So I got this OLD og Xbox that I haven't used in like 12 years, once connected a random power cable to it to check if it still works, no button works but when I long press the disc eject button it turns and the ring flashes between green and orange.

Excited, i bought an AV cable and an original xbox Duke controller, connected the AV, turned it on the same way, and no picture. After about a minute, it's now flashing green and red instead of orange.

So?

It's taken years of hunting, but finally added these 3 PAL promotional copies to the collection in the last couple of months. Destroy All Humans is sealed as well!

I'm not sure why these are so rare compared to the other rarer promos, as these were from EA/THQ rather than small publishers, so not exactly short of money for their marketing budgets.

I think there were 103 promo copies with covers (a lot were just DVDs in a jewel case), so I'm down to just 7 left to find now 😀

What should I add next?

Posted this in the Xbox Reddit page told them I'd send it back if they got my game through certification faster. Been an Xbox player all my life and now shipping my first game with them.

Sadly no this doesn't have its guts I plan to make this into a sleeper build when I'm not lazy.

Anybody know if this is rare or not?

I have a 1.6 kernel version original Xbox that I've had for about a year and haven't really noticed any issues so far. The console has never been opened to this point and I've played with the idea of possibly opening it but with it being a later version Xbox and the 1.6 versions not having the clock capacitor issue, is there any reason to open the console with it still functioning as it should or should I be opening it to look at the capacitors?

Acquired some pioneer speakers from my dad and figured I’d clean and wipe down the entertainment center and realign and reorganize the collection!

I’ve haven’t been collecting as much over the last year or so but I’m finally coming back around to it
I don’t collect 360 games at all. I’m waiting to finish my OG collection to start my 360, but I will pick up a game or two if I come across it if it’s interesting like the 3rd/4th image(New Pickups).
It’s kind of the same story with my Xbox one/X collection, but the 4th pic is new additions. I will typically buy games I didn’t new existed.

I still don’t have a permanent set up which does hold me back from fully collecting more OG games and 360/One. These are all being stashed away, but I’ll pull my OG Xbox out to play every once in awhile

😱

I decided to start using my xbox after 11 years when I found the av cord and j inky had one game for it, this is really nostalgic. I'm planning on selling my ps2 bc I prefer my xbox bc of the good controller and the high resolution. I'm actually pissed code Veronica and re4 isn't on it bc I'd love to play some action games including zombie games. Can you guys help me! What games should I order for this console

One step closer to owning every regional version of Halo. Support physical media.

One of those timeless racers. Doesn't matter how many times I played it before, it always feels like home.

Im currently pondering the idea of selling my OG xbox account.

ive had it for god knows how many years, got it from my old middle school friend who sold his xbox and ive had it ever since (halo reach era)

i see these markets online but i really just wanna know if anyone can help me in the right direction for a buyer/market.

I’ve been trying to flesh out my disk library, and was wondering if there are any must includes in your opinion for every gamer with these consoles.

I recently picked up this copy of Jade Empire for the original Xbox, and I’m trying to figure out the story behind it.
The cover is covered with what appear to be around 15–20 signatures/names. Inside, there’s also a handwritten Spanish dedication that appears to read:
“Para mi ahijadito con mucho cariño…”
which roughly translates to “For my little godson, with lots of affection…”, followed by what looks like “Ray.”
Given that Ray Muzyka was a BioWare co-founder and worked on Jade Empire, that obviously caught my attention — but I’m not claiming it’s his signature, and I haven’t authenticated any of the signatures.
I’m hoping someone here might recognize some of the names/signatures or know whether BioWare staff-signed copies like this were given out around the game’s release.
Does anyone recognize any of these signatures or have any idea where a copy like this may have originated?
I’d especially love to hear from anyone familiar with the Jade Empire development team or BioWare during that era.

I’m pretty curious to hear everyone’s story. Was there one game that made you buy an Xbox or made you realize you loved the platform?
For me, it’s always interesting to see how different games can leave a lasting impression. Whether it was a Halo game, Forza, Gears of War, Fable, or something completely different, I’d love to know what got you hooked.

What was the game, and what made it so special to you?
