So I bought an original Xbox 

Hey everyone! Thanks so much for watching the video! The legend of Spyro stream ended, but you can watch the replay here! ru-vid.comIbUVelNKNOs?feature=sharea

As a 34 year old, this was a very amusing watch. Hope you enjoy your og xbox! I grew up with n64 and eventually a ps2 but one summer my uncle laoned me his xbox with like a dozen games. Great summer.

As a 28 year old I had an internal crisis watching this; holy shit I’m getting old lol. Great story

11:57 as a very early gen z this made me laugh so hard as I grew up with the OG Xbox

lmao as a gen z kid, i grew up with AV cables

They make super cheap hdmi cables for the OG xbox. I suggest those instead. A lot less hassle then those av to hdmi boxes that need power and all that.

Crimson Skies, Blood Wake, MechAssault, Panzer Dragoon Orta, and Quantum Redshift are some good exclusives for the OG Xbox.

I'm only 18(2005er here) but I grew up with this old hunk of a console. So seeing someone of a similar age getting their first experience with this console is so fun to see! Your reaction to the startup screen is so validating for me cuz I thought that shit looked SICK as a kid. Hell I still do

be sure you get the clock capacitor removed, or else it might get murdered and then it'll actually be bricked lol, great video btw! earned yourself a sub

Yessir! Can't beat that OG Xbox boot animation lol. Bout took me out when I saw the placement of the AV cables 😂😂😂😂😂😂

they make hdmi adapters for the og xbox. so you can play in 720p!

I'm only 25 years old and watching this video brings up all the memories i have of the og xbox and the legend of spyro a new beginning.

Lord seeing this at 27. Seeing a later generations experience and reaction is wild.

I was born in 2005, but I love my original Xbox! Forza Motorsport and Mechassault are some of my favorites. Way too many hours on this system with my sister lol.

As a 27 yr old this video scares me 😂😂, but I will say it's wholesome seeing most the comments welcoming you to a blast from the past with the original xbox.

A little tip. Formatting means to erase absolutely everything off of the drive, even how the drive organizes files, in order to put a specific way to read and organize files onto the hard drive so you can actually use it with your system. It essentially is just a way to erase absolutely everything off of the drive and prepare it for a brand new system. Also, more than likely, your hard drive works, but your 360 is a model that cant read certain xbox original titles. I have an older slim model and it STILL cant play a lot of xbox original titles. Its frustrating because Microsoft and everyone else makes the 360 SEEM like its backwards compatible but its just like the ps3. only certain models are ACTUALLY backwards compatible.

Im 23 (June 2000 baby), I grew up with my older brothers original Xbox from 2002, and i still have it. So many great memories playing Halo 2 and many other games on it when i was 5-8 years old.

The OG Xbox is a great console. I had one back in the day but unfortunately had to sell it. I recently purchased another one off of Facebook marketplace with two controllers and 15 games and I love it just as much as I did back in the day. It's cool to see the younger generations playing these older consoles and enjoying them as much as I did when I first got mine when I was about your age. I was 20 when it first came out back in 2001. I think I first got mine back in 2003 or 04. Never be embarrassed to like what u like to play. I bought the Spyro trilogy for my PS4 even tho I never played them back in the day on the PS2. I'm 42 and I love the Lego games. I have a bunch of them for all my consoles whether it's my PS2 PS3 or my PS4.

Wait im Gen Z and i know about AV cables, must be a Mexico thing, it's cool to see someone discover the og xbox, i grew up with a 360 on the late 2000s, but i have go back on the OG xbox games that are playable on series x, for me to recommend games it will depend on how you feel on star wars ,if you like it i recommend Battlefront 2, Knights of the old republic and republic commando, if want a fun sport game try Tony Hawk pro skater 3 or 4, try one of the best games of all time spongebob battle for bikini bottom (no ironic it is good af) and if you are in to red head chicks i recommend bloodrayne, alongside of curse your thyphical games like halo, mortal kombat and gta (which the og xbox has the best entries of each series).

Edit: Nvm I saw a few comments on it already. But I would advise to also check on your disc drive as those can hit the fritz too. Pretty good video btw, I grew up with 6th gen consoles and as a 21 year old with a brother around your same age, it's cool seeing a younger generation look into these consoles. I'm unsure if a commenter has addressed this yet, but I'd check what version of OG Xbox you have as there is an issue with the clock capacitor in specific variants. If you can, look up a guide and see what version it is. Ask your dad or someone good with electronics to help get it out of there. You'd have to set the clock every time you start it up, but it's better than having your OG Xbox destroyed internally.

Some more recommendations for "only on xbox" games: Voodoo Vince, Midtown Madness 3, Rallysport Challenge, Nightcaster, Kingdom under Fire: The Crusaders, Thief: Deadly Shadows and (not an exclusive but) the best version of Burnout Revenge. I adore the OG Xbox, it is a little light on some genres, but overall it has a solid catalogue.

your art style is freaking adorable

I got an OG X Box last year. I have spent a lot of time on it. Great system! Get Knights of the Old Republic, Morrowind GOTY edition. No brainer.

You were honestly better off getting an OG Xbox for those games anyway, I tried to use the backwards compatibility on my 360 and only a handful of games work,and an even smaller percentage of that small subset works actually good. Lots of games are just outright broken on it. It’s also super laggy

The bean box! Editing is much better,and your journey for old box is cool to see ^^ Also love art you made for ppl around, old papa raptor or chameleon clerk lol xD

This video gives me nostalgia for when I was younger and bought my first like non current retro console (it was an N64). Was super enjoyable to discover old hardware and stuff! Have fun !

i dunno if you've been told this in the past im pretty sure you have i didnt do a big check of the comment lol, you should probally open up that xbox and remove the clock compactor before the clock compactor leaks and causes problems inside the console itself

I personally bought myself an OG Xbox when i started college, and its no joke my favorite console to play on. And this is coming from someone who just bought a refurbished PS2. I love Silent Hill 3 and Deus Ex to death, but they aren't Morrowind.

Lovely Video! Was a very nice watch, hope your Spyro game was fun! :D

Beautiful video, cool that the save was from 01/12/2002. Xbox came out 11/15/2001 so that guy must've got it for Christmas and played spyro when it first came out, absolutely crazy where the time goes lmao. Keep it up!

Hooking Up rca cables to e Vesa wall mount must be the werdest thing in a Long Time.

Some great games to play on the OG Xbox are: Psi-Ops The Mindgate Conspiracy, Ninja Gaiden/Ninja Gaiden Black, Knights of the Old Republic, I heard Jet Set Radio Future music in your video so I guess you know about JSRF, Ultimate Spider-Man, Spider-Man 2, Sudeki, Fable, Jade Empire, Bloodrayne, Bloodrayne 2, Silent Hill 4 The Room, The Chronicles of Riddick, Enter the Matrix, The Prince of Persia games, Dead or Alive Ultimate, Thief Deadly Shadows, The Suffering. Hope this helps you.

Made me chuckle, good video 👍🏻

Thankfully I lucked on with the original Xbox. I once found that console at a local Charity Shop here in Australia. It had no controllers, but it did have the power cord and AV cable with it. What really sealed the deal was its price. It only cost $8AU! I checked it out upon bringing it home, and it worked perfectly. So I was lucky to find it for a low price!

As a 25 year old, this brings back so many memories. I remember being 4-5 years old and my Dad brought home the original Xbox. I remember sneaking around playing Halo when I wasn’t allowed to. They had a ton of great games and it was fun coming home from school and playing with friends and family. Good times. 😊

How in the god damned hell did you have a 360 without a fudging harddrive,,,,

I had a Gamecube and later a PS2 during this generation, but my neighbour had an Xbox and I was so jealous. It was an absolute beast of a machine for the time. Playing Halo online was a world altering experience for someone who grew up with terribly slow dial up internet. Enjoy the console man, there's a lot of great games for it and the homebrew scene is next level.

Good video! The Original Xbox is such a wonderful and unique console and one of the ones I've personally put the most time into. It has a lot of great exclusives and, for most cross platform games, the best version of said games. Definitely consider modding it too as it's an emulation powerhouse and has lots of good homebrew applications!

Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth is like over $100 now. shits crazy

I love how i was looking at several og xboxs on ebay and this poped up I haven’t had one sense 2005 😂 that and those component cables make a difference that or the pound hdmi og xbox cable

I do want to own one, in fact i would want ANY kind of an Xbox (cause i dont have a console and I REALLY want one)

I was born in 2001. I got my OG Xbox in 2006 with Fable, Halo 1 & 2. Watching this brought me so much nostalgia lmao. I really sometimes miss that nuclear weapon of a console. Hope you enjoy it! Mine is still (somehow) working even in 2024.

Get Component cables for them. It'll really bring your experience to the next level.

Fun video. All that to play an old game. Well, hopefully you're gonna have a few more adventures now that you got the og Xbox. Here's a few suggestions: - Get your friend that also has an Xbox, get a network switch, and connect the two Xboxes to play some multi-player games. - go on a search for some games, and make a video about it. The original Xbox has a ton of interesting games, many of which aren't really talked about. - Mod your Xbox. It opens up a whole new world. Emulators, online gaming, custom themes, copying your games to the hard drive, XBMC, etc. Have fun!

21:12 this made me feel funny

Get it fixed because there is a battery inside that will eventually destroy it so i would remove it because it probally is fixing to or has exploded and is corroding the inside

I grew up with the OG Xbox, my first game was Halo CE with my dad. It's a dream of mine to own one with as many of my childhood classics I can find

Hi, I enjoyed your video, I’m 44 and I had the OG XBox when it came out, you made me remember the times I played it with my little nephew, Halo was my favorite game, I recommend you to find the Star Wars Starfighter (the one with the Naboo yellow fighter), Dead or Alive 3, The Simpsons, Hit & Run, Max Payne, Medal of Honor. Make some videos if you play them. Greetings from Germany

I was surprised this was the first video you made of this type. The storytelling and drawings were neat. I grew up with an XBOX, so it was neat seeing someone younger than me try it out for the first time. Halo gets all the attention, but the original XBOX has a pretty underrated library, with some of the best third party offerings as well as a surprising amount of unique and weird games. It helps that the games are pretty cheap to collect for, so even the more expensive titles aren't going to put a big dent in your wallet compared to other consoles. Definitely curious on seeing what else you get for the system!

Great video, keep up the great content. The og Xbox is one of my favorite consoles. I got a refurbished one couple years ago and have been collecting for it, the games are not too expensive.

please take note did you open it up there’s a capacitor that can leak I don’t remember what it’s called but I had an original Xbox and it the capacitor was leaking

I had a very similar experience recently with an Xbox 360 I bought just to play some 360 games that are not compatible with the newer console and to play some og Xbox games and I go informed well before buying everything, bought the storage device the console, games and everything and for some reason the console doesn’t want to play any of my og Xbox games that are compatible with the 360 so I was half satisfied since at least I could play the 360 games but I am very disappointed that I cannot play the og Xbox game even if they are backwards compatible, and I’ll probably will have to buy the og Xbox from somewhere since I have a lot of games I want to play from that generation, but nice video man

The OG xbox actually has alot to offer, great exclusives, it's pretty affordable to collect for, mod capabilies are awesome too. Jsrf, doa2 and 3 and the halo games are personal favorites

Was the thumbsticks fine left and right and the trigger on the controller and the buttons too ?

Years ago, my mom asked was scrolling through Craigslist to find my 5 year old brother a console. She found an OG Xbox for $25 USD and asked me if it was a good deal or even worth it for how old it was (this was PS3/360 era). I told her to buy it as it wouldn’t hurt for $25 and maybe even I could enjoy some old games from my childhood. So we both decide to actually go pick it up and we pull in to a pretty rundown trailer park. We get to this ladies trailer with her and her 4 kids running around so I was like “it’s probably drawn on or doesn’t work but hey we’re already here so let’s do it.” Got everything packed up, got in the car and made our way home. I decided to set it up for my little brother and I go to power it on…. It shows an Xmenu that looks like the 360 dashboard. I was stumped for 5 seconds until I scrolled to the games and saw N64 emulator, PS2/Xbox and a ton of other stuff! We hit the holy grail on a modded OG Xbox. Me and my older cousin obviously kept it for ourselves and spent the next few weeks grinding Marvel vs Capcom 2.

Seeing this in my reccomended then watching it and seeing the livestream next to it in the reccomended videos was so funny lol, also I havent yet got a chance to play it but SSX tricky is a good one to get from what ive seen, also star wars revenge of the sith is a fun one, and if youre looking for a funny game to add to your collection, 50 Cent Bulletproof

I remember watching this video when it came out about a month or so when it released. Now here it is 10 months old and now I own an original Xbox for $10 crazy how that can be

Conker Live and reloaded of course

sound like you have a cool adventure.

Definitely a Spyro the dragon: A new begining for the original xbox moment.

OG Xbox + Halo CE & 2 is a goated combo

Bro you BETTER get a copy of the Simpson Hit & Run. That game is the fucking GOAT

I'll always think of the OG xbox as the greatest console. Especially as a pc gamer, who remembers the xbox being amazing for modding, on top of having an epic library of games, nothing else is as good. I'd definitely recommend Fusion Frenzy, Fable, Sega Gt 2002 and Jet Set Radio Future. GTA Vice city was better on xbox than anything else too. What a great console.

Knights of the Old Republic and OG Fable were great.

Be careful, don't turn into the Scott The Woz of original Xboxes and get 9 more

As a 28 year old, the Xbox was my go to for gaming and still is to this day, vastly preferring it over my Xbox one S, even modded and hacked mine to be more modern and region free. During this time, you'll notice a lot of mascot games, you're already familiar with Spyro and Crash. I'd recommend Blinx the time sweeper, Conker's live and reloaded, and Voodoo Vince for platformers. For oddball games, I'd recommend Jade Empire, Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic, Metal Wolf Chaos (though you'd have to jump through a bunch of hoops for it since it's a Japanese only game, but it is Meme gold), The Thing, Apex (if you're into racing games, and Auto Modelista (simply because of its charm.

I absolutely love the commentary throughout this video, you are so damn funny. Allllll this for Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning Also, always validating to come across a fellow artist with insomnia 😅

Fun fact this hard drive you bought you can repurpose it into your internal storage on your pc since it’s just a standard sata plug (I guess since I never bought one myself)

highly recommend upgrading to component cables if possible you gotta check out Halo & Morrowind

One of the best things with the Original Xbox is that most of the multiplatform games are their very best on there. Best graphics, resolution (Some games up to 1080i) and performance. If you got an Original Xbox then why not buy versions of games for that? Only games that I recommend you get GameCube versions are Sonic Heroes, Mega Collection (For superior presentation), Riders, Shadow the Hedgehog and Pac-Man World 2 (Too much screen tearing on Xbox). Graphics and performance always matter.

You’re excitement for the original Xbox brings me joy 😄

Born in 2006? Goddamn i have cheese in the Back of my fridge thats older. 😉

I still have my original Xbox and its still my favorite conceal

Wether you like the movie or not Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon on O.G Xbox and the game "Gun" are underrated masterpieces.

Remove the clock capacitor by the sounds of it, it has already burst where you already had to reset the time upon first boot up its a known issue with the og Xbox.

I was gonna get a PS2 but remembered I've owned & sold them back to back but never a OG Xbox, plus I see how cheap the console & games are that I could play on PS2 & Gamecube

I’ve been collecting for the original Xbox for the summer, and I’ve gotten an addiction to it. So far I’m at about 100 games, and I’m loving it. I’ve got some nostalgia for that console, since my dad had it when I was little, and I remember getting scared by the startup screen. OG Xbox games to recommend is obviously the Halo series. But I think you’d enjoy playing something like BLINX the Timesweeper, or Voodoo Vince. Also, the Duke Xbox controller is GOATED, that old guys wrong. Small controller for small pp.

When you buy an aftermarket hard drive, it doesn’t come with the 3 partitions that’s required for 360s. You need to get hdd hacker, xplorer 360, download partition 2(this contains the og Xbox emulator) a 1-4gb flash drive, and an old computer. The process can be a pain, I just went thru it all myself a few days ago but you can get that 250gb hard drive to work just fine. When I first got my hard drive it instantly gave me a red ring of death and now it works just fine.

fun video :D youtube recommended delivers once again

I used to play this back in 2010 and this was the first console i played in my life

Hey bro, glad that you didn't buy that 3rd party controller, because it doesn't register the input well, feels light and cheap. I bought two pieces before, but at the end I just buying the another new Old Stock third party controller from local game store, which performs better than that previous crappy controller that I bought

I’m 5 years older than you. Your surprise when the hooked up av cables made feel old as a man who grew up with a ps2 and GameCube.

Year one OG Xbox owner here 27 years old, yes I bought it when I was 6 with my own allowance. Low key though the Cat in the Hat games actually freaking good you should play it.

Also you Should Get Godzilla destroy All Monsters Melee & STE, Both of them are Really good

As someone who owns a Gamecube I'm actually quite familiar with the plugs that came with the original Xbox. Initially my Gamecube came with an Xbox 360 HDMI adapter, but then it broke. But because both the sony TV I used to play it on as well as the TV I use in my room now has compatibility with these wires, the Gamecube still worked. Why did I get a Gamecube you may ask.... I wanted to give Shadow The Hedgehog a go..

I’m 32. I got an Xbox for my 13th birthday in May 2004. Seeing you struggle with composite cables and kinda assume optical media can store user created data made me smile.

Really good video on the OG Xbox! 😄👍 P.s. I also thought the Xbox logo on the controller was a button. 😆😅

my original xbox had a random sports game in there too

being from 2001 and growing up with the ps2 because it was cheaper than the ps3 and xbox 360 in 2007, you talking about AV cables as ancient technology made me feel old.

I have that console too

Try Halo: Combat Evolved with your friend! It has a split screen multiplayer mode where u r dropped into a map and then u shoot each other. It has up to 4 players I belive and its so much fun! 😊

My recommendations are halo combat evolved, cod 2 big red one, house of the dead 3, Conner’s live and reloaded, timesplitters future perfect, and timesplitters 2, simpsons hit and run. and simpsons road rage, house of the dead 3, and Xlll

I bought one online recently, had one when I was a kid but sold it to Gamestop, cause that was the thing to do back then I guess and even though I have a Series X and a Gaming PC its a nice piece for my gaming room.

The Xbox was ok I wasn’t crazy this one but when I played it it was goodish

As a 24 years old who was born in 99. When you said "old people" I felt offended. And now that I think about it, what are people who were born in the early 90's or late 80's? Fossils? Sarcasm aside, you need to get Halos 1 - 2 on the og xbox. Those games defined my childhood growing up in the early 2000's. And please get Simpsons hit & Run. It's basically gta for kids, but holy shit is that game so fun to play. I would like more content from you, if you want to upload that is.

The original xbox is a fantastic console. Easily my favourite console of all time. Microsoft was all in on new ips and taking risks. They ended up losing tons of money on the system, but it helped set them up for the 360.

blinx is a must play

As a 50 year old I have loads of fun with my OG XBOX which I bought brand new when it first came out and a few years ago I got it modded with over 35,000 games...so fun and more fun for another 50 and probably more if God will it. Enjoy mate. Good times. I quote enjoyed this. Legend

Hey I'm a Huge Fan of the Legend of spyro trilogy and I Too have an OG Xbox. My Favorite games for that are Predator Concrete Jungle, Unreal CHampionship 1 and 2, Godzilla DAMM and Save the earth, Peter Jackson's King Kong, MK Deception and Armageddon

As a 43 year old......😅😅Just setup my original xbox I brought 20 years ago, set it up all excited and can't find the controllers...
