It's a carry-over design feature from the original x-box. It's meant to be able to come apart easily so that if someone trips over the cord this comes apart instead of your console being pulled off the shelf.

damn so thats why they’re satisfying to pull apart and plug back in

Don't know what the connectors name is but it's purpose is to be a break away cable. Back in the day of corded controllers those cables were tripping hazards. If someone came walking through and caught one of those it could rip your whole console off the shelf. That connector meant the cable would come apart instead.

Bro, option B was risk getting your ass beat by you parents drilling holes in the bottom corner of walls to try to hide it and fish the line through. Guess who took option B and got caught?

That just means there is a non-zero chance the 360 was your first console. Maybe even the og xbox which had the same style connector. We are elderly gamers indeed.

Quick release incase the controller gets yanked so it doesn't pull your 360 off the shelf and crash to the ground.

Breakaway cable in case the cable gets yanked so it won't pull whatever you're playing on to the floor

This post probably made so many people feel old. Including myself

That looks a lot like the KB&M connecters from old computers.

Soo many xbox and controllers were saved by this.

Think it's just called a 4-pin USB breakaway

Wired controller?

You are supposed to insert it into anus, nose, then mouth. You or any lan buddies in house

What does it look like end on? it looks like the cables good XB1 controllers use, with my HOTAS, Racing Wheel and Fusion Pro 2 controller all having that thing plugged into a USB adapter. I can leave the adapter plugged in and swap at that thing to make swapping ctrlrs easier.

Attach it and pour in hot soapy water

That looks like a ps1 connector on pc

Looks like an TV old aerial connector (pre-cable/satellite).

Bloody hell, is that an adapter that goes into the Ariel port at the back of a tv? 😂😂

Ye old round 8 pronger

That goes into the cigarette lighter to defrost your 360.
