Microsoft Xbox Original Console (Xbox)

I got a Xbox around two weeks ago, when my old one broke. I got it for £18.99 in CEX in Lisburn. When I bought it I got two more games to my Xbox Original collection, I got Tony Hawks Underground two for £2.50 and I got Halo for £1.00! So the games are cheap for the console. I also bought another controller for £3.00.

In the Box...
I only got a Cardboard box with the console but in it there was Composite, RCA cables, Ethernet cable, Xbox Original console, Xbox Original Controller and Manuals.

The Console...
The Xbox console has four controller ports on the front, A disc tray, Power on/off button, Eject button. On the back of the Xbox Console there is a Ethernet port, Video out port and the Power port. On the top of the console there is a X in black and in the middle there is a logo in a Green circle "Xbox". When you turn on the console you can Play the game, Listen to Music, Go on Xbox Live and Set your settings. There is also Windows Media Centre on the Xbox Original when you connect it to the internet via Ethernet cable. You can connect it to the internet two ways Plug the Ethernet cable into a Laptop or a Computer or Plug the Ethernet cable into the back of a modem.

Overall
The game play on the Xbox is the same as Sony's PlayStation 2. The only disadvantage to it is that it doesn't have USB 2.0 ports! But overall the best console out off the PS1 and PS2! The gameplay also is excellent, the graphics are not the best but there good! Overall 4/5 in Old Consoles! It only costs around £15 to £20 too.

Summary: Excellent console
