Games save straight to it, and many used it to cache data for shorter load times. The dashboard can also copy audio CDs to the drive, and games such as Project Gotham Racing let you race to your own ripped soundtrack. Memory units exist for carrying saves to a friend's house, but you do not need one to play. Four controller ports on the front make split-screen nights easy without extra adapters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c!-- rgm:story --\u003e\u003csection class=\"rgm-v2-story\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHalo, Ninja Gaiden and system link\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHalo: Combat Evolved made the Xbox, and its system link mode still works today. Connect consoles with a system link cable or a network switch and up to 16 players can fight on Blood Gulch across four Xboxes. Beyond Halo, the library runs from Ninja Gaiden Black and Jet Set Radio Future to Splinter Cell and Panzer Dragoon Orta. The original Xbox Live service shut down in 2010, so online play is gone, but local multiplayer and system link never relied on it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c!-- rgm:story --\u003e\u003csection class=\"rgm-v2-story\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBuying a used original Xbox\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DVD drive is the part to watch. Microsoft used drives from different makers over the console's life, and a tired drive may hesitate on scratched discs. The tray should open smoothly and the console should boot to the dashboard. The Xbox uses its own AV cable and a standard power cord, and it needs an Xbox controller to operate. DVD movie playback requires the separate DVD Playback Kit. Controllers, cables and accessories vary by unit and come only if the listing says so.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c!-- rgm:details --\u003e\u003csection class=\"rgm-v2-facts\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct facts\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eHardware\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOriginal Xbox console\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePlatform\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eXbox\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eType\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHome console\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePlays\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOriginal Xbox game discs and audio CDs, DVD movies with the separate DVD Playback Kit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eConnections\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNeeds an Xbox AV cable, power cord and Xbox controller\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eStorage\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBuilt-in hard drive for game saves\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eRelease\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2001 (US launch)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"rgm-v2-faq\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about this item\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eDoes the original Xbox play Xbox 360 games?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The original Xbox only plays original Xbox games. It works the other way around for some titles, since the Xbox 360 and later Xbox consoles can run a selected list of original Xbox games, but this console cannot read Xbox 360 discs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eWhat is included with the console?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe listing is for the Xbox console itself.

The original Xbox Live service ended in April 2010.
