I am wanting to sell my Xbox so I can get an iPod. Will I regret it? For my shooting games, I got that covered since I have Halo for the PC, my motocross game will be covered when I get MX vs. ATV for the Wii and my racing game is just a few of many.

So I am asking.. will it be a huge mistake even though the games I have are going to be covered by other games of the same type?

no, you won't regret it, you should also probably eventually upgrade to a 360 anyway, xbox is kinda dead, also whenever you get your ipod you need to buy the game peggle on it. It's perfect for the ipod and fun to play on the go. Do not little the unicorns and rainbows fool you. The game is amazing.

Well, I'd hate to point this out, but you already told us why you don't need it. Halo for PC, MX vs ATV for Wii...

Anyhow, how much are you going to get for it? If I were in your shoes, I'd read up on modding it, and installing XBMC on it. It basically turns the Xbox into a little media center, it's quite nice actually. You can even install a new HDD on it if you know what you're doing.

Unless those two games you mentioned are all you really liked about your Xbox, I'd sell it. I would never sell mine, because it's the media center in my living room....

I really like mine. I have a lot of games for it that I play fequently. It also serves as my DVD player. I won't get rid of it until it dies, but I'll probably still keep its body around after that...

Yeah.. I'm thinking a bundle of the system, three controllers, DVD Kit and eight games.

I should think of modding it, but I don't really have extra money for that. And the next console I get is gunna most likely be a 360 so yeah... Im gonna sell it

If you like Ninja Gaiden Black, do not sell it because the BC is BS. I'd never sell mine though.

i never regretted selling mine, there really isn't that much to play anymore that you can't play on the 360's backwards compatability.

If you don't want it anymore, get rid of it. It's not like it's a child.

I would sell It if I were you BUT not to get an ipod the break WAY to easily and they are alwasy having problems. instead go for a different brand or get a 360 instead that way you dont have to get rid of your Xbox games because they play on the 360.

there isnt much point of really having a xbox anymore eventually your gonna want to get a 360 and plus its backwards compatable on most games out there. or if you really want you can "trick it out" with XBMC which is basically a media center for your xbox

Your right, but you said it yourself. The Xbox 360 is backwards compatible with MOST games, not ALL games.

unlike other last gen consoles, like, say, the ps2, game developers have pretty much stopped putting new games on Xbox. If I were you, I would upgrade to 360. I have no regret whatsoever for selling the old Xbox and upgrading to 360.

nah, I guess I'll keep it. Besides, when I got enough extra cash for a 360, I will just sell my Xbox then.

I just hooked up my old Xbox, and it's a nice change of pace for me as I sometimes get sick of the 360 games I have. It's especially nice when Live isn't working so well.
