Unboxing My XBox Classic - Did I Pay Too Much?

I recently decided to buy a Xbox Classic. It finally arrived, so let's take a look at it! I power it up, play some games and take a look inside to determine how badly the console was ruined due to the capacitor plague.

Here in Brazil we really like the Xbox Classic, congratulations on your purchase!

[@homeforobsoletetechnology]

Relatable. Still awesome to use it with a lot of phantastic games. Thanks a lot :)

[@olympian3]

I hard modded my childhood xbox from 2002, best decision ever

[@homeforobsoletetechnology]

Relatable. The XBox Classic is an awesome console and definitely earns this.

Good purchase. Hello from canada

[@homeforobsoletetechnology]

Thank you! Hi from Germany :)

[@Gnik4144]

It’s definitely worth the money seeing how many games are in it.

[@homeforobsoletetechnology]

I somehow didn't think about that. You're right, although Most of them are ROMs, it still saves me a lot of time.

[@Gnik4144]

@@homeforobsoletetechnology what do you mean by rom?? lol

[@homeforobsoletetechnology]

Haha, I wrote stupid stuff again xD. I meant (illegal) downloaded games from the www. Technically I bought a "ticket to jail", because even possessing those free downloaded games could get me into trouble.

I have a couple OG Xbox that the cd no longer works so this would be a fun project to learn and play around with. For $100 it is a good bargain saving you so much time and also the 2TB HDD.

[@homeforobsoletetechnology]

Exactly. Unfortunately those drives become weaker and weaker and repairing those is nearly impossible. It's just awesome having all "digital backups" on the HDD.

[@songsan807]

@@homeforobsoletetechnology So true. I believe for the OG xbox you can swap the drive from another OG system. For the 360 the drive is paired with the motherboard so you would need some program to update another drive.

[@homeforobsoletetechnology]

@@songsan807 This is even worse. I can't imagine what the Microsoft guys thought while making the drives not swappable.

I've been trying to decide about buying one also. I've always wanted one since way back, but never did buy a good used one as I was just buying old PS and I got a GameCube real cheap new many years ago, but now im looking at finally buying an Xbox classic. There's loads of them available and actually cheaper than when I was going to buy one 15 yrs ago. Lol
Although im now looking into emulation devices that have thousands of multiple console platforms games so I'm if I want to just invest into that instead of just a xbox.

[@homeforobsoletetechnology]

If I were your, I'd definitely buy one. Those are still quite cheap, but I'm sure the prices will explode eventually. And you can just watch a video showing every single game and write down every game that interests you. I think you know what you can do then :D.
Still the GameCube is an awesome console. I still have mine and use it ever so often.
