The xbox 360 was probably the last aesthetically pleasing console to be made >>719041671
I am still BEYOND furious at how fucking hard Valve dropped the ball on Steam Home and then abandoned it.
WE GENUINELY COULD HAVE HAD NO GARRY NEWMAN GMOD, AND REMOTE PLAYED STEAM VIDYA WITH YOUR PALS
BUT THEY FUCKING ABANDONED IT BEFORE THEY FINISHED THE FLATSCREEN PORT
FUCK.

It's not my pic but my dad got that face plate back in the day lol. Never new a single other person who had one, and I never heard anyone ever mention that the OG 360 had swappable face plates.
>>719042490
I remember my dad buying one of these and using a program called "warp pipe" or something to play Mario Kart DD online with someone else. He said it was super laggy and barely worked but it was neat to see homebrew online play for it.

Technically the PS4 has them too, but >They're Japan only >The console itself is pretty ugly and doesn't look very nice with alternative plates
>>719044254 >make a decent fun game with a few retarded balancing decisions >everybody loves it >start building billion dollar stadiums to host tournaments for said game >nobody but the sweatiest koreans give a shit about FPS e-sports >game goes down as a cash-grab full of woke DEI politics
What were they thinking?
>middle school >invite new neighbor over >michael is good at halo and agreed my ICP xbox plate was bad ass >we practice sucking eachother's dicks for when we get girlffriends
it was a different time
>>719041302 (OP)
These things still happen. Pic related got announced for some rookie nepobaby racing driver (he got sacked like two weeks later so the console's never going to see the light of day but still)

Home was great for the first month until they turned off the public voice chat because everyone was just running around yelling nigger. That ARG game in it was pretty cool too. At least I think it was, I barely remember it.
Fuck you nigger faceplates were soulful and fun and a better alternative to the future were we get no special editions.
At least I could change how my console looks from where I'm sitting.
>>719052603
360s are still common enough to be cheap, the only real catch would be the tight cooler clearance. IIRC some youtuber managed to stuff a full GPU+ITX setup inside of one using an external PSU but the thermals were awful
>>719053241
Yeah no it's been a bit but I'm pretty sure all GPUs these days are retardedly huge, and I'd probably have to make something like a custom fan shroud.
>>719041671 >Lol, it's only a dollar. I can find it in my couch
Sony had to have made a killing selling outfits and accessories for your character and private home. I remember people saying that shit all the time.
Like even at the end they were adding new rooms a gave away free stuff for your characters. The whole time it was around was just Beta stage
>>719046609
Aren't those just vinyl wrappings? I think the only actual special edition that hit the mass market was the galaxy one that looks lame as hell and the halo infinite one.
>>719044172
I know who this is, I just dont know why I know who this is. why the hell were they so determined shove this bitch down our throats constantly back then
>>719056181
She was crazy hyped like Michelle Wei except Michelle won at least once. Danica didn't win a fucking thing in NASCAR despite all the publicity
>>719056523
The dumbest part about it.
It costs them like ~400 or something NSO subscriptions to keep it running >1bit depth doodles >text posts >3DS and 720p screenshots
And they just DIDN'T have it for next gen.
>>719057330 >reaching end of console generation >everyone is sick of guitar hero / rock band equipment, misc wii peripherals, shit like that >decide that's when you should release a big stupid peripheral
this and that stupid wonderbook
>>719056825
Sorry buddy. Miiverse was a casualty of the world-wide tech enshitification that really ramped up around 2017. They didn't kill it because it was expensive, they killed it because it allowed too much expression.
Starcraft 2 fired the voice actress for Kerrigan in favour of some D list Battle Star Galactica person who never came back and generally get the feeling shes a stuck up bitch who doesnt want to do voice over work.
Heroes of the Storm which comes out around the same time they had to get some generic voice actress to do Kerrigan.
>>719056189 >RRoD >Kinect
People sort of let the RRoD slide when they said they would fix it for free but even then it took a while for them to make that happen. The constant pushing of Kinect is probably pushed a bunch of people away
>>719046737
A lot of things used to be fun before social media, smartphones and women ruined everything. We've basically gone and made society undergo the same pain that a small tight-knit group goes through when they introduce women who are only there for male attention and not for the actual topic at hand, but on a much larger scale.
>>719056512
Its funny because she was a decent Indycar driver, but she bought into every fucking meme about BUMPIN and drove like a complete retard in NASCAR.
>>719056512
It's wild how much media pushed her like she was the second coming of Dale Earnhardt, then she gets into NASCAR and it's just wall-to-wall mediocrity. Sponsors stuck around purely because she looked marketable in a firesuit, not because she earned any of it on the track. Meanwhile, actual racers with real talent couldn’t get half the spotlight.
>>719041964 >The xbox 360 was probably the last aesthetically pleasing console to be made
The other gen 7 consoles came after and they look good as well.
and I like how the Series X looks, bite me
>>719063637
I immediately got the black ones. The white ps5 didn't look right stationed in a living-room setting. It's probably Sony's worst looking console to date.
