| Why do many retro gamers hate on the Xbox? |

like most have said, the xbox original has a small library of exclusives. But I recommend having a Xbox360 slim rather then an xbox original because it is mostly backwards compatible. And, you can get a huge 500 gig hard drive for it. But i rarely use my xbox 360 and am mostly on my PS3 super slim because it is better overall in my opinion. As far as a PS2 goes yea, way better system of the 6th generation if you can get memory cards for $5.00 or less that is. it is harder to change an xbox original hardrive to something bigger and once you use that all up you need to start to delete some of your game progress files. where in the PS2 just buy another memory card and store them in something. If you like original Xbox I recommend the Xbox 360 slim. and get one in decent shape. it should last a short while, at least ::) and buy a 500 gig hardrive but remember it has to be an exclusive xbox 360 only harddirve not any other kind. you can buy them off walmart.com for under $50.00 as off 2-5-2017 installing a 360 slim hardrive https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSBsvEzc7Tk although you need batteries for the controllers and that can be a pain :( |

There is hate for the original Xbox? The original Xbox for me was my first console when I was a kid, and I still love it. Wish I could currently use mine (I do have an Xbox 360, so some games can still be played), but I have to reflow the Foxlink PSU as it now makes the crackling noise and is thus now a fire hazard. That's what the power cable recall was about over a decade ago, though the newer cable doesn't solve the issue and I no longer have that one. Anyway, to bring up some other exclusives nobody brought up that I find to be good... -Blinx: The Time Sweeper -Blinx 2: Masters of Time & Space -Dead or Alive Ultimate -Fuzion Frenzy -Midtown Madness 3 -Project Gotham Racing -Project Gotham Racing 2 -RalliSport Challenge Then of course, again how it usually would offer the best experience on the multiplats. Get one of the two official component cables that also allows you to use optical audio (because Microsoft stupidly never put an optical audio port directly on the console-never happened until Xbox 360 S (E doesn't have it) and Xbox One), and man, the experience you can get with that thing. |

I don't hate the Xbox but to me the controller is the most important part of a system so consoles like the N64 Wii and Xbox original games that are not backwards compatible on the 360 don't get much play time. |

You can just simply plug the play and charge kit cable into the controller with no batteries (make sure the AA pack is in the controller), and voila, it's now a wired controller. I've done it before, it works well. People give Microsoft crap for requiring AA batteries, but it's better long-term, though it would be nice if they included the play and charge kit right out of the box. AA batteries aren't proprietary and can easily be replaced. Proprietary batteries are more of a pain to replace when they inevitably die/have little life left. I have to do this on my first two Game Boy Advance SPs, I get only 1 hour of battery life out of them now and have to take a chance on third-party batteries. Also see: The pain PSP owners have had for years as the only good battery (the Sony one) is long discontinued-though the PSP can still be used with the AC adapter and no battery thankfully. |
