Is the original XBOX still worth getting?

Oh yes, the original Xbox is worth the money. The refurbished ones at my local EB are $119.99. Not that bad for a great system. Unless you're saving up for a 360, the Xbox is worth the money.

Hello, all,


Even with all the publicity surrounding the 360, I'm not crazy about dropping $400+ on a console yet, and the original is of course, much cheaper. Don't get me wrong..the 360 is tempting as hell to get and some awesome games I would love to play. If I do get the original, which seems will be the course of action, I'm wondering if this is a good console to get used, especially on Ebay? I also hear that the Samsung drive is much better than the Thompson drive, which I'm assuming was in many of the first models released.

It also appears many of the big stores (Wal Mart, Target, Etc) never have the original in stock anymore. I don't know if this is a sign that the XBOX is being phased out and it's all 360 now, or there is still a demand for the original? Yeah..I know I'm a few years late, but I've only had my own consoles for 4 years now, and just got a PS2 last year. Thanks for your thoughts in advance!

The original xbox is so worth getting. I have to admit that i think that the original xbox looks and works a ton better than the 360. I'm a proud owner of the original. And if you want an accurate counting on how the original is take it from people that have an xbox such as myself.
 
i would say get one, unless u have enough, or are saving for a 360. then u can enjoy the xboxs great library (well most of it.....ok....some of it....) and play all the new 360 games ;) ;) ;)
 
You can buy the cheaper 360 for only $300. Not to mention the upcoming price drop with the release of the 360 Elite. BUt still, original Xbox.
