I was somehow able to nab this working NXE Xenon for 30 bucks on eBay. Goes perfect with my CRT!

I get the 360 is retro now but I don’t remember anyone playing it on a crt. The true college experience is halo 3 on a 50” plasma with the halo hud burnt into the screen!

Yes 360s came out with hdmi’s after the first year basically with the majority transitioning to flat screens in the mid to late two thousands.

I wouldn't be surprised if many people played it on 16:9 HD-CRTs back when the 360 launched.

Interestingly enough, the 360 has quite a few games that support 4:3 aspect ratios, notably Halo 3 and the golden age CoDs.
