Once modded with XBMC the original xbox was a great HTPC. I guess it's too bad I gave that one away a long time ago. It could be worth something if I didn't.

>Many of us have a box of old gadgets, random cables, and used batteries gathering dust in the attic. While clearing this out might sound like a chore, it could land with you with a tidy profit. Experts from Protect Your Bubble have scoured eBay listings to find the most valuable retro gaming consoles. Topping the list is the NTSC Limited Holiday Edition Xbox Original, which was just £299 when it was first released in 2001. If you were clever enough to hold on to yours for the last 25 years, it could now be 1,601 per cent more valuable – reaching £5,086 on eBay. According to James Brown, director at Protect Your Bubble, vintage games consoles are shooting up in price thanks to a wave of nostalgia.

True, though some of the people buying the hardware might be working with the original hardware to improve emulators and have community support.

Not the ones buying "limited edition" gear unless there is something special about it but you get what I am saying.

I get what you’re saying…I just imagine most of these fools as redditors reliving childhood excitement of opening the gift from under the Christmas tree and finding exactly what they wanted.

Now, rather than trying to recreate that feeling for their own offspring, they indulge themselves and get that faggoty reddit smile.
