5.0 out of 5 stars Best machine Microsoft has ever made, June 22, 2011

This review is from: Microsoft Xbox - Video Game Console (Console)

I have the very first build of the Xbox, and let me just say that after YEARS of playing it (we preordered it), with hundreds upon hundreds, maybe around 1500 different save files, the damn thing STILL has... you guessed it, "50,000+ Blocks", and is still kickin. I strongly recommend modding it with a media center hack, and turning it into your personal entertainment system for classic games, regular DVDs, and music. Great thing. I freakin wish that Microsoft hadn't been its creator, they are such cheap bastards, and original Xbox live doesn't work anymore, but still a good piece of gaming history. Greatest Xbox original games of all time, that I've played:

-Halo: Combat Evolved
-Halo 2
-Cell Damage
-007: Goldfinger
-Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (I and II)
-Burnout: Revenge
-Need For Speed 3: Hot Pursuit
-Heroes of the Pacific
-Brothers in Arms: Earned in Blood
-Call of Duty (the original)
-Medal of Honor: Rising Sun
-Medal of Honor: Frontline
-Tao Feng
-Star Wars: Battlefront (I and II)
-Hitman

But out of all of those, Halo: Combat Evolved is hands down the best, without dispute.
Amen.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great system, July 3, 2009

The original Xbox was (and though a bit dated, still is) a great video game console. Released in November 2001, the Xbox allowed you to play games (including Popular titles such as Halo: Combat Evolved, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, and even the recently released Madden NFL 09), watch DVD's (although you must first purchase an inexpensive Xbox DVD remote), and play and rip tracks from CD's (which can even be used as custom, in-game tracks with some Xbox games). Other features include a built-in hard drive (which has plenty of room for game saves, downloaded Xbox content, and music), four controller ports, and Xbox LIVE (an online gaming service allowing subscribers to play Xbox games online with other subscribers around the world and download new content for their games to the system's hard drive). If your looking for a gaming system that will keep you entertained for a good while, but you can't afford a PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360, you should give the original Xbox a try.

While this is A big system, it's very powerful, and the built in hard drive makes it more convenient for saving my game progress. The games I've played on it so far are pretty fun after playing the ones that work on the 360. Overall, A good buy.
