yeah, my xbox is like the original one. it actually is the 5th one to have been made for selling purposes, and still works. jk, it really doesn't work that well at all. i've had it for 4 and a half years, and its run fine most of the time, although i have had to clean it several times. i did it again yesterday and doom3 started to work again, and so did one of the oxm cd's i got, but bhd still doesn't work. i'll just return it...im just waiting for the 360 to come out. still, i feel like i'm the only person who hasn't bought a 2nd xbox in my time owning one. everyone i know and talked to has either gotten a second one, brought the first one in for repairs and upgrades, etc. and mine still works for just about everything...except bhd. maybe it wasn't meant to be.
