I Bought a BRAND NEW OG XBOX FROM EBAY in 2021...

So it's the 20th Anniversary of Xbox, and to celebrate, I decided to buy a BRAND NEW SEALED Original Xbox console from eBay! This Xbox console is awesome, and I'm excited to open it up. This one is even a special holiday bundle that came with 3 games. And like I said, this console is SEALED, so I'm the first one to open the Xbox console up. What's your favorite OG Xbox game??

I used to love copying my CDs on to the console and listening to them on the radio in GTA III ☺️

Those game's on the back of the box just bring back waves of nostalgia.

The coolest part is that somebody who bought this bundle in winter 2005 can play their copy of Fusion Frenzy in an Xbox Series X today

Back when you can just pop a game in and go… no downloading and installing bs

Popping that thing open took me back to Christmas 2001 when I got one brand new, first model. Opened that bad boy to play... Blinx! Hard to believe twenty years have gone by since then. I was still in high school and still a console gamer! Twas a genuinely good memory from back then.

So amazing to see a brand new one.
Your very lucky it boots as those old units have a capacitor that's used to keep the real time clock and they are well known to leak and damage the board, I 3 og xbox's and they all have failed capacitors in them, im in the process of cleaning and repairing the damage on the boards.
Have to admit I nearly cried when you cut the seal on the box.

I bought one of them sealed in Italy for 20$ last year as the seller didn't know what he was having in a joblot xd

I was a PS2 gamer back when this came out but I still like looking back where it all started for Xbox.

As a collector of everything Xbox, good on you for opening this time capsule, i honestly don’t like leaving these sealed, I like handling the pieces in my collection. I display all of mine on shelves and display the boxes as well.

The widescreen mode actually wasn’t zoomed. The Xbox was made to play on a widescreen tv.

Bought one recently off eBay for around £20, replaced hard drive, added a mod chip, replaced clock cap as it was bulging and added a Wii hdmi port inside. Well happy with it.

Back then, I was into next gen technology like any typical kid, but when the 1st lockdown happened, it hit me. I was filled with nostalgia and I couldn't stop getting into it more and more. So in Thursday 15th October 2020, I got my first PlayStation 1 games, Spyro the Dragon and Gran Turismo 2. A couple months back I went in my loft and got my mother's N64 and Sega Dreamcast. That's when it really kicked in, as it was not working I restored them and boy did they change me. Sure I got emulators like Dolphin, Project64, PS2 etc but this really hit me. I now prefer 1980s- 90s way more than nowadays. You guys got the best consoles. I do have an Xbox 360 so I can play Xbox games luckily.

Props for opening this. I'm sure alot of people are angry that you did but you know what, you only live once so why not. I was a PS2 guy as well so I missed out on experiencing the OG Xbox Live. I'm glad there is an attempt to bring it back.

Did it still have that "new console" smell? :D

[gregsmith]

Had the ogiotinal Xbox back when it was current and loved it. Didn't own a PS/2 or Gamecube. First Gamecube experience was backwards compatibility through the original Wii.

[dwightdixon]

Yes sir, I have many OG Xbox consoles including a new never used Halo edition, CIB Mountain Dew edition, Crystal Clear edition and a few OG consoles that we used for Halo multiplayer LAN parties. Never sold a single OG Xbox. They take up a lot of space LOL

[BirdFusion]

This was nice to watch 😄
Looks like this Xbox was made in 2005 so it shouldn't have the leaking time capacitor issue the older versions did.

[Throbingkcoc]

This is the only generation where I had every console. I had the GameCube, PS2, Dreamcast and XBox. Great memories and my favorite console generation.

Next up, we’ll have to wait exactly 1 year on this day for the 20 year anniversary of Xbox Live.

[boogattiveyron]

$200 for the console, 3 great games, and 2 months of Xbox live, now it’s like $300 for the console, 0 games, 1 month of Xbox live
