Fifa Ultimate Team was already going strong on 360. Started all the way back in 2009, but the insane gambling player packs came a little later.
CS: GO cases technically started during Xbox 360’s life cycle (a little short of 2 years before Xbox One launched), although the game was PC only.
As others have mentioned - Oblivion horse armor DLC was already a thing.
Microsoft first introduced paywalled online functionality with Xbox 360’s Xbox Live subscription.
You could add some more to the list. By this time gaming was already going downhill. What you remember as the ‘last great console generation’ is probably just nostalgia. Although you could make a case that early Xbox 360 days were pretty great.

Xbox Live started with the original Xbox

Xbox Live was always a paid service.

I am pretty sure my parents had to pay $10/mo or whatever for me to lose all those matches in MechAssault.
