I’m old enough to remember vaguely playing Super Mario Brothers 3, and some here probably had an Atari as teens or adults lol so 9 years doesn’t really make me feel too old. I think I was closer to High School Graduation than I wasn’t when the original Xbox came out
I still have a day one Xbox running strong but occasionally sounds like 66 Chevy when loading apps. I can’t imagine the amount of dog hair in that s.o.b.
I had a coleco vision, and my uncle gave me an original pong system…had two knobs you twist with 3 game modes, tennis/hockey and something else but they’re all basically just pong. That was all it played and in black and white. After those came Atari, Nintendo, genesis and all the others 🙂
I often feel pretty old (I started with an Atari 2600 when I was ten!), but 9 years ago just seems like yesterday. I’ve never had an Xbox, though. Only a 2600, PS1, PSP, Vita, Switch, PS5. Oh, and a bunch of DS and 3DS handhelds. Just computers outside of those.
Omg! I remember putting a payment down before they came out and I still missed out on the first shipment in my state. But we eventually got it. I remember a year or so in it wouldn’t accept any CDS so you would Have to insert the disk but hold onto it for a second wallet tries to pull it in
I’m 51. My first console was the Intellivision II in 1984. My mother spent most of her savings to get it for me and my brother because she had to buy a used TV to play it on too. My dad had just left us at that point.
Games have always been something that has enriched my life. Thank you OP for posting this. I hope that xbox has enriched your life and you continue on with that for a long time.
Ahh, the Xbox dark years. Expensive, mandatory Kinect, clock speed limited for PiP steaming over games. So many weird decisions that completely knee capped their momentum from the 360 days.

Lot of people might not feel the same way, but still. Just think how different the world was.
Huh, I didn’t think they were that new.

I was such a gaming kid growing up and I didn’t even have a passing interest in the Xbox one. I overdid it when I was young lol.
And to think new xbox comes every 6 or 7 years. 1/3 of that time had already passed and its not even available to everyone one yet 😛
It deserves more than you wiping down just the “Day One 2013” logo, clean that whole thing off!
God damn. Sometimes it feels like 2 centuries have pasted
Woow i forgot
That controller looks like it is 9 years old
I worked as a zombie at the NY launch event. Macklemore and Lewis played, that’s how long ago it was.
I feel old because I am old. This isn’t helping though, lol.

I upgraded to the One after my PS3 died..
So far, the Xbox has served me well.
Thanks, I feel almost 20 now.
Three console releases since, felt longer tbh
And what exactly have we done with our lives in that time. Feels like I spent most of it in COVID lockdown.
Adorable. Atari controllers were my teething toys.
The whole platform has been going downhill since 2012? Thank god for Steam.
I still remember the day I went to buy PS2 on the day it came out.
Fish AI
That surprisingly does not make me feel old
looks like it hasn’t been PLAYED in nine years!!!
WHAT THE ACTUAL?

Don’t you dare feed me these hurtful lies.
Hehehe I remember excitedly firing up Pong on a Christmas morning looooong ago, so yes I do feel old thanks 🙂
If that makes you feel old, I had my first game of pong for the Atari 2600 and Artillery DOS game for my old ass Amiga Computer.
As someone who only ever owned an XBOX and XBOX 360, the idea that this ‘newfangled’ XBOX I’ve never owned is 9 years old is bizarre to me.

Now I’m a PC gamer on Steam and [here is my current top 5.](https://imgur.com/a1hnO8E)

I’m tempted to downvote you for making me feel old, but I guess I should be glad that my one is still running without issue!
Only young people think 9 years is a long time.
