The Xbox 360 was officially revealed on MTV on May 12, 2005. The successor to the Xbox 360, the Xbox One, was announced on May 21, 2013. Even though the Xbox One was released on November 22, 2013, the Xbox 360 continues to be sold.
Development[change | change source]
Before Microsoft revealed the console's real name, it was called the Xbox 2, Xenon, Xbox Next, NextBox and other names[source?]. During the development, Microsoft, said it would launch the High-Definition era for video game consoles, promising visuals looks that would look better and much more real. The Xbox 360 uses standard DVD's to play games and other media.[11]

The Xbox 360 was released in the United States and Canada on November 22, 2005[12] in Europe on December 2, 2005, and in Japan on December 10, 2005. It was later launched in Malaysia, Mexico, Colombia, South Korea, Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Chile, India, Brazil, Poland, Czech Republic, and Russia. When the console was first released in North America, demand was more than the supplies and the console sold out at many stores. Many people sold the console on eBay for higher prices, and it was not until early 2006 that the Xbox 360 became more available in stores again.

Updates[change | change source]
The NXE (New Xbox Experience) update had many new features. One new feature is an avatar system. You can make the avatar look like you. The avatar is used in games and more. The menus were changed too. The NXE shows your friends and what they are doing. Another new feature is the ability to add people to an Xbox Live Party. People can talk online in a party. It does not matter if you are on the dashboard or playing another game, up to seven of your friends or anyone else can join a party. Another option is to add friends to the party and game, which will invite them to both your game and party.
Xbox Live now has Facebook, Twitter, and Last.fm. You can use them on Xbox Live, but some features are different. 1080pHigh definitionmovies are also on Xbox Live. You can pay to download them.
The most recent update on the 360 was allowing users to input a USB memory device, allowing USB drives with memory over 1 GB to be used for storing data such as avatar items, or game saves, up to a maximum of 16 GB of data.
Red Ring of Death[change | change source]
The white Arcade console breaks down a lot. When this happens, what is known as the Red Ring of Death (RRoD) appears: three of the four warning lights surrounding the power button on the console flash in red. The Red Ring of Death shows that there is a hardware problem, which usually means that the console no longer works. On later models for example, the Xbox 360 S, these three lights show that there is an over-heating problem.

2.0.14719.0[edit]
There has been an update to this version today, if we know what's it for, we can add it. --142.167.90.253 (talk) 11:05, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
I removed Skype from the list. It has been long speculated that the release date will be sometime between 2011-2012 (and we all know it didn't happen last year) -- this release has been halted due to internal politics between Microsoft and Skype. When Microsoft announces an OFFICIAL release date then it should be added back, but it's highly irresponsible for an 'encyclopedia' to promote a false release date for what is presently a vapourware product. ~QuietAndross — Preceding unsigned comment added by QuietAndross (talk • contribs) 18:56, 1 March 2012 (UTC) Xbox 360 applications[edit]
Concerning the information on the applications, rhere's already an article for this content, Xbox 360 applications. This article is about the system software, not the applications that run on it. Therefore the content is outside of the scope of this article, and unnecessarily duplicates existing information. I don't see any reason why the content should be here when it is already present at the other article, which this article already links to. - SudoGhost 09:13, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
June system update?[edit]
IPs continue to add specifics about a supposedly-already-occurred update to the dashboard software. As of yet, no source has been provided, and this update has yet to go live in North America (with the former item being the bigger issue). I've asked for page protection to get people here talking. So, will someone kindly produce a reliable source indicating that this is indeed the current version number and what its features include? Or is this someone's idea of a joke? -- 02:31, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

How about?[edit]
How about adding a certain colour to the current Xbox 360 software version, and a different colour for the beta version similar to what they did over at the iOS version history page?— Preceding unsigned comment added by TomoK12 (talk • contribs) 15:46, 16 September 2012 (UTC)
We're a file repository now?[edit]
After I noticed that edit summaries were all but hidden because the subhead names were simply too long, I took a closer look at the article. A good-faith effort was made to include links to the various software versions, many of which remain available on Microsoft's website, and the links directed users to Microsoft itself. I've gone through and removed the subhead links per WP:MOSHEAD, relocating any citations to the 'Release date' column and external links to the 'Availability' column. This should make it easier to follow edit summaries going forward.
That said, is it our duty to provide links to this software? I can't find anything in policy that definitively says we should or should not, but I am curious as to the thinking. As I said in my edit summary, I wasn't going to remove any content pending discussion on the matter. All I did was reorganize what was there. -- 19:55, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

2.0.16517.0[edit]
There is currently no reliable sources for what changes the 2.0.16517.0 beta contains. I have removed the unsourced changes and added references for the ones I could find. If you must include 'XOSC Challenge Responses' can you actually explain to the passing user (and me) what they actually are.
Users who post other changes having actually participated in the beta are probably breaking the Non Disclosure Agreement they signed up to when joining the beta program. I will continue to remove any other unsourced changes until the update becomes official.=> Spudgfsh (Text Me!) 19:41, 16 July 2013 (UTC)

About that update history[edit]
If there is a compelling and encyclopedic need to include details about past versions of the system software, could we limit it to important and/or noteworthy details? Wikipedia is not the place for complete version histories (but anyone can feel free to start your own wiki for that purpose!). —67.14.236.50 (talk) 04:07, 4 August 2015 (UTC)
Here’s a list of usable third-party sources from the changelog table, probably with widely varying weight:
Is this enough to build an update history section around? Are any significant third-party sources missing from this list? Please discuss. —67.14.236.50 (talk) 21:33, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
Sources for OS history?[edit]
Has anyone found any sources that broadly discuss the history of the system software? Or should we just slap together a paragraph of WP:Proseline about assorted unrelated updates using the sources listed above, or should we remove the section entirely? These look like our only options, short of revising Wikipedia policy like WP:NOTCHANGELOG (and I would prefer any of these options [even doing proseline] over a crufty changelog). —67.14.236.50 (talk) 01:45, 22 September 2015 (UTC)
Note: Please review WP:Proseline. If you’ve read it and you still think the practice is appropriate here, or if you just disagree with the essay, very well. But hopefully you understand why I’m pushing for something more cohesive. —67.14.236.50 (talk) 22:39, 24 September 2015 (UTC)
The newly written section (by @Cartakes) contains a lot of information about a lot of updates, but only one source for one update. It also doesn’t quite seem to be written for a general audience; for example, it drops in “the blades interface” as if that’s a term the reader should know. —67.14.236.50 (talk) 02:26, 29 September 2015 (UTC)

detailed version history removed[edit]
i realize that you guys had a discussion about it and decided to remove it. i didn't read thru but i understand that this isn't necessarily the place for a complete version history. HOWEVER, there was no other place online to find this, and now i have to go into the history to see it. PLEASE reconsider this, because frankly, this page sucks otherwise.. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.255.118.240 (talk) 19:47, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
This was a bad decision. Very helpful information. Why is Firefox, Java, Google Chrome Itunes and IOS version histories okay but not this? Seem like a Playstation fan deleted it. And reasons for deleting it I dont by at all.69.126.106.149 (talk) 00:21, 10 February 2016 (UTC)
