Message: [QUOTE="TamagotchiTamaHero24, post: 273074, member: 215120"] No, I would say it is. Among younger generations (those who were born around 1997 onward) the original XBox’s legacy has been very much tainted. It’s the least desired system of its generation at used game stores, which hurts because it really is a spectacular box. Even in the modern day, it’s not the king of the mods anymore, losing that crown to the Wii and 3DS. Anyway, when I got my box in the early 2020’s, I couldn’t believe what I had missed out on all these years. Special bonus features, custom soundtracks, super fast loading from the HDD, and a bevy of comparatively cheap exclusives that are phenomenal. For all those who can’t afford the PS2 and GameCube market, the original Xbox is a fantastic console of the period in need of love! Shoutouts to the Blinx games for being my under-loved favorites!

The best bet is to get a system from right before the 1.6 motherboards if you want to mod it, but my system is past that and has never done me wrong. Regardless, it’s important to remember: you’re playing with early 2000’s PC parts, so be open to performing maintenance if you need to. [/QUOTE]
