Forums - Gaming - Did you know about the original XBOX before the 360?

yeah, remember it. friend bought it "preloaded" with extra-stuff... ftp'ing games to the xbox' hdd and just play it... without the original xbox we wouldn't have xbmc by now, btw. the controller was cool, although a little bit too big. a heaven for homebrew and hacking, with a lot of good games.

My GF's nephew got one for Christmas in 2001. He idolized me and wanted to impress me but I was a PS2 fan. I downplayed every thing about the system and criticised it so much that he soon traded it in for a Gameboy Advance, Dragon Ball Z: Legacy of Goku, and Castlevania.

To this day, I feel bad about that. I even bought him a 360 for Christmas 2011. Hope it makes up for my being an asshole. :(

I knew about it and played it some. It was a clunky device. Controllers were awkward.

Neither controller was clunky in my opinion.  The original "Duke" nor the "S-Controller".  In fact, the S-Controller and the Xbox 360 Controller are virtually the same.  The major difference between the two are the Xbox 360 controller is slightly larger, uses two shoulder buttons rather than the White and Black button, and the Xbox 360 controller has the guide button.

I was a console fanboy.  Didn't have an Xbox so I trash talked it.  Fast forward to 2007 and Xbox 360 was my favorite console.  He was about 11 or 12, at the time.  I don't know what got into me.  We were at his grandmother's house on Christmas (where everybody in their family goes for Christmas) and I saw him open up the box.  Still remember the pic of him holding the console over his head like he was Link and he just discovered the Tri Force.  When we were on our own, I suddenly went into "Hater Mode".

  • "PS2 was better"
  • "I don't like the controler"
  • "The graphics are kinda blurry"
  • "I want to play Final Fantasy"
  • "I don't really like first person games"
  • "It's kinda big, isn't it?"

I was even the guy that connected it to the TV in the bedroom that day.  Like I said, I was an asshole.  We're still close and I still remind him of that incident and I still feel bad about it.

I had the fable crystal edition so sexy



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

Yes I own one bought the console when it still came with the fat controller.



You cant call yourself a gamer if you have not finished Halo 1.

Yes I know...But gameswise I hardly knew anything..It is when I got an xbox in 2004 that I found out it had an lot of exclusives that I did not hear of.. to name some.

I was waiting for so long for a Dino crisis 3 and then I saw that game in stores and was like 'WTF'.. why nobody told me?

 

Come on, when I pick up this game people still are shocked to see it got an sequel (that was kind of good)..

This one I knew and it is hoping the next one will release this year...

Remake of one of the best N64 games! 

  You collect all those awesome PS2 SMT games and then you find out that Xbox also got one o_o!!

One of the games I got an xbox for ^^'

  Also one that I did not knew and was very happy with :).





And so many more;..

Didn't own any of these but I do own Crazy Taxi 3 which is the best game in the franchise since it also includes enhanced versions of the first two games.



Yes, I used to play Halo 2 on it with buddies. But I probably didn't know of it until maybe 2004.
