Quitting on it already? :P

I like Munch's Oddyssee so far, but I prefer Abe's on the PS1, of course. I also am enjoying the Namco and Atari collections - Galaga and Centipede ftw! Other than that, there's only a handful of titles that I have for the XBOX: Psychonauts, Red Faction II, Fable, Full Spectrum Warrior, and now GTA III (gained courtesy of Hobie-wan). I have a Mad Catz mini controller, though, so it's not as clunky in my hand.

I'll play mine from time to time. I picked up a ton of games for cheap when stores were trying to clear out stock, so I have a good sized backlog. If there's a multiplatform game from that generation I want, I'll usually try to find the Xbox version rather than PS2 or Gamecube.

I used to try to play the Dance Dance Revolution Ultramix series games on a daily basis. I still think they're the best home versions of DDR out there, especially with a fancy Cobalt Flux platform (which I have). At the moment, I don't have room to conveniently play, but I'd like to start again.

The only problem I have with the system is that some games don't let you back up save data on a memory card. And I'm afraid that if my hard drive ever dies, I'll loose my DDR DLC and never be able to recover it, in addition to save files. :/

I usually just play a ton of emulators on mine since I'm way too lazy to hook up all my consoles. I definitely use it a lot more as a media center though.

I still play Halo 1, Steel Battalion, Crimson Skies, and Gauntlet Dark Legacy. But Halo 1 is about to be replaced on the 360, Crimson Skies has been replaced by Dogfighter on the PC, and Steel Battalion is battling Mech Warrior 4 for my mech time. Gauntlet Dark Legacy still doesnt have competition from a modern console though.

My wife purchased a $40 reconditioned oXbox for Christmas two years ago, and I love it. I spent some serious time with the Ninja Gaiden, Panzer Dragoon Orta, Chronicles of Riddick, and the single-player campaign on Halo: Combat Evolved, and I am looking forward to spending some time with GunValkyrie, Half-Life 2, Halo 2, and Knights of the Old Republic, among many others.

Most of all though, I love that it is so easy and inexpensive to collect oXbox games. Many of the pawn shops here in Charlotte were selling oXbox games for $3 regardless of title, and the local Play 'n Trades had $5 oXbox games buy-two-get-one-free. Needless to say, I accumulated a sizable library of titles fairly quickly, and I am only trying to track down some of the system's rarest titles now.

I use mine very often. It's the only console hooked up to the big TV in the living room. I'm finishing Psychonauts this week and loving every minute of it. I bought the Xbox this year with 176 games (PAL, all original) for 100 euros so I have a huge library of titles to go through. I also bought a softmodded Xbox to play the few rarer titles which I can't afford at the moment and to use as an emulation console for my kids.
Btw, I find the original chunky controller very comfortable and use it constantly even though I have the smaller version as well.

Im so far behind with my consoles so yes I still play all the last gen stuff on Xbox, GC, DC & PS2.

Of the Xbox I like, PGR2, (so much so Im on my third playthrough!), Panzer Orta, Richard Burns Rally, (so hard on expert), Outrun 2, Forza, (75% complete), Doom 3.

I have tried to play and Halo so much, but I just cant seem to get into it, cant see what all the fuss is about!

Like others I like the fact that the games are so cheap, however I think Ive got all the ones I want now...
