Tell me /v/ does anyone here remember the Xbox smell? The smell in the original Xbox's memory card slots on the controller. Or anyone have other weird associations with consoles? Smell's, Tastes, etc.
I just stopped playing my xbox, it smells like chocolate and sweat

I've had an original Xbox since the year they came out and the memory card slots still smell the same
>>320112601
Yes! It's one of my favourite smells. Shove your nose on the vent on the back. Suck that shit up. So good. Probable carcenogenic. Oh well, it's gonna get me anyway.

Lewd.

I'm really about to go do this...

haha

The plastic smell of opening a Wii reminds me of playing Twilight Princess and vice versa. Love that kind of nostalgia.
Have a similar connexion for thick plasticy books and Rock Raiders because of the manual it came with.
Even GTAIV had a distinctive smell, kinda different from other PS3 cases.
Scent is the most powerful evocator of memory after all.

ah yes, magic cards have a good smell as well

I actually know what you mean OP, and mine still smells like that. It's very nostalgic, reminds me of JSFR and Halo and stuff.
I remember I would pop open the hatch on my Gamecube and it had a wonderful smell. I wonder what chemical it was that smelled so damn good?
Enjoy your cancer, losers.

I WANT TO SMELL THIS AGAIN.
Where can I get my Xbox smell fix?

Wanna sniff mine? Call me

Those two buttons were such a pain to use with certain combinations. I'm glad they went the Dualshock way.
I feel like I'm pretty good at remembering through smell, but I don't think any video game consoles have ever left an impact on me. The warm air coming from the non-slim PS2 comes to mind.
For ex-soviets it was the smell of melting AC adapter of these NES clones.

If you have an original xbox controller laying around give those memory card ports a sniff. Mine still have the smell
Now that you mention it I do remember resting the controller under my nose and smelling the memory card ports.

Love those kinds of associations.
I have similar with playing Ass Creed Brotherhood (or 2?) when I first watched The Boondocks, so Ezio and the Freemans are forever connected in my mind.

>that euphoric new disc + manual combo smell
I almost preordered for the first time in years (Devils Third) now I guess I should have since this game appears to be sold out everywhere according to the internet.
The smell of the cards that came with the PS vita.

nigger some of the nicest smells are carnogenic as fuck. Just try a few aromatics like bromobenzene. Shit smells crazy nice.
>>320112601
Holy shit I thought I was the only one

yes, it's a smell I get every time I boot up one of the KOTOR games as those were my two main Xbox games back in the day
>>320118429
Huehuebue
I had forgotten this smell but I can remember it distinctly. The fuck?
was the Xbox anyone else's favourite console back in the day?
I got it right at the perfect time for me to enjoy all those amazing star wars games which I was hugely into at the time, whereas with my PS2 I didn't have any friends with a console at the time so I ended up with a pretty shitty game library
>>320112601
The smell of original Xbox games was perfect. For some reason I specifically remember halo 2 and ghost recon 2.

This was my reaction to reading this.

It was my favorite. In fact, It's my personal favorite console of all time. I played Xbox from the middle of elementary to near the end of junior high when I got a 360. The majority of my friends all had Xbox as well
I'm playing my Xbox right now, I have no smellz. Why would you use memory cards anyway?

Portable save games to bring to a friends house? Makes the most sense to me, I never had a memory card though
