I just got an Original Xbox yesterday, and I love it! it has a fantastic hardrive. Most of them OG Xbox consoles have 8-10 gigabyte hard drive. Technically speaking 50,000 blocks. You can put a ton of OG Xbox games on that this I think

Unlike the PS2 in most cases you need special software for a harddrive to work in a PlayStation 2 console and memory cards are 8mb on all PlayStation 2 compatible memory cards.

I bought an original Xbox because I'm having emulation issues on my Xbox360. I have a lagging controller that lagged (unplayable) when I last play Halo 1 & Halo 2 on the Xbox360. and my controller doesn't lag on all the rest of my OG xbox games. Halo Master Cheif collection it's even a problem on the Xbox One consoles according to the internet, on all wired controllers for the Xbox One's and windows PC's are lagging to.

I don't have a lot of OG Xbox games so I am hoping I'll never need to buy another OG Xbox for a while

It's always good to keep an OG around, although I have to commend Microsoft for their continued efforts towards backwards compatibility. I didn't realize before I had acquired my XB1 that it supports backwards compatibility with a good chuck of 360 games, and even some OG games as well. Strangely enough, not Halo or Halo 2. I suppose because the Masterchief Collection is a thing. From what I've heard, they finally patched the game in December and fixed a lot of the bugs and lagging, and it also includes ODST and Reach now. It may now be worth actually picking up.

Well original xbox consoles might break down pretty fast at some point. Microsoft made an error with an original clock capicatator that breaks down and literally eats the boards when not removed making the console unusable as a result. for a ton of original xbox consoles those capicatotors are already damaging the boards so it's a ticking time bomb when most original xbox consoles will die

To make things worse. Microsoft fixed this issue but only with 1 maybe 2 of their models. Only the latest model having that guaranteed improved capictator the 1.6 variant usually 2004 + era. meaning versions 1.0 to 1.5 are all with those time bomb capicatators. Some 1.5 models have the improved capicatator aswell but rarely.

kinda ironic actually. how many xbox 360 consoles where trash as well with that red ring of dead. havent heard to much bad stuff about sony. i wouldnt be suprisied if the xbox one also had some problems

Sony had plenty of problems with the YLOD on the PS3. Only the Original Xbox 360's had the red ring of death. Same with Sony and the YLOD. both a bunch of had problems with their early models, both corrected them. All consoles have some problems, and most will die someday.

most especially non disc based consoles are fairly easy to fix to keep em running for a long time afterwards so it's not that big of a problem spare parts or non original replacements exists after all. in the case of the Xbox OG though you need to remove that capicitator or it's unfixable since the board will be beyond repair. That being said though while sony had it's problems I've had way more people complain about xbox consoles than with sony.
