Story time: when I was 9 I asked my mom for this. She convinced me I wouldn't get it, so I gave up hope. I opened all my Christmas presents totally forgetting I even wanted one. About an hour after I opened all my gifts my mom brings out my last gift, The Xbox. The first game I got for it... Bloodrayne. It was fucking amazing. I'm getting all teary eyed just thinking about it.

Bro that's crazy I literally have the same story I lived with my aunt and uncle and asked them for an Xbox the year it launched but they had convinced me they couldn't get a hold of one but I would instead get a PS2. Well when Christmas came me and my cousin were opening gifts and he opened one and it was a GameCube. He wanted one really bad but my aunt and uncle told him the same thing they told me they weren't able to get one so when I saw that he actually got the GameCube I immediately scanned the room for the biggest box and opened it and low and behold there it was the Microsoft Xbox. I got so excited that I had an asthma attack and had to use my nebulizer machine lol. It was awesome tho I also got Dead or Alive 3, Tony Hawk 2X, Project Gotham Racing and Halo Combat Evolved. That was the best Christmas of my life and I still have that Xbox all these years later.

I think the thing with the XBOX is that it did everything that everyone else was doing but it did it way better. The landscape at the time was the PS2 and the dreamcast. The PS2 had a vast library of games but they were beginning to look outdated. The dreamcast had improved on the graphics and was trying to do next generation stuff but it was too early. Then comes the Xbox, what impress me to begin with is that the games started out fast. Damn did the system have memory built in. Before you had to buy the external memory packs and they were used up quickly, not the Xbox... shit I dont think anyone who didn't hack it even used 10% of its memory. Add to that Xbox live!

Well the Jedi were always being wiped out and then the Sith vice versa so it would be like constant dark ages not allowing technology to progress to rapidly. But in KOTOR they do use Viroswords a ton which could be a view into a more primitive technology.

The XBox was my favorite 6th gen console. I had all four of the 6 gens and I thought the XBox had the best games and I loved how you could make your own playlist. Some games had terrible music, so it was awesome to listen to tunes that I enjoy while playing a game.

Huge DC fan at the time and Xbox just felt like the spiritual successor to me (the exclusive license for 12 games probably). Great system with great games and introduced the standard for console online gaming (another DC influence). Now I have go play some Stubbs the Zombie.

35:00 This is inaccurate. You CAN obtain the patch without Xbox Live. The patch is included in the physical "Halo 2 Multiplayer Map Pack", along with a few other online patches as well as, obviously, multiplayer maps. The pack is also compatible with 360, and it can be obtained for cheap.

The first Xbox is definitely underappreciated It had a horribly short lifespan and even if multi-platform games were superior on it, that was a kind of shallow reason to get it if the exclusive library was weak But it wasn't really Halo 1 and 2 Amped, Project Gotham Racing Fuzion Frenzy Oddworld Munch's Oddysee and Stranger's Wrath Panzer Dragoon Orta Jet Set Radio Future Fable Jade Empire Ninja Gaiden 2004 Psychonauts Conker Live and Reloaded Mechassault Crimson Skies High Road to Revenge Knights of The Old Republic Stubbs the Zombie Chaos Theory Forza 1 Dead or Alive 3 Brute Force Breakdown Along with some quality PC ports like Far Cry and Half-Life 2 The problem was, how many of these games were well-known? Microsoft pushed the Xbox aside immediately so that the 360 would sell, Microsoft used expensive parts for the first Xbox which resulted in them losing money, but the 360, being produced cheaper, got them turning a profit Even if its first three years were solid, after that, the 360 is probably the most overrated console ever, when people say the Xbox One has no games, were they there for the 360's final years?

The original Xbox is one of my favorite game consoles of all-time. I own it since Christmas 2004, but later got another one in June 2016. Games I have are "MechAssault", "WWE RAW 2", "Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge", "Project Gotham Racing", "Forza Motorsport", "Blinx: The Time Sweeper", "Voodoo Vince", "Quantum Redshift", "Sega GT 2002/Jet Set Radio: Future", "The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay", "Deathrow", "Counter-Strike", "Unreal Championship", "Breakdown", etc. as well as cross-platform games like "ESPN NFL 2K5", "Metal Arms: Glitch in the System", "Max Payne" (and it's sequel "Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne"), "Grand Theft Auto III", "Grand Theft Auto: Vice City", "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas", "SoulCalibur II", "Manhunt", "Beyond Good & Evil", "Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc", "Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell" trilogy, "NCAA Football 2003", "True Crime: Streets of L.A.", "Freedom Fighters", "BLACK", "Return to Castle Wolfenstein: Tides of War", etc. as well as Xbox games that came out on PC, like "DOOM 3" and "Dead Man's Hand".

I love my Xbox. I have put many hours into it in the fairly short amount of time I have had it (three and a half years). One of my favorites on the system is Doom 3 Limited Collectors Edition because it has The Ultimate Doom, Doom II, and Doom 3. I am *fairly* new at collecting for the system, but I look forward to expanding upon my small collection :)

Great video! The intro to Halo was freaking hilarious. I was one of the people who got this console on day 1 and even pre-ordered Halo. The coop mode in the first Halo was pretty awesome, and it had a few other great games like Mortal Kombat Deception/Deadly Alliance...but for some reason I got bored with it when I got my new pc and kept going back to my pc at the time for the FPS games that were coming out. The console was very impressive for it's time, but I was upset that a DVD controller was required to play the DVD's. I ended up trading it all in to upgrade my pc. Enclave was another amazing title.

I heard a rumor that SEGA went to MS for financial aid back in 2000. The deal SEGA proposed was that if MS would hold off on releasing the Xbox and supported the Dreamcast, then SEGA would develop games exclusively for MS after the Dreamcast ran its course. For whatever reason, MS declined and the Dreamcast had to be discontinued. There were still several games in development for the DC at that time and the Xbox was the easiest system to port them over to. I'm not sure how much of this is factual though.

It's underrated because it sucks. Seriously, the original Xbox was like the Sega Master System of the 6th gen consoles. It had boring, generic, lackluster, and uninspired games that nobody wants to play (with the exception of Jet Set Radio Future (thank fuck for emulators now)), the controller was terrible. It was a fucking hamburger sized controller, and the S controller wasn't any better. They still kept that horrendous D-Pad and used those stupid ass black and white buttons as opposed to just using bumpers like the PS2 (and somewhat like the GameCube with the Z button). Then when you move the Xbox when there's a disc inside, it scratches it, and apparently Microsoft still doesn't understand that. I don't know many people who still has their original Xbox. Most people said they took it back because of how underwhelming as shit it is. I haven't met one person who took back their PS2 or GameCube. So yeah, it's underrated because it was a terrible console with terrible games. I feel sorry for anyone who grew up with only this console. I'd regret getting such a shitty console if I were any of those idiots who bought one.
