May sound as a really stupid question and excuse my ignorance but what happens if I connect the original Xbox I purchased to the net ? will I still find it active for that system ? reason why I ask is because I saw an add from an e-bay seller selling an original Xbox and in the description it said: "ready to play and connect to XBL", something that left me scratching my head.

While the original Xbox is no longer able to connect to Xbox live. It is still possible to play the Original Xbox on-live in 2015. Xlink Kai is a tunneling software that simulates a Local Access Network thus making it possible to play some original Xbox games on-line. Not all original Xbox games are compatible with Xlink Kai. But Multiplayer On-line sessions are still able to happen in 2015. While the official Xbox live support ended for the original Xbox. It is technically possible to still play on-line with Xbox in 2015.

Xlink Kai is the way to go, for a list of original Xbox games and how to connect your Xbox on-line visit the Xlink Kai website. Xbox 360 is also supported by Xlink Kai so when Xbox live no longer supports Xbox 360 you can still play on-line.

Besides Xbox and Xbox 360 other videogame systems are also supported. Good luck with your original Xbox. Happy gaming.

@Megavideogamer: thank you very much for that information, even though I never really planned to play the original Xbox and PS2 online it´s awesome to know that I still can.

Xlink Kai is an awesome program that is worth checking out on a lot of older games.
