Comment on What is your favourite gaming console you have played?

I’ll always have a 360 laying around ready to be played, so probably that if I had to choose. Every other console has come and gone, and now I don’t have time for games anymore, though I do have a pc and a ps5 (ps5 is mostly for BD/DVD these days), but I still have my 360 plugged in and off, just needs to be turned on and hdmi connected.

I recently found out that you can soft hack them really easily, literally drag and drop onto a flashdrive and plug it in. If you ever find the time you should definitely try.

My wife still has her 360 too, so we’ve got two at home, just one is put away but I know exactly where it is. Maybe I’ll give it a go one of these days.

Personally it’s been incredibly refreshing to go back and play all the games I couldn’t afford as a teen. There’s something comfortable about an era of self contained games meant for fun instead of profit.

Playing games as an adult that you couldn’t as a kid/teen is one of the great joys of adulthood.
The 360 feels like the last era of games for fun over games for profit, at least to me. It was also the last console generation where you could just insert a disc and play the game, no downloading required. That’s huge, at least to me. I’m totally fine with the smaller game files, that’s a trade off I’m willing to make for the convenience of plug and play (or insert and play, I guess).
