I was having a look around my local branch of GAME today when I spotted something that was quite tempting. If you take the time to peruse the 'old' consoles section you'll find that original Xboxes are now £20, and the games and peripherals for it are dirt cheap as well. I was amazed, not to mention extremely tempted to take them up on their generous offer, as the Xbox had/still has some cracking games available for it. They've been all but forgotten now that the new generation of consoles has come in but if you still love retro gaming it's well worth considering Microsoft's first foray into games consoles. You could do much worse!

Most of the games can be found in the 'pre owned' section for as little as £4.99, and controllers are still available too.

Not sure if they are but the existing ones are now really cheap to buy.

Well, I guess they're old hat now that the 360 has come in as Microsoft's contribution to 'next generation' gaming. But the original's still a good console if you're willing to look past its vintage status!
