Is the 360 your first Xbox?

[Ze_ro]

According to this article, Microsoft believes that over half of their Xbox 360 sales are to people who didn't buy an original Xbox. So, I figured I'd take the question to the masses... Is the 360 your first Xbox?

 

I myself did not have an Xbox until I bought my 360.

Technically, my 360 is my 2nd Xbox. I bought a modded original Xbox with a 160 gig hard drive in October to give to my kids for Christmas. I was going to stay out of next-gen until next Christmas. But Micro Center was running that $100 rebate on the 360 and since I had some extra money I didn't know I would be getting, I bought it. I still have the modded Xbox, but we haven't really played it much due to spending too much time on the 360.

Bought both at launch.

I never bought an Xbox, but was given one a couple years ago. I barely played it, as I had too many PS2 games.

Nope, I have a launch Xbox, and a second purchased later. One of the best consoles of all time.

If you consider all of them Xbox's.. then it's probably my 11th or so. I have scored three 360's (only currently own 1 though.. gave away 2) and I can't count how many Xbox's I've gone through. I currently own approximately 7

[Lord Helmet]

Nope. Bought the original about a year after launch.

[jay2068]

Have two xbox 1's and 1 xbox 360.

 

My PS2 took a dump and never replaced it.

[Hyper_Eye]

I have a V1 XBox. Great console.

[dalton4life]

Nope. I bought my 1st Xbox 2 months before 360 launched and bought a 360 2 month after it launched. I was long time PS2 owner with Ninja Gaiden envy.

Xbox at Launch, too numerous to count how many Xbox's have come and gone, currently have 3 hooked up. 360 at Launch, in April the boy will be getting one for his birthday, and when Halo 3 comes out the third will be purchased.

I was a bigtime XBOX skeptic, choosing the Cube at launch time because I thought that would have what I wanted. When Jet Set Radio Future came out, I bucked, and the big black box soon became my console of choice for the next four years.

 

The XBOX 360 is my 2nd XBOX system.

 

Soon after I bought the 360, I snagged a 2ndhand oldtime XBOX and upgraded it with a leopard skin sticker set, 200GB hard drive, XBOX Media Center as the default dashboard, dozens of emulators, and a little bit of homebrew. It's nice to be able to use the XBOX as a game jukebox.

 

I have all 3 hooked up still, but the black XBOX is getting less and less play as more games become backwards compatible on 360.

The 360 isnt my first Xbox but I got my first Xbox around the time the Green Halo version was released.

Starscream hooked me up with one and I was very impressed with it.

The 360 I got in March and it has quickly became one of my favorite consoles.

I got the original Xbox about 1 to 1 1/2 years after it came out and was real impressed. I got my 360 in a month ago. Great systems...

I bought my first Xbox in April 2005, brand new from Meijer. Believe it or not, Psychonauts was the Xbox X-clusive that made me decide to take the plunge. It was silly, surreal, and smartly written, exactly the kind of game I wanted to encourage developers to make. Unfortunately for me, Psychonauts didn't stay an Xbox exclusive for long... and unfortunately for its designers, I must have been the only one on Earth to buy the game at its full price.

 

My second Xbox was procured from a Napoleon Dynamite lookalike standing outside GameStop. They wouldn't take his system because it was flaky and didn't have any controllers, but I didn't care... I bought it from him for $25, which I'm pretty sure he later invested in weed. I took the Xbox home, cleaned it up, and got it working, then gave it to my brother as a Christmas gift. That worked out pretty well until a thunderstorm shocked my brother's box last year, leaving it inoperable.

 

My most recent Xbox acquisition was a used Xbox 360 core unit. Well, it was a core unit when it left the factory... the previous owners added a hard drive and a wireless controller before selling it to a used game store. The Xbox 360 is one of the gems of my console collection, and easily my favorite of the three next-gen systems.

 

I was more than a little angry when Microsoft first announced that it was entering the console market six years ago, but now I'm actually glad they're around to offer a valid alternative to the Playstation, and to hold Sony's feet to the fire.

I have 2 regular Xboxs... One I bought early after release and the other had a drive die and was given to me, so I had it modded.

And I have one 360...

 

Great systems...

[xenomorpher]

I got a regular Xbox about three years ago. I softmodded it last year and did something stupid. After that little incident I bought another Xbox and softmodded it and knew not to do something if I didn't know what it would do. I got a 360 March last year from moycon through Starscream and I have been loving it more and more each day ever since. A couple months ago I bought a cosmetically modded Xbox very cheap for system link games. I'm going to put a chip in my first Xbox to swap the hard drive in order to fix it. This way I will be able to have four system link game matches, mostly Star Wars Battlefront II.

[IronMongeR]

I got an original Xbox probably about a year after its launch, and then the 360 on launch day.

[Lauren Tyler]

Nope, I got an original XBox in 2004. Unfortunately, that day part of the subway line I would've ridden to the Best Buy I got it from was out, so I had to lug it to the next station. I thought I was gonna get a hernia! XD

[Crazy Climber]

Yes I owned an original X box but I was a late bloomer to the system, bought it 2 years ago after the price drop. I also own a 360 that was a gift. I like it a lot but I honestly would not have bought one until a price cut. $400 is just too much for a system in my opinion. I am also I am getting a Wii and never plan on owning a PS3 if that counts for anything in this inquiry
