However I've at all times had an irrational love for the OG Xbox (I used to be 22 when it launched). Liked the design, the HDD, the Sega DNA it inherited. So (as soon as once more) I bought a v1.5 unit; clear, quiet, extraordinarily well-maintained, and added it to my recreation room.

Enjoying on my good CRT has been joyful; you actually see the work that went into making these visuals sing on the shows it was meant for. Actually pleased to have one once more; presently taking part in via Halo and the good console port of DOOM 3.

(Wow, official Xbox element cables ain't low-cost!)
