Was just going through some Old files on my PC (I somehow have some old shit stored).. and I found 4 pages from an old Xbox 360: The Official Xbox Magazine. It was from issue 4 in 2006. I can´t seem to find a copy of it, but I found a old Wiki that specializes in these kind of magazines. And that tells me that the pages I found are from a 6 page spread called "Xbox 360 Destroys..." - 6 pages (58-63)
Xbox 360 is your new everything! There is no need for a PC, MP3 players have been assimilated, and soon Xbox 360 will replace your Sky TV box too!

I just thought I would share these pages here.. because .. lol they are really fun to look at now almost 14 years later.. and it is a fun article/advert or whatever it was back then.
the first two pages are unfortunately missing.. but here they are..

The write up for the Gamecube isn't even funny(much like the rest of it) and is just straight up offensive.

Wow, that was cringe to the extreme. Sounds like it was written by those hardcore Xbox fanboys on YouTube making videos for clicks.

The Official Playstation and Xbox magazines of the early 2000s are so difficult to read nowadays without laughing.

Can show this to those in the Business Insider thread that claimed there were no media articles proclaiming MS the winner before Gen 7 started lol.

Holy shit @that iPod segment:

"Enjoy it while it lasts Apple. Xbox 360 is bigger, whiter and cooler than your metrosexual little music box....."

Wow...

So much cringe... But I think at the same time very representative of the Xbox "Xtreeeeeme Bro!" culture heralded by Balmer.

Not a fan of Spencer, but thank god we're past that.

Surprisingly accurate on some things.

I mean, who could have thought the Gamecube was dead in 2005 ? /s

Everyone.

Being paid to write troll articles in gaming magazines must have been the greatest job in the world.

This was every UK single-format gaming magazine up until pretty recently.

aye, they were awful. I remember a short piece on Final Fantasy 6 releasing on PS1, calling it an inferior game to 7 because Terra is a woman. It was a long time ago though and I can't remember the magazine.

There's some surprising ones from the SEGA Mega Drive era too.
