I’m 16 and I’ve always loved the original Xbox. My dad is huge old game era collector and recently gave me his Xbox collection, I personally enjoy it more than the recent generation of gaming.
That’s awesome of your dad… my older brother passed down his PS1 collection to me and I still have it today. Hold on to that Xbox - it’s a treasure 💪🏽
Great to see youngsters loving the OG XBOX. It’s a very underrated and underappreciated console!!! Many of the third-party games run better on the system and what’s so cool about it is that in some games, they can play custom music from when you rip it off from a CD to the hard drive
Lol the original XBOX died before you were even born but I’m glad that you appreciate the awesome games that came with it.
I would get it if it was a NES or something. But theres no reason except nostalgia to play O.G Xbox. Most of the games can be played upscaled on xbox one/360 and series x
@King Anubis bro said he’s 16 in 2022 😂😂😂
It's always a good idea to own older consoles like this one because they are plug and play. Unlike modern stuff now that are full of constant updates and DLC
For someone with only 26 subscribers this is an insanely high quality video well done
this means a lot to me. thank you
@@JasonDuaineHahn wow I didn't even notice! You did a great job with the video bro.
I own 2 OG xbox consoles, including one from near launch and they still work fine all these years later
excellent console with alot of good games, its nice to go back to these older games. IMO, I find that modern gaming has taken a step in the wrong direction and find myself bored or not interested in a lot of the newer releases and this is where retro comes in and saves the day.
That's amazing... these OG xbox machines are definitely built like tanks, haha
I found this a bit ironic because when I bought the Xbox back in 2003, my sister invited her friends and played Xbox and PS1 loaded with 500 NES emulated games. We ended up spending more time with NES games because the games are not lengthy to play and somewhat less complicated.
@@JasonDuaineHahn not exactly, my 2 xbox 1.4(2004) were dying (screen flickering really baaad) now they're ok after replaced those exhausted capacitors :)
@@JasonDuaineHahn look up leaking clock capacitor on Xbox. Those need to be removed or replaced if you're capable as you only lose time keeping capability when unplugged, not a big deal.
Did you get the clock capacitor out and if so is it a hard process?
Better late than never dude, I have ended up owning 10 OG's and use them for all manner of things especially back in the 00's they were my media centers with xbmc. Now it's emulation and gaming powerhouses still to this day that can be hooked up to CRTs and modern flatscreens so convenient and have them hooked up all over the house and garage. Absolutely brilliant
definitely agree... I think they look great too. I ended up keeping mine in the living room and love how that green logo stands out
Glad you're joining the OG Xbox club! In addition to removing the clock capacitor, also make sure to softmod and TSOP flash it so it won't turn into a brick if the hard drive dies.
It's so cool to see someone actually getting games and consoles as they were intended. To play and have fun! The speculative market really ruined game collecting for me. It was fun to see your excitement in this video.
I was an OG xbox kid back in 2003 so this was nostalgic for me.
I appreciate that, thanks a lot 🙌🏼 I definitely had fun making this video (even if a few of the games that came in the box ended up too scratched to play, haha)
I remember as a 12-13 year old looking at Xbox when they first appeared at Toys R Us. They were like Alien technology to me. Never actually played it or held it. One day I'll get it. Just got a N64 for the first time ever and made a video on it.
She's a beaut. I've always wanted to play on a real OG Xbox, but the thing was never sold in my country so I pretty much just stuck to PS2 and PC back in the day.
the PS2 era gave us some great memories though 💪🏼 but if you're interested in the OG xbox at all, check out some used ones... might even get a better deal then the one I got haha
this video randomly played after another video I was watching and really thought you were a huge RUclipsr, keep up the good work
thank you for that 🙏🏽 it’s appreciated!
I had the Game Cube and the Xbox both amazing. Missed out on basically all of 360 and xbox one era now I have a series x. Stoked!
Great video man! The office and Happy Gilmore references = me subscribing to your channel! Keep up the good work and FYI the clock capacitor removal isn't too difficult and worth doing for sure. You can determine what motherboard revision you have while inside too.
Hi, in my 2 xboxes ver 1.4 I had to replace the capacitors under the gpu/cpu in order to resolve the terrible screen flickering !
Same tging here with PS 3 and XBOX 360. I have a PC more powerful than both together multiple times, buth i am so happy and full of joy to have them now, for the first time in my life. I missed on that whole hipe just like you did, and i understand that joy of getting t6hem. Have a lot of owessume time with it.
I'm 12 and my brother, got me a og Xbox I love!!! I have a few games for it. Nice video man keep up, the good work.
will do! and sounds like you have a great brother!
Pretty awesome system, I have gone through three of them. Two the disc's stopped reading and tray stopped opening. But I still have one that works and have a ton of games for it still too 😊
I love my OG XBOX and am still buying games for it. It is a classic piece of gaming history and in my opinion the best console of that generation to collect for.
I just modded mine lol
because you dont have those 1.4 versions ! They fatally fail after all these years specially those capacitors rendering it useless
@@djm1ch0l4s9 so you saying 1.4 versions don't break down?
@@davidm4677 The Opposite ! ver 1.4 are known to fail (not them all obviously!)
Great hair system. Also, awesome find brother. Not many around these days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yep, holding on to this one for a long time to come!
great video 🔥 I would just recommend more talk on why you bought it instead of a showcase 🙏🏽
Man me and my friends had a massive blast with the og xbox, just like you we played goldeneye twisted metal and all that jazz, but nothing beat 16 player Lan parties in that Era on halo 1, was downright amazing and memories that will never fade man
Welcome to the family. I have three of xbox.1 complete in box, 1 crystal, and a modded black.plus a collection of 268 physical games.
i loved the OG xbox, one of my all time fave gaming memories ever.
1:44 i used to have that EGM magazine back in the day. Had my mind on Xbox completely ignoring GameCube but still wanted that ps2. Ended up with the OG xbox & my first game was Ninja Gaiden.
I missed my young days getting this console. I just bought mine last year, and upgraded it with 1 TB SATA HDD to store the games inside it, plus getting third party, old-stock wirelsess controller that resembled Type S controller. Although it was an old console, but I do enjoyed it, no matter what
that upgrade sounds like a nice idea! you gave that old console new life 💪🏼
@@JasonDuaineHahn yeah, if you've got a chance like me, you should do it. I did try to revive few of ths original Xbox MOBOs, and all of them are failed, which made me frustrated, until I got the working one that I've mentioned above
Did the same tbh. Got mine, upgraded it with a 2TB HDD and moved hundreds of games to the HDD because that weak optical disc drive is starting to fail in all revisions. Plus, the default 8GB IDE HDD is probably not on good health these days. You can put almost the entire console library on a 2TB drive which is pretty fun.
Also replaced all capacitors with new ones that won't leak and of course the general cleaning like removing dust and reapplying thermal paste.
I like the Type S controller and it's my main, it's the Japanese limited edition one.
Another cool thing you can do is restore the DLC for the few games that had it since they were gone when Live was shutdown, thankfully the community saved them.
Hi, good vid.. Some questions please: 1) Which video cable you use cause quality is very good !? 2)if its version 1.4 (2003-2004) you should probably check also the capacitors near the cpu-gpu because if exhausted they make the screen flickering really baaaad
Niiice on the Dukes!
so many nostalgic memories came flooding in lol. i remember the day we got Halo 2. xbox live was SO much fun back then.
I got a few used Original XBox consoles at yard sales for $5 each. Most of them worked fine. Great system and can be modded to play retro games. Sold 2 of my Xbox consoles this month for $100 each so it seemed that the interest in OG console have increased.
I've just set up my classic xbox from 2003 for first time in like 8 years. Also just gave it the FIRST ever clean. And by clean I mean vacuum cleaner on the vents which were absolutely blocked hahaha. runs absolutely fine though
I still game on my original Xbox. I also have a 360 slim and Series S. Game that I’m playing on my original Xbox is Painkiller Hell wars. Awesome video dude.
Smart, I’m in the process of getting one
I had one back in the day I had put all my music from my CD on there
but a good vid - takes me back to my youth when i get me an Xbox OG, had heaps of fun times playing Crimson skies n Fable.
dam 12 subs n i thought i was the lowest on 31 (not to worry bro i got u i subbed n liked - my only wonder is will i get just a like or actual comment from the uploader)
That's right, I had completely forgotten about Crimson Skies! I remember seeing that in stores back in the day but never played. Just checked and it's actually on GamePass now - so might be time to give it a try 👀
i was thinking of buying one to add on my collection and play it at the same time
but how do you change game disc and how do you turn it off because I'm a beginner when it comes to this console
unlike the xbox 360 and xbox one
When I got my OG Xbox recently, I went ahead and removed the clock capacitor. Luckily there wasn’t any damage already done.
right on... I need to open mine this weekend and check on that finally
I suggest you to also check the capacitors under cpu/gpu, mine were exhausted and made the console unplayable !
Very nice. Pick yourself up a Xedusa from Beharbros to get a better video out and higher resolution (Tony Hawk 4 runs in 720p on xbox). You might want to pair that with an mclassic if you want to upscale and anti-alias it further, but it's not a necessity. Then take a trip to mod town and get that thing soft modded
The OG has a bunch of fun military shooters on it from the Ghost Recon series to Rainbow Six games to the Conflict series also Delta Force Black Hawk Down. I've been playing Conflict Desert Storm all week and am still trying to beat Mission 4. I either get my crew killed by a tank or the scuds go off ending the mission.
Same I got a original xbox yesterday got mine at yard sale. It works also came with halo
Perfect combo
i love the xbox, pne of my fav console, like you i didnt had the chance to grow up with one
Had one of the originals and got another one about a year ago. Still play it to this day.
That's awesome. What are you playing on it these days?
@@JasonDuaineHahn I play Doom 3, ultimate Spider-Man, and original halo games.
Just got one in June CIB, so many gems. Currently playing Castlevania, halo 2 and soul caliber 2. Check out Legacy of Kain and splinter cell 🥂
I just got a og xbox and I'm modding mine with aladdin xt plus2 a led 60mm evercool silent fan 120gb ssd secondary gpu fan heatsink from a 1.0 which mine is an 1.1 but I have and power adapter to power the gpu fan
Please help with the game SCARFACE!: we are very few to have that game, my brand new disc of Scarface IS NOT READ(!) in the og xbox but only on the Xbox360 in retrocompatibility (!) ..any idea ?
I got this Xbox for Christmas when it originally came out and I legit cried real tears when I opened it
that’s an awesome memory, nothing better than a console on christmas 💪🏽
Get a set of component cable for HD video output.
You can get an adapter for the Xbox to be able to use a PlayStation 2 controller. I had one, it worked great, didn't need an Xbox controller to work, you just plugged the adapter in, plugged in the PlayStation controller. Plug and play.
what i loved of the original xbox was xbox live. i got xbox live the day it came out November 15, 2002 which will be 20th anniversary soon , and i still have the same account in my xbox series x after all those years. i kept renewing my subscription since then. when xbox live shut down , we could still use our account on the new platform. my favorite game back then was moto gp and i played also mechassault. it was so cool to play on xbox live multiplayer games when it came out and be able to add friends and chat with a mic with everyone. this was really incredible and something new to me. i also remember the ring of death problem with the original xbox systems. i had a few original xbox systems that got defective like this before i got one that worked for years.
I had the original Xbox when it first came out with nba 2k3 madden 2003 and tony hawk 2x. I had a lot of music from that time period burned onto the Xbox also that I’d listen to while I played. I believe it stopped working after a while and I got rid of it unfortunately which was a big mistake but a couple of years ago I decided to get it again and now I have an even larger collection than I did in the past. Original Xbox will always hold a special place with me because I got it as a teenager and played it a lot during my middle and high school years
Tony Hawk 4 is a great game for this platform, it even runs smoothly in 720p which I find impressive for a +20 years old console. Same with TH Underground. I think the later titles dropped the HD resolution though
Do they still work I know these brand came out when I was little and they play the same games like GameCube and PlayStation 2 as well and unfortunately for those two a memory card is required in order to auto save you’re game progress and I know on Microsoft Xbox you can it’s auto save able I’ve thought about getting one but don’t know if they still work now
I still have 1 black and 1 'clear' case Xboxs plus that next generation one you showed. Also have a PS one, a standard ps 2 and 2 slimline ps 2's. The new PS 5's look cool and will probably look at getting the new VR unit sometime.
Do u know that Xboxes ver 1.4 (Crystal) are prone to fail? the capacitors under the gpu could exhaust, before replacing them my screen was flicker really baaad
@@djm1ch0l4s9 I don't use them, I'm waiting for VR head sets to become more popular. 😁
Salute to xbox purists! My first ever console, purchased as an adult, when finally had my own cash. Was a town hunt store to store for any that sold them. 20 years we together and still collect titles.
i think 160 is not bad with everything u get in it i liked the Vid ouo
I really want to snag up an OG Xbox for my retro collection with my gamecube, so many memories & lots of fun. An underdog console that truly deserves its praise after 20 years.
OG Xbox and Game Cube along side with PS1 and Dreamcast the best consoles ever ,especially now for the collectors!
@@davidm4677 Exactly, now I truly understand why retro consoles & games are a thing to collect. To be able to plug in, go & relive memories, rather then wait for an update Lol But I can say your retro console picks are legendary 😊👌🏽💯
As long as you find one in decent enough shape, I don’t think you can go wrong 👍🏽
Could buy one some two years ago for around 28€ with a small Controller. Best Console buy ever. Also collecting for Xbox is really cheap.
track, but the problem is I don't know how to do tNice tutorials, it only goes to the setuper as the whole track...can you help with tNice tutorials?
I was one of those kids that had the Duke with the original Xbox wow memories
haha that must have been fun!
@@JasonDuaineHahn yes and no I was kid when it came bundle with my Xbox but the downside is my hands were to small to hold it so I stop using it and got the s controller
That gen of gaming had so many games to choose from a lot of em had lengthy hours to enjoy the gameplay, nowadays games are 12 hours to beat with dlc that coulda easily been included
the rock had hair when the OG xbox came out...damn lol
😂😂
I'm thinking about getting an original Xbox but I'm resistant to buy locally because they might not work. Do you have any advice?
yes! The 1.4 revisions seem to fail more.. my 2 xboxes (1crystal 1black) had the screen flickering really bad but now seem ok after capacitors replacement
Xbox blurred the line between Console and PC gaming. I remember how advanced the lighting was on games like Splinter cell. And I remember how Morrowind was available on Xbox. No other console had that power.
I still have the original xbox, but I haven't used it for a long while.
I just got one and was wondering if they are worth anything or just throw it in the trash
I still have my original xbox first day launch & I went out & bought brute force halo 1-2 the old Mech warrior games , mercenaries games ,scarface
SCARFACE ?! we are very few to have that game.. Please help: My brand new disc of Scarface NOT works(!) in the xbox but only on the Xbox360 in retrocompatibility (!) ..any idea ?
@@djm1ch0l4s9 nope sorry I have no clue
Got 2. Dope system.
Remove your Clock capacitors from Xbox revisions before 1.6 iirc.
I opened up and removed my starting to leak clock capacitor from my Halo green Xbox but my brother's Xbox which was a 1.6 or whatever the revision didn't have the leaky clock capacitor
Got a 360 from 2010 playing reach is what i look forward to every day when i wake.
They say it has a lifespan of 10-12 years but as long as you change the therm paste once a year and make sure to clean the fan and keep it off soft surfaces like carpet cooling and cleaning is the key to very long lifespan.
Oh yea keep very young kids away peanut butter jelly hands and drinks of any kind, never leave the disks out hard to come by good ones without skipping scratches.
Looks like you found a keeper good job man.
Got a Original X-Box one from 2014 with Infinite and forza horizon 4 lots of fun but the older games are more fun i think.
I have 2 OG Xbox; First one I had bought an open box on discount back in 2003 and the second one I had inherited for free recently. From the looks of it, it looks going to outlast the hot Potatoe Xbox360 and PS3.
I still have my original Xbox from way back in the day. Thing is built like a tank, and I have it sitting next to my Series S
Then probably you have NOT a 1.4 version cause is prone to fail :(
Don't forget to burn some of your favorite CD's on your OG Xbox so you can listen to tracks anytime you want💯😎
I still have my original xbox halo edition with both halo games and simpsons hit and run game for it 😁
simpsons hit and run is an absolute classic - thanks for reminding me about that one!
Can we get a video of WWF RAW gameplay?
I still have mine...it's so large.. it's like an aircraft carrier!
I used to use the mad catz controller it was was best one my opinion
haha, I had a mad catz controller for N64… I always felt so cool while using it
Ah yes the original Xbox. I grew up with it and experienced some interesting games. I just bought myself a serviced and hardware modded Xbox today. Oh btw. There is a Xbox Live Replacement called Insignia in the works. The Controller S was designed for the asian market in mind at first. Also get the console checked. Microsoft used some cheap electrolyte capacitors that tend to leak. Nice Video!
Yep, I have seen some things about Insignia - need to check that out. I love this console
Needs a 2TB origins update ;)
Check out the Godzilla game on the Xbox is absolutely sick
Will do!
Oh wow I totally forgot about the black and white buttons
Congrats on this video blowing up. Currently you over paid for the console and games. But as a long time collector I can assure you that the market will eventually skyrocket for Xbox. So 5 years from now you can say you got a deal for this OG.
Appreciate it! And great insight on that, definitely interested to see where things are five years from now
What editing software do you use?
I’m using Final Cut Pro. I still have lots to learn since I switched from Adobe Premiere a few months ago (didn’t want to keep paying a subscription)
I don’t know where you grew up but where I was growing up. All the kids on my block wanted a PS2 .
I remember when the xbox first came out and the barrage of bad ass games that came out.. halo ce.. brute force.. roadkill.. and tons others. Download music from cds and some games let you use it as a soundtrack.. damn if it couldn't do so much and nearly infinite storage. What wasn't good about it.
I am looking for an Original Xbox myself for my collection.
My dad Bought a original xbox back in late 2002/early 2003 Roughly 2 years before I was born still have that console but I have another one that I play all my games on its a really fun system
Also am I the only who notices on there 1.6 system that the dashboard moves around it doesn't happen with my 1.1 xbox
I actually have three original Xbox game consoles and the reason why I have three of them is because the very first one I got for Christmas many years ago stopped working on me since it wouldn't read any discs that I would insert in the console, so I ordered two extra OG Xbox systems from Amazon a few years back, one of which I'm actually using more as a dedicated portable game console almost since I have an amazing LCD gaming screen attached for playing games without the need for an actual TV. My other extra OG Xbox that I got from Amazon is hooked up to my main TV as a replacement for my first one that stopped working for me. I also have an Xbox 360 which is backwards compatible with most of my original Xbox games, but there are a few OG Xbox games though that I have that won't work on Xbox 360 since I still need the original Xbox to play them on. I only have just the original Xbox and Xbox 360 game consoles though since I don't own an Xbox One and I also don't have Xbox Series X/S either.
..me too:) I dont feel the need to have newer systems.. I still got hundreds xbox360 games to play
@@djm1ch0l4s9 That's cool then. I actually like both new and old game systems myself personally and I have a lot of different games to play for my Xbox 360 as well. 🙂
@@pepsidude8919 Everything after 360 and PS3 sucks I did own them all!Looking for OG Xbox as back up now.
@@davidm4677 I see then, but at least you're trying to look for a backup OG Xbox for now and hopefully maybe you'll get one soon sometime too. I still like the PS3 and Xbox 360 systems myself since they're not too bad for me though and I have a lot of great games for them as well.
Enjoy
Will you be making more Xbox content?
I will at some point! And thinking of doing something on the Xbox 360 in the future. Anything you’d like to see?
please take note did you open it up there’s a capacitor that can leak I don’t remember what it’s called but I had an original Xbox and it the capacitor was leaking
Clock capacitor
@@BRIANOCONNOR2003 ik but I mean the type of capacitor like the model
@@McGee_Two v1.6 doesn't have a clock capacitor
But it's located at a different area
I actually have the first model original Xbox in perfect condition
awesome 🙌🏼 hold on to it!
I bought one too
welcome to the club 💪🏼
I think For thps on xbox the thumbstick sensitivity is different from ps2. I prefer it on the xbox because that's what I'm used to
So that's a 2002 model so that either the 1.0 or 1.1 motherboard, I would 100% get all those capacitors replaced and not just the clock cap.
yep! going to check on that asap
I got 2003 model any problems with capacitors in those?I got to important things on it can't afford to lose.
@@davidm4677 Yes, all original Xbox models suffer from leaking capacitors. If you've not replaced the caps, I suggest doing it asap.
Very well made video.
Also I’m shocked bill gates and the rock hasn’t became a meme
for anyone wanting one ive purchased over 5 from goodwill to give to friends and family. I see one almost everytime i go for about $20. Just so yall know
I need to go to whichever Goodwill you're going to then, haha
Silent hill 2 and 4, fable, Morrowind, godfather my favorite Xbox games
i remember being 10 years old around 2009, and getting my first original xbox, i know the 360 was around but my dad was strict on games cause of how bloody a lot of the 360 games that i watched were, so he started me off with the original xbox, and when i got my own, i played it nonstop, it was all the rage for me growing up after watching dad play his original xbox for ever since 2004 i think, and watching him play games such as Darkwatch curse of the west, fable the lost chapters, crash twinsanity, first to fight, etc,
Great game DARKWATCH ! But for me the best graphics ever were on HalfLife2, JustCause,
Is this is your first time owing an original Xbox you might want to check what version you have because the clock capacitor needs to be changed from versions 1.1 to 1.5, if it has a gold capacitor do not touch it that will mess up your Xbox immediately it will not turn on anymore.
thanks, will look into it 👌🏽
I held the duke because a friend had the Duke Xbox and while big isn't as uncomfortable as it looks but still not ideal. Like the N64 controller it looks awful but not bad on the hand, the Dreamcast is the one that looks bad and holds as bad.
My favorite game was halo and project Gotham 2…. I had so many hours in both those games.
Project Gotham was such a great franchise - I still have my original PGR3 for Xbox 360
@@JasonDuaineHahn I have 2 and 3, recently played 2 but don’t have any saved game data so had to start from scratch
Mech assault 1 was awesome
I remember seeing that game!
get it back online with insignia coming up soon!
