Title: Will You Sell Your Xbox To Get An Xbox 2?
Post by: kingal89 on October 04, 2004, 08:53:00 PM

I think i might have to sell my xbox in order to get an xbox 2. But i really would like to keep it b/c i have alot of stuff on here (xbox). A bunch of apps and games and stuff; not to mention my xenium modchip.

Can you sell modded xboxes on Ebay? Or do they not allow you to do that.

i have no ide ablut the ebay thing sice i never used it (im swedish)
but i think if you use your xbox as a media center you shuldent get rid of your xbox untill they have figured out a way to hack xbox2.

I think it was said somewhere that the xbox2 will use a solid state drive, so you won't be able to upgrade the HD and put all your games/apps on it.

I won't sell my xbox, i always keep my consoles even if they just gather dust.
I'm gonna wait till the prices drop and the modding/hacking becomes more common...

the xbox was actually my first proper console, so i havn't really been able to hold onto any in the past. im pretty sure i will keep it though, especially if theres no backwards compatibility.

I doubt I will sell my xbox because Its basically a Media Center, and I have a whole lot of Roms.  Plus, It looks good. :o

if you don't have the money fir it, just play for xbox at home and xbox 2 at a friends house for a year and get the system for way cheaper, maybe wait two years. i did for xbox and it only cost me 200CAD as opposed to the opening price of 500CAD

What is this offer? I've never heard of it but I'd go out and buy a new Xbox and pay for the option to upgrade

Keeping my xbox...
I will probably wait to see what kind of crazy things the Xbox 2 will be able to do before I jump on one of those.

Well i will keep my xbox since it has all the tools and and roms that i play. Beside i will wait for the xbox 2 to drop in price and get it. I like to wait while the price drops down. I have not gotten rid of my game systems that i bought with my hard working money. Plus my machine has sentimental values so i won't sale it even if they offer me good money for it.

guys...i work at best buy, and have for more than a year...no such offer of an upgrade to xbox2 for 15 bones...total bs...we dont even have any info or release date on new consoles

I would say it doesnt take an employee of best buy...or M$ for that matter to tell that deal is B$  

Even if I was to never play my xbox games again, I would still utilize the xbox to play Roms and eventually stream music.
