Man, I've been on a nostalgia trip. I remember opening my presents Christmas morning 2006. I remember setting everything up and being greeted with the blades dashboard. I think the reason why I like it was the simplicity and sleek Ui design. There were no advertisements taking up majority of the screen, no tile boxes. Just 6 separate rows for everything you needed.
The Midway sticker, copy of Stranglehold, and overall condition of the unit implies this may have been a free console that was given to members of the development team as a thank you for their work on the game. My guess is that the CA number on the sticker is some kind of employee number or possibly a location reference. Perhaps the CA stands for California or Canada?
i collect machines like these, If it has a developer/publisher label on the corner like that, it 99% of the time means it was either an in-house console used for testing the game on a retail console, or it would be used to showcase games at press events or expos like E3 Etc.
Considering the excellent condition on it and the controller, I'd say there latter - Could have been used at an expo a few times and then put back in the box as there was no longer any use for it.
The midway asset tag implies that this 360 was purchased by Midway. It might have been used for play testing, or more likely was purchased through Midway and was given to an employee who bought it through Midway.
I miss the Blades Dashboard so much, I just loved how it matched the 360's asthetic and the sounds when swiping up and down the Blades When the NXE dashboard came out I really hated it as it lost those qualities I liked
@@nesyboi9421I do want to try to mod my 360 to downgrade back to the older dashboards to see what they was like when I buy another 360 I’m not attached to
Ah the 360 Core. Unlike the more premium model, it had a white CD tray bezel and it came with a wired controller. It was later replaced by the Arcade variant.
Man I remember calling a Gamestop near me in January 2006 asking if they had any 360s available. They had one and it was the core system; so I rushed there and bought it with a memory card and Quake 4. Had some great memories with this system!
I did the same, but mine red ringed after a week or so, i exchanged it for another one which red ringed after about a month, third one lasted just a little over a year at which point the eb games warranty i bought was up, so i purchased another one used which ofcourse red ringed after a short time, i took it to a repair shop which they charged me $50 to repair, well orcourse after repair it lasted less then a week, i took it back to the repair shop 2-3 more times at which point they gave up lol…..so i bought another one, guess what happened to it lol…last 360 i bought in 2009 and it still works to this day….even though it gave me quiet a few problems, still my favorite system of all time!
@@duuke4618 Dang, that's unfortunate. Mine that I got near launch lasted like 3 or 4 years. But one that I got from my uncle that he barely played only lasted a month or so. It was definitely like playing the lottery owning one lol.
@@duuke4618 I got the model that came out after this one, and it red ringed several times in its life, but always turned on again fine after a few minutes then would last a few months to a year before red ringing again. The tray got real slow though and eventually it stopped reading discs.
@@Coreisus basicly models which were released before mid-2008 had a 60-70% failing rate….those that were released staring end of 2008 are good quality, like I said my 2009 model still works, altough the disk sometimes get stuck, but i rarely use disks anyway
@@duuke4618 I replaced mine with the 360 E(the one that looks like a small XBone). But it was still working when I replaced it. I betcha if I could find the power cord it would still work.
I am assuming that is an asset tag from Midway. Used for tracking inventory of items owned within the company. The scannable upc bar would have information of what department the Xbox was assigned to. I think that adds to its value. That’s gaming history right there. Good find!
I bought my blades dashboard console last year, it wasn't as nice as yours but it means a lot to me nonetheless. What was cool about it is that I actually bought it on its 15th birthday completely on accident. I bought it on Nov 15th 2020 and the manufacturer date was Nov 15th 2005.
I find your last statement to be rather odd. The Xbox 360s were manufactured from 2002-2011. The blades dashboard was first released with version 1.28 of the dashboard. Upon further research I found that this update was released on Nov. 14 initially for already existing Xbox systems. When I looked up the manufacturer website for IE Systems, the factory used to produce Xbox systems, I found that batches made from Nov. 12-19 2005 actually did not ship with the blades dashboard but the experimental slice dashboard that was later phased out only 20 days after release.
It definatly was updated to the 2007 dashboard and was made in 2006. It has the windows vista media center logo which vista wasn't realised until 2006.
I had an arcade 360 in the UK that I got for Christmas in 2008. Came with a memory card and the blades dashboard. I was honestly amazed as a kid that my memory card was 256 MBs as my PS2 only had 8. Took me a good few months to get it onto Live so I was surprisingly familiar with the blades dashboard before which made this video surprisingly nostalgic. I really miss this era of UI design and packaging, it just felt so much more alive.
My brother was born 1 day after this console was last updated, October 7th 2007. Hard to think that far back honestly, and amazed that's how old the Xbox 360 is.
My buddy got one on launch day in 2005. Kmart had a midnite launch and you could only get in if you had a ticket, which you got when you pre ordered and fully paid off the the core or the "fancy" one as people called it then. They only had about 100 units. My friend waited in line for a few hours in the snow in a long line which went from the parking lot all the way to electronics which took forever. People tried to sneak in without tickets and where taken out. That day later his friend at work told him his edition, the fancy/ pro one, was selling for one thousand on eBay. He called me debating but decided to keep it. His edition got the red ring early sadly. I myself waited and picked up the slim edition on launch.
The red ring happens from the board heating and cooling down over and over again so if its new u wont get a rr out of the box refuardless of how old it is. U will however get one over time on this model
That is the primary cause, but not the only cause. Tin whiskers from the lead free solder bridging the BGA connections in the GPU and CPU can cause the issues also.
Those core units support HD output through the component cable. Also beware, some games actually force it to update to the new dashboard, so be careful what game you test it with.
As one who had an arcade console in 2007, its uh, dead sign that its been used for a while; the stickers from the faceplate and controller are missing. it normally has one saying "Dont move console with disc in tray" and one on the controller of a finger pointing to the guide button. I remember sticking the disc drive warning on my old CRT tv lmao. Edit: its also missing the 64mb memory card that came with it
This was the cheapest unit they sold. It had no HDD and came with the wired controller. Notice the disk tray door was white matching the system. The more expensive version with HDD and wireless controller, the tray door was chrome. When I got my 360 we were fresh off the memory card era. We had memory cards from ps1, ps2, dream cast, and Xbox. So I bought this version and a 64mb memory card thinking I was good to go. While it saved my games I couldnt install many things on the console. Like the avatar creator,
When I bought my 360 Arcade back in 2007 I had a Wireless Controller and the Memory Card that came with it… Looked like a white little micro chip! 😅 Ahh the Blades take me back… Especially when I bought the 360 I got Bioshock when Bioshock was a 360 Exclusive back then… still have it. And the first Assassins Creed! Later on I was able to add the 20GB Hard Drive on top, then I went to get the WiFi Adapter! Man the 2 Piece and a Biscuit Days at least now we have everything we need in the Box…. Kind of… More storage could have been a thing when making the newer Systems!
Man this brings back lots of great memories from my childhood, I bought a second hand core 360 circa October 2007 with money I used saved over the summer working various jobs as a teenager. It was exactly like this one, plain white, no hdd and a wired controller but I had an additional 256MB memory card for my gamer profile and save games. Once I got the console I modded it and used to burn bootleg games onto dual layer dvds which were extremely hard to find where I lived and had to order them via ebay and wait a couple of weeks for a batch of dvds. Yes I know it was wrong but it was the only way I could ever afford playing games back then with my limited resources. It red ringed on my in 2009 I think. Never bought a 360 since but I'm currently trying to play all of the games I missed on my Series S. ❤
I used to burn games for modded 360 as well. I bought a computer and the 360 from a guy back in 2013 who would mod the consoles and set everything up on the PC so you could burn games. I had GTA weeks before the release. I spoiled it like an asshole for all my friends. LoL.
@@justinward7331 I remember playing GTA IV on my 360 for the first time and how my mind was blown by the big graphical jump that was from 3, Vice City and San Andreas.
I remember the green box was called the arcade version I think and it was like a base model. The white box was called the premium and came with a wireless controller and a hard drive for $100 more
I grew up with the NXC dashboard, I was too young to use it in 2005 when we got our 360 (born on 2002) so when the NXC dash came out I was allowed to use the 360 since my brothers only let me use the ps2 and gamecube prior to that
When I first got my 360 it was on the blades dashboard but of course that's when 360 was still the current console and I wanted to be able to play with my friends online so I immediately updated it
I have a nostalgic feeling for the blades dash cos my 1st 360 had it. We didn't have Xbox live as well and I remember we bought a new game which installed the avatar dashboard and that is probably my favourite dashboard the 1 after blades.
Wow that's really cool! I never experienced the blades dashboard because I got an xbox 360 in 2012 but it looks great! I also really like the first NXE dashboard too.
I'm getting nostalgic halo memories.. also you should be able to change your home menu to the old one or previous menus/dashboard in the past. that'd be a cool addition
11:18 it doesn't let you change the settings because you are using the composite video AV cable, which only supports 480i and doesn't support any HDTV settings. A YPbPr component video cable will allow for progressive scan up to 1080p.
I’ve been wondering when I got my Xbox 360 for so long, and I only just now thought “why not just look up when the menu styles changed?” Because I remember the blade dashboard I think? I remember when it changed and didn’t have the “flipping” menus anymore, but I had one of the black Xbox 360s
I do like seeing these older consoles get some light, however I knew from the back of the box this wasn't going to be a first gen 360 as it showed GTA IV on the the rear of the box. whish wasn't announce until mid 2007.
i remember in early 2006, i went to eb games. Traded in my old xbox, ps2, all the games and accessories for both. Got enough store credit for the core system, memory card, quake 4, and rockstar table tennis. Had to make do as a 12-13 yr old
The PS2/OG Xbox and the Xbox 360/PS3 are the two best generations of gaming. No micro transactions, quality games, quality DLC, the best multiplayer, etc. The PS2 era was my all time favorite.
I know they put in the description that it was "brand new" but due to it being an open box most likely the seller tested the system to make sure that it worked before it was shipped out. So you wouldn't have any problems if it did not work. So technically it could have never been used for any gameplay to word it a little better.
I had a memory card for my first 360. It was 700 something MB. It's about the same size as a PS1 memory card with a different connection type. If all you needed was to make an account and save your game then it would do you just fine.
It's a used console, definitely not brand new but it is in great condition, clean, working order and for you it has the classic blades operating system. At $300 dollars though it's overpriced simply because it's not brand new. A used 360 "blades" console I'd say $200 but keep it safe, it will increase in price over time.
Game console was "brand new" Has a demo unit sticker (they looked like what i saw at GameStop. I could just be wrong honestly) Has a game from Midway The coincidences are strong. Hopefully someone found out what it is.
i remember when i was younger and i had a xbox 360 manufactured in 2006 and by the end of my first 360 life span i was using a butter knife to open my disc drive im not too sure how it broke in the first place granite i was younger but i took care of my consoles and games. good times
Yeah I couldn't remember at first if it was the marketplace tab or the Xbox live tab. I remember scrolling through the marketplace tab on my computer before I had an Xbox 360 lol. Looking at all of the demos I could download for free
Wait a moment I think that’s isn’t a core system bc no hard drive and disc drive tray cover is white not glossy chrome so suggesting that’s a arcade model in a core box
id definitely leave that unit alone and not use it. it was definitely a midway console bought by them to dev and test games. id not even turn it on. its a xenon motherboard with the 90nm cpu/gpu. those things RROD all the time. i dont even know if microsoft will still repair them or not anymore, even though there was a huge stink about all the units having RROD and failing. the fact that the casing looks that clean and has that midway product asset tag means it was never returned to microsoft, ever. if it had for any reason it would have had that sticker removed and been fitted with an opus motherboard which would have a 65nm cpu and 90nm gpu with no hdmi. but even those get RROD. my current xbox 360 i purchased brand new and i checked the production sticker on it before purchase and its a jasper console with hdmi, the manufacture date gives it away. i bought it in 2010. in 2021 its still kicking with no RROD error EVER!
I actually usued memory cards for the xbox 360, funny thing is that it was the first memory card that I've bought for a console, never had one for my old PS1 xD I had to replay games all'over again if I shut down the console.
I wonder what Bill Gates was thinking let's make a console to compete with the PlayStation 3 but let's make it worse with no memory and no HDMI no Wi-Fi adapter wired controller 😂
Why would the seller have to open the Xbox to make sure everything was there and like new? If it's like new ita factory sealed. So you know everything is in there. Because it's still sealed. ??? That is not a like new console. May be in great condition but it was opened and probably played.
I stumbled across a Halo 3 edition Xbox 360 unopened and the arcade Xbox 360 unopened 4 years ago. I opened the Arcade and sure enough it was brand new with the blades dashboard. I still have the Halo 3 edition. Probably won't be opening that one.
I remember when you would put the AV cable in the back of the original Xbox 360 it had the most satisfying click , I think even the original Xbox had it as well , but it was alway like AHHHH , after you put that cable in the back of the 360 , I loved it 👍👍👍✌️✌️✌️
i used to have a memory card, i thought i was ballin when i got a harddrive for the first time. i had the "arcarde edition xbox" it seems to be similar to the core edition, except mine came with a wireless controller and a memory card. i live in australia so im guessing we got different "trim levels" if you will
I used to have a 360 with a blades dashboard but it would red light of death every time I booted it up and took me like ten minutes to get past every time, I got rid of it and I don’t know if it was worth anything with the red light of death anyways, but I got it for 5 dollars CAD at a thrift store so I don’t think I expected anything different
2 ปีที่แล้ว +1
I wanted to have 360 with blades but as soon as the rrod started to spread on all these consoles i didnt bough it. I waited some time and i bought phat Xbox 360 Premium in 2009 which was newer so I knew it wouldn't die and it didnt died. I own it to this day and still playing on it.
Was in contact with old midway employee apparently it's a stock and inventory sticker unit must have been sold to employee after the end of development of a game and no longer needed
Back to 2006 receipt Black Clothes Emo Hairstyle Xbox360 WITH Blade Dashboard. I have a Xbox360 WITH Blades Dashboard too. I feel so Young by Starting Thiy console 10minutes later, i realize, i'm in 2021 and i got sad.😂
I remember walking in the house and going upstairs to get on the original xbox in my brother room and I see aa 360 sittin there. I don't know why we had it but we did and I was happy asl my dad bought hella games for us. A friend of the family had bought us the 360.
Naah I do not remember the og 360 coming with a wired controller. I can vaguely remember stealing then later upgrading to swapping all cable remote batteries around the crib
Was this console worth $300??

When I first got my 360 it was on the blades dashboard but of course that's when 360 was still the current console and I wanted to be able to play with my friends online so I immediately updated it
Yeahh you had to do it. I think the only ones left on blades are the consoles that are still new or people just stopped playing (or have RROD LOL)
Anyone else notice how the Xbox is from 05’ well it shows GTA 4 on the box which came out in 08’?
I like the nxe dashboard it just hits different plus I have a 2010 xbox 360s launch it still has nxe so it's good to look back from time to time
I have a nostalgic feeling for the blades dash cos my 1st 360 had it. We didn't have Xbox live as well and I remember we bought a new game which installed the avatar dashboard and that is probably my favourite dashboard the 1 after blades.
Wow that's really cool! I never experienced the blades dashboard because I got an xbox 360 in 2012 but it looks great! I also really like the first NXE dashboard too.
I'm getting nostalgic halo memories..
also you should be able to change your home menu to the old one or previous menus/dashboard in the past. that'd be a cool addition
Man, the hardware design STILL holds up.
I can't help but wonder if my og launch 360 still has the blades dash or not. It's just sitting in my office closet collecting dust.
Ohh might be worth a check
The music player on these things were amazing
I’d just play music and watch the visuals for hours
it's scary the value anything "collectible" gains. A used 360 with controllers and games sell for 30-40$ on marketplace.
I preordered the Premium 360 for launch, it came with a wireless controller, chrome finish on the disc tray and a 20gb hdd.
Microsoft should have us choose which dashboards we wanna use for Series X. I'd choose blades.
11:18 it doesn't let you change the settings because you are using the composite video AV cable, which only supports 480i and doesn't support any HDTV settings. A YPbPr component video cable will allow for progressive scan up to 1080p.
I’ve been wondering when I got my Xbox 360 for so long, and I only just now thought “why not just look up when the menu styles changed?” Because I remember the blade dashboard I think? I remember when it changed and didn’t have the “flipping” menus anymore, but I had one of the black Xbox 360s
I do like seeing these older consoles get some light, however I knew from the back of the box this wasn't going to be a first gen 360 as it showed GTA IV on the the rear of the box. whish wasn't announce until mid 2007.
i remember in early 2006, i went to eb games. Traded in my old xbox, ps2, all the games and accessories for both. Got enough store credit for the core system, memory card, quake 4, and rockstar table tennis. Had to make do as a 12-13 yr old
Brings back to many memories, I had a launch day console. I also suffered though the red ring of death.
Idk how I came across your channel, but watching you open that box surprised that the 360 only had wired controllers back then makes me feel old😂
The PS2/OG Xbox and the Xbox 360/PS3 are the two best generations of gaming. No micro transactions, quality games, quality DLC, the best multiplayer, etc. The PS2 era was my all time favorite.
my guess is that the console was given to midway employees but the one who got this one already had a 360 so just left it for a while maybe.
I know they put in the description that it was "brand new" but due to it being an open box most likely the seller tested the system to make sure that it worked before it was shipped out. So you wouldn't have any problems if it did not work. So technically it could have never been used for any gameplay to word it a little better.
It was updated August 2007 so even if the seller did test it, it was used 15 years ago regardless.
I had a memory card for my first 360. It was 700 something MB. It's about the same size as a PS1 memory card with a different connection type. If all you needed was to make an account and save your game then it would do you just fine.
Ps2 memory card was only 8MB unless you got an unofficial one
@@jrob0021 Yep lol. I had several 8MB PS2 memory cards. No need to swap with 360 memory cards.
I’m back in high school right now. This is a trip
May have been sold to a Midway employee for a discount, the same way microsoft sold games at a discount to employees.
Told I wanted a 360 on launch day. He didn't want to , but he had no choice. It was an OG call
I mainly remember the Kinect nxe menu before the metro update happened
It's a used console, definitely not brand new but it is in great condition, clean, working order and for you it has the classic blades operating system. At $300 dollars though it's overpriced simply because it's not brand new. A used 360 "blades" console I'd say $200 but keep it safe, it will increase in price over time.
Careful if you want to keep the blades dash i think some of the newer games come with a dash update on disk.
That is true. Some games contain the update.
Me: I don't feel old at all.
Jacob R: It doesn't have HDMI. I guess that's how things were back in the day.
Me: Someone hand me my walker...
You could remove the hard drive, plug it in a pc and look at the running time it has on it.
doesn't have one. It used flash storage
only 4gb reserved for the os
Game console was "brand new"
Has a demo unit sticker (they looked like what i saw at GameStop. I could just be wrong honestly)
Has a game from Midway
The coincidences are strong. Hopefully someone found out what it is.
i remember when i was younger and i had a xbox 360 manufactured in 2006 and by the end of my first 360 life span i was using a butter knife to open my disc drive im not too sure how it broke in the first place granite i was younger but i took care of my consoles and games. good times
that exact model 360 was the first one I had bro! this is nostalgic! I played Forza Motorsport 2, and Minecraft. Can't remember other games.
To correct you, the original blades dashboard didn't have the marketplace blade only Xbox live games media and settings
Yeah I couldn't remember at first if it was the marketplace tab or the Xbox live tab. I remember scrolling through the marketplace tab on my computer before I had an Xbox 360 lol. Looking at all of the demos I could download for free
Wait a moment I think that’s isn’t a core system bc no hard drive and disc drive tray cover is white not glossy chrome so suggesting that’s a arcade model in a core box
The box is not its original one then, as you had GTA4 on it and you said the console was a 2006 model.
id definitely leave that unit alone and not use it. it was definitely a midway console bought by them to dev and test games. id not even turn it on. its a xenon motherboard with the 90nm cpu/gpu. those things RROD all the time. i dont even know if microsoft will still repair them or not anymore, even though there was a huge stink about all the units having RROD and failing. the fact that the casing looks that clean and has that midway product asset tag means it was never returned to microsoft, ever. if it had for any reason it would have had that sticker removed and been fitted with an opus motherboard which would have a 65nm cpu and 90nm gpu with no hdmi. but even those get RROD. my current xbox 360 i purchased brand new and i checked the production sticker on it before purchase and its a jasper console with hdmi, the manufacture date gives it away. i bought it in 2010. in 2021 its still kicking with no RROD error EVER!
I actually usued memory cards for the xbox 360, funny thing is that it was the first memory card that I've bought for a console, never had one for my old PS1 xD I had to replay games all'over again if I shut down the console.
I wonder what Bill Gates was thinking let's make a console to compete with the PlayStation 3 but let's make it worse with no memory and no HDMI no Wi-Fi adapter wired controller 😂
Why would the seller have to open the Xbox to make sure everything was there and like new? If it's like new ita factory sealed. So you know everything is in there. Because it's still sealed. ??? That is not a like new console. May be in great condition but it was opened and probably played.
My favorite dashboard was The current dashboard And also the blades
3:04 We all us know that xbox 360 come with Red lights instead of Green lights
My questions with those types of apps is “How do they make money?”
My favorite is the Kinect NXE, Legacy NXE and Blades
The core 360 (No HDD) came with Wire controller! The 20 gig HDD 360 came with Wireless
I mean there was the blades dashboard and then there were 2 or 3 nearly identical ones
I stumbled across a Halo 3 edition Xbox 360 unopened and the arcade Xbox 360 unopened 4 years ago. I opened the Arcade and sure enough it was brand new with the blades dashboard. I still have the Halo 3 edition. Probably won't be opening that one.
I remember when you would put the AV cable in the back of the original Xbox 360 it had the most satisfying click , I think even the original Xbox had it as well , but it was alway like AHHHH , after you put that cable in the back of the 360 , I loved it
👍👍👍✌️✌️✌️
i used to have a memory card, i thought i was ballin when i got a harddrive for the first time. i had the "arcarde edition xbox" it seems to be similar to the core edition, except mine came with a wireless controller and a memory card. i live in australia so im guessing we got different "trim levels" if you will
I used to have a 360 with a blades dashboard but it would red light of death every time I booted it up and took me like ten minutes to get past every time, I got rid of it and I don’t know if it was worth anything with the red light of death anyways, but I got it for 5 dollars CAD at a thrift store so I don’t think I expected anything different
I wanted to have 360 with blades but as soon as the rrod started to spread on all these consoles i didnt bough it. I waited some time and i bought phat Xbox 360 Premium in 2009 which was newer so I knew it wouldn't die and it didnt died. I own it to this day and still playing on it.
Good call. I got my 360 in 2009 as well
You had it on standard and didn't switch it to wide-screen when you had the chance? Unforgivable.
Was in contact with old midway employee apparently it's a stock and inventory sticker unit must have been sold to employee after the end of development of a game and no longer needed
It was probably distributed to Midway, but never opened
10k more and you're at 200k subs congrats!
Thank you
That version of the Xbox 360 is meant to fail big time because the motherboard had issues thus you would get the red ring of death
Using memory cards on this was a thing back in the day and still is a thing now.
For Xone, PS4 and Wii U it was HDDs, little did we know were back with memory cards…
Except now our memory cards are 1TB lol
Lol. The memory card storage sizes back then weren't even close to 1TB since they didn’t have that capability yet.
That midway sticker means that it’s property of midway
Good god I missed the Blades Dashboard.
Back to 2006 receipt

Xbox360 WITH Blade Dashboard.
I have a Xbox360 WITH Blades Dashboard too.
I feel so Young by Starting Thiy console
10minutes later, i realize, i'm in 2021 and i got sad.😂
I remember walking in the house and going upstairs to get on the original xbox in my brother room and I see aa 360 sittin there. I don't know why we had it but we did and I was happy asl my dad bought hella games for us. A friend of the family had bought us the 360.
Back in thos days.... Dam I'm old!
bruh, I was so strapped on storage & money, i had an 256 mb memory card that could just fit the halo 3 maps on it.
I loved the old 360 UI.
Same
Question: How is this console from 2006 when there are screenshots from GTA IV shown on the package, a game which was released in 2008?
Naah I do not remember the og 360 coming with a wired controller. I can vaguely remember stealing then later upgrading to swapping all cable remote batteries around the crib
This bring back hella memories but I had a big memory unit on mines
lol i had to punch the top of the console for the disc drive to open, good times with skate 2.
Hahaha yeah I think everyone had to do that at some point in time
@@jrob0021 mine started doing that when I have no disc in after moving it with tray open great
I had one of these without the HDMI. lol
I believe it was like, 500 MB. it held me over until o was able to get a hard drive.
Looks like my childhood Christmas Day
