Summary
While hiking, a gamer came across an abandonedXbox 360console on the side of a dirt path. Video game consoles can show up in some unusual places, but finding anXbox 360next to a hiking trail is among the more unlikely spots to find one.
Released in 2005, the Xbox 360 was a massively popular console for Microsoft. Despitethe red ring of deaththat plagued many original units, gamers continued to buy the Xbox 360 throughout its lifespan. As a result, it became the best-selling Xbox console for Microsoft. One reason for that was the impressive library of Xbox 360 games players had to choose from, including first-party options, such as multipleHaloandGears of Wartitles. Despite the fond memories players have of the seventh-generation system, some have decided to discard their hardware in some bizarre locations.
For example, a Reddit user known as runawaz recently discovered one of these abandoned Xbox 360 consoles while walking with their dog on a hiking trail. In an image, the beat-up gaming machine could be seen next to the side of the path with the Reddit user’s dog standing next to it. Unfortunately, the machine looked to have seen better days as it was covered with dirt. However, it did not appear to sustain any massive structural damage, meaning it might still be able toplay Xbox 360 games. That being said, the fact that it was discarded by someone else means it might have something wrong with it.

This unusual find made by runawaz and their dog while hiking has caught the attention of the Xbox community on Reddit. Since sharing the odd image of the abandoned Xbox 360, nearly 1K users have upvoted the post. The comments were full of gamers making jokes about the console and complimenting the Reddit user’s dog. In addition, some speculated about what could have caused the previous owner of the Xbox 360 to throw it away in the first place.
Even though finding an Xbox 360 console while hiking is very rare, it is far from the only bizarre discovery made by gamers.

Despite being somewhat grimy, the SNES cartridge was in decent shape.
