Got a lotta rare things on sale, Stranger. But today I'm going to highlight some gaming heritage instead. On this day in 2006, excited gamer grommets could go buy an Xbox 360 for the first time. Exactly one year to the day later, the same was true of the debuting PlayStation 3...for $999 (!!!). It's hard to believe the dawn of the 7th generation of gaming was 17 years ago. Such huge pricepoints. So many massive crabs with massive damage. What an age.
