I have never had an Xbox of any kind

[Trainer Red]

I practically *JUST* bought an Xbox like last weekend LOL
I was even more surprised I was able to find a *NEW* status Xbox One Series S ...
So far ... it'd been interesting ~
I like how there's a bunch of sales on their digital store too so buying games that were tagged for $90 ... only for $5 ( NFS Heat - Deluxe Edition ) ... so yeah not bad !

Though I kinda see why people who have played the GTA series want an HD version of IV ... the game is like fuzzy to look at to say the least :/ ...

I owned the OG XBOX on Release Date the memories from games like HALO, Project Gotham Racing, KOTOR and many more are priceless. On the other hand i bought the latest 2013 Xbox 360 version where i played the MASS EFFEST trilogy, DW Gundam Trilogy and Armored Core had super fun. That's the only Microsoft Consoles i bought in my gaming life, of course i tested all of them.

I have never had the pleasure of owning an Xbox console of any stripe. So I ask you Xbox owners what are the Xbox consoles like, how are their games, and what is it like growing up with them?

I love my OG XBox! I’d recommend looking into the best ways to maintain it, since it’s aging and having issues nowadays, but it’s the best way to experience most sixth Gen games. Cleans up amazing, has functioning online for many older titles, and stuff like CD ripping and playback is STILL a useful feature.

Xbox is a big “robots and mech suits” kind of console, with a little bit of “cool ass ninjas” built in. On the fringe edges of the XBox identity, you find the cool obscure stuff that nobody talks about aside from folks like us, like it’s a secret club and we hold the keys to it.

Xbox requires certain kinds of gaming tastes, but it’s great.

I liked the 360. Past that, I've always preferred Sony's controllers and Nintendo's exclusives.

I never had one either I just wanna be in the convo.

Xbox is simply more hardcore than its contemporaries. The gamecube? For kids. PS2? It's great and all but the Xbox...it is a monster and a half. Challenging and high quality games with still impressive technology, online play to prove if you're really the best, and of course a bustling community willing to join you.

One of my favorite things about the original Xbox is being able to save any music CDs onto its dedicated hard drive, and then play those songs in the background of certain games, like Forza Motorsport. Really felt like listening to your radio while driving.

since the X BOX was more powerful than the PS2, games released on both supports and on GameCube looked better on the X BOX.

One exception to this rule is Metal Gear Solid 2, which looks noticeably worse and has a lower framerate on Xbox, to the point of changing certain speedrun routes. Honestly, it's probably because it's a rushed port, but yeah.

The OG Xbox is way easier and nicer to take apart and work on/solder than the PS2.
Now I love my PS2, however I dread taking it apart, cleaning it or working on it.
I'm especially not a fan of the PS2's exposed power board with it's giant capacitors.

I think I owned 3 different 360s over the years. Also had a One for awhile that I sold. But what really made me a fan was Fable and its DLC. It was like no experience I'd ever had.
I also just realized there is a supreme lack of demon door gifs online so I made one

Xbox is good. I like it.
Xbox’s great point is reliability.

Xbox OG was way stronger than PS2 and had built-in play which was important, Halo was the biggest 6th gen online multiplayer game. I don’t think there was any competition. Your Xbox OG had a decent shelf life.

360 was even better with the Xbox arcade stuff, cheap and small games and just really easy to collect for. Having a 360 back then almost meant you were set for life.

Xbone was even better. Tons of unique options. Some were short lived like PiP which is a shame. Could’ve been useful but you could so much with it.

Series is interesting. I think both series consoles rock. Both a flawless emulation machine, to the point you can hack your series to play bloodborne. Dev mode is incredible. You can theoretically play almost any disc on your series x.

Brah. You are like always the most helpful dude on here.
