hey
I never liked consoles that much but the xbox got me hooked back in the days when i played Halo 2 with friends.
while we met once a week for a session i bought my own xbox and modded it short after.
when i came across xbmc i got myself a 2nd one to have a media player with every tv in my apartment.
damn it was so convenient that i even bought a third one to take with me when my job made me travel.
all 3 boxes still work to the day although some repairs were needed (cap remove, trace fix and the like).
I'm german but live in Detroit since 2015 and so do the xboxes
