    RIP to the XBOX 360- Store Officially Shut Down Today

    Mary Anne ButlerBy 1 Min Read

    When was the last time you thought about XBOX 360? Months? Years? Originally launched on November 22nd, 2005 in the states, this was THE gaming machine. Designed and built by Microsoft to be the next generation of consoles, the 360 was special. Yes, PlayStation had their entries, but this particular unit really set the tone of things to come.

    It was officially discontinued in 2016, with a plan to shutter the store sometime later.

    That time is now. Today, July 29th 2024, marks the end of XBOX 360.

    You can read the official statement from Microsoft here.

    Thanks for all the memories, buddy.

    …sorry about that Red Ring of Death.

    Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief. Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence. Though she be but little, she is fierce.
