I was in the same boat earlier this year; I found an Xbox in a roadside hard waste collection back in 2012 or so, which had nothing with it except for the DVD remote sensor still in the P3 controller port (funnily enough, along with a faulty PS2 Slim in the same plastic tub, which surprisingly still had the AV cable and the power brick with it). I finally bit the bullet and bought a controller and AV plug so I could see if it actually worked or not, along with a random game (Sonic Heroes). Turned out the Xbox worked fine, as did the PS2 once I picked up a replacement laser unit (before that, the PS2 would only read CD media like audio CDs, PS1 games, Tekken Tag Tournament etc.; in fact, I only used it for playing Tekken Tag back then).
