Talking Point: When Did You First Get Introduced To The World Of Xbox?

It's scary to think that we've now just entered the 24th year of Xbox's existence, but it's true - the original console first launched all the way back in November of 2001. It won't be long until it's been around for a quarter of a century!

Everyone's got a different starting point though, of course. Some of us may have been there since day one, while others may only just have picked up their first Xbox console over the past couple of years. Personally, it wasn't until the Xbox 360 generation that I became a fan, and the Xbox One era solidified that (as bizarre as that might sound to some!).

The original Xbox was a great first console if you were lucky enough to start that early - Halo and Xbox Live were game changers that sparked off everything we've seen since. Then, it was the Xbox 360 era that arguably proved most popular overall thanks to the incredible games we saw during that generation - even despite the Red Ring of Death saga.

Over the past decade-or-so, Microsoft may have stumbled here and there (the Xbox One's launch being the obvious low point), but there have still been so many reasons for people to introduce themselves to the world of Xbox - amazing games, well-designed consoles, Xbox Game Pass, backwards compatibility, Xbox Cloud Gaming and so much more!

So, when did you first get introduced to the world of Xbox? We want to hear from you in the comments below!
