Inky Posted March 23, 2005 Posted March 23, 2005 where are you getting used xboxes for 60 bucks? they are twice that around here.
GLiTcH Posted March 23, 2005 Posted March 23, 2005 where are you getting used xboxes for 60 bucks? they are twice that around here.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>try a pawn shop, i got my second one for Live for 80 but came with two S controllers, going to get another for my nephew.. same price..
Daeval Posted March 24, 2005 Author Posted March 24, 2005 Ok, so the gist I'm getting here is that an XBox is cool for its aftermarket mods. As far as games go, it doesn't really have much on its competition. However, you can easily turn it into an inexpensive "pirate playback box" - essentially a movies, music, and emulation PC with the inherent ability to pirate xbox games. This probably isn't the mainstream draw of the system, but it seems to be the #1 reason that members of the nerd elite have taken to it. So now I'm wondering:If Micro$oft is successful in making piracy more difficult on the XBox2, will the new system have the same hardcore appeal?

Agozer Posted March 24, 2005 Posted March 24, 2005 So now I'm wondering:If Micro$oft is successful in making piracy more difficult on the XBox2, will the new system have the same hardcore appeal?That's an excellent question. It'll probably sell like hotcakes in the US regardless.
Bluestinger X Posted March 24, 2005 Posted March 24, 2005 well the xbox unmodded is worth it as well.. theres tons of good multiplayer games. If u love online console gaming then theres nothing better then xbox live...
zero5 Posted March 24, 2005 Posted March 24, 2005 first I had a ps2 and then i saw my mates xbox play all the classic games but that didn't push me enuff. Once i saw media player got to get that sucker. I have 2 in the house probably get a 3rd

I'm just curious about the "hobbyist" aspect that may be lost with the next generation. No console, that I know of, has ever had that particular kind of attention, and I'm curious what will come of it with the next gen. Bear in mind that I'm not trying to doomsay the xb2, it's going to sell no matter what, I'm just curious about this aspect.
