I recently un-earthed my original Xbox. Gave it a clean up and hooked it up to my HDTV via component cables. Played the first Halo(of course) and was surprised by how nice it looked even to this day. The build quality of both variants of the official controllers was also impressive. The console itself had some nice features for its time too such as built in hard drive, ethernet port(now essentially non-functional), PAL-60 support, 480P/720P/1080i resolutions, wide screen options etc. Compared to the 360 which was riddled with hardware flaws and the Xbox 1 which was initially focused as a media centre with gaming being an adjunct to it, I would say Microsoft's first foray into console gaming was their best effort. What do you guys reckon?
