The Xbox 360 just had it's 20th anniversary. I'm not sure how I feel about it as a console today as most of the games are available on pc with only a few exclusives. I guess most of the nostalgia will be from playing online, which I never got the chance to do.

We still have demos, on Steam anyway.

Steam has a lot more demos these days than it used to, and it's great. I do not like buying, trying, and refunding games. But demos? Hell yeah. I'll try those on a whim.

Steam Nextfest became probably the most exciting gaming event thanks to the sheer abundance of demos. It's amazing.
