What was xbox liv like on the original xbox ?

I never owned the original xbox but I plan to pick one up in the future as there are no xbox emulators for pc , I wanted to know if the original xbox had achievements , what the dashboard looked like (since the servers were shut down in 2010), were there
gamertags , could you carry your account over from xbox to xbox 360 before the servers shut down in 2010.

:)

 

Will Xbox Live be separate on the old and new consoles?

There was Xbox live on the original Xbox also, you could also play original Xbox games like Halo 2 online on your Xbox 360 until they updated live.





Although there's no official line I should think they'll integrate the two initially and then over time phase out the 360.

 

Quick question about purchasing original Xbox games on demand

[quote user="Mikerules868"]I know XBL for original Xbox games had been shut down.

What I meant was, if I purchase an original Xbox game through games on demand, would I be able to access the guide and use features like party chat?[/quote]No, there is no LIVE support whatsoever when playing Original
Xbox titles, so no party chat unfortunately.

 

It was a much more friendly place but there were less than a million users.Met some great people on live back then & i'm still friends with a lot of them now.

There were no achievements back then,& yes,you could carry your gamertag over from the xbox to the 360.

I forgot my email address back then so had to start a new tag.

Found an image of the original dash here

If you listened the original xbox dash used to "talk".

There was no xbla back then,you had to get the very few arcade games via a disc.

 

Hi

I still have an original Xbox plus a steering wheel and a "Barretta" style gun, twas good fun, and when I get a gaming only tv I will reconnect it.

I seem to remember that we had to connect to the web via a pc (Windows95) all those years ago, lots of cables around the house...:-D
