Do you still own an original Xbox? Is it no longer under warranty? Tough cookies, then, as Microsoft has announced that no-longer-under-warranty original Xboxes can no longer be serviced. If your Xbox is still under warranty, then there’s nothing to worry about.
There’s also another caveat: support documents—instruction manuals and the like—will henceforth be made available online.
Yeah, this is hardly worth the mention—who still regularly plays the original Xbox; I’d sooner play the SNES!—, but y’all should be outside playing in the [hopefully] last snowstorm of the season.
Also, you know what was good about the original Xbox? It was solid as a rock, from what I recall. ::coughs::
XBMC is the only reason to have ever used one IMO.
Oh noes! So the one I just bought on ebay and soft-modded so I can play snes during the last snowstorm of the season is now unserviceable!?
Damn you, Microsoft! Damn you all to hell!
Indeed. Mine has a 120GB in it filled with goodies and still has much play as the other next gens. My Virgin HALO XBOX still gets love too. Too each his own.
1. This is super-old news… probably just a way for yet another anti-Microsoft rant by the infamous Deleon
2. Most people I know that own an original Xbox bought it for it’s mod abilities… warranty already out the door years ago.
3. You can throw a cheap 500GB in that bad boy and run almost any emulator you can think of as well as XBMC (one helluva media player). Let’s see a PS2 do that!
omg… what’s the point of this stupid rant? is sony doing so poorly, that you’ve stooped to making fun of a console that has been long replaced years ago? why do you still have a job here? you have no writing skills or intelligence whatsoever.
