#Xbox #MicrosoftXbox #OGXbox #BuyingGuide #CZcamsGaming #GamingOffTheGrid - Hry
An underrated thing you could do with the OG Xbox is rip your music CD's onto the hard drive and play your music in the background of a lot of games.
WWE RAW 2 on the XBox was the 1st console wrestling game I can think of where you could RIP your own entrance themes, and it was a game changer.
@@Tom_Van_Zandt yup. I remember creating Sting and Arn Anderson and using their actual themes. Pretty awesome. Too bad, like they mentioned, the gameplay was pretty bad for those games. I would add my own music to the NHL Hitz game too. Awesome.
But could you play DVDs on it?
@@AJ72281 if you have the DVD remote and receiver it does.
We never have taken advantage of that. I remember hearing about it back in the day but never had one growing up. Very cool. Cheers!
I got the Xbox my senior year of high school and I never looked back. The thing that blew me away at the time was the hard drive and not needing a memory card. It was unbelievable. By the spring I had bought Rainbow Six 3 and gotten XBL. By the fall I had nearly flunked out of college because I was playing live from sunset to sunrise. Love this console. Still have it, still play it.
Being able to save on the hard drive was such a great feature at the time. We were both more into the PS2 back in the day but have really enjoyed getting into the XBOX in recent times. Thanks for watching. Cheers!
used to have a special suitcase that was big enough to hold my original Xbox and my original PS2 too, and lug this around to friends houses at the same time in my senior year of high school, And it was so awesome to be able to have 16 player lan-battles in halo on the Xbox
I can’t believe it’s that old. I remember getting it for Xmas 2001! And it made me feel like a boss playing “grown up games”
It's crazy for sure. 20+ years ago 6th gen started. We're getting old fast lol. Cheers!
Mate, same. I only owned PlayStation consoles and somebody owning an Xbox in Russia made him seem like a serious business guy to me
Alright you convinced me - I'm going to passively collect Xbox in 2021 - Its on!
LOL! Lots of cheap deals out there for it right now. We've really been enjoying collecting for it over the last few years. Best of luck with your collection. Thanks for watching. Cheers!
@@GamingOffTheGrid heck yeah
Don’t forget those component cables!
For all those who don't know Xbox is still being played online thanks to xlink Kai, there's also a great community that has regular game night every weekend. Check them out on CZcams, Xbox Kai fam, you can also check out their Discord, there link will be in their CZcams channel.
There are some criminally underrated games such as Brute Force and Freedom Fighters. Check them out as well.
Loved the fact that it was made during the pure and simple period of the 21st century. Just pop in the disc, you're in the game instantly without installing, you sign in to Xbox Live in the game, make friends along the way as you're matchmaking in Live enabled games, and can download DLC. Can't forget the masking option and open game chat too while very few went into a private party chat!
Man, there are some great game in modern times but the CONSTANT updates, installs etc are so damn annoying. The simplicity of putting a game in and it just f'n working is something special. Thanks a ton for watching!
2000-2009 was a beautiful era
@@YoungMrBlue 2007-2013
All the installing is really annoying it takes about 5-6 hours just to try a new game you just bought now and that just sucks.
@@notthatdigusted7468 And more often than not now the game will likely suck/not worth all the time and hassle getting it installed.
My friend had Morrowind on Xbox and it blew my mind. The idea of freely adventuring around a huge continent was awe inspiring back then. Great console
We've never played that one but have heard great things. We have some buddies that absolutely love it. We'll find it game hunting some day I'm sure and add it to the collection. Cheers!
Morrowind is the best game ever made, even after 5K hours i still had stuff to discover!
Aw man, my buddies and I used to sit in a room together with 3 xboxes and 3 TVs, each playing our own morrowind game. Miss that!
I used to turn to my friend every hour or so in utter disbelief that this game could even exist and look so good while existing.
@@maxvanbreemen
I just really wish I could of had this Game when I had an Original Xbox in the beginning… I had Halo & the ‘Pack In’ Sega GT 2002/Jet SetRadio & Splinter Cell .. But going back and trying to play Morrowind now on my OneX is difficult because I Started with Oblivion (a game that really got me into Huge Open World RPG’s)
Dreamcast is the true forgotten 6th gen console
Pour one out
I'm broke, so just *pretend* I'm pouring mine out as I drink it.
LOVE the Dreamcast. That was the first console I ever bought with my own cash. Wish it wasn't so damn expensive to collect for these days. We have a pretty decent collection for it but there is a lot more games we'd like to get at some point. Cheers!
@@GamingOffTheGrid I actually JUST barely started collecting for it this last summer. Definitely a pricey (and noisy) boy, but god is it fun to play and collect for! Jet Grind Radio, Hydro Thunder, Grandia 2 all a great time
Dreamcast is on another level all together than the OG Xbox, you can say the PS2 is also. They are both much closer to legit arcade hardware than the Xbox which is just an average PC. I have a couple OG Xboxs still just for the fact of having one but they aren't what gaming is about.
that's not true. I've never even HEARD of a Dreamcast.. o.... *pours one out*
As someone who’s had their original Xbox since 2003 I can say that buying the memory card was beyond worth it. My console has been on its last leg for some time and I’ve put dozens upon dozens of hours into certain games. The memory card (although not perfect) has let me copy & transfer some of those saves to my new original Xbox console I recently picked up (limited edition green Halo Xbox). It’s pretty hit or miss but if one of the games you’re looking to transfer supports the memory card it’s a great “get out of jail free” card for someone with a dwindling system. NFL Street 2 was the game that made me the happiest, as I was able to copy my saved teams I spent decades playing with, onto my new console.
Great insight. We use ours quite a bit but like you mention some games don't play nice with it lol. Thanks for watching. Cheers!
Memory Cards are to back up your saves and transfer them, so you don’t lose them all if the hard drive dies.
We just recently got a memory card for it so need to mess with it more. But I couldn't get my Burnout file to transfer for the life of me lol
@@GamingOffTheGrid Just a note. Some games save files are too big for the memory cards you can get. That is why they don't offer a memory card choice. I am sure there is a list somewhere.
@@GamingOffTheGrid If I recall correctly, not all games supported memory card use. It was up to developers at the time, I believe.
That is correct!
Congrats on 7k guys, you two honestly deserve it your content is sooo good!
Thanks a ton! It's been a grind for sure. We appreciate the support man. For real. Cheers!
So I just started getting back into gaming and collecting the games and systems I used to play. So that means, I bought an OG Xbox, Xbox 360, Nintendo 64, GameCube, Switch, PS4, Series S for my new game room. All of these buying guide videos have been super helpful. Really enjoy your channel! Keep up the great content!
Thanks a ton! Enjoy the journey of building out your new game room. Cheers!
Just found your channel and absolutely love it. I love the OG XBOX. I have been actively collecting for it now for about the last 9 months. The games are cheap and really fun to play. I agree that the games will go up eventually. I see these and the PS3 games shooting up in value in the next year.
Thanks for subscribing!
Great video guys! Here are my recommendations that weren't mentioned: Logitech's Xbox wireless controller (amazing), Star Wars: Republic Commando, the MechAssault games, Greg Hastings Tournament Paintball, and I second making the Xbox your choice for multi-platform games.
We love our Logitech PS2 wireless controllers. Looks like we need to snag some on XBOX. We have the MechAssault games and love them. But the rest we need to grab. Especially Republic Commando. We are suckers for Star Wars games
Man I have my Xbox games but not my Xbox and Mech Assault isn't backward compatible on the 360
Yeah it isnt unfortunately! Hopefully you find an Xbox!
Love the channel! You should do more polls about what systems and games collectors are enjoying.
Thanks a ton for the feedback. We will look into it. But with 2 vids a week and a live stream we are close to capacity lol. Cheers!
I am watching your videos the whole day. Thanks Metal Jesus! You´re guys have a dope attitude. Greets from Germany.
Hell ya man! Thanks a ton for checking out the channel. Glad you are enjoying the vids. I know there's a time difference but would be cool to have you in a Sunday night live stream sometime to hand with the community. A lot of cool folks. Cheers!
OG Xbox is my favorite console of that generation and maybe favorite of all time. The 6th generation of consoles was really the last one that had the full games on the disc along with the developers actually taking chances on new games. After this generation, the games seemed to cost so much to develop that only sure fire hits/sequels were being made. 90% of the 3rd party games on Xbox were the best versions! Love it! Great video fellas! Keep them coming!
You are spot on. 6th Gen was epic. And since then things have gotten very formulaic as you mention. Developers where trying tons of new things and the 4 major consoles were all great. It's quite possibly the best generation of all time. Hard to argue against it for sure. Thanks a ton for watching. Cheers to the XBOX and 6th Gen!
Extremely underrated, I have mine modded with a 2tb hdd full of original xbox games and many others. It's priceless to me
A lot of people have been talking about modding/hacking! It's a good cheap way to go if your not a big physical media fan
@@GamingOffTheGrid definitely, and it'll preserve it.
100%
@@GamingOffTheGrid ironically I rewatched this video today lol, thanks again for the great content
Ya'll mentioned that the console usually goes for ~$30-40, but that's not really the case right now. The price has gone up recently, now it's hard to find it below $50 on eBay. Although, the prices of older and retro console stuff have been on the rise during these crazy times so it may go down after things settle down.
Ya eBay is always a little high. We have found several this year under $25. Garage sales, thrift stores, facebook market place etc. I would say don't pay more than $40. You should be able to get into one for $40 or less fairly easy. eBay is the quickest route though. Thanks a ton for watching. Cheers!
For me this is the ultimate all in one entertainment box, all you have to do is hard/softmod it and you've got everything! I love playing all my games right off the hard drive plus all the emulators / Chihiro games. I'm currently playing Virtua Cop 3, Phantom Dust, and Silent Hill 2 (never played this version vs ps2 ver back in the day). This is truly the Dreamcast 2 we never actually got from Sega. I need to get to playing JSRF and PDO great mentions guys. Oh yeah, and if you get the xbox to ps2 controller adapter it makes playing fighting games/ MAME games great since you can hook up your arcade sticks / Saturn ps2 controller.
Its definitely a powerhouse system! Great list of games you are playing there! Cheers!
I bought one for recently for 10 bucks. It was the unit only, so I need to get the necessary cables. Still, I look forward to building up the collection!
You need component cables for sure!
@@arsinyx I was just about to comment that
Enjoy it man! Such a hammer!
Fun video guys, the common problem with the XBox is the disc tray sticking. A tip to get past the disc tray issue is to take the rubber band out and put it in boiling water for a little while, if that does not work you can order them cheap and replace it easily. Many games on the XBox are cheap I would recommend giving Dragon's Lair 3D, Brute Force, and Crimson Skies a try they are cheap and fun!
Great info man. Thanks for the heads up. As far as the games we have Brute Force and Crimson Skies but need to check out Dragon's Lair. Thanks for watching man and hope all is well. Cheers!
This happens with my 2009 “Arcade” Model Xbox360.. I’ve taken it apart so many times to clean the Laser and Dust it out, but no matter what I do for that rubber band, It STILL goes into LOCK DOWN Mode!
Very annoying indeed-
I never had Either of my 4 OG Xbox’s do this thankfully! At least with the Xbox360 you could Buy Games Digital after the First couple years..
Was playing KOTOR 2 on mine over the Christmas break. Love that console so much
Very cool. Love those damn games. Would LOVE to see a proper remake. Probably won't ever happen but boys can dream lol. Thanks for watching. Cheers!
@@GamingOffTheGrid if you ever find them. The evil Dead games are a riot.
Voiced acted by Bruce Campbell. in one them you punt a demon little person at monster a weapon
On top of that there hidden special of out takes of Bruce...amazing stuff.
As someone who grew up with the Xbox it's most definitely worth buying. JSRF is my childhood and I still enjoy playing it!
100% Very cheap to collect for!
Just found your channel and am newly subbed - great video! I came across you guys because I was recently restoring an original xbox, and never having had one before, I'm now looking to add some classic titles for it. Your video has definitely helped me on that path
I legit just picked one up!! Perfect timing guys! I’ve got about 15 games so far. Just got a ps2 as well, about 15 games for it too. So excited to start collecting!!
Hell ya! Off to a good start. XBOX is pretty damn cheap to collect for right now. Hit thrifts, Pawns and garage sales and you'll get lucky. Thanks for watching man. Cheers!
Been collecting for the Xbox since 2013 and it’s been my favorite console since. Such a fun and cheap console and it plays the best version of games from my favorite gen of consoles. People still play online over Xlink Kai too!
You've got a bit of a jump on us. We're only about 3 years in but love collecting for the same reasons as you. We are way in to the Wii U right now too. Another cheap one to collect for but we sense a major spike coming for the Wii U. Thanks a ton for watching. Cheers!
Just discovered your channel lads. What a gem of CZcams channel. Devouring your content.
Hell ya man! Appreciate the feedback and glad you found us. Cheers!
Great video guys! I’ve been collecting for the og xbox again and this was useful
Thanks man! Its a hammer for sure! Cheera brotha!
Glad to see the Xbox getting some love! Funny it was the last console I bought that generation, but it's the one I have the most nostalgia for. Most likely because it was my introduction to online gaming and I made friends back in 03 that I still talk to daily. Great video guys.
Oh yes. This was the last console from this Gen we got into as well. Way more nostalgia for the Dreamcast, PS2 and Game Cube. But in recent years, mostly because of the low prices, we have started to built a pretty solid collection and are loving the console. Cheers to the OG XBox!
I'm gonna get one soon. I loved mine back in the day, I had the crystal edition ( that I sold for next to nothing along with 30 or 40 games because I was an idiot). Can't wait to get back into some SSX, Burnout, Conker, PGR, Forza 1, Ninja Gaiden, TimeSplitters, Crimson Skies and Jade Empire(that I never got to complete)
We all been there selling stuff and regretting it! Crystal one looks 🔥! All great games you mentioned! Cheers!
great channel guys , watched all the videos cant wait for the next upload.
Thanks for all the support! Much appreciated! Cheers!
Underrated. Absolute yes! Great video as always.
Thanks man! We love collecting for the console. The prices make it fun. Fairly affordable comparatively to the rest of the consoles from the generation. Cheers!
I had got an xbox when I was like 13 and absolutely loved it. My origonal one broke many years ago. I moved onto the 360 and didn't really look back but I have recently started collecting for it. It has some of my favorite game on it. I really like that generation of games as a whole.
Glad you had the 360 to fill your need!
Still have my OG Xbox and the "Duke" controllers. Love breaking out some hidden gems, like horror titles "The Suffering" 1&2 and "Tao Feng", a limb based fighting game that were adult-geared games exclusive to the Black & Green powerhouse. Games like that really gave the console it's cool factor and it's massive specs gave it some serious legitimacy as the top contender moving forward. Great vid and you guys are awesome, thanks for bringing me back down memory lane... and thank you for not mentioning Fusion Frenzy 2, we don't acknowledge that P.O.S. dumpster fire of a cash grab...
Got love the Duke! The Suffering games are awesome! Need to try out Tao Feng! Cheers!
Just found this channel tonight! Considering buying an OG Xbox again, you guys are awesome!!! Love the channel!
Thank you! Hope to see you around!
Still have mine. One of my favorite consoles of all time. Definitely my favorite of it's generation.
Very cool! Always nice when you are able to hang onto something and not have to rebuy it later on. Thanks a ton for watching. Cheers!
Same here, since back in mid 2004 when I was 9! My dad returned from working out of town one day at that time with the Xbox and Halo: Combat Evolved in a bundle as a surprise to the family, months before Halo 2 was out in November that year!
Hey, Robert admitted framerates matter! The fact Xbox was the first console to have DirectX support was a big deal for developers. It's why it got so many well optimized PC ports. You never mentioned you can rip your own CD's to the hard drive and listen to it while playing Burnout...what the hell!
LOL! Totally forgot about the CD thing. Never used it back in the day. Always just played with the stereo on too :). But it is cool for sure. Cheers!
But I thought the Dreamcast had DirectX support?
@@AECcomputers Yes, the Dreamcast had Windows CE support that had an integrated version of DirectX, but Sega had their own development tools that were overwhelmingly adopted by game developers. There were very few games that used the Microsoft API, whereas the Xbox was actually a shortened name for DirectXbox and all games ran the API, and continue to do so today.
Some great recommendations, ordering Fuzion Frenzy and Crazy Taxi 3. I totally missed out on these. Great episode guys! Cheers to the OG XBOX.
Hell ya dude. Both are right up your alley. I truly think you will love Fuzion Frenzy. So f'n fun man. Cheers!
@@GamingOffTheGrid hey I have Fuzion frenzy on my Xbox One x
Awesome! Enjoy!
Thanks for the great video I went and bought an original Xbox yesterday i can't wait to start a great collection I also subscribed to your channel
Awesome to here! Enjoy. Thanks a ton for watching and the support. Cheers!
Loved the OG Xbox. Such a great system. Loved the video. I have been purchasing for the last 3 years. Found great titles for cheap. Great video guys. Metal Jesus sent me.
Very cool! Thanks for stopping by. We are in the same boat. Both grew up playing mostly PS2 but the last 3 years we've been collecting the OG XBox hard. Great console. Cheers!
Love the OG Xbox. I still have my collection of most my games and started collecting again, and as you mentioned, most of the games are cheaper too. One game you should have brought up is the Dead or Alive series, both 3 and Ultimate were some of the most played games with my friends along with Halo.
Unfortunately we don't have any of the games from the series on XBOX yet. We have been on the look out though. Thanks a ton for watching man. Greatly appreciated. Cheers!
Damn it guys you are making me want to bulk up my OG Xbox collection lol. Awesome video!
Lots of low hanging fruit there. Super cheap to get in on right now. Not sure if that will change or not. Cheers!
Loved this episode, beer and Xbox speaks to me lol. been quietly collecting this system over a year, buying game lots and 2nd hand shops, cheap and looks great. Love the doom 3 metal case one the most right now.
Awesome man! Such a great system to collect for right now!
Had mine for years but stopped playing it around 10 years ago and am slowly rebuilding my collection. I’m shocked at just how cheap the games are right now, gonna be hard not to go overboard with this one lol, so many good games are literally dirt cheap, I had no idea.
Best part about it for sure. We've been going hard on collecting for the console. It's a fun one to collect for indeed. Cheers!
Love the OG Xbox. Been collecting for a few years now. I have noticed a slight uptick in prices for some of the rarer titles, otherwise prices have seemed stable on everything else. My favorite thing about it is most games support 480p with a few titles supporting 720p.
We've only been going at it for a few years as well. About 3 to be exact. Really enjoying collecting for it. It's nice when you can still find deals out in the wild. Thanks a ton for watching. Cheers!
Amazing video guys. Keep up the good work.
Thanks man! Glad you liked it! Cheers!
Discovered your channel a few weeks ago guys,its helping me with my mental health issues thanks so much guys your knowledge of games is second to none
Thanks for finding us and we are so glad we can help you out man! Hope all ends up going well for you! Cheers!
@@GamingOffTheGrid Thanks so much dudes it means alot I will keep avidly watching the channel Cheers guys
Thanks man!
My favorite console. It's been so underrated for so long.
It's a great console and Microsoft really crushed it out of the park for being their first home console!
When Microsoft was a good company
It was definitely better then!
I got one back in 2017. Love it.
Awesome!
Hey guys - just bought an OG Xbox and found this content. The Xbox was my college console. So many great memories playing co-op and vs. games like Tao Feng, Tiger Woods, Soul Calibur 2, NBA Street, etc. Love the channel!
Awesome man! Hope you are enjoying it! So many bangers! Glad you are enjoying the channel! Cheers!
@@GamingOffTheGrid Cheers! As I sudden have an urge to listen to Local H (first real band I ever saw live btw!)
One of our all time favorites!
i always see myself going back to clean my dusty old original xbox to play conker, the warriors and halo games.
This is a good video thank you Gaming Off The Grid! i don't own The Duke controller but soon i will
Thanks! Those are all staples for the OG! The Duke is so awesome and well worth it! 🍻
You guys should start a podcast!
We've kicked the tires on that idea. Probably something we'll look into down the line. For now were focused on the main thing. It would be fun as hell though. Thanks for watching. Cheers!
Crazy to think that it's been 20 years...🤯
No doubt! Time is flying by and we're getting old lol. Thanks for watching. Cheers!
Greetings ! All the best for you guys!!
Thanks a ton for watching. Cheers!
Excellent review you guys have such a great vibe
Thanks a ton! We have a pretty good time in our vids for sure :). Cheers!
The cool thing is Microsoft is doing something very similar to their original console now with the Series, game pass and cloud gaming is almost as revolutionary as having a built in hard drive in the original Xbox.
Also the original was the most powerful console in its time , and you could say the same thing for the Series X
It is a powerhouse! We love playing it!
Started recollecting again and after losing my original copy years ago, it really is shocking how cheap some of the games are. Panzer Dragoon Orta as an example is still around $80 AUD.
People still have massive nostalgia for the GameCube and PS2, hence how expensive they are to collect for (which is understandable), but as the years roll on, people will start to understand the true worth of the OG XBOX and value for games will absolutely skyrocket.
Still an awesome time to get in while everything is still cheap!
You nailed it. XBOX is flying under the radar of nostalgia. It’s a great time for OG Xbox fans. But enjoy it because the collectors market always catches up. Thanks for watching. Cheers 🍻!
New to the show love you guys already
Thanks man! Glad you enjoy our videos! Cheers!
I really enjoy the videos you guys make and y’all have a great chemistry between you(even if sometimes it does look like y’all are given each other the “Stink Eye” Lol, but that just goes to show y’all Good Friends)
I really see this channel going somewhere!!
Thanks a ton dude! Really appreciate the feedback and support. Glad you’re enjoying the vids. Cheers!
i bought one recently but it took awhile because these things are just hard to come by now a days
Totally agree! We don't see them in the wild very often but when we do we get excited!
had urge to buy one in 2019. i just wanted to play bloodwake lol
great game
Halo 2 on Xbox Live after school was the greatest!
Such an amazing ERA! PS2, XBOX and Game Cube were all epic! Thanks a ton for watching. Cheers!
Little premature but its inevitable but first 25k viewed video. Congrats guys. Keep chopping down milestone after milestone before you know it you will have your first 100k viewed video. Keep it up. Love you guys
Thanks man! Not sure what the heck made this vid out of all the vids pop but whatever :). You Tube is a funny platform. Hope all is well man. Cheers!
Hey guys, just to let you know this is missing from your all things Xbox playlist, just thought best to let you know. Another great video btw 👍
Thanks man! We can forget to put videos in the playlist! Cheers!
Did you guys remove the clock capacitor? 👀
We haven't but after getting through this comment section today we're going to open up both of ours this weekend and perform a little bit of surgery. Sounds like a major issue waiting to happen. Thanks a ton for watching. Cheers!
I still have both my original consoles being the standard black unit along with the Crystal edition both purchased new at retail.Leaking clock capacitor and brocken coroded traces seems to be the major point of failure.
@@georgeewing2993 precisely
If the console is made after 2004 its a 1.6 motherboard revision and the clock cap isnt an issue. But anything prior has that clock capacitor that can leak everywhere
@@rx8flip still wouldn't hurt to open it up all the 3300uf caps in my 1.6 was leaking. Just saying
totally love the original Xbox
just bought one myself last year
It's a pretty epic machine and fun as hell to collect for because it's cheap :). Thanks for watching. Cheers!
Love your content guys, keep up the great work, fan from England 👍
Thanks man! Much Appreciated!
I like the local h shirt! Theyre awesome! I saw them a couple years ago and hung out with the band. Great og xbox buying guide
Finding other H fans is always a win :)! Most underrated band ever! Thanks a ton for watching and CHEERS to Local H! Boom!
@@GamingOffTheGrid
Hell yeah cheers to you guys as well! Ive noticed you guys always have good band shirts, the 90’s are the best. Drinkin a beer at the moment playin simpsons road rage
My PS2 bit the dirt from one of my kids tripping on the chord.
Shitty. Hopefully you are able to find a decent replacement. Life isn't the same without a PS2 lol. Cheers!
@retro game fan I don't really like wireless controllers personally except for Wii
Still have mine from release day.
Very cool! We didn't start collecting heavy for it until about 3 years ago but really enjoy the console for sure. Thanks a ton for watching. Cheers!
Love you guys!!
I got a Xbox that I don’t know works yet. Gonna test it now!! Thanks for your input guys
Hell ya! Fingers crossed man. Recent pick up? Did you get a good deal on it?
Actually was just randomly at my parents house which is weird cause had PlayStation growing up I never actually owned an original XBOX. But fingers crossed it works!!
Great topic! Back in 2001, it seemed like OVERNIGHT there were Halo LAN parties everywhere I went. It took over every household. You would go to a friend's house, sit on the couch, and they would hand you an Xbox controller to play Halo. They didn't even ask if you wanted to play; they just flopped a controller in your lap. I always sucked at it, but still have lots of great memories. Cheers guys!
It definitely was a game changer. We were never XBOX guys but did have a ton of fun at LAN parties back in the day. And we've really been enjoying collecting for it lately because it's so damn cheap for the most part. 6th Gen was pretty damn epic. It was a great time to be a gamer. Cheers!
I mean I spent $20 bucks for the console, 3 games and a controller and ive been having a blast
Hell ya! The deals are out there. We got a lot of people saying we were way off on what you can get one for these days :). Thanks a ton for watching. Cheers!
How long will a generic controller of xbox last ?. Please tell. I want to buy xbox
@@rayyanamir8560 I dunno how long it'll last but mines original and works fine
You take good care of it should last a very long time!
2nd greatest console ever! 360 is number 1. But the OG is was great! 39 are compatible with Series S/X. Great games. Emulation beast like you've shown numerous times as well! I still play OG games regularly!
It's a hammer for sure. We just started collecting for it about 3 years ago. So we're not experts by any means but are enjoying hunting for games on it. Thanks a ton for watching. Cheers!
Weird to hear someone ranking the 360 as their 1st lmao
@@user-yk1cw8im4h how is it weird? It was well loved. I had to buy like 9 of them since I was overseas for like it's whole lifespan. Great games. Back when Xbox used to make them. That and third party games were basically only playable on 360 or of course PC. Amazing on-line architecture and community as well. I still spend a lot of time with my Series S and X playing 360 games.
Everyone has there own taste! We respect all opinions!
Starting watching these guys a couple days ago and now I watch them daily
Hell ya! Awesome to hear. Glad you are enjoying the content. We greatly appreciate the support. Cheers!
@@GamingOffTheGrid no problem
Yes! collecting for 6th and 7th gen systems like it my day job!
Great video guys! Cheers.
Thanks!
YES! This is my personal favorite other than the N64. Largely because it was the first console I saved up to buy myself as a kid so that I could play Halo....its all about the HALO!
Plenty of other greats on there but Halo is what got me started into the Xbox world
That bond with the first console you buy with your own money is an awesome thing. For me it's the Dreamcast. You are spot on. Collecting for the OG and 360 is a lot of fun right now. Thanks a ton for watching. Cheers!
If you still have it, I have a game suggestion; Munch's Oddysee
@@amsterdam6141 that's one of the few I haven't grabbed but it's on my list.
Great game!
I think the easy answer here is - "Yes, of course".
Boom! Thanks for watching and cheers to the OG XBox. Very fun to collect for in 2021 for sure.
Premature but it's coming in the next couple days but congrats on your first 30k view video. You guys just keep making bigger goals. Well deserved.
Thanks man! Not sure why this one popped but we're sure glad that it did. Cheers!
For whatever reason, you guys’ Channel Reminds me of Christmas!!???
Idk why really? But for A Gaming Channel to remind me of such an important Holiday, Just means that there is something Special here!!
Hoe you guys are all doing Well & Hope to see New Content from you guys in the Future!?
well there definitely worst things it could remind you of lol. we release 2 episodes a week and stream sunday nights and we plan to go nowhere. we appreciate the kind words and hope to see you around alot more man cheers
Sucks how the world just let's these games die out just from being old💔🥺
Ya it was an amazing console generation. Good thing there are retro freaks like us who keep it alive a little bit :). Thanks for watching man! Cheers!
I own 7 OG Xbox one brand new💚🎮💚
Hell yes! LAN Party at your place. Tee it up breh! Cheers!
Nice video! Personally I'm a big fan of the Xbox Original as it was a childhood console. It's definitely great for 3rd party titles. The console having a built-in hard drive allowed certain games to only be possible on the OG Xbox and PC during that generation.
I think people should get the console but also of course in the long run I'd recommend someone get all the consoles from the 6th generation as they all have their own great exclusives and qualities.
6th Gen was epic man. Really hard to not put it at the top. All 4 major consoles were badass and are still amazing to play to this very day. It was a really fun time to be a gamer for sure. Thanks a ton for watching. Cheers!
Just got my console for 115$ Canadian, and about 20 games including Halo, Morrowind, call of duty, Timesplitters for another 90$ Canadian. I’m pumped to get playing these games and relive that nostalgia! Good video guys :)
Answer: Yes
Boom! Cheer to that!
@@GamingOffTheGrid .....and I play as Zak... fight me... lol
😂

One of the common problems with the OG Xbox was some of the earlier models had faulty clock capacitors that would eventually leak and corrode the motherboard resulting in a red circle of death. My Xbox back in 2003 did that after only a year of owning it. I bought it brand new which came with the smaller S controller and the Sega GT/JSRF bundle game. I bought a used Xbox 4 years ago and it still works great so if you're buying an OG Xbox in 2021 then chances are it's not going to have that problem.
Great info and a few others have mentioned this. We have yet to have the problem with the 2 we have but this has motivated us to open them up and get them out of there. Neither of the clocks work any way. Appreciate the info man. Cheers!
What about it 2022?
Still a great console to collect for!
You guys again. Thank u for your videos :)
lol Thanks for watching!
13:50 good to see you guys like the bioware games too
Yeah we enjoy them very much! Cheers!
First the Wii U! Now this! Come on guys. I only play the series X. I would even take yours for free! Lol. O and Ale Smith is great and most of the beers are racing themed. Cheers! - flat earth guy
I'm packing up my Wii to slip off to the UK so they can't try to take it from me!
I need to get out of here before they force me to get a *THIRD* Wii U! 🤫
@@scramblesthedeathdealer lol. Those guys always pushing their agenda on us!! Fuck it. I’m buying a Wii U for every room in the house. And Xbox! Cheers!
LMFAO! Watch GOTG and lose your free will :). We have been loading XBOX games onto our new XBOX One like crazy. It's been a lot of fun. Cheers breh! Hope all is well.
I just got my hands on the halo edition Xbox starting my collection. I just hit that sub and notification squad 👍🏻
Awesome variant of the console. Have always loved how the Halo Edition looks. Thanks for watching and the support. Much appreciated. Cheers!
So I am not an XBOX collector. I own the OG with a handful of games just to say I have it. BUT I am definitely going to look up some videos of light gun games now because of this video. I also want to find a Duke controller and pick up a copy of Fusion Frenzy. Great perspective in this video boys!
Thanks man! Good luck finding those!
Just bought my OG xbox and awaiting delivery.... i totally agree with your points. No nostalgia value, was always a nintendo and sony boy... and this is my first xbox. Why not try where it alllllll began. Im genuinely excited about collecting for it
Yeah we fully understand that and we have fallen in love with the OG Xbox!
Just grabbed a Madcatz light gun today with House of the Dead 3, super excited to test this bad boy. Cant wait for an episode from you guys dedicated to xbox light gun games!
Awesome! You will have lots of fun!
@@GamingOffTheGrid GotG with the throwback response lol! Its definitely fun for HotD3, its also cool that HotD2 is unlockable by beating it. But yeah overall not much light gun action otherwise on the console. Its cool that ps2 and xbox both used the same model madcatz but had different buttons. Xbox comes with Turbo and the Ps2 Madcatz light gun (as I recently learned through yall) toggles between Guncon and Justifier. Really awesome stuff!
Enjoyed this one. Curious about some of the stuff behind you guys. Shelving? NES cases?
Shelving is just a common media shelving from best buy and the side stuff is wal mart :). As far as the game cases go we have a video on that. I'll drop you the link. Cheers!

I love the OG Xbox and collecting for it. The console and games are cheap at the moment but some of the rarer titles are starting to get up to the $100 range. I think in time collecting for it will start to catch on as it becomes hard to find. And you raised a good point that there are only a handful of games that are on the backwards compatibility list. The OG Xbox is also an emulators dream and easy to hack to load your entire game collection on a larger hard drive eliminating the need to use your discs.
Totally. We have really just starting collecting for it in the last 3 years. Right about the time the channel started. Having a blast with it. We definitely need to explore hacking ours at some point. I'm certain I can figure it out but finding the time is the issue. Thanks a ton for watching. Cheers!
Yeah I still have my original xbox to, I also have 360 and xbox one s. I mainly play playstation and Nintendo consoles but I still like xbox from time to time for some games for sure. Good video to! You just earned a new subb @Gaming Off The Grid. Gears of War is my favorite exclusive xbox series to.
Thanks for subbing!
I am actually about to get one. I can't wait.
Awesome! Enjoy!
I think it’s obvious we love our OG Xbox. We lost one of ours to a leaky capacitor unfortunately but thankfully they are pretty cheap to buy. Great game selections as always, thought we had JSRF but I guess not. I’ll be on the look out for it in March
Cheers 🍻
Turns out the combo version of JSRF is way cheap. Like $10-$15 ish. Keep your eyes peeled for that one. Cheers to the OG XBOX and.........THE DUKE! Lol
Awesome channel
Thanks a ton man! We appreciate you stopping by and your feedback. Cheers!
I went into some older ones of yalls for this,,, nice yall !!! Happy Collecting !
Thanks! We loved doing these videos! Cheers!
Thank you guys! I've been waiting for this video for so long. In this generation of consoles, I only had money for one console. I chose the Xbox and it was a very good decision. She was brilliant in multiplayer alone. Halo 1 + 2, Project Gotham Racing 2, Sega GT, Rallysport Challenge 2, Jet Set Radio Future, Fable, Doom 3, DoA 3, Ghost Recon 2, Otogi 1 + 2, Panzer Dragoon Orta, XIII, Red Faction 2, Burnout 3, SSX 3, Outrun 2, KOTOR, Tony Hawk 3 and many, many more games that give me these Sweetened time. I still love them to this day even if there were of course a few PS2 or CG exclusive games that I was a bit jealous of at times. But it was the other way also.
We are far from experts with the good ol' XBOX. We only really started getting into it about 3 years ago. We were missing out for sure. We both played Halo and stuff back in the day with friends and stuff but never really dug into what it had to offer. It is truly a brilliant machine. It is our Burnout 3 console :). Can't get enough of that game. Really glad that it has stayed relatively cheap to collect for. 6th Gen was epic man. Thanks a ton for watching. Cheers!
@@GamingOffTheGrid "6th Gen was Epic" Nothing more to say. All good to you guys.
Yep the best gen ever in our opinions!
