Is the console, plus wireless controller, two standard controllers and three games worth $100?

Yeah, that's not a bad price. Mod it, put XBMC on it and use it as a media centre when your kids aren't playing games.

XBMC is the best thing you could do with your xbox. I don't even really play games on my xbox anymore.

A moded XBox makes an awesome emulation setup too. We played everything from Nes to PSX on ours. Everything ran smooth as silk.

When you say PSX, do you really mean all Playstation titles?
The only reason I ask is a lot of folks say PSX when they can really only run PS1 games.

That's because the original Playstation was referred to as the PSX.

$100 is very reasonable for a system and 3 games, besides the controllers. Just look at what EB Games wants for a used system - it was $120 last time I checked and you only got 1 comtroller and maybe 1 game.

LOL. They also have 3 computers to play with. ;)

No, I want the xbox 360, not them. They only want an xbox now because their cousin got one and they can steal all his games. :D

All versions can be softmodded safely and easily, so really all you need is the harddrive :)

And not even the hard drive, considering the network streaming abilities of XBMC..

It's a good price. Like everybody said, put XBMC on it. Softmodding is easy. XBMC is one of the best media extenders out there and it's free (well, after the cost of the xbox).

I only found that replacing the hard drive was useful so I can load games straight from the hard drive (games I legally own mind you). If you're using the playstation emulator, those games can take up a lot of space, too.

the console alone is worth 100 bucks.

Worth, however, is subjective, now that the 360 is out. I don't know how long the Xbox will last. But I do know it was a fun system for me.
