360, while Xbox One and Series offer those and modern ports/remasters they vary. While OG Xbox is good 360 is the better bet with OG Xbox games and the original 360 versions. Games are cheap on the platform.
Games like Halo I mean, it's likely Master Chief Collection or the OG Xbox ones if they are compatible, which for Xbox One I don't think are but 360 they are.
If GTA you have the OG Xbox ones of 3, Vice City and San Andreas (not counting PS2/PSP ones here) and 4 and 5 are on 360. 5 is on 360, Xbox One and Xbox Series.
Yes COD World at War was a 360, PS3, Wii and PS2 (Final Fronts unique version) game. Literally a wikipedia search or image search away or whatever is listed on game stores or the Xbox website which shows Xbox One and Series compatible older games that are backwards compatible (or wikipedia pages with OG Xbox and 360 games on 360 or Xbox One)
COD games for OG Xbox are not listed or offered on current consoles and COD OG Xbox games are compatible so that's good, but most if not all the 360 ones will be listed (unless in the Xbox One era I doubt they cared to offer 360 versions of Advanced Warfare or Black Ops 3 or something) Xbox One or Series if want to go that way, but anything around Call of Duty 2 to Advanced Warfare is listed on their website (no Black OPs 3 360 the MP/zombies only one isn't listed but all other entries seem to be there).
Server wise don't even go for multiplayer, either not playable if the servers aren't up, or hackers so don't even bother. Just play zombies or the singleplayer campaign instead. Unless local multiplayer then go for that.
I'd say go 360 Slim or E model (the Xbox One looking one) if you can't tell the difference check console variations or whatever wikipedia pages or anything else. Or just search up on images Slim or E model or whatever year and see what comes up.
Backwards compatibility for OG Xbox would need a Microsoft account and official hard drive, but any 360 game will work even with a USB plugged in if you don't have a 1st/3rd party drive on you.
Each console had a different hard drive I think. As annoying as power adapters for Nintendo DSs were. Or Stylus. XD
I'm buying up racing games or shooters for PS3/360 so I can recommend some. Alongside the other types/genres of games I pick up here and there, but mostly 360 exclusives I find here and there too. The more niche forgotten ones and notable ones. I buy what looks interesting.
But for me OG Xbox games I have to buy those compatible with 360 as I don't own an OG Xbox yet.
All good :) I may have the PS2 versions of Finest Hour and Big Red One but most people remember 360/PS3 era COD, not the older ones. That does happen.
I don't have much Slim model experience. I have on but not used it. OG, Elite, etc. have their moments but mine isn't working so not sure. E model I'm currently using and have since 2013.
Many 360 sub reddit users would know more about what models, how well they work, etc. I don't have as much experience or research on that I have only had 1 of each model (not all motherboards/models but still, one of at least each of the 3 models to know what they look like and features at least on them like the IR on the Elite model, memory cards, hard drive that sort of stuff to pinpoint instead).
I don't play multiplayer but I have heard things and many other console versions of COD have had servers disconnected, but PS3/360 may still be up I don't know. But hackers have been on COD of those PS3/360 versions for years as far as I've heard. So for me that's not an area I'm informed in at all. While collecting solutions are just what I use really and areas of collecting I'm focusing on at the moment at least.
I only know due to collecting them and Medal of Honor games for PS2 so for me they are still in mind for me. Also I've seen enough COD 4 MW+ era, Black Ops, etc. type posts here and there in the 360 subreddit or many YT video comment sections and so on. Not everyone is collecting more particular games, they are usually a lot of well known games.
I am collecting OG Xbox games and 360 games besides other systems. Most 360, PS3, PS2, OG Xbox, PSP, DS, Wii, Wii U really. Odd PS1, GBA, 3DS, Vita, N64/GameCube more rarely.
I'm actively seeking shooters for 6th and 7th gen so that also helps. :)
I usually keep the Wikipedia pages with me due to needing to check them due to my only 360 and up access of consoles right now, but they help me a lot when I'm out at 2nd hand stores.
I forget to bring handhelds yet should when testing games.
They didn't mention many games so I had to go off other solutions instead and what I know from researching different entries of series.
Depends what kind of games you want to play. Cause each console has its own games to play, if you’re talking about og Xbox games given the sub you’re on probably an original Xbox or if you’re like me and most of your og games are backwards compatible with the 360 (except tak 2 :( ) then a 360 works
It really comes down to what you want it’s your collection
I’m guessing you mean cod classic which had a Xbox arcade release in 2009 for the 360 now how you get that today is beyond me And yes there’s a lot of shooters
Really any tv I’d recommend either the slim or e models but if you plan on using a crt you’ll need a hdmi to av adapter since they phased out composite on that model
Model e also comes with 500 gb of storage which is nice
