    bought a few to put xbmc on and for parts. real bargain for that price especially if you install xbmc and use it as a media centre. they even have the console polished up so it looks like new.

    what exactly can you do with an original xbox? heard of media centre etc

    but like what can you do?

    i have a pc laptop 360 all in one room, watch things from the laptop and pc, or stream them through 360..

    Better in ways, the Xbox Phat plays way more (video) file types than the 360! And it doesn't sound like Heathrow Airport when you're using it!

    I'd be tempted to get this if only to play Beyond Good and Evil – I bought this last year expecting a BC patch to come out for it and it's been gathering dust ever since.

    Some games I'd buy again for this;

    KOTOR
    Hulk
    GTA

    comes with 1 controller alright, i think all mine were new type smaller pads. funny thing is they do not give you a scart block to connect composite wires to.
    maybe thats why thet are selling them cheap:D

    Rang GameStop Cavan. They're selling them for €20 a piece as well. Apparently they have 6 or 7 left in stock as well.

    I just got one in Parkway and 1 in the cresent in Limerick....they're all sold out now!

    Guy behind the counter said that they weren't accepting trade ins of old xbox from customers anymore. They have a certain ammount in the main office that they are selling off. He reckons when they are sold out, they'll be dropping the price of "new" old type xboxes.

    As for me, I'm setting up an xbox with XBMC in every room of the house:)
