I just got an preowned (original) black Xbox with 1 controller, BLACK (the game) and a one year warranty. - All for £55 (thats $100)
Wow. Blacks graphics is better than that of my pc
And ripping music to HDD and using it in games is excellent!
Also the preowned games market for xbox is great. My local GAME store had the same number of original xbox games as they do for PS2 and games are £5 to £18!
- half the price of preowned ps2 games
Maybe this is due to the 360 being out
Any useful hints/tips/things i should know about?

Let's hope it is one of the good ones, there have been an awful lot of units breaking down within months of the warranty expiring if reports reaching me are anything to go by.
I have done the opposite to you, and gone and pre-ordered a PS3 with guaranteed delivery on the 23rd March launch date. My bad. £425 plus a few games, a second controller, the HDMI cable.
Just don't tell the wife...

Ah, mea culpa. I see xbox and automatically think xbox 360 these days.
FWIW you can read about my PS3 pre-ordering fun in my DaniWeb blog.

£425 is the launch price, which is silly compared to the US pricing but I can't help myself and ordered one anyway, plus a load of games and stuff

Florida Rocks!
i actually don't own an Xbox!, so i'm not the guy to answer, but do ask bennet seeing as he has a modded version ~ send him a private message and he'll get back to ya!
