That’s not the proper translucent controller for the system. The proper has halo in the center jewel of the controller not Xbox. Just thought I would point that out. Cheers.
i used to bring that multiplayer map pack to halo partys and people would be blown away because they didnt even know it existed. you had to buy the MAP PACKS for 4.00 each back then , so the people that didnt have xbox live used that disc to get that dlc.
or dont? its actually not that dangerous, if it leaks you can clean the motherboard and even if it breaks (it cant pop) you can replace it somewhat easily
@@Nexty_34There's been multiple cases where that capcitor has ruined the motherboard because the acid within it eats away at the layers of the pcb if left untreated.. So uh, yeah, if you don't want to deal with finding a replacement xbox or deal with the cleanup it's good practice to just go ahead and do it. Just common sense really.

FYI, that is not the halo controller that comes with the halo Xbox as I had an halo xbox back in the day when they came out. I sold mines right before the 360 came out to help pay for the 360. The halo controller actually says halo on it. That one is a normal clear green controller.
Very nice Xbox I have the Same one, it’s my favorite. I’m surprised your Xbox didn’t come with the Original Halo Controller. But the green one you got is the same either way.
Great video! I'm a 41 year old gamer and going strong. I remember when they started releasing Extra Content on Xbox live and they gave you the option to buy a hard disc or to download it. I have 22 game console's and I always have my Original Xbox set up along with all the newer ones. Thanks for the video, good job. P.S. I wish my OG Xbox disc tray opened up like that...lol
not sure if you are aware but the first gen Xbox was notorious for having bad caps for the clock capacitor, so if you have to set the date and time every time you unplug the console, that means that cap is blown. It would be wise to disassemble the console and de-solder that cap before it's contents fully leak onto the board and damage it.
You could download the Halo 2 DLC via Xbox Live, there was even a map pack that could only be downloaded. They printed discs because A. Some people's connections in the early 2000's would've made downloading take forever and B. Purchasing downloaded content was a very foreign concept at the time (and I'm sure it didn't hurt that selling the disc allowed them to get money from people who don't have access to Xbox Live, aswell)
You might want to crack that console open, odds are that console has the faulty clock capacitor that will destroy your console. My Xbox did have that cap leak, so I took it out. It's not critical for the console to work, so I would recommend removing it if it hasn't already been taken out
Was going to say the same thing. Would be interesting to see if that newer cap has leaked just like in the older consoles from 2001-2002 (if it's a fault in some overall design or just crappy cap in the original console version).
OG XBOX PSA: there is a clock capacitor on the motherboard that is notorious for leaking and the acid from the capacitor corrodes the motherboard which eventually will ruin the console if not taken care of. there are many videos on how to safely remove this from the board, and i would highly recommend you watch those and do it yourself or take it to a professional console repair center (NOT gamestop) so your console doesnt get ruined.
What did you use as the video adapter to get it to display on that monitor and to what resolution. I have mine set with a component to HDMI to a 55' 4k samsung and it looks so blurry.
The Halo Xbox is also a CD player or movies, One can purchase a remote control , I have my Special edition Xbox halo with games, remote and HDMI connector to replace the three cable audio/ video
I bought this halo edition for 30 bucks. It didn’t read discs when I tested it but I recently refurbished it and adjusted the potentiometer and it works now. I love it.
@@timelymirror7826 Right. When people usually have the original Xbox and set it up on a flat screen, then they have to set the video to widescreen (16:9). Also, when they’re on the dashboard, it outputs 480i which most older TVs are not capable of outputting. In order to fix this, stay on the dashboard, go on the controller and press the trigger buttons and the analog sticks at the same time. The screen will black out for 2 seconds. That’s what’s supposed to happen. You’ll get 480p which is a resolution most TVs will handle.
Just to let you know, when I was 6 I had one of these console but it only lasted 7 years because my parents forgot to remove the “clock capacitor” so if you have the time you might want to remove that because it will leak on the motherboard and if not treated the acid will damage and melt the layers of the motherboard so please take it out. 😇
And the only reason people keep getting rid of this model of original Xbox is because you can’t soft mod this model and worse you can’t install a mod chip on this model so a lot of people basically gut these cases And place older Xbox original hardware in them and then strap mod chips to them
I bought a crystal edition for £70 and bought all their collection of games for another £30, so I got it with an amazing game selection for £100, absolutely gorgeous
I remember having to use that multiplayer map pack disc for H2 when I still couldn't convince my mom to buy me Xbox live! Had to use Xb connect just to play with other people via system link. Good times
OMG miss my Green Halo Xbox, Had a group of 10 little houses on the property I lived on and had a net work router in the middle of ALL the houses with wires going to each house and we had Halo wars all the time. Fun Times. Thinking about getting another one just to have again..
I bought 1 of these broken for $40, I really wanted it more for the game room as a centerpiece than play it since it looks so great. Disc drive repairs are about $80, so maybe I'll do a full repair and cleanup eventually but seeing it in your tv stand is a sight
80??? Just replace the belt and laser for like $10-$15 unless the dvd drive is in pieces then yea I can somewhat understand $80 since they dvd drives are pretty expensive for the original Xbox.
Perhaps invest in a tripod when playing for a bit. Makes the video less shaky. Or if you can, multiple camera setup with multiple angles you can switch to. But the latter is a costly thing, so a tripod would be a minimum
Nice score. I modded and recapped a few (even managed to score a 1ghz CPU Trusty modded one) then used custom bios and a special setup 3tb drive from a RUclipsr named Masnart. His drives are preconfigured to work with custom bios’s and have coinops ninja massive and almost every retro console and handheld up to the GBA. Plus it has the majority of the OG Xbox library. I also bought and a Xarcade tank stick with trackball to play all the great arcade games from the 80s on up to the early 2000s. Trackball is a decent replacement option for the lightgun games. I did hold onto on old 36” CRT for lightgun games but the emulated arcade gun games won’t work with the Xbox lightguns sadly. Lastly I have one stock Xbox setup to play Steel Battalion with the huge controller for my kids (the SB controller doesn’t play nice with custom bios). I use an Mclassic paired with an HDMI converter I got recommended from retroRGB and it looks great on modern TVs. There’s also a nice adapter that hobbyists made to let you use 360 controllers and wired Xbox 1 controllers with an option to use a bios that lets the 360 chatpad work as a SB controller though I had to specify that option as it removes Xbox 1 controller functionality if you go that route.
Imagine not knowing that eject actually ejects... without powering it off! it's literally designed to do that otherwise it would just not need to be there edit, he found out later, apologies
Mine looked the exact same but without Halo branding. I’d gotten Crimson Skies and Project Gotham Racing first, eventually Halo & the sequel were my fav games tho with the special edition metal case for 2
I want that one. That translucent green for some reason looks better to me than the 500 million ps4 console. Looks perfect. Im definitely buying one since my 2004 xbox stopped working. Maybe ill put it one ebay and you can buy it for $10 off me😅
I really wish I still had this console of every thing from my childhood that I don't have anymore (Yu-Gi-Oh cards Pokemon cards etc) , this Xbox is the one I regret getting rid of the most.
I had many of these stupidly sold them back in day only 1 bad thing is 2 watch dvds you must use remote and the xbox remote and adapter without it it will not play dvds no idea why you can't use the xbox controller 2 watch dvds but it has jukebox so download your cds on 2 your system and it stores them while you play games you cldnt do that on Ps2 I no its old tech but was cool at the time

Fun fact, that Halo 2 map pack disc was one of the first instances of DLC, which is why it was sold as a disc and not exclusively online.
Well yes and no.

Take out the clock capacitor, it will start leaking in the board
You lucky the disk tray works, most trays in original xbox and xbox 360 are notorious for not working due to eject mechanism rubber belt wearing out.
the manufacture date on the console would give you either a version 1.4 or version 1.5 motherboard. which can still get a mod chip pretty easily
Can’t believe I was only 3 months old when that Xbox was manufactured

The halo version is a v1.6. So it shouldn't have a clock capacitor in it, but other caps could be checked.

original xbox hard reset is on controller start + select + L + R at the same time. and the black and white buttons are replacing the L1 and R1 buttons
I think the original xbox design is the best looking design out of all the xboxes. Even more so with the halo edition version.
2:19 I have a computer case that looks similar to that
I still have the original Xbox sitting in my closet and it's still looks brand new.

you should open the xbox up and put a led inside of it

The black & white were the left bumper & right bumper buttons before those existed on the 360 & now.
