Hello, all,
Even with all the publicity surrounding the 360, I'm not crazy about dropping $400+ on a console yet, and the original is of course, much cheaper. Don't get me wrong..the 360 is tempting as hell to get and some awesome games I would love to play. If I do get the original, which seems will be the course of action, I'm wondering if this is a good console to get used, especially on Ebay? I also hear that the Samsung drive is much better than the Thompson drive, which I'm assuming was in many of the first models released.
It also appears many of the big stores (Wal Mart, Target, Etc) never have the original in stock anymore. I don't know if this is a sign that the XBOX is being phased out and it's all 360 now, or there is still a demand for the original? Yeah..I know I'm a few years late, but I've only had my own consoles for 4 years now, and just got a PS2 last year. Thanks for your thoughts in advance!
