EON Gaming has announced another version of its 'XBHD' adapter; a plug-and-play device that allows for HDMI-powered high definition gaming on the original Xbox. This new version carries over all the 2023 edition's features - except this time it's housed in a beautiful 'Halo Spartan Edition' green casing.
We'll throw a few images of the new adapter down below, which of course would look fantastic paired up with a green original Xbox as pictured.
The new Spartan-flavoured adapter features 480i, 480p, 720p and 1080i playback, LAN connectivity, a 3.5mm audio jack, and multiple HDMI slots for multiscreen play - as you can see in the images. It's important to note that the XBHD adapter only works with US NTSC systems.
Late last year we reviewed the first-edition XBHD, and ultimately came away a little disappointed. However, the biggest issue we had — the adapter's overall display brightness — is said to have been resolved on new units, and the fixed units have now seen a price cut too - cost being our other major concern when reviewing the XBHD.
Anyway, both this new Halo Spartan Edition and the standard black adapters now come in at $149.99 — down from the original $189.99 asking price — and if you'd like to read our impressions, feel free to check those out down below. Just be aware that the brightness issues we faced are supposedly now fixed!
