We&#8217;ve thrown the presentation up above so you can get all nostalgic for the era &#8211; just try not to cringe <em>too much<\/em> at some of the contents within.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve got live music, &#8216;Pimp my Ride&#8217; customisations, questionable interviews and hella-dated video effects; accumulating in what feels like a portal to a completely different era. It&#8217;s fascinating to go back and watch though, and it&#8217;s certainly an interesting look at where Microsoft and the gaming industry was at back then.<\/p>\n<p>Thinking more about that time in general though, it&#8217;s strange to think that Xbox 360 will be <em>two decades old<\/em> later this year. We still enjoy so much of its library on both <a href=\"https:\/\/www.purexbox.com\/features\/it-might-be-old-but-the-xbox-360-is-still-an-amazing-console-in-2024\">native hardware<\/a> and via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.purexbox.com\/features\/20-of-the-best-backwards-compatible-games-you-can-play-on-xbox\">backwards compatibility<\/a> to this day &#8211; it just doesn&#8217;t feel that long ago due to how timeless lots of those games are!<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, we suppose this presentation deserves to be remembered &#8211; not necessarily for the event <em>itself<\/em>, but more for the revolutionary product it introduced to the gaming world. It&#8217;ll be an even bigger party for Xbox 360 once November rolls around, but for now, lets revel in a bit of MTV nostalgia while thinking back to a <em>very, very<\/em> different time for Microsoft and Xbox.<\/p>\n<p><em>Do you remember this presentation?
