Microsoft Xbox - 8 GB Black

This is my favorite console of all time! I bought my first Xbox when it first came out a number of years ago when it first came to market. It is still going strong in my household. I still get good use out of it. The graphics are solid and the controls, in my opinion, are much better than that of PS1&2. Because of the number of buttons that the control offers, it makes gameplay much more involved and sophisticated. Not along the lines of "button smashing" like some many other consoles. Not only did Microsoft make a superb console with lots of power for its day, but it continues to improve on its technology by being the first to release the next generation console, the 360. The original Xbox has so much to offer because of the community supporting its continued development. With numerous websites dedicated to the modification of the harware, it has definitely not gone out of vogue despite the recent cannibalization from the 360 and the upcoming PS3. I get lots of use out of it by taking advantage of these hardware and software improvements spurred on by fans like myself. Today, I use my original XBOX to play old school emulators, listen to my music, and watch DIVX movies. Its the best console ever!
