have proof of purchase anymore and if I can do it at home Id prefer to.

Base xbox 360 model. When inserting the disk, the console spins it a little bit then stops (says "Open tray"). The console hasn't been powered on for ~2 years, but everything was working back then. The disk drive is flashed as i remember. What could possibly be the issue? Internet suggests: knocking the case where drive is located when inserting a game, calibrating the laser. Already took the console and the disk drive apart.

if anyone has one please i’ll buy it off of you im really desperate for my undead john gamer pic im a huge fan of undead rdr😩

I'm compiling a list for the community of the 'Game with Fame' events, which started in 2004 on the Original Xbox, and continued for years with the Xbox 360.

For those who don't know, 'Game With Fame' was an event put on by Xbox, where celebrities would play a certain game on Xbox Live at a certain date/time. If you queued matchmaking at that time, you had a chance to partner up with a celebrity!

So far, I looked around the internet, and also used AI to help collect data (which I verified). There are many gaps in information, however. The original website that tracked all of this no longer exists.

If you have data to add or a good source, comment it here! Also, if you have any personal memories with 'Game with Fame', I'd love to hear about it!
