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 --- End quote --- 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. --- End quote --- 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 --- End quote --- My original Xbox has a loud fan but it survived a long game session. I am hoping that this one will last, the clock is not working at all and so far it appears that the blocks don't count when the data is being used. this console looks well cared for and so far nothing I purchased from Disc Replay is junk. Disc replay actually fully test all consoles before selling them again, I seen them do it with another person who brought in a broken PlayStation 2, they refused to pay them anything for bringing in their broken PlayStation 2 I overheard their conversation and they didn't take it, and they were testing it just behind their counter. it might be a modded console because it came with an electric eye inside the 4th controller slot, I don't know what that does |

All consoles will break, none were designed flawlessly and yes that includes Sony. I think Biking has mentioned that he's been through a ton of PS2 consoles that died. My PS1's laser went bad around 2002. Lots of people who had the original revision of PS1 had to turn their console on it's side to get it play games. PS3 had YLOD which was not uncommon, and my brother has two of the 60 GB models that died on him, both found to have charred looking transistors and whatnot on their board. Just look on eBay, there's no shortage of dead consoles regardless of which one. People complain of "moving parts", but there's actually not that many moving parts you need to worry about. A disc drive motor is probably not gonna die, a cooling fan probably won't either and then again it's just a fan. That's an easy fix. What kills a modern console dead is heat, which is nearly unavoidable inside of these consoles. Xbox 360 dies primarily from the GPU coming apart from the board, I believe. That's due to heat damage. |

It's pretty easy to remove indeed but if you don't remove it on other consoles it might not damage it like in the case of the og xbox that's the key difference here. There are cases with other consoles obviously but not as bad as with the og xbox. There are even some rare cases that the console might explode even when your not using it when you have a bad clock capicitator and your to lazy to remove it. obviously dead consoles for all systems will be on ebay. Usage is obviously the main factor that will kill any console at some point. a popular console line like sony will have plenty of dead consoles at some point that's only natural with every console selling over 100 million units. |
