I got the Xbox my senior year of high school and I never looked back. The thing that blew me away at the time was the hard drive and not needing a memory card. It was unbelievable. By the spring I had bought Rainbow Six 3 and gotten XBL. By the fall I had nearly flunked out of college because I was playing live from sunset to sunrise. Love this console. Still have it, still play it.

Just pop in the disc, you're in the game instantly without installing, you sign in to Xbox Live in the game, make friends along the way as you're matchmaking in Live enabled games, and can download DLC. Can't forget the masking option and open game chat too while very few went into a private party chat!

As someone who’s had their original Xbox since 2003 I can say that buying the memory card was beyond worth it. My console has been on its last leg for some time and I’ve put dozens upon dozens of hours into certain games. The memory card (although not perfect) has let me copy & transfer some of those saves to my new original Xbox console I recently picked up (limited edition green Halo Xbox). It’s pretty hit or miss but if one of the games you’re looking to transfer supports the memory card it’s a great “get out of jail free” card for someone with a dwindling system. NFL Street 2 was the game that made me the happiest, as I was able to copy my saved teams I spent decades playing with, onto my new console.

I love playing all my games right off the hard drive plus all the emulators / Chihiro games. I'm currently playing Virtua Cop 3, Phantom Dust, and Silent Hill 2 (never played this version vs ps2 ver back in the day). This is truly the Dreamcast 2 we never actually got from Sega. I need to get to playing JSRF and PDO great mentions guys. Oh yeah, and if you get the xbox to ps2 controller adapter it makes playing fighting games/ MAME games great since you can hook up your arcade sticks / Saturn ps2 controller.

OG Xbox is my favorite console of that generation and maybe favorite of all time. The 6th generation of consoles was really the last one that had the full games on the disc along with the developers actually taking chances on new games. After this generation, the games seemed to cost so much to develop that only sure fire hits/sequels were being made. 90% of the 3rd party games on Xbox were the best versions! Love it! Great video fellas! Keep them coming!

You are spot on. 6th Gen was epic. And since then things have gotten very formulaic as you mention. Developers where trying tons of new things and the 4 major consoles were all great.

Fun video guys, the common problem with the XBox is the disc tray sticking. A tip to get past the disc tray issue is to take the rubber band out and put it in boiling water for a little while, if that does not work you can order them cheap and replace it easily. Many games on the XBox are cheap I would recommend giving Dragon's Lair 3D, Brute Force, and Crimson Skies a try they are cheap and fun!

You would go to a friend's house, sit on the couch, and they would hand you an Xbox controller to play Halo. They didn't even ask if you wanted to play; they just flopped a controller in your lap. I always sucked at it, but still have lots of great memories. Cheers guys!

Started recollecting again and after losing my original copy years ago, it really is shocking how cheap some of the games are. Panzer Dragoon Orta as an example is still around $80 AUD. People still have massive nostalgia for the GameCube and PS2, hence how expensive they are to collect for (which is understandable), but as the years roll on, people will start to understand the true worth of the OG XBOX and value for games will absolutely skyrocket. Still an awesome time to get in while everything is still cheap!

Nice video! Personally I'm a big fan of the Xbox Original as it was a childhood console. It's definitely great for 3rd party titles. The console having a built-in hard drive allowed certain games to only be possible on the OG Xbox and PC during that generation. I think people should get the console but also of course in the long run I'd recommend someone get all the consoles from the 6th generation as they all have their own great exclusives and qualities.

One of the common problems with the OG Xbox was some of the earlier models had faulty clock capacitors that would eventually leak and corrode the motherboard resulting in a red circle of death. My Xbox back in 2003 did that after only a year of owning it. I bought it brand new which came with the smaller S controller and the Sega GT/JSRF bundle game. I bought a used Xbox 4 years ago and it still works great so if you're buying an OG Xbox in 2021 then chances are it's not going to have that problem.

I love the OG Xbox and collecting for it. The console and games are cheap at the moment but some of the rarer titles are starting to get up to the $100 range. I think in time collecting for it will start to catch on as it becomes hard to find. And you raised a good point that there are only a handful of games that are on the backwards compatibility list. The OG Xbox is also an emulators dream and easy to hack to load your entire game collection on a larger hard drive eliminating the need to use your discs.

Thank you guys! I've been waiting for this video for so long. In this generation of consoles, I only had money for one console. I chose the Xbox and it was a very good decision. She was brilliant in multiplayer alone. Halo 1 + 2, Project Gotham Racing 2, Sega GT, Rallysport Challenge 2, Jet Set Radio Future, Fable, Doom 3, DoA 3, Ghost Recon 2, Otogi 1 + 2, Panzer Dragoon Orta, XIII, Red Faction 2, Burnout 3, SSX 3, Outrun 2, KOTOR, Tony Hawk 3 and many, many more games that give me these Sweetened time. I still love them to this day even if there were of course a few PS2 or CG exclusive games that I was a bit jealous of at times. But it was the other way also.

We are far from experts with the good ol' XBOX. We only really started getting into it about 3 years ago. We were missing out for sure. We both played Halo and stuff back in the day with friends and stuff but never really dug into what it had to offer. It is truly a brilliant machine. It is our Burnout 3 console :). Can't get enough of that game. Really glad that it has stayed relatively cheap to collect for. 6th Gen was epic man. Thanks a ton for watching. Cheers!

I ordered another OG Xbox a month ago & it just came in today. I have fond memories with the Xbox & N64 because they were both handed down to me by my older bro & older nephew. But the OG Xbox handed to me by my brother literally stuck with me because I would play HOTD3 so much & beat it several times & I still have all 250+ games that I had as a kid especially the ones that are going up in price. Just have so many memories & nostalgia with it!

I think it’s obvious we love our OG Xbox. We lost one of ours to a leaky capacitor unfortunately but thankfully they are pretty cheap to buy. Great game selections as always, thought we had JSRF but I guess not. I’ll be on the look out for it in March Cheers 🍻

Turns out the combo version of JSRF is way cheap. Like $10-$15 ish. Keep your eyes peeled for that one. Cheers to the OG XBOX and.........THE DUKE! Lol
