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.

For someone with only 26 subscribers this is an insanely high quality video well done

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 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.

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

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

I'm 12 and my brother, got me a og Xbox I love!!! I have a few games for it. Nice video man keep up, the good work.

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

Great hair system. Also, awesome find brother. Not many around these days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had the Game Cube and the Xbox both amazing. Missed out on basically all of 360 and xbox one era now I have a series x. Stoked!

When I got my OG Xbox recently, I went ahead and removed the clock capacitor. Luckily there wasn’t any damage already done.

this video randomly played after another video I was watching and really thought you were a huge KZfaqr, keep up the good work

i loved the OG xbox, one of my all time fave gaming memories ever.

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.

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.

Welcome to the family. I have three of xbox.1 complete in box, 1 crystal, and a modded black.plus a collection of 268 physical games.

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.

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.

Don't forget to burn some of your favorite CD's on your OG Xbox so you can listen to tracks anytime you want💯😎

Got a 360 from 2010 playing reach is what i look forward to every day when i wake.

so many nostalgic memories came flooding in lol. i remember the day we got Halo 2. xbox live was SO much fun back then.

I got this Xbox for Christmas when it originally came out and I legit cried real tears when I opened it

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

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.

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.

the rock had hair when the OG xbox came out...damn lol

I actually have the first model original Xbox in perfect condition

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 had one back in the day I had put all my music from my CD on there

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)

Had one of the originals and got another one about a year ago. Still play it to this day.

I don’t know where you grew up but where I was growing up. All the kids on my block wanted a PS2 .

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.

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.

I still have my original xbox halo edition with both halo games and simpsons hit and run game for it 😁

I was one of those kids that had the Duke with the original Xbox wow memories

The rock: the Xbox will be the most electrifying thing coming out this year PS2: am I a joke to you

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.

I still have mine...it's so large.. it's like an aircraft carrier!

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

Back then when the Xbox team worked hard to release exclusives. Today, we are getting trailers for Series X exclusives that will not come out

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.

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 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 still have my original xbox first day launch & I went out & bought brute force halo 1-2 the old Mech warrior games , mercenaries games ,scarface

I still have the original xbox, but I haven't used it for a long while.

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.

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,

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

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

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

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.

great video 🔥 I would just recommend more talk on why you bought it instead of a showcase 🙏🏽

Same I got a original xbox yesterday got mine at yard sale. It works also came with halo

My favorite game was halo and project Gotham 2…. I had so many hours in both those games.

Oh wow I totally forgot about the black and white buttons

Check out the Godzilla game on the Xbox is absolutely sick

Modding is the way to go for older systems

i love the xbox, pne of my fav console, like you i didnt had the chance to grow up with one

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!

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.

Smart, I’m in the process of getting one

Silent hill 2 and 4, fable, Morrowind, godfather my favorite Xbox games

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!

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.

The orginal Xbox was not marketed to Children and playing it now you will not get the same experience as it would have been when it was new. The graphics and online play made it next gen compared to the ps2.

Enjoy

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

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

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

Me multiple times trough the video: - that's what she said Edit: lmao, i posted this before the actual joke you made during the video about it.

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.

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.

Just got one in June CIB, so many gems. Currently playing Castlevania, halo 2 and soul caliber 2. Check out Legacy of Kain and splinter cell 🥂

i remember san andreas at my friends house. quality was way better than ps

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

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.

Call me crazy...I loved the Duke.

Definitely seek out Logitech's very nice wireless controllers while the prices aren't obsurd.

Get a set of component cable for HD video output.

Niiice on the Dukes!

Mech assault 1 was awesome

Similar story, but I eventually got an Xbox in 04 for Halo 2!!!

I am looking for an Original Xbox myself for my collection.

Needs a 2TB origins update ;)

My dad Bought a original xbox back in late 2002/early 2003 Roughly 2 years before I was born still have that console but I have another one that I play all my games on its a really fun system Also am I the only who notices on there 1.6 system that the dashboard moves around it doesn't happen with my 1.1 xbox

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.

For a year or so when I was younger, my family had both an original Xbox and a Nintendo 64, the latter of which was loaded with all of the iconic titles you could ask for, except GoldenEye 007. But we had zero appreciation for it, because up to that point myself and my siblings had to basically no exposure to video games outside of offhand mentions in children's shows. So that year and a half was basically squandered, with the only games we were competent at being Mario kart and Ford racing 3 and even then we were hot garbage, the rest of the time was spent getting spooked by the somewhat desolate atmosphere in those old games and otherwise dicking around getting lost in the hub worlds

I used to use the mad catz controller it was was best one my opinion

I bought one too

I bought my OG Xbox from a pawn shop back in 2005 for $125 with 3 games and 3 controllers. I still have it, it still runs great and I've added to the games over the years. Bought new controllers on Amazon and a resurfacer to save my games now the kids are older. Only thing I've had since we're the Wii and some different handhelds for the kids.

The thing was only out 4 years before the 360 launched!
