5.0 out of 5 stars
Reviewing a last-gen console a year+ after the latest came out, April 8, 2007
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
First things first, my initial reaction to reviewer jon "Sam" (MI):
"Moron." Imagine that, a company not supporting an obsolete system over a year after their hardware became obsolete.
Anyway, with that out of the way, the green Halo Edition X-Box is a good investment, providing you don't care that it's almost completely obsolete. It's a good value if all you want to do is play old games. I got mine in Spring '04 and from the time I got it to the time I got the 360 and sold the old one last week, I had absolutely no problems with it. It still runs great, even after a year in a college townhouse. If you want reliability and don't mind not having any new games to play, this console can't be beat.

Best system EVER., September 15, 2007
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
I'm 21 and I'm in college. Some of the best parts of my life so far have been hanging out with friends and family playing games. When I was little the Super Nintendo was my favorite, then as I matured PC Games became an addiction. I never bought another console. That is until I played an X-Box at my friends house when I was 15. Now I own one, that I have moded with Linux X-Box Distro so I can play some PC Games on it as well, and an X-Box 360* (which is also moded with Linux X-Box Distro). These are the Nintendo systems of the new millennium. Great games for any kind of player, easy controls, and they're a blast for multi-player games (which seems like a specialty for X-Box that it does FAR better than the Wii or PS3).
To the previous reviewer that said Microsoft hated its customers I say this:
You bought your X-Box a month before the X-Box 360* was released!? Do you realize that the X-Box has been out since 2001!? Thats six years the system was out when you bought it and you STILL EXPECT M$ to support it!? Are you NUTS!? Did Nintendo, Sony, or SEGA ever support any of their old systems with NEW games when a new system came out? No!!! Neither does MS. A word of advice BUY A SYSTEM WHEN IT IS ***NEW*** IF YOU WANT ***NEW*** GAMES!

Microsoft Xbox, November 5, 2005
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
So your looking at buying an xbox? here is the experience i have had with mine:
I have had my xbox for a year and a half with no problems, well, i mean there was a frozen screen every now and then. but it was very rare.because of xboxes great graphics chip and CPU it can play the same quality game as the ones you can find on you PC. (which is better than the PS2 and Gamecube).
The design of the xbox is a little bulky, but at least it looks kinda cool.
In the past people have complained about faulty DVD disk drives. what they say WAS true, you see, Microsoft has made a NEW xbox system for the same price of 150. they made this system in march 2004.I have had my NEW xbox versian since it came out in march. and i have had no problems what so ever. and for the one person who wants 3 good games for the xbox..well here they are! Halo 2 (not on computer) Star Wars Nights of the old republic 2 and fusion Frenzy... thats only 3 but i can go on for days naming games like: Starwars republic commando, burnout revenge, half life 2, battlefront 1 & 2, KOTOR, project gothem 1 & 2 that are all good. one reviewer said that it is cheaper to buy a computer??? .... most computers cost around 500 dollars to get a decent one about the same quality of an xbox! and computer games arent 2 player unless you have more than 1 computer! so if you want to play xbox halo 1 2 player then you buy an xbox (150) and 1 extra controller (25) and halo (20) so that adds up to about 200
for a computer halo 2player you need 2 300 computers (600) 2 DIFFERENT disks of halo 1 (40) 640
so here is your choice... play halo1 2player with a computer and spend 640
or get halo1 for xbox 2player and spend 200. the choice is yours.
xbox holds more power than ps2 AND gamecube put together (well almost as much)! the xbox comes with 4 controller ports and a BUILT IN network adapter. Yes, with xbox live you pay 30 bucks a year.....but you can join clans talk to eachother play anyone anywhere And make friendslist and instant message with them!!! ps2 all you can do is instant message.... and with ps2 you need to buy a 100 dollar network adapter(NOT with the slimline edition)..so for the price of the adapter you can have 3 years of xbox live...'
and in 3 years from now, hmmmmm i would probibly alreadt have bought myself an xbox 360 or ps3 :)
