jetset Posted March 14, 2003 Share Posted March 14, 2003 Well I did it! Just bought a load from ebay! I got a 2600 with the hookups, 2 joysticks, 4 paddles, 2 touch pads (for Star Raiders) 2 coleco-vision looking controllers and 77 games (no dupes either!) ! I probably paid a little too much but I'm excited! Now all I gotta do is figure out where to move the Xbox to! (And how to explain it to the wife Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad2600 Posted March 14, 2003 Share Posted March 14, 2003 Put some legs on the XBOX and it'll look like a piece of art. Either that or use it as a stepladder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeybastard Posted March 14, 2003 Share Posted March 14, 2003 Sell the Xbox to buy more VCS games. Once you hook up Stella that Xbox will start t collect dust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy_Dude Posted March 14, 2003 Share Posted March 14, 2003 Move it to the Attic or basement. NEVER sell a console, you WILL regret it (even an Xbox ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Mitchell Posted March 14, 2003 Share Posted March 14, 2003 Move it to the Attic or basement. NEVER sell a console, you WILL regret it (even an Xbox ) Naah! Sell it now! You'll find lots of Xbox stuff at discount prices in thrift stores in about 2-3 years! I sold my 2600 with 20 carts for $300 in 1983. Sold my Atari 800 for $300 in 1983. That $600 went a long way back in 1983! Rob Mitchell, Atlanta, GA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetset Posted March 14, 2003 Author Share Posted March 14, 2003 Ouch! I didnt know there were so many xbox haters here!

Godzilla Posted March 14, 2003 Share Posted March 14, 2003 why do you hate it? the xbox makes a great 2600 :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetset Posted March 14, 2003 Author Share Posted March 14, 2003 How *is* the 2600 emulation on the xbox anyway? Is it as piss-poor as on the Dreamcast? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godzilla Posted March 14, 2003 Share Posted March 14, 2003 not at all, its pretty spot on, about as good as on a pc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetset Posted March 15, 2003 Author Share Posted March 15, 2003 Ahh..nothing like the real thing. I bought a Dreamcast just for the emulation. What a disappointment. Oh well. I should have just gotten a 2600 from the start. The $30 bucks could have bought a few games. LIVE AND LEARN! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
