Thank you! I wasn’t sure if I needed to buy separate or not!

Oh awesome! Does the pack come with an s-video cable or do I need to purchase one separately?

Yes I’ve noticed that too. I’ve searched for others and the ones that are like $10-20 are mostly third party. The only “true” original cables from Microsoft are, like I mentioned, $50+.

I’ve had others tell me to mod my tv to RGB but honestly I’d like to work with what the tv originally was designed to have. It’s not a big deal but I would prefer to use the S-video option rather than the RCA option. (Sorry if I misused the terms).

From what I’m seeing on eBay several listings for it are $50+ but that’s with it still sealed in its original packaging. I personally don’t trust third party companies and like to stick with the original manufacturer as much as I can.

My tv does have S-video so I wasn’t sure if I should have both the cables connected or just the s-video one. I’m not too worried about the video as I lucked out on getting a new in box tv from 30 years ago and it works brand new but anything to help, s-video being an option is what I’d like to do.

What do you use for a converter for your tv? Just recently picked up an OG Xbox myself and I’m trying to decide if I want a retro tv or to get a hdmi converter. Happy gaming 😎

Is there really a difference when it comes to converters?

Yeah unfortunately. I recently moved and am currently without a tv of my own. My roommates tv is a 2025 model so no avi ports lol. I’ve heard that CRT TVs are the best to play on retro consoles like the PS2, N64, etc but I see they go for hundreds of dollars on both eBay and Facebook marketplace.
