Meet BATM4N, Sweden’s most brutal BMW E92 335i [4k]

Greetings and welcome to an L G R unboxing thing .

Something I've been wanting to get to for years now , this lovely looking unit .

This is the original Xbox first released on November 15th 2001 .

And yeah , with its 20th anniversary coming up here pretty soon , which I cannot believe .

I figured it would be kind of fun to do an unboxing of one that's never been used to my knowledge .

Yeah , I picked this up while rifting some time ago , like years back and , you know , I had actually never had one of these back in the day .

I didn't even know like many friends that had one , pretty much everybody I knew back then had a Playstation two and I myself was just a PC gamer through and through didn't even have any consoles when they were new until years later .

And yeah , the Xbox has always intrigued me .

I mean , ever since it came out , like I remember when it came out , it was really exciting to have this new player Microsoft in the console gaming market just on the surface , it kind of looked like a dreamcast but upgraded and it had a DVD ROM , it just looked really cool .

And the whole Direct Xbox thing was really appealing to me coming from the PC .

And that's , you know where the name comes from .

Direct X .

The Xbox API is a variant of it and the whole PC architecture underneath .

I mean , this is effectively just a computer crammed into a console case .

You know , you get a copper mine based 733 megahertz pen three processor , an NVIDIA G Force three based GP U 64 Megs of Ram has some standard desktop components in there like the DVD ROM and the 3.5 inch spinny hard disk and the direct X API A dude , it was just like computer and that appealed to me even though I never got one back then because I was 15 years old when this came out and I didn't have a job or money or , you know , whatever I had a computer , it was fine , but I've always been drawn to it as a result .

And well , now I've got one here that I've been mean to open up for a long time , kind of see what I was missing out on 20 years ago .

And I mean , you know , 20th anniversary seems as good a time as any to unbox it .

Plus I was also just going through stories recently ran across this and just posted a couple of photos on Twitter and be like , oh , hey , should I unbox this and the official Xbox account was like , oh yeah , you should do that .

So , hey , who am I to say no to some giant corporations , social media intern or whoever said that ?

So uh yeah , let's go ahead and unbox this sucker .

Oh yeah , this is nuts .

Yeah .

While the box has obviously been unsealed at some point in its past , all of the stuff inside looks to be still sealed in the way , it left the factory , which by the way was 2004 .

This is a slightly later one .

So I think March 2004 is what the manufacturing date back there says more on that in a bit .

But yeah , look at all this got the A V cable all sealed up there , composite R C A connections .

And when is this power maybe .

Yeah , just standard power cable also .

Yeah , that , I mean that's , that looks like original tape to me .

Wonderful .

But yeah , not being terribly familiar with the different versions and releases of the Xbox .

I wasn't sure if this would have like the Duke controller , obviously not .

This is like the S controller here , which makes sense being built in 2004 .

So the main event right here .

Look at this .

Oh man , like at Christmas I never had .

And last thing in the box are uh paperwork and documentation so important .

We got a warranty registration card .

Congratulations on owning the most exciting product on the planet Act .

Now to .

Ok .

It's a warranty extension or something .

Oh , I could have used that extended warranty kind of thing .

And my Xbox 3 60 my first one of those went red ring .

And what is this stop read things , uh , instructions ?

Cool .

Well , let me just take a second to admire all of this .

These things are only sealed once after all .

Look at all that man .

Just imagine getting something like this in the early two thousands .

It just , it always seemed like such a cool console .

I remember playing the demo units and just thinking that the graphics looked amazing , the frame rates and like there were uh Sequels to some of my PC gaming classics on here , like Midtown Madness three .

For instance , I was always envious that the consoles got that as an exclusive .

All right , I'll see what we got in this documentation real quick .

I genuinely never seen any of this .

I did have a friend's Xbox a few years ago that they had had but you know , it was just all , it was just a console .

It was loose second hand .

It didn't come with any of the original stuff .

So I have never seeing all the stuff that this comes with .

Oh , like a hook up thing here .

Yeah , quick start guide plug in the things .

Make sure it's powered on controller is connected and that you're not buying playstation and optional .

Go live optional .

Oh , how cute .

Whoa , free issue .

Of official Xbox magazine and a free game disc .

Wow .

I never read that magazine honestly .

Maybe a time or two in a Barnes and Noble and I was bored or something .

But , uh here we go .

Connect Xbox Live .

Uh It's pretty rad .

That was such a foreign concept .

Like an unthinkable thing to me back then .

Is having consoles on the internet ?

Are you kidding ?

I barely had reliable internet on my PC and plus like , yeah , just playing multiplayer games when it wasn't couch co-op .

Local multiplayer is weird .

And the instruction manual .

Hm .

How large , like dimension wise anyway , it doesn't look .

Yeah , not too thick .

10 pages in English .

Everything else is in Spanish and French makes sense .

I was curious if there's anything interesting in here whatsoever .

Like the in release of the cords , I always found that to be a cool idea .

So you don't yank on the console if you accidentally pull out the controller or whatever .

In a weird way .

I do have a component cables for this somewhere , but I'll have to see if I can find them out .

I'm probably not gonna do that today .

I don't know what we're gonna do today .

I just want to turn it on and like play it real quick .

Oh man .

More things to open .

So the composite video cable .

Oh , look at that , that big old chunky controller end piece .

Yeah , dude , I always admired how thick this cable was it .

Just feels like quality .

These connections nice and grippy and everything .

The gold tips .

Mm .

Smells like the mid two thousands genuinely .

Smells good .

I miss those years .

Got some power right here .

I mean , it's just a regular old power cable but it's so official .

Look at how official that is .

And the controller , I look forward to this .

The only ones I've ever used were really gross , like well used .

So , uh , you know , whether it was at friends' houses later on or the demo units and stores just terrible .

I just , I don't know , I've never played too many xboxes the originals anyway .

Well , yeah , that is wonderful .

Always enjoyed this controller .

I mean , I like the Duke as well .

Oh , that feels nice .

So fresh and so clean .

You got the two memory cards going in there and yeah , there's , that part comes apart there .

So many of these I found in thrift stores over the years .

They're just missing this aspect of it .

And then , uh , yeah , that sucks .

Yeah .

Back when everybody had their own proprietary connection instead of just USB , all the things .

Dude .

Totally playing the dick at us in Midtown Madness .

Three on this and finally , oh , my goodness excitement .

Oh , got some more plastic on top of there .

Dang .

How special .

Seriously .

Look at that .

So many of these unseen wealth drifting over the years and just never pick them up because they're always beat to hell and gross .

And scratched and all kinds of problems , man .

Some of these things really went through the wringer in terms of , uh , being well used , well loved , I suppose .

Yeah .

Isn't that nice ?

Don't open it .

Well , we might have to because here's another reason I was wanting to , uh , I was gonna unbox this no matter what , whether or not it was the 20th anniversary because see that manufacture date , March 21st 2004 and the serial number .

Well , that unfortunately puts it in a kind of an odd spot for a well known Xbox original Xbox problem .

And that is the clock capacitor dying , not only just dying but catastrophically .
