i just read the 3 pages and the only use full info i found is your recommendation for the x3 so thanks for that x3 sounds like a sound choice

do I get a new one or used ? will a 400gb hd work fine ? and will the games I stated above work well ?

Thanks for the info TheReturn

 

lol.
I dont think they have used x3.
300GB works for sure. I have not try the 400GB, but it should work.

which games are these "mk1 mk2 ki and blitz"?

 

old school stuff mortal kombat, killer instink, nfl blitz

they just have better graphic then pacman it's like ps1 comparible

pardon my english

 

so it is called emulators on xbox.
I dont know much about emulators.

 

its MAME multiple arcade machine emulator

 

yes it will work on xbox. Because of MAME you buy the xbox and softmod it. This is not worth at all.

 

buying and xbox for mame is not worth it ?

 

yeah. you can play mame on PC instead.

 

the advange i can put in my living room have mutiple controllers for cheap and play xbox games

 

Then you are ok. I though you don't like xbox games.

 

i have the xecuter 3ce and it is very good i would reccomend it, if you could find a used v 1.6 box i would get that or you can buy a new one but used would be cheaper
