it's an original one from 2001-2006, and it was turned into a retro emulation machine after that. I don't know about the region lock, i don't think it has one, it only has a hard drive, and only outputs to 480p
Dumbasses. That's just another way to send a good amount of gamers to a competitor in the next console generation. Good time for Sega to rejoin the market.
I run my huge desktop computer, large screen TV monitor, large bank of external hard drives, big ass printer, and the attached stereo system 24/7. I only power down when the electricity goes out. The UPS gives me plenty of time.
I pay for the electricity. I'll use as much as I want.
With this update, you can leave your xbox on all the time too.
They’re just giving players a shutdown option in addition to the current sleep option. This article is full of shit. No forced shutdown. No making you quit playing. Just now offering a choice between off and really off.
"This one-time update to your power settings will reduce your power consumption while your console is off, and will not affect performance, gameplay, or your console's ability to receive overnight updates to system, games or apps. Remote features are supported while the console is powered-on; however, remote wake is not supported while the console is shut down. You can adjust your settings at any time, choosing what works best for you. Shutdown (energy saving) cuts power use by up to 20X when it's off compared to Sleep."
This in itself doesn't sound terrible. Would it help you save money on your electricity bill? They screwed up by marketing it as climate change bs and by using the scary.. you have no choice.
I don't have one, but i have an original xbox that's modified to be more like a computer. Thankfully the chip prevents them from doing anything to it.
Console modding ftw
I gotta ask; Does it have no region lock, Solid State Harddrive, HDMI out, Retro Emulation, or all of the above?

If you can't find any good component cables (or SCART cables if you're in Europe) There is an HDMI mod for the Xbox OG
Software modding should disable the region lock.
nothing like that, just vanilla hardware+chip+xbmc MC360 (360 blades look os), but it's been mostly unused for years.

Stadia died a miserable death, so Google's out of the AAA game market forever.
Amazon Luna is trying to be the game streaming service to replace Stadia.
Sony is bleeding sales with the chip shortage and scalpers
Nintendo is still holding itself back with their copyright strictness
Steam is still king of the PC market, with Epic following close behind alongside other game sale sites like itch.io and GOG
Dunno if the console market is gonna last another decade... To be honest I don't see SEGA coming back to it anytime soon
Too much money in video games. Consoles aren't going anywhere.
You know all the other brands will be doing it as well like it's the new current thing.

And I have a gas stove. So they can just bite me.

LOL!
Good. Maybe go outside & play or exercise.
…or wake up to what’s going on in your country.
Yup. Glazed over w/ ignorance & intellectually docile.

True, the way they market it is just continually shooting themselves in the foot.
I only use mine as a DVD player at this point. Maybe I should get a DVD player....
