The original Xbox was (and though a bit dated, still is) a great video game console. Released in November 2001, the Xbox allowed you to play games (including Popular titles such as Halo: Combat Evolved, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, and even the recently released Madden NFL 09), watch DVD's (although you must first purchase an inexpensive Xbox DVD remote), and play and rip tracks from CD's (which can even be used as custom, in-game tracks with some Xbox games). Other features include a built-in hard drive (which has plenty of room for game saves, downloaded Xbox content, and music), four controller ports, and Xbox LIVE (an online gaming service allowing subscribers to play Xbox games online with other subscribers around the world and download new content for their games to the system's hard drive). If your looking for a gaming system that will keep you entertained for a good while, but you can't afford a PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360, you should give the original Xbox a try.Best Deals for XBOX Console
While this is A big system, it's very powerful, and the built in hard drive makes it more convenient for saving my game progress. The games I've played on it so far are pretty fun after playing the ones that work on the 360. Overall, A good buy.Honest reviews on XBOX Console
Early on in your trying out of an Xbox game console, you may wonder if it's really worth bothering with. The Xbox Live functionswhich don't exist anymore, thank you very much Microsoftwere clunky and slow, especially compared to those of the 360. The first controller was an oversized mistake, and had that controller stayed as the standard this review would certainly be different. The controllers are almost exclusively wired, if that disappoints anybody, and the graphics are far behind what consoles can do today. On top of it all, too many people don't even seem to know there *was* an Xbox. I keep hearing "Xbox", then ask for clarification and find the person really meant the 360.The Xbox may in some ways be past its prime. It's no longer the top dog in game consolesPS2 never was, I prefer a console that *can't* be mistaken for a DVD player. It's been a full decade since it was released in North America.
But...
If you look past its age and the fact that it just ain't all that cool anymore, you'll find that the Xbox, its games, and accessories are a better deal than a post-Soviet AK discount sale. Some of its items are getting a bit rare, sure, but overall, every part and aspect of the console has never been cheaper than it is now. Back in the heyday of the Bawks, you'd pay fifty dollars for each new game or close to that. Today, one of the most famous Xbox games ever, Halo: Combat Evolved, often runs less than ten dollars on Amazon. "Mechassault" can be found on Amazon for a penny plus shipping.
And there isn't just money to consider. The Xbox may be old, but like a vintage Cadillac, it warrants a second look despite not being the newest and shiniest.
There's one thing, most of all, that the Xbox has: it works. The Xbox had its troubles early on, but shook them off and stayed the same model, while the 360 has kept on changing and hasn't fully rid itself of technical woes. That is one reason I truly like the Xbox better than its replacement: there is only one Xbox. There have got to be ten 360's, and I've always had a vague feeling of being cheated since the 360 has constantly been changed and re-released, leaving the first white 360's in the dust as much as their predecessor, the Bawks.
The Xbox and its games are reliable, inexpensive, and simple, and even today the 360 cannot match the Xbox on some of these. The 360, with it's never-ending addons of complexity to an already complicated dashboard, frankly gives me way more than I want to work with. The Xbox gives you the essentials, and always with a bit of flair. That's how I like it. I don't need any Avatar or 600 sections to my dashboard, nor do I need my Xbox Live functions tied into the console so heavily as they are on the 360. The Xbox has been abandoned by Microsoft, it seems, and the fact that its Live functions were given their place but not woven into every fabric of its existence has made its transition to a Live-less status easier. Can you imagine if the 360 one day meets the same fate? Those things will be screaming about being unable to connect so much it will make people's heads spin.
Simplicity, reliability, and a low price for pretty much all of its games and accessories. The Xbox may have gotten old, but not all aspects of its aging have been bad. It's never been a better deal than it is today. It's the first game console I ever played, and still is the one I love most. It's one of the greatest game consoles ever made.
It's teh Bawks.

These are reasonably cheap on the market now days and for the low budget you can do some soft modding to the unit simply by having a 5 dollar game, a 6 dollar usb to xbox cable, and a compatible usb flash drive. I know this is not exactly a new concept, but for those of us who overlooked the modding capabilities back in the day. It has never been easier to do. I saw some youtube videos of people hardware modding that I may consider. Dropping in a new hard drive, a built in lcd monitor, built in wireless compatibility, some visual upgrades, led lights...etc. I was looking for something cheap to tinker around with and it seems like this has cured my itch. Don't forget your old buddy. He misses you.
