This guy didn't even list the best reasons to have an Xbox back then:

Knights of the Old Republic and Morrowind: Game of the Year Edition

Disagree with the controller, failure rates aside, I thought the 360 gen was the best Xbox offered, but I loved the OG also.

KOTOR was an X-box exclusive video game, dude. It's not a "version" - it's a game.

Morrowind was only out on 1 console: Xbox. It was a PC game. So again, not really a "version".

The two games were not playable on any other console in 2003 other than Xbox.

No, you literally created a topic about Xbox and didn't discuss the entire reason to get one back then.

Then when pressed about it, you said Knights of the Old Republic was a port and a "version" of the game.

The Xbox version of Soul Caliber II can't be the best one, because the Gamecube version literally lets you ride on someone's shoulders and spank them with your sword as Link from The Legend of Zelda.

I just didn't appreciate your response when pressed about it. Would it realy have been so hard to be like "oh yeah I forgot about those reasons as well?"

Instead you give some weird, BS "Well I said best versions of the games" -- which does not even compute or make sense.

It doesnt have the best controller . The White and Black buttons are stupid

Also the console will leak acid and fail due to poor design

I always loved the OG Xboxs infinite memory.

Soooo many CDs ripped on that system.

I also always preferred its original giant controller to the redesign.

Was an excellent media center when modded, too.

The only real gripe I had with it was the same one I have with every Xbox - I do not like the positioning of the pad / left stick on the controller. Yes, I've used both; no, I do not remotely find the Xbox's layout "more natural".

Loved the custom soundtracks in GTA. The custom soundtracks were cool in general. I'll never forget playing Black with happy sounding Grateful Dead playing in the background each time I had to restart a level.

My first time playing Morrowind or any ES game was the Xbox version. It was the first real in depth RPG I played. The world actually felt alive and I was overwhelmed at first at it and didn't really get into it a couple years later. KOTOR was cool, but I preferred Jade Empire. Way more fun to me.

This dichotomy is interesting to me.

I'm 100% the opposite, absolutely hate the PS layout.

Admittedly it's because I never owned a PS but I swear that humans have different left hands or something from how vehement this argument gets.

Case in point on the vehemence of the argument:

If you disrespect the 360 like that again I am going to be forced to punish you.

In my case, I've owned both (every Sony console except PSP and PS5; on the MS side, only the original and the 360, but I've also used the XBSX controller on PC). Had PS1 first of all, played PS2 before XB but owned XB before PS2. (In case it helps spot any pattern - prior to PS1, I had Sega Master System and Gameboy.)

360 controllers were better than Xbone controllers.

It doesn't really make any sense for the sticks to be asymmetrical
