About 60-70% of the consoles that we get traded in dont work at all (most dont read discs, or trays dont work). I recommend the Gamecube for the best last generation. Its cheap in australia (you can pick it up to $30-$50) and the games are absolutely fantastic (minus the cruddy PS2 ports). And as mentioned in the article, if you ever grab a Wii, you can continue to use the games and the controllers on that console (and lets face it, eventually the wii will take over the world). </p> I work at a gamestore, and I can tell you that the original XBOX is not reliable at all.
