    I'm in love - with an xbox - sad but true

    Invested in the orginal xbox for my son for his 6th birthday, god I've falled in love with it. The graphics are out of this world, been hammering lego star wars 2 (bit of a star wars nut anyway) and it's the biz. Sure all of this is old hat to many out there but at ?49.99 from Argos as posted but some of you on this forum it was a bargin. Thanks for those who sent me there - you know who you are.
    Hmmmmmmm, found someone you have !

    Aye the old xbox is hard to beat but I havent even played the new one yet.

    There are a few shops that have stopped buying in the old xbox games so you will get the last ones for peanuts, I got a few from pcworld for 3.99 each and they were all new games and argos are doing 4 new ones for 25 quid but the games are picked for you Forza, Halo 2, PGR2, Fable 4.

    Re: I'm in love - with an xbox - sad but true

    I too still love my old trusty xbox 1, i've got 2 of them and use them for playing games (obviously) (Halo 2 is still my fav game) and they are the best media player I've ever come across, they're easy to mod, and there's load of homebrew software (XBMC being the best of the best), i just wont get rid of my xbox 1 downstairs, even though there'e a 360 next to it, maybe when the 360 is fully modded, i'll put it in the spare room, but till then its still going strong, maybe when Halo 3 comes out then i'll stop playing games on it.....

    You cant beat a modded xbox with Xbox Media Center installed, and the emulators you can get for it will keep the kids quite for hours, oh and they keep me quite for hours too Hidden Content

    Re: I'm in love - with an xbox - sad but true

    I'm a very late starter. I got my first console (not counting a Commodore 64) just over a year ago and the best thing is Xbmc.

    I now have two Xboxs softmodded and they are great. Play any xbox games, divx, stream to HDTV etc.

    Though, I keep thinking about the 360, now if only play divx with all that transcoding......

    xbox is brilliant. still using mine with xbmc on it and a 320gb hard drive. got all my tv episodes on it. i love the fact that i still use it even though i have a 360 (not for games). its also good for emulators. bargain at ?50 new much better than ps2

    Re: I'm in love - with an xbox - sad but true

    I think the games are great too! I still love Burnout and Fable and Dreamfall and Beyond Good and Evil.

    But it's also a great media centre if you soft-mod it with Splinter Cell and put XBMC on it. You can even watch You Tube videos through it...

    Re: I'm in love - with an xbox - sad but true

    Does anybody know why and orginal game wouldn't work on my modded box, kick me but can't remember the name, one of the car racing ones (not project gotham 2), funny thing though, I download a copy of the same game as a test and that also wouldn't work. The orginal game works though on somebodies whose is modded and one that isn't modded....so it's not a bad disk.

    STRANGE !!!!!!!!!!!!
    Hmmmmmmm, found someone you have !

    Re: I'm in love - with an xbox - sad but true

    Sounds like a lazy laser. I had a xbox that wouldnt play some games whatever you did but others it played fine and then the following day it played everything!! i gave up in the end and got a new one and that worked great!
