The Original Xbox
I had played Halo and Halo 2 at LAN parties when they came out, I liked it but that same person also had Metal Gear Solid 3. More of my friends had Ps2s as opposed to the Xbox so naturally I gained more knowledge about ps2 games and ultimately purchased that instead.
Although the ps2 is incredible I was missing out on some good Xbox titles. So far I'm enjoying Fable, Halo and Halo 2, all Xbox exclusives and all great games. It makes older games feel a bit more modern, now I realise how ahead of it's time the controller was, the triggers are just awesome and are what the PS2 lacked. They kept this and the Xbox 360 controller is only slightly changed from the original design. The same can be said for the ps3 controller being that it's the same as the ps2 controller but without the triggers!
The ps3 triggers aren't as good as the one on the xbox, simple as, and we're comparing a current gen console to a last-gen console here. I didn't want the Xbox originally because of it's size and I still don't have any room for it now that I own it. So in a nutshell, like with all of my consoles I couldn't afford/have one back in the day and are now overcompensating, I'm proud to add the original Xbox to my collection.

Games
Boxed console, leads, 2 controllers and 12 games, all for £10. The reason I haven't bought a Xbox was because I only ever saw loose consoles, I barely saw an Xbox console with the hookups.
