Plenty of gamers in here but not on a console!! The horror!!!

Upvoted in hopes of summoning help.

Lots. No console here either. Used to but left the console world to move back to PC. Now with Steam and GOG I don't find the console world interesting anymore.

If I wasn't so mobile, I'm sure I'd have been talked into a console by now, likely the XBOX One. But given how we move, they are not an option.

If I wasn't so cheap, I'd be a PC gamer.

Is it that expensive? Partially why I like it is that it is so cheap. Have you checked out Steam and GOG? They make PC gaming at any scale a fraction of the price of a console, for me at least. Even only buying used console games (which is not really possible now in the downloaded game era) I easily get 5:1 games for the same money on a PC. And the variety is so much bigger. And I already own PCs for other things.

XBOX One or 360?

I think I understand what you are asking, so hopefully these links will assist you:

I could be incorrect but I was under the impression that the original XBOX is no longer able to access XBL.

EDIT:
I was correct

I have no idea, I've never used one and never did online stuff with the 360.
