I wish my OG Xbox I own now worked better, I won't tell the story of my first one, but the one I got now. It is having disc drive problems, and well I at least played Driver 3 on it lol. I wanted to give that game a shot. But it would just hard freeze during Madden '08. Sucks. The first one I had it was perfect. This one now I have to actually do the slam hard on the top of the console to get the disc drive to eject the tray.
Man, the original xboxs were notorious for having multiple problems that can screw you over. Its a damn shame too because the og xbox was easily my second most played console of it's generation and I still own majority of my og xbox games (with most of them not being BC).
My first xbox had one of those thompson disc drives and that one eventually crapped out on me (the samsung one was considered the best drive to have. Most of the later xboxes had that drive).

My 2nd xbox up and died because it got struck by lightning via a overnight thunderstorm.
I ended up trading it in to gamestop (who still took it despite it not powering on) towards the xbox 360 when I got it in august 2006 for phantasy star universe+gears of war coming up that november.
.......and man I don't even want to remember the 360 red ring shenanigans.
