EON Gaming has revealed its latest adaptor for retro game titles as they have a new Xbox model to bring the classic console to HDTV. The new XBHD adapter allows you to take the original 2001 console and bring it to HD, simplifying the process compared to other adapter systems currently on the market while also giving you a chance to experience the classic LAN party setup without all the cables and routing.

"The Xbox was home to the LAN party," said Justin Scerbo, co-founder of Eon Gaming. "The magic of linking consoles together to enjoy an expanded, connected local gaming experience was something that defined us then, and something we long for now. With XBHD, we wanted to bring that possibility back. Now, it's easier than ever, and these classic games have never looked better."
"I remember packing up my Xbox, four controllers, the cables, and an old, hefty tube TV into my small Miata, driving down to my friend's house, and having a Halo party that felt like it lasted for days," said Justin Chou, co-founder, Eon Gaming. "Nowadays, although everything's become easier with the use of online matchmaking lobbies, I can't help but feel like I've lost something magical. I miss sharing a living room with my closest friends and playing games all night."
