    Because these games just work. I’m sick of all the nonsense you have to go through today just to play a game. I bought a slim Ps2 with a selection of games and it was very refreshing to just turn it on and the game just work. Amazing

      Woah technology.
      But yeah definitely sucks.
      It's amazing if I encounter a game where you can just pop in a disc, it installs and there's no updates.
      Usually Japanese games and also the reprint of Spyro reignited trilogy.

    I recently bought an original Xbox and am collecting for it. So many memories from my teen years. I have been playing Project Gotham Racing 1&2, Amped Freestyle Snowboarding, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4, RLH Run Like Hell, and Halo 1&2. I have been enjoying playing original Xbox games over anything new as of late.

    Over here finding OG Xbox games has actually become a bit more rare. But 360 games can be snagged up cheaply with regularity. Probably not a bad idea to build a collection now, before things inevitably explode in price in 20 years. Collecting both, myself. The OG Xbox has a surprisingly solid library and I feel it's overlooked a lot.

      @Aivis well, the games are usually cheaper than ps2 versions, have better graphics, support HD in many more cases, support custom soundtracks, and don’t require a memory card thanks to the built in hard drive. So I’d say that’s why. But, to each their own.

      Hey Stu, what type of TV setup and HDMI converters do you use? Can you elaborate on this? I found that ps2 with HDMI converter looks bad/blurry on a 4k tv. Which is why I read that you need to use a crt tv for ps2. Would like to just game on original hardware. Emulators are cool but something about playing on original hardware is the best.

    Original Xbox was my favorite system to collect for, and I had a pretty epic collection. But a tornado wiped it all out last year. All tallied, I lost about double my insurance limit. That's counting all systems and games, at market value as of time of loss. Was floored and devastated to see what years of collecting added up to, but it's definitely a testament to the financial viability of just collecting the games you love, as you can afford, over decades. It's not money wasted... unless a natural disaster makes it all go poof in an instant.

    Great advice. I've been doing this with the og Xbox & PS3 over the past couple of months to get in before the market starts really climbing on those systems. I've got about as many Xbox games now as my PS2 collection, and if there's a multiplat game I'm probably gonna get the Xbox version since it looks/plays better and it's a fraction of the price.
    I can't justify the prices on some of my preferred systems for the physical copies so I've also started down the path of ODE. Since I have so many multiples of each console I can have my cake & eat it too. Of course I'm still willing to shell out the cash for certain titles I really enjoy just to have them. I've never particularly ever had the desire to go for a "complete" game collection for any system, not even digitally. I just want the games that I like.
    But there still exists the problem of supply & demand, finding these older games in the wild at a garage sale or fleamarket is a lot different now than it was 10 years ago. I almost never get good scores anymore like I used to because A) they're just not out there as much as they used to be, or B) I have a lot more competition than I used to, in my case there's a number of local "hunters" that scoop up everything and resell it for top dollar. And forget finding a good deal at a retro game store anymore. Yeah, they might have some banger titles in the glass case, but you're paying for em.

Games are super cheap and I find them all the time at savers and goodwills. So if anyone here needs the question answered if they should jump on a original xbox, I have to say from my experience just go for it especially now that we know that xbox has ended its support with adding original xbox games to the xbox series of consoles.

    Die hard xbox fans will be bored of hearing about it but it’s worth considering. At this point unopened Xbox’s are more of an issue than ones that have been opened and maintained.

I'm glad there is still some cheap retro collecting to be done, though it's weird to think of OG Xbox as retro. It's also a beast of an emulation console.

      @Wally17. 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      You might be able to fix the console, or at the very least you can save your game saves if you get another Xbox and an EEPROM reader. You’d use the EEPROM reader to get the EEPROM key from the dead Xbox’s motherboard. Then you’d change the EEPROM on the replacement Xbox to that key. Then you could just plop in your HDD with your game saves and be up and running again.
      Alternatively, you could also use the EEPROM reader and an IDE to SATA adapter. You’d use the key to unlock the HDD (so you can view it’s contents) with XboxHDM 2.3 USB beta and then I think you would from there be able to then use FATXplorer Beta 3.0 to view your game saves folder on the HDD (UDATA folder) and copy them to your PC.
      If you need guidance and are able or willing to do either of these, create a post on the original Xbox subreddit on Reddit and you’ll get help.

    I was a PS2 user when the Original Xbox came out. I got mine in 2006 when they became cheap. bought like 15 games such as Halo, Splinter Cell, Half Life 2, Doom 3, Ninja Gaiden, Hitman Blood Money, Max Payne etc. I have collected a few more titles because of the Xbox One BC. And i also got plenty of free with GwG.
    After the PS2 generation i got a Xbox 360. Later on did got a PS3 for those exclusives. Also recently collecting more Third Party titles. Most of the games are ranging from 5-20 euro. So still a good time to pick these up while the prices are good. I Must have bought over 50 Games by now. But was worth every penny. Because who know's how much they're going charge for them in the upcoming years.
    Plus The X360 and PS3 can still be connected to a HDTV, and Online is still available for the majority of title's.
    But will if i ever get to play them all??? Unlikely. But working on it slowly.

Came back more than a year later and they claimed I wasn't even in the system anymore because it had been so long. For me as a kid that was an absolute tragedy.

    Very few games on the Xbox are 480i only, but with a Modded Console (which I assume pretty much every one has at this point) it's incredibly trivial to patch them to run in 480p. Which means functionally the entire Library is at minimum 480p, which is better than the other console where 480i is inevitable in some games, regardless of what cables you use.

      Why did you choose Dell for your spewing of garbage though? It's a little weird and has me curious. Is the delusion based on something in particular, or did you just pluck it out of a hat?
      DirectX is an API. It can be ported to *anything*. Hardware doesn't need to be customised to run DIrect X. Direct X is customised to support hardware.
      Also, the xbox is based on x86, but it also has custom hardware. Not a single piece of hardware in it is the same as off the sheld components, sans the storage.
      It sure as heck has *nothing* to do with Dell.

    Found my first OG Xbox around 2006-2007 at a Goodwill for $30. I bring it home, and to my surprise when I boot it up, the EvoX Dashboard. I later then found out later when I pulled the motherboard out to do something with the system (I can't remember what) it had a 1st Gen Xbox Enigmah Modchip soldered to the underside of the motherboard. Though being young and stupid at the time I removed it after installing a softmod, and I unfortunately no longer have that old chip.
    But it is still my main Xbox, and now currently is TSOP Flashed, and with a (extremely overkill) 1TB HDD, and in a Ruby Clear XCM case. (Which I got the XCM case for a steal back in the day, now they seem to be worth a fortune)
    I've also got 3 other Xboxes that i've TSOP flashed, one had a semi-corrupted TSOP that would only allow the system to boot once every 15-20 attempts from a cold boot, but after an ordeal I managed to get it flashed which completely fixed the boot issues.
