I agree with you completely, the original Xbox was reliable, brought some great ideas to the realm of consoles (hard drive, online play, the little dongles that disconect instead of pulling your console), as a CONSOLE it was great. It was powerfull, had functionality, and looked decent lol. |
I remember there being a few reports of the power cable sparking in early models, I believe there was one case where there was a fire.... In thr physical sense it was sturdy, you could hit it with a hammer and nothing happens, but electronically it wasn't incredibly reliable.
What the hell is wrong with your eyes?
I agree with the other points though, it did have some good ideas (online, HDD etc... the dongles were a great idea but wireless overtook it... and the dongles i had experiance were a bit stiff, if the x-box hadn't been so heavy they wouldn't have worked)
I would argue that the x-box was overrated by Americans, and underrated by the Japanese. whereas the GC is underated by the Europeans and Japanese, but about right among Americans (they did buy well over 50% of them)
