Original Xbox Controllers/cables?

zing zong

Hey Guys

Had a break in during the week, and in thier haste while nicking the stuff the idiots bagged the cables and controllers.....yet not the xbox(original) thank god

ive rang around and game,gamestop,hmv and smyths etc all no longer have original xbox stuff stocked, and ordering them online isnt an option

so if anyone here has, or knows somebody that would have a controller and cables they could sell me it would really make my day

thanks a million, hopefully somebody can help out

(limerick based)

The power lead is just a standard mains power lead like this:

Should be able to pick them up in any hardware/electrical shop. I'd love to help with the controllers but I only have one myself

I didnt know you could just use any! thats savage, thanks for the advice atavan, all i need is a controller so

thanks again

(Just tried it there, works!! nice)

@zing zong: Be careful using a standard cable, the original xbox had a flakey power connector ... to overcome it they had a replacement program where they would send you a sort of surge protector cable for free.

If you hear any crackling noise when hooking it up then you probably have a dodgy connector. It's a quick resoldering job to fix it, any AV/PC repair shop can fix it.

hey neilor thanks for the advice man, sounds ok so far, but ill still keep my eyes open for an original power connection if i can, to be on the safe side
