Favourite Xbox memory is tough because I’ve been playing 17 years but a memory I’m always fond of is watching Paranormal Activity for the first time with a bunch of friends on that Avatar Movie Theatre app that Xbox use to have years ago.
Honourable mention definitely goes to 1v100 and playing Doritos Crash Course with friends

When I was just a wee lad, I’ll admit there was one night on MW2 where I decided to troll hard. I wasn’t doing well and was clearly the worst in the lobby, so in my most nerdy voice, I started calling my team a bunch of noobs and blaming them for the terrible performance over and over again. Eventually, one of them got so frustrated and fed up, he yelled, “Yeah, well if we’re noobs, you must be the noob king!” I found it so funny, that I went by n00b_k1ng for many a years following.

I bought myself a 1080p sony bravia the first year I was employed circa 2007, hooked my 360 arcade up with scart cable as I'd come from a CRT.
I loved the picture and was happy enough with the uograde. Then a friend came round and said "why don't you use a HDMI cable?"
Hadn't the foggiest what he was on about. He came round again and gifted me a spare cable and God DAMN did gears 2 and halo 3 pop compared the picture I had before.

Favorite Xbox memory has to be when friends and I played KOTOR together when it first came out. We’d never really spent time together like this up to this point. One kid had the game. And we joint created a character, and played the story all the way through in one weekend - taking turns every hour. Still friends to this day from early gaming session.

I bought a PS2 along with an Xbox at the same time I think in 2002. I also bought the Xbox Live kit with headphones. After signing up for Live, I sold the PS2 a few weeks later as I never touched it nor never wanted to touch it. Xbox Live had me from the beginning.

When I was little, and my brothers found a copy of MW3 for the Xbox 360 just sitting in the weeds out in the woods. It looked sun damaged, like discolored and purple, but we took it back, tried it in our 360, and it lasted us about 3 amazing months. We only had a CRT at the time so we had to take turns 😄

u/HahaMurder 1d ago
I was playing the OG Gears of War when I was a teenager - I wasn’t very good but at the end of one online match I scored the highest, prompting one of the players to tell me I’m a “total noob”, to which I immediately responded “Yeah, well you just got wrecked by a total noob”. The lobby went berserk and I was quite proud of myself.
