My headset broke yesterday, I was told I would get a new one in 2 to3 weeks!!! Knowing that I couldn’t wait that long I decided to begin trying other methods while I wait. My first idea was to follow the ideas of some modders who have fitted female adapters to their headsets to allow them to use old Xbox headsets. However this wasn’t an option as I wasn’t sure where my microphone had been damaged.
That was when I took out my SharpGX10 to see the input on the side of it was somewhat like that of the xbox360s controller. So I went searching for the Hands free kit, after finding it I plugged it straight into my 360's wireless controller and was immediately greeted with the shouting of young, high pitched, pre adolescent Americans. Their screams despite making me cringe with pain awoke a sense of relief that I wasn’t going to wait 3weeks to tell them to shut up.
I think this should help many people who want another headset but aren’t going to spend money on one, maybe some of you know about this but I couldn’t find it on any other websites when looking for resolutions for my problem. So I hope this at least helps someone.
Xbox 360 launched 18 years ago and was a generation-defining console that invited many people to jump into gaming for the first time and connect with friends around the world. We’re thrilled people continue playing their favorite Xbox 360 games on Xbox 360, or on newer consoles via Backward Compatibility for supported titles.
"we believe in game preservation"
Remember the media reaction when PlayStation wanted to shut down the PS3 store (but then kept it open)... where is that reaction here?
RIP Xbox 360 digital store and all its games.
It really grinds my gears that they are waiting till 10 days before closing to give the best discounts and the list as of now is 100 or less titles from the massive 360 library
I should have enough points by the weekend to get £25 credit off MS, (hardly ever spend money on xb1), might look at a few of these.
The Xbox 360 store was one of the only advantages the Xbox Series consoles had over the PS5. When I got my series X, I spent more playing Xbox 360 games vs current-gen Xbox games since that was the golden era for Xbox and several titles had enhancements such as 4k resolution and fps boost.
Closing this store will now only benefit the competition.
Backward compatibility works for many games on newer consoles, but titles such as The Simpsons: Hit and Run have been left out.
From base building to swinging willies, here are the best survival games around, which include a couple of less than obvious picks.
You could use any cellphone headset in the old xbox controller
This isnt news, ive known this for months, and have taken apart my headset to make my own work.
Any hands-free works, not only sharps'.
This isnt news. Take this story down. Most handsfree headsets work with xbox and xbox360. Its common knowledge in the community. Where was the story trying to make MS look stupid 5 years ago?
