With all of the talk centered on the future of the Xbox 720, we almost forgot to think of the past of the Xbox, which this week just happens to be the 10th anniversary of its release on November 15th 2002. The gaming scene changed that day for good and for the better. Happy Birthday Xbox! :cool:

Other milestones in the development of Xbox Live included the 2004 introduction of the Xbox Live Arcade, the emergence of customizable Avatars and the Avatar Marketplace in 2008 and 2009, and major Xbox Live dashboard overhauls in recent years.

Meh. I will get a PS4 this time. I'm not going to pay for xbox live just to watch netflix or use other internet apps.
 
The Wii-U will have TV apps as well with no pay service. Supposed to be implemented in December. I will have to make up my mind whether or not to hold out for a PS4 or to simply get the Wii-U, or get a Wii-U now and a PS4 later.
 
Buying the new Xbox once supplies aren't short. Loved the Xbox, but the xbox360.is my favorite. I'm a PC gamer but guess what the Xbox is in the living room. And easy to play with my wife and kid.
 
they sent me a 10th anniversary Xbox and a avatar helmet...
 
I was a long time XBL user. XBL Japan. Ya, guess what they don't get for free.

Anyways, I since stopped paying for XBL. Don't feel like paying for online multiplayer. I don't use Netflix, so I really don't care about that.
 
Good and better how? The Dreamcast already had online play for online consoles, and other services (a browser, which took Xbox until this year :p). All they added was the ability to pay to use your own games and your own connection and your own console in peer to peer network gaming (and ads, lots of ads). But that is hardly good and better. It's kind of silly and worse. :p
 
We don't need XBOX 720 hardware. I think we need a XBOX 720 Hyper-V machine. That would sell tons of PC's while also keeping the playground level on virtual hardware for all players.
 
I love my Xbox 360 and Xbox Live. It's treated me well throughout the years. The original Xbox did, too. Modded the shit out of that thing.
