The Xbox 360

Let's face it, the 360 was the best part of this generation of consoles. It had games on games on games. There had to be at least 360 games, but we're not sure on that. If only we didn't have to deal with the infamous red ring of death! This week, we're looking back to 2005. A magical year filled with 360 things to talk about. Sorry if using 360 like that isn't very funny, but I really doubt you're reading this...
