Getting a 360 for OG Xbox games worth it?

there's a component cable set as well.

A bit finnicky with modern TVs for that.

Component cable is definitely worth it for PS2, though.

But he wants to use it on a crt.

But he wants to use it on a crt.

He could use both (component, composite or even scart if he's in Europe..), depending on the tv, it might have just composite, composite + component, or composite + scart (EU).

Whatever the best option would be a classic xbox anyway... just for the sake of compatibility

And if he gets one he should definitely mod it (to remove DVD/HDD checks etc.)

there are actually quite a few more that work on the 360 than I thought. I thought it was 100-200, but it's around half actually.

I was hoping mega man anniversary collection and eternal sonata worked for the series x, but neither does. there's not a whole lot of xbox original games I care about, but mmac is good with its remixed music. I have a ps2 for most everything else aside from some of the exclusives. I know the halo games are on the series x, like the master chief collection. I think all of the games work, though I'm sure that was like the first game they made bc. lol

Just an Xbox.

It's like calling PlayStation as PS1. Nothing wrong with either of those two terms (although I prefer just to call it Xbox since it's the name originally given).

Modding an Xbox is a pretty easy task, isn't it? Think it was before.

Buying already done is just for convenience.

Even the games that are on the official backwards compatibility list have substantial issues with crashes, stuttering, and low framerate. I would recommend the author of a thread to simply purchase an orginal Xbox.

Not I. I'd suggest getting a series s or x.
