I beg to differ. :P

If you get an original Xbox (not 360), and mod it, it becomes more than just a box that runs Halo. There's this totally sweet piece of software called Xbox Media Center (XBMC) which makes it even better than a PC at playing videos and music. It gives you the whole "media center"-style interface, and grabs all your music and movies off your computers via the network. Kinda like what is only just being done on the recent consoles (PS3, the 360), except a lot better because XBMC is based off a heap of open-source projects, meaning you can do what you want with it. Or you could run Linux on it, and turn it into a desktop machine. Or, if you manage to get a hold of the right toolkits, you can make your own games for it. You can run Nintendo 64, SNES, Sega, and a heap of arcade games on the Xbox by loading emulators onto it. And it does YouTube, Google Maps... it's totally awesome!
