bertberr Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Greetings all, need some advice re a games console for my 11 yr old lad. He currently has an xbox 360 which he likes, but all his mates have xbox Ones and apparently he can't do 2 player (online?) games with them because his 360 doesn't talk to the Ones. So, I thought well just get an xbox one and be done with it, but then I realised there's not just one...but loads of different versions, so a bit confused there? But also, I've read that there's an all new xbox due out later this year, so would buying a One now, at full rrp (from say Currys) be a bit of a no no - could we expect to see One prices fall significantly later in the year once the all new xbox is out, or do you think the One will carry on alongside the new one as a stand alone (cheaper) option, bit like iphone 5S/C situation? Any thoughts please from you experienced console guys, as I have no interest in them and therefore no knowledge either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyboy_uk Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 The XBOX One S 1TB is the current version which can be had with different game bundles for about £250. They also do a digital edition for £199 which doesn't have a disk drive. I would avoid this one as you won't be able to buy used games. Is it worth hanging on for the new XBOX? That depends if your lad would enjoy the XBOX One S in the meantime or would be happy to wait. The XBOX Series X comes out in November (assuming there are no delays). Also the first stocks could sell out quickly. It is rumoured to have a launch price of £500 ish. Prices with inevitably fall on the XBOX One. There is always an overlap on the console generations so it won't be obsolete as soon as the new one launches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex97 Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Personally I'd wait for the next gen consoles however for general gaming either the PS4 or the Xbox one will be fine. Personally I wouldn't have a digital only console as the price for games direct from Xbox is always higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Keep an eye out daily on HotUKDeals, my friend picked up the Forza Horizon 4 edition Xbox One for £99. They have some good deals on there from time to time, not saying it will happen tomorrow, but if you're not in a big rush, usually theirs a good deal weekly/fortnightly.

bertberr Posted April 16, 2020 Author Share Posted April 16, 2020 OK, thanks for the comments guys, sounds like a One S would be fine for him, I just need to be patient and wait for a decent deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigjimknickers Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 CEX is good too, I traded my wife's phone in & walked out with an xbox one & a load of games, plus it has a years warranty- only downside is they don't tend to clean them, they just test them, mine was manky AF. but very cheap with warranty can't be beat.

Dawesy Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Just remember that you can fill the 1tb harddrive up quite quick if you do a lot of gaming - the latest call of duty takes a whopping 180gb of storage, Forza took 60gb and GTA 90gb! thats a fair chunk - factor in a external harddrive, mines a 2tb seagate one, works wonders! Worth checking sites likes pricerunner before buying games, some bargains to be had! J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
