I like my original XBOX (if i can find the power/AV cords) I had no problems or heard of any flaws back in the day (btw am willing to do anything to softmod the bitch)
Yeah, that thing is a tank. I still use my launch window Xbox almost daily as a media player. Only time it ever gives me a problem is if the modchip comes loose (which, because it's solder free it does maybe once every two years). 5 mins to readjust it and back in business.
