    Fun Fact: The enormous Xbox symbol on the controller had a purpose. When Microsoft were in talks with Microsoft about sega games on the Xbox, they initially thought it could be an idea to incorporate a controller display like the Dreamcast. It never happened and the initial designs were just replaced with this giant logo. That is also the reason for two expansion ports on the controller.

      I always felt in recent years that i was multi- console. I just did not realize it until later on. I am shooting myself in the foot for selling the gameboy player for the gamecube.
      But i aquired a sega dreamcast and an original playstation recently, and have hopes of purchasing some of the older ones in the future. Even tho PS2 is backwards compatible with all PS1 games, i still want to own both, but i do not own a PS2 yet.
      During this era i had a N64 and a Gamecube. Idk i always liked nintendo games. Zelda, mario. 1080 snowboarding. Wave race. Just awesome stuffs from nintendo, but the classics dude from like super nintendo and sega genesis are worth it also. Atari also had some good shit when they were console making.

      Wii has a more powerful cpu, the xbox has greater fillrates/texture mapping/polygon generation, the Wii has more advanced rendering techniques.
      Theyre much on par with each being a little better depending on what graphics are being thrown around.
      Wii is not a GC with a different controller. It's more akin to the same machine with faster revisions of the cpu and gpu. And that was the entire point. To use the same micro arches (both cpu and gpu) so as to ensure compatibility, but also be a bit more powerful.

      I don't think I entirely agree with that. I agree with beezie, the PowerPC Cpu was definitely more capable, compute processing power yields many advantages.
      Mifos, let's not get carried away. Nintendo has only stopped caring about power ever since the dramatically more powerful Gamecube was stupidly trampled by the technically inferior and hard to program for Ps2. At that point, it was like why bother, if ppl don't care about good hardware...
      And the Snes was anemic when it came to processing power which it definitely needed, so many games suffer from slowdown, even the Genesis which was 2 years older was a faster machine. And the Switch is a handheld, and a pretty capable one at that so I don't think your point goes across there.

    (Amped 3 was made by someone else, and was more arcade, but was still fun in it's own right. Amped 1 was the OG, but Amped 2 is the best one of the series.)

    What I loved about the old Xbox is that it had PC power connectors inside and IDE cords to the DVD. So I just bought a 40gb PC HDD and changed the DVD drive later with a PC DVD-R one when it failed. Still works to this day. And PC mods like light wires etc and colored fans was easy to change to. I have the crystal Xbox and it has enough power to use those. So mine lights up to.

    I remember getting my own Xbox controller for my 5th birthday I’m pretty sure it was the transparent duke or some sort of off brand see through one even tho I didn’t have an Xbox yet cuz my brother got one cuz we lived right next to my grandparents like you could literally run over there I’m like 30 seconds and we’d go over there every day and I’d play Xbox all the time me and my brother would play halo 2 and play the second mission over and over again cuz it was the only mission I was good at or didn’t scare me. Halo 2 was the first game I played there’s videos of me when I was 2 playing it with my dad and I still have my grandpas original special edition copy he passed away and it’s the only thing I personally have of his. The Xbox is such a nostalgic console for me

    Growing up we had a huge finished basement and my dad turned it into a "movie theatre" with a projector that would project a huge display onto a wall (like 12 feet wide and 9 feet tall) and a state of the art surround sound system for 2006. We also had a giant L-shaped couch and 2 recliners down there, and like 6 bean bags. We could hook up our consoles to the projector (Xbox, Xbox 360, PS2 etc), so our house was the HUB. Man, I would have like 6-8 friends over and we would play Halo 2 at 4x-split screen slayer in brawling tournements against each other for hours in the theatre basement. A theatre and surround sound made me and my brothers quite popular haha.

      Mark you may have to trawl the Web for more info. I did the softmod in 2009 & I do believe a lot has changed from a tech perspective.
      The softmod is your best bet although you require a PC that has IDE ATA HDD interface & a CD/DVD-ROM drive that can read the Linux ISO burnt on a blank CD.
      Then you require about 2 hours of time & a few commands to be inputted. That's it.
      Note - Some CD/DVD drives cannot read the burnt CD.

    • @aaronmathias6739
      @aaronmathias6739 7 лет назад

      I can imagine why you said that & you are right. But there is this unquantifiable & sublimely amazing feeling that you have truly unlocked the potential of your Xbox. There is a potent slice of nostalgia when I switch it on and it comes on and I... Am....believe it or not... Actually using it to read my comics in the CBR & CBZ format. & The pan and scan using the controller is flawless. Apart from that Halo 1 & 2, Ninja Gaiden, Conker, Dream fall, Syberia series & so many more awesome games makes you realise that this was the pinnacle of console evolution for its generation. Way ahead of its time in terms of quality and concept.
