After modding the xbox and doing to it for money I began to hate it so I will be getting rid of all my xbox memoribillia and going to  360 stuff sorry but the xbox is ancient and 360 is where its at

Even if I get a 360, I will still use XBMC or turn my Xbox's into Linux web servers.

i would have to agree, i havent touch my xbox since i got the 360. all my love goes to my new baby.

I'm still using mine. Mostly as a media player, but my daughter is still playing the barbie horse game on it too Its on a different tv anyhow

Indefnite usage - until the sucker burns out! I still use my 1.0 xbox with few issues. And as I even still have the good 'ol Atari 2600 in my room, I forsee the xbox getting a lot of usage for years to come. It does everything I could ever want it to do, plus more. It's all about the amazing homebrew - ports (Q2 especially for me), emulators, XBMC, and the miscellaneous homebrew games that add to my current library of games. I can't get enough of what I have, so there's no point in switching for me.

Even if I fall in and buy the new one, it doesn't mean the old one would completely be unused. There's always good use of hardware!

I love my xbox way too much to stop using it. After all the time, money and love spent modding it I dont see myself letting it gather dust anytime soon. Although the 360s graphics are better (and thats basically the only thing it has against a current modded box) its just not worth the money at the moment. Im looking forward to buying the cheap as hell trade-ins after xmas when people start to get rid of their old boxs in exchange for the 360. I'll be buying a couple to turn into media centres and just to do some creative and fun modding!. Like everyone else has been saying you just cant beat XBMC!. Oh yeah and why would i want to buy a console I have to actually buy games for...ahem....
I look forward to a modded 360 with XBMC athough no doubt thats far far away at the moment.

yea, like that one guys said... Make good use of hardware

Old hard drives are still just as usable as new ones

I still have a Computer with a Baby-ATX mother board in it... no Network card... and a cheap-as-free Soundcard... and It's still treatin me pretty good
except... I need to fix up the stinkin BIOS so it can boot from CD...

but back to the topic...

Xbox360's just don't have alot of functionality compared to a modded Xbox... compared to an unmodded Xbox there's alot there that wasn't before
and so far I'm the only person in school that i know of that has a modded Xbox.
In the end it's the functionality that sells the console

Xbox360's don't just have better graphics... they have alot more Go juice under the hood....
that one game about killing zombies... not sure what it's called... yea, there's a fuck load of stuff happening on screen and It still seems to run smoothly... that to me is pretty dang impressive.

and also the fact that you can play your own music while you play any game... that suggests that there's more than one process going on at a time.
as compared to the original XBox that has only one at a time, which was one of the biggest disappointments to me... pretty big problem

so far I can safely say that my Xbox has more functionality than the xbox360

When the 360 gets modded... It might be pretty tough to code crap for it with the kinda processor it uses..
But when crap gets coded... okay, picture this: you're play PDZ and get killed to crap by bots... thats not to fun s you deside that you're best inbred friend in the whole wide state of Texas would be a better oponent. Press the xbox360 button and what should pop up? THE 360 MENU!!...ha, no!... the XBMC or whatever dash menu you've installed!!!
BAM! go to the XLINK tab and click some options, select the game and enter the chat room... talk to your buddy... play the game

it will be possible that for the average user, you wont ever need to use Xboxlive to play online ever again...
one of the main things that Xbox live had over Xlink and other tunneling services was the fact that it was hook it up n' go... but if the Xbox360 gets cracked soon... and It's as easy to code for as it was with the Xbox, we can see some great things

trainers... video recorders so you can record you playing a game... better tunneling services... the list will go on

I also hope that M$ wont play stupid and actually use it's beautiful machine for something other than crappy games like the original Xbox... They were on the right track when they released Kareoke game... but they stopped... idiots...

this is getting WAY too long so I'm going to shut up now, I'm sorry for the time I have wasted

If you care about nothing but playing the latest and greatest games then you are correct that the original XBOX
is ancient, however I think most of us have pointed out several times that there are SOO many other ways in which the original modded XBOX is FAR superior.  I'm not saying the 360 won't ever attain the level that the current XBOX does in terms of it's capabilities.  I'm sure that it will surpass the original XBOX but it won't be for another couple of years.  I still say you won't find another media player that even comes close to a modded original XBOX for the amount of money spent, I believe you will regret your decision to get rid of it.  Take a break from doing it as a source of income and actually spend some time going back through the emulators/media player, ect.  and I think you will realize that it would be a mistake to get rid of it at this point.

I still don't have a 360 and probably won't until the current issues are resolved, and we've at least figured out how to upgrade the hard drive.

The 360 will then probably replace my Xbox for DVD watching (which the Xbox doesn't even do anymore thanks to a damaged old Thompson) and for new games, but the Xbox will stick around at least until XBMC and the major emulators are running on the 360.

                  D0/\/t d0 drug$, yes the original xbox is very usefull for media still

[NYCXBOX]

As long as XBMC keeps getting better and better and nothing else comes along that is better than XBMC I will use my Xbox till media center becomes obsolete which I dont see hapening for along time.

[radio5]

Not only is my xbox a virtual museum of electronic gaming up until this point, but it also holds great sentimental value for me as it holds all my favorite movies, shows, cartoons, and albums that I've loved since I was a kid. It is the ultimate media center. Anywhere I take it, I'm home. I don't think I will ever retire it.

[Phoenix.Socom]

Im not touching the 360 till it works as reliable as the Original Xbox and until it is modded.
But I will never throw out my Xbox.

[NerdENerd]

I am not going to buy an Xbox 360 until it can run Xbox Media Center.
Pretty much the only thing I use my Xbox for, a few games get played every now and then but it gets used every day with Xbox Media Center.
Heaps of my friends have seen what Xbox Media Center can do and have run out and buy an Xbox just so they can get Xbox Media Center. The functionality is well worth the price of an Xbox.
The day I read that they have got Xbox media Center running on a 360 is the day I will consider buying one.

[anttimonty]

I'm not going to buy an X360 until it can be modded and after that I won't be using it until it can run XBMC
