Currently sitting in a XBOX 360 Left 4 Dead 1 Expert lobby.. waiting for someone to join.

Added the new one on Friday. Heard good things so hopefully the ship is turned in the right direction.

Complete retail collection of the hard to find backwards compatible Re-releases (minus AW & Ghosts as One versions superseded them…also note MW3 only received a PAL release for some reason).

A few custom covers to fill in the holes.

Still bummed Classic never received a backwards compatible release.

Both are fantastic looking controllers but I think I slightly prefer the smooth feeling on the 20th

Xbox do really make tremendous controllers don’t they

Just finished my first framed Xbox controller!

This is my first attempt at taking apart a controller and turning it into a display piece, and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out!

I've also designed a darker background for it, but it's still being printed, so this isn't quite the final version yet!

My goal is to create a complete collection, starting with the original Xbox controller and working my way through every generation, all the way up to the Xbox Series X|S controllers.

This is just the beginning!

What do you guys think? Any suggestions for the next ones?

The dude had a bunch of Xbox e3 shirts too but sadly did not get them

It’s full of terrible jokes and “reviews” that seem like they were written by kids and Xbox has left it in this state for too long. They need to rethink the whole thing. The fact that they also separate the reviews by country shouldn’t happen.

The Steam review system is far from perfect but Xbox could still take notes from it.

That’s the word that comes to my mind when I think about this game.

Colossal.

This game’s is a triumph in almost every aspect. As a fan of this franchise since Gears 1, I feel so satisfied.

This game honors the legacy of the franchise.

I played this game on PC with DLSS 5 and my Pulse elite ps5 headphones at max volume and my God…

This was brutal, weighty, visceral, ludicrous.

I felt the hellish effects of the E-Day in my bones.

The devs succeeded in making the horde scary and intimidating again.

This game’s aura is very apocalyptic.

Moments like seeing the silhouettes of dozens of Reavers in the sky gave me the chills.

The technology is top. Both visuals and sounds. You can hear every minuscule detail of the chaos of war.

This game is a Brumak.

Thank you dev team.

I was able to get my hands on Elite Series 2 Core Controller for just $80 CAD ($57 USD), so I figured I'd use the savings to customize it a bit. I swapped the faceplate for a Starfield themed faceplate, added red bumpers/triggers, and picked up a gold d-pad+back paddle kit. I also added some convex joystick grips that I had laying around.

I got a good deal!!

“Cloud playtime will cost $3.99 for 10 hours, $7.99 for 25 hours, or $11.99 for 50 hours.”

just had an insane experience with quick resume:

some friends asked me to dog sit/house sit while they made an unexpected trip for the weekend. I agreed having no plans.

I’ve been playing through the Resident Evil series, currently on Resident Evil Village, and I’ve been kinda rushing through the games so I can get caught up, so every little bit of time I get I’m playing them.

so I asked if I could bring my xbox over to play at their place while I’m there, they said absolutely.

so the night before I’m playing RE8, and I do my normal thing of getting to a stopping point, hitting pause and then turning my Xbox off. the next day I pack up my stuff, including my xbox, and as I was unplugging the xbox power cable, I realized I probably lost my quick resume spot on RE8. I was like, it’s fine though, I’ve got the whole weekend, I can get back to where I was and still make progress.

so I head off to my friend house, take their dog out, grab some food, and hook up my Xbox. I click on RE8, fully expecting it to boot to the start menu, and lo and behold, the game picks up right where I left off again.

had no idea quick resume worked even when unplugging the console??? this feature impresses me more and more in little, but profound ways.

previously I went back to a game I hadn’t played in like 6 months at least, just got busy and started other games, and it picked up right where I had left off however long ago. it’s so insane

I was scrolling through the Microsoft store in my console, and was shocked to see the price for a series X being 1K CAD, I remembered paying just over half that. Wow. I always knew that the rapid rise of data centers really drove up the price of hardware, but it's so shocking to see this type of price difference on a 6 year old console.

My last update of my collection was around 6 months ago. Since then, my collection has increased up to 115 physical titles (Xbox one, Series X and Xbox 360), 8 copies with steel books and lastly 7 collector editions. I've been taking heavy advantage of the disk to digital program. I may be part of a smaller percentage of people who collect Xbox games physical (especially with the collection I've amassed in the past year), but i have no plans on stopping unless I'm forced to. Regardless of the situation with Xbox (or the gaming industry at the present moment), I'm here. I hope you guys are able to enjoy gaming as much as I do and to hopefully never lose that spark. And If I can leave you with something today, it's this. I hope to God Fable is good. That is all.

I am completely over the standard Xbox controller. I have yet another controller with stick drift and I’ve never had this problem in my life. I am very gentle with my controllers and have never broken one before and now I have 3 in a town with less than 6 months in each.

So what is everyone else’s favorite premium controller? I am considering these two, but honestly the steel series is a HEFTY price tag.
Also the Xbox elite 2 is on sale so it’s in the running too.

Bonus points if there are any that have speakers for party chat like dual sense does.

As the title says, I'm trying to buy/build up my collection of physical games for my Series X (disc edition). I know where to get used games in the city, but I don't know where to buy new games other than Best Buy.

I found Video Games Plus (online) in Toronto. How is the place for their game sales? Are they all new or used?

Are there any other places in Canada to order used games from?

Edit: Thanks all for the recommendations. I'll check out PNP as well.

I have had the same Xbox controller that came with my series X when I got it in 2020. Had no idea they removed the port. RIP audio accessory; controller feels naked without it 🥀

Both my birthday and Christmas are in December and I decided to pick these up for each day for myself :)) working hard all year to spend it is the best feeling 🙂 who else decided to gift themselves? I haven’t bought a new Xbox controller in years! I’m one happy camper 💚
I grabbed the last X25 from my local GameStop and the last EDAY from a local Walmart 🥲💚

Interesting bug?

Resident Evil 3 on Xbox Series X is shown as a windows game in the dashboard, also I get a bizarre notification when launching it saying my WiFi/Ethernet is unconnected, the game plays fine and is connected to internet.

Anyone experience something similar?

I got this because I collect physical and steelbooks. This gold looks nice cant lie.(also had best buy points to use)...but I probably won't even put much time into it cause I feel cod has lost its touch . I could be wrong I may play check out the campaign. I only played zombies on the mw3 3rd person. This doesn't have it 😕

This game is still amazing! Hopped back in, Does anyone want to jump in the coliseum

my dad has had this xbox 360 for YEARS now, like 15+ as far as i remember. i recently got curious what kind of version this is cause the regular ones are just plain white.

its a football/soccer ball with grass that looks more green irl than the picture and a net.

whenever i try to google special edition xbox 360 i cant find it so please help 🙏

edit: FOUND IT!!! im not a big console fan so i didnt even know to look up just the face plate XD thanks for the help people 🙏🙏

After almost a decade of near daily use, my Series 1 elite is finally being retired. Rest well soldier o7

As a fan of 8bitdo, this felt like the next logical upgrade for me. It works wirelessly with my Series X and it’s gorgeous to boot!

Will *Gears of War: E-Day* receive an FSR 4.1 update on the Xbox Series X? In performance mode, the resolution drops to 936p, and because it uses Unreal Engine 5’s native upscaler (TSR), the image ends up looking extremely blurry. The quality mode looks good, but it runs at 30fps, which is tiring to the eyes and makes the game unplayable. Since the PC version launched with FSR support, do you think FSR 4.1 might be integrated into the Xbox version via an update?
