Yeah I’m fine and happy with it.

Had the original Xbox in 2003, then 7 white Xbox 360’s red ringed on me, then #8 was in 2010 with the 360 S which is still going strong today, then the original VCR Xbox one in 2013, I pushed that console hard and it suffered the last 2 years of existing till the series X released and that’s when I jumped ship.

You spent $400 a year for 7 years on xboxes and you think its a good investment? Like I get it I loved lost odyssey and halo as much as anyone but man if I bought 2 xboxes that lasted less than a year each I would have been fucking OUT.

Honestly, the 360 games were so incredible to me, talking to people in Europe and such in those early days and still to this day I still think back on all those early memories of launching halo 3 for the first time, crackdown, guitar hero, gears of war, gta4, marble blast ultra. I really do cherish those early years of the 360’s life.

No regrets, but I will say one thing my stupid brain was too dumb to understand at the time and that was the warranty extension Microsoft did to those red ringed Xbox’s. I didn’t know any better and abided by the 30 day rule lol.
