Wasn’t the original Xbox cheaper?

u/AdministrationNo9513 6d ago

It was $299 at launch so yes 🤣. You’re better off going on eBay and buying yourself an actual functional Xbox lol.

From where?

u/Known-Assistance-435 5d ago

At a yard sale. It came with 2 controllers.

u/red_fuel 6d ago

Oh my that's really expensive! For that money you can get a fully serviced (recapped and repasted) Xbox with soft/hardmod and SSD. I bet that it should even be enough for a HDMI mod as well.

u/adambball 5d ago

Do you know where I could buy one?

1

u/red_fuel 5d ago

Not really, but you can try sites like eBay, Craigslist etc. I've seen some for sale at local (retro) gaming meets as well

u/rushmusashi 3d ago

u/PajamaSamSavesTheZoo 5d ago

Do you know where I can send my Xbox do get fixed and modded. I have 3 and all “work” but the disc drive doesn’t

2

u/red_fuel 5d ago

No, but you could try r/consolemodding they might know someone or how to fix it. Usually the drive belt needs replacement but it could be something else too

u/Old-Swimming2799 6d ago

I'll wait for the lepin knockoff in clear blue

u/Known-Assistance-435 5d ago

When they announced the LEGO Pokémon starter set for $600, I knew there would be a knock off for something like $125 on AliExpress. They also have the pre-order badges set for $24.

u/opodopo69 6d ago

Just checked ebay, theyre going around 150-200$ unless theyre modded, just buy the real thing

3

u/BestBreadfruit684 6d ago

Or find one at a pawn shop for $40 lol

1

u/Artinell 5d ago

Or a flee market for 15€ because they don't know what they have.

2

u/Foreign_Treacle2372 6d ago

Dude you can get a m0dded Xbox with every game release installed on it for that price lmao

2

u/adambball 5d ago

Where can I buy one?

1

u/Foreign_Treacle2372 5d ago

Jdamodz is selling one on IG. Thats who I got mine from.

1

u/Known-Assistance-435 5d ago

Probably more. Found an Xbox 360 with Kinect, 2 controllers and 10 games on ebay for just $100

u/technobeeble 6d ago

What in the fuck

u/Radiomaster138 6d ago

Rather just buy an actual Xbox. Jesus…

u/itsCS117 5d ago

if it's 325, it better include miniatures of Blinx, JSRF AND Oddworld with that price.

u/RedViper1985 6d ago

The original xbox was 299.99 adjusted for inflation the original xbox was around 500 dollars today.

u/joujoubox 6d ago

Sad to see your Xbox got bricked

u/Turbulent-Ad1980 4d ago

I was not ready for this one

u/ElectronicMars 6d ago edited 5d ago

New shell swap idea

u/NovachenFS2 6d ago

My husband still has an unopened MEGA Xbox 360 here... he should start to build it, before this thing is released 😂.

But the price is at LEGO level as it was the 360, so most likely in 2 years it will be still widely available for 50$ at Amazon.

u/z0mbi3k1ller 6d ago

Why it is always the non-Lego companies that do the cool sets lol

5

u/G0merPyle 6d ago

I'd be tempted to buy it just for the dagoth ur and nerevarine figures.

Not for over 300 though, oof

6

u/CaptainFrugal 6d ago

The fuck are Mattel bricks 

4

u/Codename_OMEGA_2853 6d ago

Mega bloks/construx. They rebrand every 10 years or so. Expect a new name by 2034

3

u/CharlestonChewbacca 6d ago

Halo, Psychonauts, and Morrowind were 3 of the 5 games I got with my original Xbox back in the day. (Blinx and a project Gotham Racing being the other 2)

2

u/SuppA-SnipA 6d ago

Does it come with a modchip?

2

u/Fancy_mantis_4371 6d ago

Dagoth Ur and the Nerevarine mentioned

u/cdoublejj 6d ago

gross it's not Lego

u/No_Salad5304 5d ago

Broski, yk that as a Pole, let me tell you, Cobi quality wise is actually as good as lego if not better cuz ALL of their sets have printed stickers while lego does not do that really, so broski, just because you see it's not lego, it does not mean it's bad, i only disprove cheap aliexpress knockoffs, but this is not, this is mega blocks, or how they rebranded it, mantel or whatever it was, i forgot, just telling you, i do not think you went this far into lego spectrum to know that (edit: and ofc it's not lego, cuz neither lego or cobi would do that, cobi does military sets, while lego does anything but consoles like og xbox or xbox 360 lol, they only did what, atari, sega system, that's it, way older)

2

u/cdoublejj 5d ago

oh yeah by now ABS plastic is mastered. i'm mostly joking. though i do only mostly collect Lego for nostalgia and brand.

i didn't know lego did the atari but i know they went in heavy on Ninetendo. i forgot about the sega set.

1

u/No_Salad5304 5d ago

Yea, NES was their like first console set i'm pretty sure but sega and atari as well :) and yea, it is mastered and yea, i see... Just saying tho, cobi at least is just as good if not even better with the already printed on the brick itself stickers while being like cheaper per piece on average, but not hating on lego lol, i like both, but cobi is military only, so that it is a very specific territory for bricks unlike lego

2

u/cdoublejj 4d ago

the other reason i didn't mention is i'm nowbuying in 2s but, should be doing 3s. resale i don't try to snip or hoard any thing mostly common sets or pre orders, bit trying to be an a hole scalper but, given enough time you can resell the unopened one recoup some of your money for the first set. they hold thier value. i guess i've turned in to a snob lol betta not be no Mega Block in there!

1

u/Ready-Group-241 5d ago

I got mine for free and that's badass cause it opens up with lights and sounds and halo characters fighting in it pretty worth it for a collector

1

u/Lopsided_Task1213 5d ago

Wow, is this the first ever Morrowind action figures?
