Remember faceplates? I really wanted this one:

took a picture before the dashboard changed.
I still got the making of thing on my xbox, can't find it up on youtube though.
I really miss the Blade UI. It was simple, easy to navigate, little fluff.
This video? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bN_3w75zoE
I remember watching this before launch and then on my 360. I assume yours also came with that music playlist, too?
Best demo ever. That and Dead Rising, anyways.
I've just realised, some of those menus look like they'd be *perfect* for Kinect navigation if 2.0 is as half as accurate as most think it will be.Genesis:
I remember being blown away by Gotham TV as well. I could actually watch other people race! And never mind that in PGR3 you could walk around your garage and check out all your cars (and play Geometry Wars, obv).Reminds me of playing PGR at launch and getting in Gotham TV for the first time. Was such an amazing concept then I thought.
Do not recall there being so much screen space taken up by ads.
Man I miss the blades and no ads.
I feel like the Xbox 360 went backwards as the gen progressed, contrary to the PS3. I just don't have any desire to get whatever MS has in store for nextgen, last decade 360 is still my favorite part of this gen for me by far but the current state of the console gives me no hope for the Xbox next gen.
I liked the feature that you could hook up an iPod and play the music from it on your 360.
The infrequent updates to the backward compatibility were always a fun lottery to see if your favorite game would be included this time. Looking forward to the weekly XBLA games, shame they still throttle the releases to two a week.
One of the most interesting Xbox experiences I have was to watch the consoles get made in the factory in China. I was watching them go by on the production line and thinking "Someones going to really love that console, and that one, and that one"
You forgot Frame City Killer
Man I miss the blades and no ads.

Says the MS employee who thinks Win8 booting into the Metro start screen is fine...Press the big guide button in the center of the controller. Nothing has changed.
Still needs a sequel.. So very badly...
I'm so sad to have sold my copy I should try to grab one on ebay or something.. For collecting's sake..
Sorry if this question is dumb, and apologies if already asked, I see it says in the OP's first picture about PGR...
'With Gotham TV gamers can watch any player in the world on live news feeds'. I take this never took off? Sounds similar to the Share function on the PS4, and allowing others to watch you playing a game.
How did it work out?
Yes, yes and YES. Sega's shutting down of the servers still hurts. Gah, playing this was easily one the high points of this generation. Such an amazing game.
It was more like a spectator mode of a live game. You'd have a bunch of Gamertags of peoples games, and when you hopped in you were in a forced replay camera.
As good as that sounds, I just want to say party chat is the best thing in socializing in game. Party chat, was made by god himself I believe.The early xbl community was sweet, good times were had, im a bit sad we got live party chat in a way as it was fun to go into a game and talk to random people at the start. Loved 360 first console that lived upto the hype day one and blew me away, i dont think that will ever happen again. I bought more or less every single launch title on 360 and xbla. And yet i sat there playing hexic for the first hours.

They did?
That totally sucks. I was actually gonna get a used copy to give the online another whirl and see if anyone still played..
Game like this would always have some harcore community that tends to stick along.
So sad..
This was really a good original IP.
