Which aging console is most worth the money?

[Unicast]

Without doubt it is the Dreamcast.

Seconded!

I thought really hard about a Dreamcast, but there just aren't that many games for it that really interest me... and the ones that do are very hard to find these days.

If you're willing to install a modchip on an Xbox, give it a new HDD, and install some software on it, you can backup your games to it's HDD. I've got about 30 odd games on mine and it has shorter loading times from the hard disk. Also got a Plsyation 1 Emulator and Neo Geo emulator on it.

This thread has been dead for more than 2 years, I think the OP has decided by now

PS2 has better games, even though you can play some of them on a PS3 if you have the right model. This can also be done on an Xbox 360, but I still believe PS2 is the way to go. Plus, you can't go wrong with games like Time Splitters 2, God of War, Resident Evil 4, etc.

One vote for xbox+modchip+XBMC its total treats, an excellent community project.

I'm a long time user of XBMC

When my first xbox went belly up I traded a old used Chipped PS2 to a refurb Xbox so i could have my beloved media center that plays everything (less high def video files, not enough power in the old xbox for that)

the xbox with XBMC on it is by far the best, most compatible and flexible media center for your living room hands down

and the best part, its free, well the software is at least

Yeah, but there's Halo for PC. Just dual-boot.
So, you bought an X-Box just for the Halo?
