The Xbox is a home video game console manufactured by Microsoft that is the first installment in the Xbox series of video game consoles. It was released as Microsoft's first foray into the gaming console market on November 15, 2001, in North America, followed by Australia, Europe and Japan in 2002.

It is classified as a sixth-generation console, competing with Sony's PlayStation 2, Sega's Dreamcast and Nintendo's GameCube. It was also the first major console produced by an American company since the release of the Atari Jaguar in 1993.

There is nothing like reliving your childhood and what better way to do it than with an original Xbox fully restored and upgraded to your exact desired specification.

For years we have repaired and restored consoles and computers. We love restoring consoles and getting them back into the hands of those who enjoy them. The only law for the Xbox is you much purchase Halo and complete the campaign on Legendary!

Basics

The Xbox as standard will come fully cleaned, restored, new thermal paste, new power/clock capacitors and an operational DVD drive, hard drive and stock dashboard. From there you can choose your power supply, controller configuration and any upgrades you would like.

Power Input

Select your desired power supply input. For UK it is 230V, for US it is 110V for example. Simply choose your countries mains voltage.

Controllers

You can choose to have no controllers if you already have some, or you can have original controllers or an adapter to use modern controllers.

The original Dukes will be used originals, so they will have wear and tear. We try to provide the best quality ones available but do expect them to be used.

The OGX360 USB adapter on the other hand plugs into the controller port and allows you to then use most game pad controllers via USB cable (such as Xbox 360/One/Series and PS3/4/5 etc...) as well as any wireless controller that supports 8bitdo as this also comes with a USB to 8bitdo adapter. On short, this allows you to use modern controllers from pretty much any console with your Xbox Original.

BIOS

The Xbox original comes as default with its stock Microsoft dashboard. If you prefer to have a custom BIOS, we offer Cerbios. This allows you to upgrade your hard drive and have custom dashboards plus more.

Video Output

The video output options are composite (yellow, red, white RCA) typical in older TVs and CRTs (and very blurry!) or a HDMI adapter.

The HDMI adapter plugs into the back of the console, tells the console to output high quality RGB and converts this to HDMI. This gives a much better output image quality and works on all modern TVs.

Hard Drive

The original Xbox came with an 8GB mechanical hard drive. These are very old now and don't have much lifespan left in them. We recommend if you plan to do some serious gaming to upgrade to a modern SSD.
