still got an original xbox under the main tv with a 2TB drive and all my favourite xbox games and emulated games. Awesome device. Wouldn't mind playing a few upscaled games though on my xbox one.

@Azzanation SNESs are pricey these days.

Too late M$! I rebought an original Xbox for $12 and have been enjoying $4 masterpieces from my local thrift store all spring. The state of modern gaming in 2015 caused a retro revival for me, and I'm happily playing lots of older games on original hardware.

I only buy digital re-releases for systems that look terrible without mods (N64/Atari).

Its great to be able to find working old hardware and to play the old games again. Unfortunately my SNES died and i dont really want to buy another off Ebay. Incase there faulty aswell.

But consider what X1 will do for OG Xbox games. Improved resolution, better performance, record clips, streaming, etc. My concern is will support be strong and can I use my old discs.
