The news of the suspended further production of the Xbox 360 is not the end of the world, and a great opportunity to give ourselves to reflect on the seventh generation consoles.
Probably most of us have some memories of its predecessor the Xbox One, but only the – seemingly – minor note realizes how positive and the key was last ten years.
Since November 2007, when I bought the Xbox 360, it’s been a long time. This is evidenced not only a large collection of over 180 games, but the number of these pads and the same model of the console.
Part of the collection is scattered on the balcony
I started with white, large , the classic version, which I have great affection, even though it was the most flawed. She survived the faulty drive, two “red rings of death”, and even a fall from the height of the desk. A true veteran!
After a while, I mentioned tired equipment on the black Elite model. Class and elegance in itself, even though the volume of the drive, reminiscent of warming engines F16, led eventually to replace “elite” to the slim version. The latter still proudly hold the TV.
Replacing the consoles are just the tip of the iceberg. Not counting the pads, which destroyed and enriched with a charger. Kinect bought on release, and even had a good time at the games movement.
It’s all just a nostalgic memory, but there is something else. Glow current generation easily overshadows the fact that no previous things might look very different.
version slim compared to the first model. Small, quiet and does not heat up!
It is thanks to Microsoft’s console is a standard headset to communicate with other users. It was here that I met great companions with whom to play today – and I can not imagine now play in front of the TV without long conversations with friends, sitting on the other side of the screen.
The most important thing was the game. Hundreds of hours spent at the excellent titles, both exclusive and multiplatform. Almost like I still remember the first Gears of War and excitement associated with the system covers. Forza Motorsport 2, which showed that not only Gran Turismo aspires to simulators. It is impossible to forget about Alan Wake.
The first Assassin’s Creed, Borderlands, and of course Mass Effect. For the first Dark Souls my pad survived a violent encounter with the wall. Titles, which appeared at the beginning of generation, and yet their loud echo is reflected to this day.

Best Shooting For each something cool. 
I will never forget all the adventure, excitement caused ckliwymi scenes and joint adventures in the multiplayer modes. It was the best period for holders of consoles and daily wearing this recall looking at my boxed collection in the living room.
Phil Spencer ensure that Xbox Live and support servers for Xbox 360 will still continue, and the holders of the Xbox they will gain more titles in backwards compatibility. This does not change the fact that the announcement of the completion of the production of “three hundred and sixty” is really the definitive farewell to the former, a great generation.
Ten years is an impressive result, and no doubt the time the huge development of the video game market. Awareness of the end of this cycle produces some incomprehensible sadness and melancholy. In the decade after changing not only video games, but we change ourselves. I wonder if this generation will eventually also enough positive emotions.
