It's always a good idea to own older consoles like this one because they are plug and play. Unlike modern stuff now that are full of constant updates and DLC
I’m 16 and I’ve always loved the original Xbox. My dad is huge old game era collector and recently gave me his Xbox collection, I personally enjoy it more than the recent generation of gaming.
Great to see youngsters loving the OG XBOX. It’s a very underrated and underappreciated console!!! Many of the third-party games run better on the system and what’s so cool about it is that in some games, they can play custom music from when you rip it off from a CD to the hard drive
I would get it if it was a NES or something. But theres no reason except nostalgia to play O.G Xbox. Most of the games can be played upscaled on xbox one/360 and series x
Glad you're joining the OG Xbox club! In addition to removing the clock capacitor, also make sure to softmod and TSOP flash it so it won't turn into a brick if the hard drive dies.
I own 2 OG xbox consoles, including one from near launch and they still work fine all these years later excellent console with alot of good games, its nice to go back to these older games. IMO, I find that modern gaming has taken a step in the wrong direction and find myself bored or not interested in a lot of the newer releases and this is where retro comes in and saves the day.
I found this a bit ironic because when I bought the Xbox back in 2003, my sister invited her friends and played Xbox and PS1 loaded with 500 NES emulated games. We ended up spending more time with NES games because the games are not lengthy to play and somewhat less complicated.
@@JasonDuaineHahn not exactly, my 2 xbox 1.4(2004) were dying (screen flickering really baaad) now they're ok after replaced those exhausted capacitors :)
@@JasonDuaineHahn look up leaking clock capacitor on Xbox. Those need to be removed or replaced if you're capable as you only lose time keeping capability when unplugged, not a big deal.
Better late than never dude, I have ended up owning 10 OG's and use them for all manner of things especially back in the 00's they were my media centers with xbmc. Now it's emulation and gaming powerhouses still to this day that can be hooked up to CRTs and modern flatscreens so convenient and have them hooked up all over the house and garage. Absolutely brilliant
It's so cool to see someone actually getting games and consoles as they were intended. To play and have fun! The speculative market really ruined game collecting for me. It was fun to see your excitement in this video. I was an OG xbox kid back in 2003 so this was nostalgic for me.
I appreciate that, thanks a lot 🙌🏼 I definitely had fun making this video (even if a few of the games that came in the box ended up too scratched to play, haha)
She's a beaut. I've always wanted to play on a real OG Xbox, but the thing was never sold in my country so I pretty much just stuck to PS2 and PC back in the day.
the PS2 era gave us some great memories though 💪🏼 but if you're interested in the OG xbox at all, check out some used ones... might even get a better deal then the one I got haha
I remember as a 12-13 year old looking at Xbox when they first appeared at Toys R Us. They were like Alien technology to me. Never actually played it or held it. One day I'll get it. Just got a N64 for the first time ever and made a video on it.
I love my OG XBOX and am still buying games for it. It is a classic piece of gaming history and in my opinion the best console of that generation to collect for.
Great video man! The office and Happy Gilmore references = me subscribing to your channel! Keep up the good work and FYI the clock capacitor removal isn't too difficult and worth doing for sure. You can determine what motherboard revision you have while inside too.
Same tging here with PS 3 and XBOX 360. I have a PC more powerful than both together multiple times, buth i am so happy and full of joy to have them now, for the first time in my life. I missed on that whole hipe just like you did, and i understand that joy of getting t6hem. Have a lot of owessume time with it.
I missed my young days getting this console. I just bought mine last year, and upgraded it with 1 TB SATA HDD to store the games inside it, plus getting third party, old-stock wirelsess controller that resembled Type S controller. Although it was an old console, but I do enjoyed it, no matter what
@@JasonDuaineHahn yeah, if you've got a chance like me, you should do it. I did try to revive few of ths original Xbox MOBOs, and all of them are failed, which made me frustrated, until I got the working one that I've mentioned above
Did the same tbh. Got mine, upgraded it with a 2TB HDD and moved hundreds of games to the HDD because that weak optical disc drive is starting to fail in all revisions. Plus, the default 8GB IDE HDD is probably not on good health these days. You can put almost the entire console library on a 2TB drive which is pretty fun. Also replaced all capacitors with new ones that won't leak and of course the general cleaning like removing dust and reapplying thermal paste. I like the Type S controller and it's my main, it's the Japanese limited edition one. Another cool thing you can do is restore the DLC for the few games that had it since they were gone when Live was shutdown, thankfully the community saved them.
Hi, good vid.. Some questions please: 1) Which video cable you use cause quality is very good !? 2)if its version 1.4 (2003-2004) you should probably check also the capacitors near the cpu-gpu because if exhausted they make the screen flickering really baaaad
but a good vid - takes me back to my youth when i get me an Xbox OG, had heaps of fun times playing Crimson skies n Fable. dam 12 subs n i thought i was the lowest on 31 (not to worry bro i got u i subbed n liked - my only wonder is will i get just a like or actual comment from the uploader)
That's right, I had completely forgotten about Crimson Skies! I remember seeing that in stores back in the day but never played. Just checked and it's actually on GamePass now - so might be time to give it a try 👀
I really want to snag up an OG Xbox for my retro collection with my gamecube, so many memories & lots of fun. An underdog console that truly deserves its praise after 20 years.
@@davidm4677 Exactly, now I truly understand why retro consoles & games are a thing to collect. To be able to plug in, go & relive memories, rather then wait for an update Lol But I can say your retro console picks are legendary 😊👌🏽💯
Man me and my friends had a massive blast with the og xbox, just like you we played goldeneye twisted metal and all that jazz, but nothing beat 16 player Lan parties in that Era on halo 1, was downright amazing and memories that will never fade man
I got a few used Original XBox consoles at yard sales for $5 each. Most of them worked fine. Great system and can be modded to play retro games. Sold 2 of my Xbox consoles this month for $100 each so it seemed that the interest in OG console have increased.
Pretty awesome system, I have gone through three of them. Two the disc's stopped reading and tray stopped opening. But I still have one that works and have a ton of games for it still too 😊
what i loved of the original xbox was xbox live. i got xbox live the day it came out November 15, 2002 which will be 20th anniversary soon , and i still have the same account in my xbox series x after all those years. i kept renewing my subscription since then. when xbox live shut down , we could still use our account on the new platform. my favorite game back then was moto gp and i played also mechassault. it was so cool to play on xbox live multiplayer games when it came out and be able to add friends and chat with a mic with everyone. this was really incredible and something new to me. i also remember the ring of death problem with the original xbox systems. i had a few original xbox systems that got defective like this before i got one that worked for years.
1:44 i used to have that EGM magazine back in the day. Had my mind on Xbox completely ignoring GameCube but still wanted that ps2. Ended up with the OG xbox & my first game was Ninja Gaiden.
I still game on my original Xbox. I also have a 360 slim and Series S. Game that I’m playing on my original Xbox is Painkiller Hell wars. Awesome video dude.
You can get an adapter for the Xbox to be able to use a PlayStation 2 controller. I had one, it worked great, didn't need an Xbox controller to work, you just plugged the adapter in, plugged in the PlayStation controller. Plug and play.
yes! The 1.4 revisions seem to fail more.. my 2 xboxes (1crystal 1black) had the screen flickering really bad but now seem ok after capacitors replacement
The OG has a bunch of fun military shooters on it from the Ghost Recon series to Rainbow Six games to the Conflict series also Delta Force Black Hawk Down. I've been playing Conflict Desert Storm all week and am still trying to beat Mission 4. I either get my crew killed by a tank or the scuds go off ending the mission.
Salute to xbox purists! My first ever console, purchased as an adult, when finally had my own cash. Was a town hunt store to store for any that sold them. 20 years we together and still collect titles.
SCARFACE ?! we are very few to have that game.. Please help: My brand new disc of Scarface NOT works(!) in the xbox but only on the Xbox360 in retrocompatibility (!) ..any idea ?
I've just set up my classic xbox from 2003 for first time in like 8 years. Also just gave it the FIRST ever clean. And by clean I mean vacuum cleaner on the vents which were absolutely blocked hahaha. runs absolutely fine though
Ah yes the original Xbox. I grew up with it and experienced some interesting games. I just bought myself a serviced and hardware modded Xbox today. Oh btw. There is a Xbox Live Replacement called Insignia in the works. The Controller S was designed for the asian market in mind at first. Also get the console checked. Microsoft used some cheap electrolyte capacitors that tend to leak. Nice Video!
@@JasonDuaineHahn yes and no I was kid when it came bundle with my Xbox but the downside is my hands were to small to hold it so I stop using it and got the s controller
Xbox blurred the line between Console and PC gaming. I remember how advanced the lighting was on games like Splinter cell. And I remember how Morrowind was available on Xbox. No other console had that power.
Tony Hawk 4 is a great game for this platform, it even runs smoothly in 720p which I find impressive for a +20 years old console. Same with TH Underground. I think the later titles dropped the HD resolution though
I had the original Xbox when it first came out with nba 2k3 madden 2003 and tony hawk 2x. I had a lot of music from that time period burned onto the Xbox also that I’d listen to while I played. I believe it stopped working after a while and I got rid of it unfortunately which was a big mistake but a couple of years ago I decided to get it again and now I have an even larger collection than I did in the past. Original Xbox will always hold a special place with me because I got it as a teenager and played it a lot during my middle and high school years
Is this is your first time owing an original Xbox you might want to check what version you have because the clock capacitor needs to be changed from versions 1.1 to 1.5, if it has a gold capacitor do not touch it that will mess up your Xbox immediately it will not turn on anymore.
Please help with the game SCARFACE!: we are very few to have that game, my brand new disc of Scarface IS NOT READ(!) in the og xbox but only on the Xbox360 in retrocompatibility (!) ..any idea ?
I actually have three original Xbox game consoles and the reason why I have three of them is because the very first one I got for Christmas many years ago stopped working on me since it wouldn't read any discs that I would insert in the console, so I ordered two extra OG Xbox systems from Amazon a few years back, one of which I'm actually using more as a dedicated portable game console almost since I have an amazing LCD gaming screen attached for playing games without the need for an actual TV. My other extra OG Xbox that I got from Amazon is hooked up to my main TV as a replacement for my first one that stopped working for me. I also have an Xbox 360 which is backwards compatible with most of my original Xbox games, but there are a few OG Xbox games though that I have that won't work on Xbox 360 since I still need the original Xbox to play them on. I only have just the original Xbox and Xbox 360 game consoles though since I don't own an Xbox One and I also don't have Xbox Series X/S either.
@@djm1ch0l4s9 That's cool then. I actually like both new and old game systems myself personally and I have a lot of different games to play for my Xbox 360 as well. 🙂
@@davidm4677 I see then, but at least you're trying to look for a backup OG Xbox for now and hopefully maybe you'll get one soon sometime too. I still like the PS3 and Xbox 360 systems myself since they're not too bad for me though and I have a lot of great games for them as well.
That gen of gaming had so many games to choose from a lot of em had lengthy hours to enjoy the gameplay, nowadays games are 12 hours to beat with dlc that coulda easily been included
i was thinking of buying one to add on my collection and play it at the same time but how do you change game disc and how do you turn it off because I'm a beginner when it comes to this console unlike the xbox 360 and xbox one
Do they still work I know these brand came out when I was little and they play the same games like GameCube and PlayStation 2 as well and unfortunately for those two a memory card is required in order to auto save you’re game progress and I know on Microsoft Xbox you can it’s auto save able I’ve thought about getting one but don’t know if they still work now
i remember being 10 years old around 2009, and getting my first original xbox, i know the 360 was around but my dad was strict on games cause of how bloody a lot of the 360 games that i watched were, so he started me off with the original xbox, and when i got my own, i played it nonstop, it was all the rage for me growing up after watching dad play his original xbox for ever since 2004 i think, and watching him play games such as Darkwatch curse of the west, fable the lost chapters, crash twinsanity, first to fight, etc,
for anyone wanting one ive purchased over 5 from goodwill to give to friends and family. I see one almost everytime i go for about $20. Just so yall know
Very nice. Pick yourself up a Xedusa from Beharbros to get a better video out and higher resolution (Tony Hawk 4 runs in 720p on xbox). You might want to pair that with an mclassic if you want to upscale and anti-alias it further, but it's not a necessity. Then take a trip to mod town and get that thing soft modded
I remember when the xbox first came out and the barrage of bad ass games that came out.. halo ce.. brute force.. roadkill.. and tons others. Download music from cds and some games let you use it as a soundtrack.. damn if it couldn't do so much and nearly infinite storage. What wasn't good about it.
I have 2 OG Xbox; First one I had bought an open box on discount back in 2003 and the second one I had inherited for free recently. From the looks of it, it looks going to outlast the hot Potatoe Xbox360 and PS3.
Congrats on this video blowing up. Currently you over paid for the console and games. But as a long time collector I can assure you that the market will eventually skyrocket for Xbox. So 5 years from now you can say you got a deal for this OG.
I still have 1 black and 1 'clear' case Xboxs plus that next generation one you showed. Also have a PS one, a standard ps 2 and 2 slimline ps 2's. The new PS 5's look cool and will probably look at getting the new VR unit sometime.
Do u know that Xboxes ver 1.4 (Crystal) are prone to fail? the capacitors under the gpu could exhaust, before replacing them my screen was flicker really baaad
Remove your Clock capacitors from Xbox revisions before 1.6 iirc. I opened up and removed my starting to leak clock capacitor from my Halo green Xbox but my brother's Xbox which was a 1.6 or whatever the revision didn't have the leaky clock capacitor
They say it has a lifespan of 10-12 years but as long as you change the therm paste once a year and make sure to clean the fan and keep it off soft surfaces like carpet cooling and cleaning is the key to very long lifespan.
Oh yea keep very young kids away peanut butter jelly hands and drinks of any kind, never leave the disks out hard to come by good ones without skipping scratches.
I didn't buy a OG xbox till the end of its life cycle at Gamestop for $100 and a copy of Halo. I got home and couldn't put the controller down. The best way to play the original halo is on a OG xbox. Not the master chief collection. I now have 2 working OG xbox's and a broken one. The broken one unfortunately has trace damage on the motherboard. I removed the clock capacitors on the other 2 which I highly recommend doing if you plan to keep them forever.
I just got a og xbox and I'm modding mine with aladdin xt plus2 a led 60mm evercool silent fan 120gb ssd secondary gpu fan heatsink from a 1.0 which mine is an 1.1 but I have and power adapter to power the gpu fan
Been playing video games near 40 years. I am Xbox fan since day one. I own 3 OG Xbox consoles black edition, halo edition, and a custom edition. Own them since day one all in perfect condition. But!! 2 of 3 consoles have clock power supply problems. Need repair. I believe OG Xbox had five different models but they always have power issues. If you play the console a lot put many hours in them like i did they will eventually have a power supply issue. I dont care had long you had one and you say it still works. Today if you play a OG xbox a lot it will have a power issue. Unplug it for a couple days. Plug it back in. If the console thinks it 2001 you will eventually have a issue. May be expensive to get fix. Sorry but but off with a new console. I hope Microsoft soon works again on more backwards compatible on OG Xbox games one of the best things Xbox is doing.... Be careful buying a OG Xbox today!
please take note did you open it up there’s a capacitor that can leak I don’t remember what it’s called but I had an original Xbox and it the capacitor was leaking
I held the duke because a friend had the Duke Xbox and while big isn't as uncomfortable as it looks but still not ideal. Like the N64 controller it looks awful but not bad on the hand, the Dreamcast is the one that looks bad and holds as bad.
It's always a good idea to own older consoles like this one because they are plug and play. Unlike modern stuff now that are full of constant updates and DLC

Xbox blurred the line between Console and PC gaming. I remember how advanced the lighting was on games like Splinter cell. And I remember how Morrowind was available on Xbox. No other console had that power.
Could buy one some two years ago for around 28€ with a small Controller. Best Console buy ever. Also collecting for Xbox is really cheap.
Same I got a original xbox yesterday got mine at yard sale. It works also came with halo
Perfect combo
Tony Hawk 4 is a great game for this platform, it even runs smoothly in 720p which I find impressive for a +20 years old console. Same with TH Underground. I think the later titles dropped the HD resolution though
I had the original Xbox when it first came out with nba 2k3 madden 2003 and tony hawk 2x. I had a lot of music from that time period burned onto the Xbox also that I’d listen to while I played. I believe it stopped working after a while and I got rid of it unfortunately which was a big mistake but a couple of years ago I decided to get it again and now I have an even larger collection than I did in the past. Original Xbox will always hold a special place with me because I got it as a teenager and played it a lot during my middle and high school years
Niiice on the Dukes!
Had one of the originals and got another one about a year ago. Still play it to this day.
That's awesome. What are you playing on it these days?
@@JasonDuaineHahn I play Doom 3, ultimate Spider-Man, and original halo games.
i love the xbox, pne of my fav console, like you i didnt had the chance to grow up with one
What editing software do you use?
I’m using Final Cut Pro. I still have lots to learn since I switched from Adobe Premiere a few months ago (didn’t want to keep paying a subscription)
I clicked thinking you bought Fable and got catfished lmao
Is this is your first time owing an original Xbox you might want to check what version you have because the clock capacitor needs to be changed from versions 1.1 to 1.5, if it has a gold capacitor do not touch it that will mess up your Xbox immediately it will not turn on anymore.
thanks, will look into it 👌🏽
Please help with the game SCARFACE!: we are very few to have that game, my brand new disc of Scarface IS NOT READ(!) in the og xbox but only on the Xbox360 in retrocompatibility (!) ..any idea ?
Modding is the way to go for older systems
I miss the mod even the 360 is the best and PlayStation 3 as older system go modding get you thousands of games
I actually have three original Xbox game consoles and the reason why I have three of them is because the very first one I got for Christmas many years ago stopped working on me since it wouldn't read any discs that I would insert in the console, so I ordered two extra OG Xbox systems from Amazon a few years back, one of which I'm actually using more as a dedicated portable game console almost since I have an amazing LCD gaming screen attached for playing games without the need for an actual TV. My other extra OG Xbox that I got from Amazon is hooked up to my main TV as a replacement for my first one that stopped working for me. I also have an Xbox 360 which is backwards compatible with most of my original Xbox games, but there are a few OG Xbox games though that I have that won't work on Xbox 360 since I still need the original Xbox to play them on. I only have just the original Xbox and Xbox 360 game consoles though since I don't own an Xbox One and I also don't have Xbox Series X/S either.
..me too:) I dont feel the need to have newer systems.. I still got hundreds xbox360 games to play
@@djm1ch0l4s9 That's cool then. I actually like both new and old game systems myself personally and I have a lot of different games to play for my Xbox 360 as well. 🙂
@@pepsidude8919 Everything after 360 and PS3 sucks I did own them all!Looking for OG Xbox as back up now.
@@davidm4677 I see then, but at least you're trying to look for a backup OG Xbox for now and hopefully maybe you'll get one soon sometime too. I still like the PS3 and Xbox 360 systems myself since they're not too bad for me though and I have a lot of great games for them as well.
That gen of gaming had so many games to choose from a lot of em had lengthy hours to enjoy the gameplay, nowadays games are 12 hours to beat with dlc that coulda easily been included
The rock: the Xbox will be the most electrifying thing coming out this year
PS2: am I a joke to you
Will you be making more Xbox content?
I will at some point! And thinking of doing something on the Xbox 360 in the future. Anything you’d like to see?
i was thinking of buying one to add on my collection and play it at the same time
but how do you change game disc and how do you turn it off because I'm a beginner when it comes to this console
unlike the xbox 360 and xbox one
Do they still work I know these brand came out when I was little and they play the same games like GameCube and PlayStation 2 as well and unfortunately for those two a memory card is required in order to auto save you’re game progress and I know on Microsoft Xbox you can it’s auto save able I’ve thought about getting one but don’t know if they still work now
Smart, I’m in the process of getting one
i remember being 10 years old around 2009, and getting my first original xbox, i know the 360 was around but my dad was strict on games cause of how bloody a lot of the 360 games that i watched were, so he started me off with the original xbox, and when i got my own, i played it nonstop, it was all the rage for me growing up after watching dad play his original xbox for ever since 2004 i think, and watching him play games such as Darkwatch curse of the west, fable the lost chapters, crash twinsanity, first to fight, etc,
Great game DARKWATCH ! But for me the best graphics ever were on HalfLife2, JustCause,
for anyone wanting one ive purchased over 5 from goodwill to give to friends and family. I see one almost everytime i go for about $20. Just so yall know
I need to go to whichever Goodwill you're going to then, haha
Very nice. Pick yourself up a Xedusa from Beharbros to get a better video out and higher resolution (Tony Hawk 4 runs in 720p on xbox). You might want to pair that with an mclassic if you want to upscale and anti-alias it further, but it's not a necessity. Then take a trip to mod town and get that thing soft modded
track, but the problem is I don't know how to do tNice tutorials, it only goes to the setuper as the whole track...can you help with tNice tutorials?
I remember when the xbox first came out and the barrage of bad ass games that came out.. halo ce.. brute force.. roadkill.. and tons others. Download music from cds and some games let you use it as a soundtrack.. damn if it couldn't do so much and nearly infinite storage. What wasn't good about it.
I just got one and was wondering if they are worth anything or just throw it in the trash
I have 2 OG Xbox; First one I had bought an open box on discount back in 2003 and the second one I had inherited for free recently. From the looks of it, it looks going to outlast the hot Potatoe Xbox360 and PS3.
I still have my original Xbox from way back in the day. Thing is built like a tank, and I have it sitting next to my Series S
Then probably you have NOT a 1.4 version cause is prone to fail :(
Congrats on this video blowing up. Currently you over paid for the console and games. But as a long time collector I can assure you that the market will eventually skyrocket for Xbox. So 5 years from now you can say you got a deal for this OG.
Appreciate it! And great insight on that, definitely interested to see where things are five years from now
I still have 1 black and 1 'clear' case Xboxs plus that next generation one you showed. Also have a PS one, a standard ps 2 and 2 slimline ps 2's. The new PS 5's look cool and will probably look at getting the new VR unit sometime.
Do u know that Xboxes ver 1.4 (Crystal) are prone to fail? the capacitors under the gpu could exhaust, before replacing them my screen was flicker really baaad
@@djm1ch0l4s9 I don't use them, I'm waiting for VR head sets to become more popular. 😁
Remove your Clock capacitors from Xbox revisions before 1.6 iirc.
I opened up and removed my starting to leak clock capacitor from my Halo green Xbox but my brother's Xbox which was a 1.6 or whatever the revision didn't have the leaky clock capacitor
Got a 360 from 2010 playing reach is what i look forward to every day when i wake.
They say it has a lifespan of 10-12 years but as long as you change the therm paste once a year and make sure to clean the fan and keep it off soft surfaces like carpet cooling and cleaning is the key to very long lifespan.
Oh yea keep very young kids away peanut butter jelly hands and drinks of any kind, never leave the disks out hard to come by good ones without skipping scratches.
Looks like you found a keeper good job man.
Got a Original X-Box one from 2014 with Infinite and forza horizon 4 lots of fun but the older games are more fun i think.
I don’t know where you grew up but where I was growing up. All the kids on my block wanted a PS2 .
I didn't buy a OG xbox till the end of its life cycle at Gamestop for $100 and a copy of Halo. I got home and couldn't put the controller down. The best way to play the original halo is on a OG xbox. Not the master chief collection. I now have 2 working OG xbox's and a broken one. The broken one unfortunately has trace damage on the motherboard. I removed the clock capacitors on the other 2 which I highly recommend doing if you plan to keep them forever.
agreed - nothing like playing on the original hardware (and OG controllers)
I may buy one in a couple moutnths lol
you can still save that xbox, find another one for parts or use that one for parts lol
I still have my original xbox halo edition with both halo games and simpsons hit and run game for it 😁
simpsons hit and run is an absolute classic - thanks for reminding me about that one!
So that's a 2002 model so that either the 1.0 or 1.1 motherboard, I would 100% get all those capacitors replaced and not just the clock cap.
yep! going to check on that asap
I got 2003 model any problems with capacitors in those?I got to important things on it can't afford to lose.
@@davidm4677 Yes, all original Xbox models suffer from leaking capacitors. If you've not replaced the caps, I suggest doing it asap.
Check out the Godzilla game on the Xbox is absolutely sick
Will do!
I still have mine...it's so large.. it's like an aircraft carrier!
Silent hill 2 and 4, fable, Morrowind, godfather my favorite Xbox games
I have an Xbox and PS2, everytime I come home from high school I see them fighting and screaming.
i think 160 is not bad with everything u get in it i liked the Vid ouo
Get a set of component cable for HD video output.
I just got a og xbox and I'm modding mine with aladdin xt plus2 a led 60mm evercool silent fan 120gb ssd secondary gpu fan heatsink from a 1.0 which mine is an 1.1 but I have and power adapter to power the gpu fan
My favorite game was halo and project Gotham 2…. I had so many hours in both those games.
Project Gotham was such a great franchise - I still have my original PGR3 for Xbox 360
@@JasonDuaineHahn I have 2 and 3, recently played 2 but don’t have any saved game data so had to start from scratch
I actually have the first model original Xbox in perfect condition
awesome 🙌🏼 hold on to it!
I still have the original xbox, but I haven't used it for a long while.
Been playing video games near 40 years. I am Xbox fan since day one. I own 3 OG Xbox consoles black edition, halo edition, and a custom edition. Own them since day one all in perfect condition. But!! 2 of 3 consoles have clock power supply problems. Need repair. I believe OG Xbox had five different models but they always have power issues. If you play the console a lot put many hours in them like i did they will eventually have a power supply issue. I dont care had long you had one and you say it still works. Today if you play a OG xbox a lot it will have a power issue. Unplug it for a couple days. Plug it back in. If the console thinks it 2001 you will eventually have a issue. May be expensive to get fix. Sorry but but off with a new console. I hope Microsoft soon works again on more backwards compatible on OG Xbox games one of the best things Xbox is doing.... Be careful buying a OG Xbox today!
You right ! I had to replace the 3 capacitors under cpu/gpu in my 2 ver1.4 xboxes otherwise the screen was flicker really baaad
Enjoy
Call me crazy...I loved the Duke.
Mech assault 1 was awesome
I remember seeing that game!
please take note did you open it up there’s a capacitor that can leak I don’t remember what it’s called but I had an original Xbox and it the capacitor was leaking
Clock capacitor
@@BRIANOCONNOR2003 ik but I mean the type of capacitor like the model
@@McGee_Two v1.6 doesn't have a clock capacitor
But it's located at a different area
I held the duke because a friend had the Duke Xbox and while big isn't as uncomfortable as it looks but still not ideal. Like the N64 controller it looks awful but not bad on the hand, the Dreamcast is the one that looks bad and holds as bad.
Needs a 2TB origins update ;)
Can we get a video of WWF RAW gameplay?
Definitely seek out Logitech's very nice wireless controllers while the prices aren't obsurd.
will look into it 👍🏼
Got a link to it?
