The Xbox was my childhood god. I had a ps2 and a Gamecube and well hey got pretty boring.

Ps2 was nothing but Dmc games and god of war and Gamecube was nothing but Mario though I enjoyed my Gamecube all the way!
Sonic adventures 2 Battle was awesome!

Then the Xbox came to my life... As soon as i opened that box to take out another box it was awesome! That box was packed with all these features....4 controller ports! And Halo!. I played Halo all the time with my friends and this weird robot game that just plain kicked ***!. I also got Castlevania: Curse of Darkness and man that game is legendary to me!

Then came the time when I modded my Xbox.. It was sweet! 1000's of neo geo, cps1, cps2 and cps3
Snk vs Capcom. That was sweet!

Then the sad thing happened... I had to sell it.. NOOOO!!!! Damn school supplies..... But it's school before games right?

Then my friend gave me his!!! YAY!!!! But there is a problem..
No games!!

Dont listen to these kids. Im with you there. Anyone who actually ever modded the Xbox1 in the past knew how great it was.
It may be an antique now and last generation but it was the best console ever produced as a modding friendly machine.It could do everything. You could run it like a pc with an operating system and all.
I recently gave mine away simply because I didnt play it anymore since it was last generation.

They were very reliable too. I had mine for over ten years without it ever breaking down once unlike the rrods I got with my 360.

May be old but by far the best system to mod ever. Nothing has ever come close to it.
But like everyone else most people want the new tech and new graphics. All old consoles bascially become door stops over time whether they work or not
I had over 400 games with over a hundred of them right on the Xbox.

agreed

btw does it run linux too?

I gave away my halo green xbox 1 a few months back, I regret it. I still have the component cable for 720p/1080i, the ps controller adapter and a dud regular black xbox that I might resurrect. Media center and the emu's haven't been beaten by any other console imho, this is exactly where i'm hoping the ps3 devs are going, I don't care about backups.

I hard modded my halo xb by soldering 2 points and flashing, I used the hacked game save for 007 agent under fire, this was back in 2001.

I say this fits into retro gaming as the emulators where for retro machines.

The xbox was my very first gaming system that i ever owned.Modded it and played on xbconnect all day long.

I'm totally with you there. I have 4 OXB's I used for media centers all through the house and I loved them. Once ps3mediaserver came out though, I had to have the HD. It's nowhere near as awesome as XBMC though.
