I just got a Xbox one x refurbished for 200 with a 2 year replacement warranty. I just wanted to play some call of duty and maybe some Halo. I used to love playing these games online. I'm almost 40 now but hey I love going back in time
I’ve had an old VCR style Xbox one for nearly 10 years at this point, dad got it for me when I was like seven years old I’m 16 now, I can intestate the Xbox. It survived quite a bit. It’s been to South America, which most of our phones didn’t survive. It’s been through a lot always been there for me. I can attest from my experience. It’s a great consul. It’s been my main for most of my life and I just recently got a series X.
I'm a strict PC gamer with a 4070. I bought a XBOX ONE for $50 with the power brick only just so I can play EA NHL Hockey games since they aren't available for PC. Definitely worth the value.
From 2017, until December 2023, I gamed exclusively on XBOX One (VCR model). I played so many good games on it, including very demanding games such as Red Dead Redemption 2 and Halo Infinite, all running natively in the XBOX One. Never had an issue. Not only that, but backwards compatibility allowed me to play some great games from OG XBOX and XBOX 360, that I would not had experienced if it wasn't for the XBOX One. Last December I bought a Series X and thought of selling my XBOX One, but decided to leave it as a secondary gaming machine and Blu-Ray player on our second TV.
I enjoy the Xbox 360; it's my favorite system, and I own four for display and use. I acquired xbox one for its slightly faster loading times and improved graphics. It's a solid system, especially since the disc drive can play movies. With its proper applications and other features, it's almost a Windows clone, particularly if you're just using Edge and the Xbox app, which are my main uses. I hardly need my PC anymore, except for the data on it when I need to create a quick invoice, as I can use Word on Xbox. I wouldn't necessarily recommend it, but it's possible. What I mean is, the experience isn't bad at all for what you're getting; it's essentially a compact starter computer. Depending on its use, it's also an impressive next-gen Xbox 360 system. However, I do miss having downloaded music, something my PC and the 360 offer that the One doesn't handle well.
I grew up with every gaming system, though Atari wasn't much in the picture during the 2000s. Instead, Nintendo and the Wii reigned supreme. I've owned every Xbox and remote, experiencing nearly every gaming system and its computer counterparts over the years. In my opinion, the original Xbox remains the best in the lineup. It may be old and somewhat forgotten, but it's a true gem for those interested in retro or modern gaming. With keyboard and mouse support, plus multiple controller options via adapters, I could even use a 360 controller on my original Xbox if I wanted. Despite its slower speeds and the fact that it won't receive new updates-likely making this its last dashboard-I'm content to say it had a great run and can rest as a notable console in history. However, since it's still common, affordable, and functional, it's an excellent system to use. With proper care, it could last another 11 years. I haven't upgraded much, and it's served me well. I even reverted to this original model after trying all the newer ones. I never switched to the Xbox X because the Series S wasn't a significant step down, except for some improved ventilation and graphics processing speed, in my opinion.
Depending on the Xbox model you use, and aside from its modern specifications, the Series S supports 1440p, whereas the original Xbox One supports full 4K. While counting pixels may not make a significant difference, if you're seeking a system that matches your display, this could be worth considering. I stream movies from my Xbox to avoid using my PC when it's not necessary. I've moved away from using a TV since I don't binge-watch television shows or movies. Instead, I play them while working or sleeping, rarely watching a film in its entirety. It's convenient to have a lightweight system capable of running online and disc titles, as well as music CDs, if you still have them. The Series S doesn't seem as useful to me since the Xbox One nearly meets all my requirements. I don't need a fast system, just a reliable one. Despite lower graphics, which don't bother me after using the PS2 and 360, it's quite up-to-date compared to other systems, even without considering the hardware specifications.
Main reason I got an Xbox one originally was it's also not a bad wireless display that works great with a controller. It means you can remote play a PC on your tv in a usable state of you need to which has been really useful from time to time.
I got an Xbox One a few years ago for like $50 at a pawn shop. I have a Series S as well, but also a decent library of physical Xbox 360 and some Xbox One games, so that's what I use the Xbox One for occasionally. I think the last thing I played through fully on it was Red Dead Redemption. Loved the video, Kevin!
@@RawwRexxbox one s if your on a budget. Or if you can find a one X. The series x is of course the best but not cheap. I got one around last Christmas and paid over five for a brand new one with extended warranty.
@50kkk89 yes, but not every 360 game is compatible. Try searching "Xbox One backwards compatibility game list" and you should be able to find every game that will work
My brother just moved back in after unfortunately being homeless due to drugs. (He's doing well getting clean) He got an Xbox One as a teenager and 10 years later he's gotten back on it and playing EA FC which is helping him keep distracted whilst trying to get sober. It's pretty amazing to me that 10 years later he's still able to play new games which is a good distraction is pretty amazing to me.
I still got my OG Xbox One as well, same exact big body model. Once I got a PS4 in 2016, I basically put it down completely. Then when I was living with college roommates between 2020-2022 I left it in the living room as our entertainment box since I kept my Series X & PS5 in my room. For streaming vids and movies it did fine, and for our late night high as hell gaming sessions it did great considering we mainly played Rocket League and Jump Force lmao.
I got an Xbox One from my brother-in-law for basically $100 a few years ago. Base model and I'm fairly certain he had it since launch but I love it. I don't really care about "4K" or "HDR" or "One X Enhanced", I'm just happy to play the biggest games that came out for that generation.
Xbox one (VCR) is only 1080p. I picked up a white one and placed an ssd inside. You can get the Xbox One logo file offline. When you install a new hard drive, you lose the logo when turning on the console until a new update comes. Star Wars Squadrons still looks great on it.
bro the xbox one is still one of my favorite consoles maybe because I had more time to spend with that then my 360. I still belive no other console is going to replicate that old feeling for me
@@sirpugstudios it’s not so much the console, the Xbox one is obv more capable. It’s the games tho. The amount of quality games, and just the quantity of awesome and different genre/style of games that came out for the 360 is nothing short of staggering. Talking Ps2 level list of games here, but better. U should dive into them if u ever have the time.
iI understand what you're saying; I have years of experience on the Xbox 360, with over 2000 hours spent operating and playing on that system. I have nearly the same amount of time on the Xbox One, with 1200 hours dedicated to Fortnite alone. The nostalgia I have for the Xbox One comes from that game and the memories associated with it. Both have provided great moments in my life, but I must say, nothing has ever matched, and probably never will, the experience and games the Xbox 360 offered. It has exponentially changed the gaming industry as we know it today.
I've got a banging price of 40 quid from a friend. This is just the sort of video I was looking for. You mention graphics and looks which I don't care about at all, as long as it runs well I'll play it

I got my boyfriend a vcr Xbox one and he was thrilled. A handful of current games are still released on it like Prince of Persia, but also you have access to 3 generations of Xbox on that machine with backwards compatibility. He had put down gaming as a hobby for awhile so everything is new to him, even if it’s not a new release.
@@AshtonGodbout True but the one s is the only xbox one console besides the one x to do somewhat native 4k output to the tv for streaming media. the xbox one is only 720/1080p.
Skip the og Xbox One and the One S and go straight to the One X. It's a beast. That's what they kept saying back then. Plays some games in 4K better than the Series S.
I just bought a Xbox One X off ebay. Black. 1tb . $150. I LOVE IT. Also just picked up 7 games for $35 at gamestop. Imo it makes more sense to stay 6 years behind everyone else who needs the latest tech stuff. It saves me alot of money and also i never buy the first generation of any console due to the fact that 1st generation consoles so often have reliability issues from factory. Before this xbox one i was just playing my Switch and 360 lol I am having a blast with it!
@mcg160 i still use mine for the indies and older games in the backlog in another room. Still plays alot of games at 4k and a lot in 60fps Great console paired with a ssd to help the loads
just picked one up from a pawn shop for 10 bucks with a bent hdmi shield. opened it cleaned it, thermal paste and fixed the port. wotks like a charm!!!
If you are going to get an Xbox One, grab a 1TB 3.5" SSD off of eBay and replace the hard drive inside the Xbox (also installing the Xbox operating system) and also replace the thermal paste on the APU and blow out all the dust inside. Its easy to find tutorials on TH-cam but this will make your loading times way quicker and make games run a bit better on the Xbox One
Great video. I loved my Xbox One when I got it in 2016 and about 5 games for about $325. I donated it to my friends son when I upgraded to the One X and he played it for a couple years and had fun with it. When it comes down to it they are way more reliable than early 360s and you can play physical media in them. Good stuff for $70-$80
I have a series s and love it, it’s my first actual console and it’s great. I love the price and I only play cod and Fortnite so the storage isn’t an issue and I’m not missing out on the disk drive. The 120 fps is great and the load times is great
@@mikejett2733I got one for $35 only the cables and with no controller but I had extra laying around so it wasn’t an issue . It is now next to my series x , cheaper than buying expandable storage for the series x and I now have another actual console lol using it for Xbox one games and under , that frees up my series x for only Xbox series games when before I had a mix of everything
It’s perfect for casual media playback or even for a increasingly tight budget gamer. If you can find a XBOX ONE S for under $130, you’re getting an Ultra HD 4K blu ray player, plus an insanely large game library. It’s amazing backwards compatibility makes this a hard time to say “No” when your kid wants a game console. It’s too cheap to skip out on the passed- on savings.
I just bought a working Xbox one on eBay for $20. It came with the cables, 3 games and 2 controllers. I mainly bought it for a movie streaming device since I can’t stand to use Roku/Amazon fire sticks, they are way too slow. The original Xbox one blows them out the water just for movie streaming so I’m happy and it works perfectly well for my living room entertainment system.
These videos are fun and interesting, seeing how a PS4 or XB1 can run modern games and what deal you are getting for a older system. I know it is not the same thing but I think it would be worth doing a similar video on the Wii U. Those are around $150 and the give you access to the Wii U games that have ported over to Switch. And it plays Wii games. Something to consider. Thanks for the video!
@@overturee1928 Originally launched as an entertainment system primarily for online interactions, the inclusion of a 4K disc player is redundant when content runs natively in 4K. Previously, there was a superior storefront for movies and a TV tab that allowed streaming services like Telus Pik TV directly to the Xbox One, rather than through a television screen.
If you're venturing into the used market, it's a much better deal to get a used Series S for around $150-$200. Smaller footprint, 1440p resolution and current gen level gameplay. Not to mention it's an emulation beast!
Got one this week for £40 - only had a Switch otherwise. Looking forward to playing GTA V again, and Fortnite/Rocket League at frame rates that don't suck and bit at 720p
I got an OG Xbox One for free cause the disk drive was bad and was sluggish. Replaced the disk drive, formatted and installed an SSD, and redid the thermal paste and that machine is awesome. Plays 360 games and newer games and boots insanely fast
4:29 - There's not a real debate about Xbox One exclusives. There are about 12 games that are Xbox One only. A little more if you include backcompat Xbox 360 and original Xbox. The vast majority of third party games that were released on Xbox One are also on PS4.
Theres many factors are definitely worth considering for the One, specifically the S and X imo due to the better hardware which opens up more games to being far more enjoyable: 1. Price as you mentioned which can make the system and its games a great bang for your buck purchase. 2. Disc drive which accepts used games and Smart Access games which dont need an online check vs the Series that forces it to play the same game. Also Bluray and CD playback which baffles me how the PS4/5 got rid of it (just to promote their music streaming app). 3. MS Reward Points which definitely is handy for making games cheaper, I got Halo Infinites BP for free because of it. Add in an SSD and that thing can provide a ton of fun, but I would certainly avoid the original.
I like that I could plug in my switch hdmi into the other hdmi port on the xbox and just use that as a way to play it. It was nice not having to change hdmi over I could just click in the TV app for it
Upgrading the internal HDD to a 2.5" SATA SSD is pretty trivial and really only requires a screwdriver, a flash drive, OSU1, and being able to format the SSD to NTFS before installing it in the system. Completely rejuvenated my Xbox One VCR, improved boot and loading times.
about 2.5 years ago for reasons i didn't have a games console so i bought a vcr xbox one for around £50 this was just to play like 6 games i ended up keeping it for like 6 months because all the games i played was good enough around charismas 2022 my little cousin broke his xbox so i gave him that xbox and got myself the series x
My hang up with Xbox One, is that it requires an internet service to initialize it after a factory reset. Someday the servers won't be there, and the console will not be able to be part of its retro golden years.
Still use my Xbox one VCR. In fact, that’s why I’m here. I was playing Diablo IV, and I streamed a lot of Starfield. I do own a series x, but I leave my Xbox one at my parent’s house, and play on it when I visit.
Its not just about cloud gaming as some of the newer titles run really well on xbox one like Hogwarts legacy and fortnite FH 5 look really good RE 4 remake would run perfectly on xbox one x but given the older xbox one the one x is suffering a early death as the Xbox one x was the world's most powerful console back in 2018/19
I just got the series x for myself for Christmas and giving my little nephew my old xbox one x for his present(and I guess my brother too aka the baby daddy). Is the one X good enough for a 7 year old? He likes Fortnite and cod but on mobile but something tells me he'll just keep playing on mobile and my old console will just gather dust? Any thoughts?
Got one from a yard sale. Super clean and taken care of. Just plan on using for my YT channel for simple games that came out the same time for this Xbox. Like hello neighbor, prey, cuphead and hopefully dark souls remastered if it's playable. Simple games like bendy, codbo3 etc. as long as it does it job I'm happy for my channel
As someone still rocking a Xbox 360 in 2024, this would still be a decently big upgrade especially now that the marketplace is closing. I'm gonna go for a series S tho alongside my "gaming" PC for my studies
I'd get an Xbox Series X if I were you. Same UI, same infrastrucure, but the Series X has better performance, better load times, dynamic themes, quick resume (even tho I rarely use it), and it can play just about every Xbox One game. The only drawback is that it doesn't have Kinect support.
Simple Phil Spencer cross gen gaming policy which more for those 3rd party studios still use HDR tech over series X/S units ability game in Dolby Vision with HDR10 color spectrum technology. In simple words much more colors with more realistic look like AAA First party game like F1 racing or everwild or star field would look.
I bought one Xbox One S with two controllers really cheap as a Gamepass machine and it is great! I have 1 terabyte to install titles I use mostly on my house such as Diablo IV or EA FC and titles to play with friends such as APEX Legends, Back 4 Blood or Fortnite when they come home (me on my PC and them on the Xbox). I plan on replacing my computer's SATA SSD (2TB) for a 4TB one and move the old one to my Xbox for more storage and speed. I also didn't have a Blu Ray player so there's that as an extra bonus with this purchase. If you find a good price I say go for it!
I have a question, my brother has rust on ps5 and I’m thinking of getting an Xbox to play with him but I’m not sure which model to get, does anyone know which one I should go for?
The major reason you should buy this is the price, it can play games from 3 generation and some from this current gen, it's quiet, you only need to swap the HDD for an SSD especially if you play recent games
Physical games are still important to some people in the event that we don't have an Internet connection. Even if it's just a temporary outage. I'm glad I went back to buying blu rays and physical games again. Every now and then when I'm off and there's an Internet outage out of the blue I have games and movies that I don't need Internet to use.
If you're really going to rely on Game pass then you might as well get a One and spend less cash, a Series S will not do anything when streaming that the One can't.
Thanks, i have an old 360 which i used to play cod and forza about once a month, the ps5 and the series x are going for around $500 was thinking of getting the one s for $200 or the one x for $230
I have bought a XboneS for 150, which was the cheapest I could find. Wonderful purchase, have been using it for a year now. Gamepass has a large library of games and most xbox OG and 360 games run on my console just fine. Armored core 6, lies of P and persona 3 Reloaded are all great new releases which I have been enjoying. Lastly, most xbox games go on super cheap compared to the ps4 ones. Meaning Xbone (w/s or x) is super great for those on a budget.

I hardly need my PC anymore, except for the data on it when I need to create a quick invoice, as I can use Word on Xbox. I wouldn't necessarily recommend it, but it's possible. What I mean is, the experience isn't bad at all for what you're getting; it's essentially a compact starter computer. Depending on its use, it's also an impressive next-gen Xbox 360 system. However, I do miss having downloaded music, something my PC and the 360 offer that the One doesn't handle well.
I grew up with every gaming system, though Atari wasn't much in the picture during the 2000s. Instead, Nintendo and the Wii reigned supreme. I've owned every Xbox and remote, experiencing nearly every gaming system and its computer counterparts over the years. In my opinion, the original Xbox remains the best in the lineup. It may be old and somewhat forgotten, but it's a true gem for those interested in retro or modern gaming. With keyboard and mouse support, plus multiple controller options via adapters, I could even use a 360 controller on my original Xbox if I wanted. Despite its slower speeds and the fact that it won't receive new updates-likely making this its last dashboard-I'm content to say it had a great run and can rest as a notable console in history. However, since it's still common, affordable, and functional, it's an excellent system to use. With proper care, it could last another 11 years. I haven't upgraded much, and it's served me well. I even reverted to this original model after trying all the newer ones. I never switched to the Xbox X because the Series S wasn't a significant step down, except for some improved ventilation and graphics processing speed, in my opinion.
Depending on the Xbox model you use, and aside from its modern specifications, the Series S supports 1440p, whereas the original Xbox One supports full 4K. While counting pixels may not make a significant difference, if you're seeking a system that matches your display, this could be worth considering. I stream movies from my Xbox to avoid using my PC when it's not necessary. I've moved away from using a TV since I don't binge-watch television shows or movies. Instead, I play them while working or sleeping, rarely watching a film in its entirety. It's convenient to have a lightweight system capable of running online and disc titles, as well as music CDs, if you still have them. The Series S doesn't seem as useful to me since the Xbox One nearly meets all my requirements. I don't need a fast system, just a reliable one. Despite lower graphics, which don't bother me after using the PS2 and 360, it's quite up-to-date compared to other systems, even without considering the hardware specifications.
Main reason I got an Xbox one originally was it's also not a bad wireless display that works great with a controller. It means you can remote play a PC on your tv in a usable state of you need to which has been really useful from time to time.
I got an Xbox One a few years ago for like $50 at a pawn shop.
I have a Series S as well, but also a decent library of physical Xbox 360 and some Xbox One games, so that's what I use the Xbox One for occasionally.
I think the last thing I played through fully on it was Red Dead Redemption.
Loved the video, Kevin!
Which one do recommend playing online? For example black ops 2
@@RawwRexxbox one s if your on a budget. Or if you can find a one X. The series x is of course the best but not cheap. I got one around last Christmas and paid over five for a brand new one with extended warranty.

Games for the One are dirt cheap at GameStop.
Thankfully there was something good from their bad launch. Every game is cheaper than most other platforms and they play offline.

I still got my OG Xbox One as well, same exact big body model. Once I got a PS4 in 2016, I basically put it down completely. Then when I was living with college roommates between 2020-2022 I left it in the living room as our entertainment box since I kept my Series X & PS5 in my room. For streaming vids and movies it did fine, and for our late night high as hell gaming sessions it did great considering we mainly played Rocket League and Jump Force lmao.
I got an Xbox One from my brother-in-law for basically $100 a few years ago. Base model and I'm fairly certain he had it since launch but I love it. I don't really care about "4K" or "HDR" or "One X Enhanced", I'm just happy to play the biggest games that came out for that generation.
Because I’m poor
Xbox one (VCR) is only 1080p. I picked up a white one and placed an ssd inside. You can get the Xbox One logo file offline. When you install a new hard drive, you lose the logo when turning on the console until a new update comes. Star Wars Squadrons still looks great on it.
bro the xbox one is still one of my favorite consoles maybe because I had more time to spend with that then my 360. I still belive no other console is going to replicate that old feeling for me
360 is infinitely better than the Xbox one, it’s not even comparable. No debate to be had here. Nostalgia is strong but let’s be real shall we…
@@godnamedtay I agree it's just that I had more time to use the one so I believe it is the most memorable personally, I still prefer the 360.
@@sirpugstudios it’s not so much the console, the Xbox one is obv more capable. It’s the games tho. The amount of quality games, and just the quantity of awesome and different genre/style of games that came out for the 360 is nothing short of staggering. Talking Ps2 level list of games here, but better. U should dive into them if u ever have the time.
@@godnamedtay no, I know. I have a 2 360s and I play them all the time now
iI understand what you're saying; I have years of experience on the Xbox 360, with over 2000 hours spent operating and playing on that system. I have nearly the same amount of time on the Xbox One, with 1200 hours dedicated to Fortnite alone. The nostalgia I have for the Xbox One comes from that game and the memories associated with it. Both have provided great moments in my life, but I must say, nothing has ever matched, and probably never will, the experience and games the Xbox 360 offered. It has exponentially changed the gaming industry as we know it today.
I've got a banging price of 40 quid from a friend. This is just the sort of video I was looking for. You mention graphics and looks which I don't care about at all, as long as it runs well I'll play it

I got my boyfriend a vcr Xbox one and he was thrilled. A handful of current games are still released on it like Prince of Persia, but also you have access to 3 generations of Xbox on that machine with backwards compatibility. He had put down gaming as a hobby for awhile so everything is new to him, even if it’s not a new release.
Still have my og Xbox one as a secondary system to my Switch and my PC. I use it for casual multiplayer and streaming services
I've been thinking about this very purchase for the last couple weeks TY
get a one s for 4k video, you also get 1080p passthrough, although if your planning on games 720p/1080p/1440p
@@imhimmmfr the one or one s are both capable of this.
@@AshtonGodbout True but the one s is the only xbox one console besides the one x to do somewhat native 4k output to the tv for streaming media. the xbox one is only 720/1080p.
Skip the og Xbox One and the One S and go straight to the One X. It's a beast. That's what they kept saying back then. Plays some games in 4K better than the Series S.
The funniest thing is I actually bought that Xbox one halo 5 limited edition console just recently that’s shown at 0:38 💀

I just bought a Xbox One X off ebay. Black. 1tb . $150. I LOVE IT. Also just picked up 7 games for $35 at gamestop. Imo it makes more sense to stay 6 years behind everyone else who needs the latest tech stuff. It saves me alot of money and also i never buy the first generation of any console due to the fact that 1st generation consoles so often have reliability issues from factory. Before this xbox one i was just playing my Switch and 360 lol I am having a blast with it!
Buy a Xbox One X , the other models are outdated
@mcg160 i still use mine for the indies and older games in the backlog in another room. Still plays alot of games at 4k and a lot in 60fps
Great console paired with a ssd to help the loads
Looove my one x to this day. Installed an internal ssd and I can easily see myself continuing to use it for the next five years
Using my One X with an SSD and don't plan on retiring it any time soon
That one x timer chip though...black screen of death.
@@HughesburnerYeah, happened to my. My day one 'VCR' Xbox One is still working. My later purchased One X died on me not long ago.
just picked one up from a pawn shop for 10 bucks with a bent hdmi shield. opened it cleaned it, thermal paste and fixed the port. wotks like a charm!!!
If you are going to get an Xbox One, grab a 1TB 3.5" SSD off of eBay and replace the hard drive inside the Xbox (also installing the Xbox operating system) and also replace the thermal paste on the APU and blow out all the dust inside. Its easy to find tutorials on TH-cam but this will make your loading times way quicker and make games run a bit better on the Xbox One
I still have and play with my Xbox one
I love your videos thank you for putting so much effort into them
Great video. I loved my Xbox One when I got it in 2016 and about 5 games for about $325. I donated it to my friends son when I upgraded to the One X and he played it for a couple years and had fun with it. When it comes down to it they are way more reliable than early 360s and you can play physical media in them. Good stuff for $70-$80
I've had my original Xbox one since 2015, have not upgraded since
I have a series s and love it, it’s my first actual console and it’s great. I love the price and I only play cod and Fortnite so the storage isn’t an issue and I’m not missing out on the disk drive. The 120 fps is great and the load times is great

Bro how tf does my xbox one install games faster than my one s..
It’s perfect for casual media playback or even for a increasingly tight budget gamer. If you can find a XBOX ONE S for under $130, you’re getting an Ultra HD 4K blu ray player, plus an insanely large game library. It’s amazing backwards compatibility makes this a hard time to say “No” when your kid wants a game console. It’s too cheap to skip out on the passed- on savings.
I just bought a working Xbox one on eBay for $20. It came with the cables, 3 games and 2 controllers. I mainly bought it for a movie streaming device since I can’t stand to use Roku/Amazon fire sticks, they are way too slow. The original Xbox one blows them out the water just for movie streaming so I’m happy and it works perfectly well for my living room entertainment system.
These videos are fun and interesting, seeing how a PS4 or XB1 can run modern games and what deal you are getting for a older system. I know it is not the same thing but I think it would be worth doing a similar video on the Wii U. Those are around $150 and the give you access to the Wii U games that have ported over to Switch. And it plays Wii games. Something to consider. Thanks for the video!
Weird he didn't mention any of the media playback features like 4k disc player and upscale video plus kodi support
Because the OG Xbox one doesn’t not have a 4K disc player
@@overturee1928 Originally launched as an entertainment system primarily for online interactions, the inclusion of a 4K disc player is redundant when content runs natively in 4K. Previously, there was a superior storefront for movies and a TV tab that allowed streaming services like Telus Pik TV directly to the Xbox One, rather than through a television screen.
If you're venturing into the used market, it's a much better deal to get a used Series S for around $150-$200. Smaller footprint, 1440p resolution and current gen level gameplay. Not to mention it's an emulation beast!
Is it still an emulation beast?
Yes@@MisterJIFF
Did u say smaller footprint? Smdh...
Footprint?
@@jimmyjay689Yes, it requires less shelf space than the Xbone VCR.
I got the Xbox One for 120 and still use it because it is easy to clean and has been reliable.
I still play on the original Xbox One I got when I was about 13 in middle school as my main system lol, I hopefully will be upgrading to a PC soon
Put an ssd on the xbone.
Well, I will have my Xbox One on Christmas.
Got one this week for £40 - only had a Switch otherwise. Looking forward to playing GTA V again, and Fortnite/Rocket League at frame rates that don't suck and bit at 720p
I got an OG Xbox One for free cause the disk drive was bad and was sluggish. Replaced the disk drive, formatted and installed an SSD, and redid the thermal paste and that machine is awesome. Plays 360 games and newer games and boots insanely fast
4:29 - There's not a real debate about Xbox One exclusives. There are about 12 games that are Xbox One only. A little more if you include backcompat Xbox 360 and original Xbox. The vast majority of third party games that were released on Xbox One are also on PS4.
Series x is a beast
Theres many factors are definitely worth considering for the One, specifically the S and X imo due to the better hardware which opens up more games to being far more enjoyable:
1. Price as you mentioned which can make the system and its games a great bang for your buck purchase.
2. Disc drive which accepts used games and Smart Access games which dont need an online check vs the Series that forces it to play the same game. Also Bluray and CD playback which baffles me how the PS4/5 got rid of it (just to promote their music streaming app).
3. MS Reward Points which definitely is handy for making games cheaper, I got Halo Infinites BP for free because of it.
Add in an SSD and that thing can provide a ton of fun, but I would certainly avoid the original.
I like that I could plug in my switch hdmi into the other hdmi port on the xbox and just use that as a way to play it. It was nice not having to change hdmi over I could just click in the TV app for it
What if you just buy every Xbox in existence then you don’t even have to bear the option in your head
Upgrading the internal HDD to a 2.5" SATA SSD is pretty trivial and really only requires a screwdriver, a flash drive, OSU1, and being able to format the SSD to NTFS before installing it in the system. Completely rejuvenated my Xbox One VCR, improved boot and loading times.
I have a 1TB XBOX One and thought on doing this, is it a significant inprovement in your opinion?
Yes. I have done it as well.
Worth xbox one for collection or for gaming ??
Thanks, love the vid
about 2.5 years ago for reasons i didn't have a games console so i bought a vcr xbox one for around £50 this was just to play like 6 games i ended up keeping it for like 6 months because all the games i played was good enough around charismas 2022 my little cousin broke his xbox so i gave him that xbox and got myself the series x
My hang up with Xbox One, is that it requires an internet service to initialize it after a factory reset. Someday the servers won't be there, and the console will not be able to be part of its retro golden years.
My sister bought a Series S a little while ago.
She game me the One S we got for Christmas 8 years ago. I adore it.
Still use my Xbox one VCR. In fact, that’s why I’m here. I was playing Diablo IV, and I streamed a lot of Starfield.
I do own a series x, but I leave my Xbox one at my parent’s house, and play on it when I visit.
Its not just about cloud gaming as some of the newer titles run really well on xbox one like Hogwarts legacy and fortnite FH 5 look really good RE 4 remake would run perfectly on xbox one x but given the older xbox one the one x is suffering a early death as the Xbox one x was the world's most powerful console back in 2018/19
Awesome points. Time to dust off the ol VCR
I just got the series x for myself for Christmas and giving my little nephew my old xbox one x for his present(and I guess my brother too aka the baby daddy). Is the one X good enough for a 7 year old? He likes Fortnite and cod but on mobile but something tells me he'll just keep playing on mobile and my old console will just gather dust? Any thoughts?
i would have stayed with the OG X1 had they found a way to make it without the giant power brick
Interestingly, it is possible to use a 360 power brick to operate an Xbox One, although it is not recommended.
Can anyone tel me is ther a xbox 1 that dosent deleate your profiles?
Got one from a yard sale. Super clean and taken care of. Just plan on using for my YT channel for simple games that came out the same time for this Xbox. Like hello neighbor, prey, cuphead and hopefully dark souls remastered if it's playable. Simple games like bendy, codbo3 etc. as long as it does it job I'm happy for my channel
As someone still rocking a Xbox 360 in 2024, this would still be a decently big upgrade especially now that the marketplace is closing. I'm gonna go for a series S tho alongside my "gaming" PC for my studies
alternatively, a modded xbox 360 is a great to have.
no more worrying about the marketplace shutdown
I'd get an Xbox Series X if I were you. Same UI, same infrastrucure, but the Series X has better performance, better load times, dynamic themes, quick resume (even tho I rarely use it), and it can play just about every Xbox One game. The only drawback is that it doesn't have Kinect support.
Simple Phil Spencer cross gen gaming policy which more for those 3rd party studios still use HDR tech over series X/S units ability game in Dolby Vision with HDR10 color spectrum technology. In simple words much more colors with more realistic look like AAA First party game like F1 racing or everwild or star field would look.
I picked up an extra Xbox one 2016 fat model for 45 bucks and an elite 2 controller
Xbox One S w/ internal SSD, amazing.
Which hardware is possible to upgrade in Xbox One?
I bought one Xbox One S with two controllers really cheap as a Gamepass machine and it is great! I have 1 terabyte to install titles I use mostly on my house such as Diablo IV or EA FC and titles to play with friends such as APEX Legends, Back 4 Blood or Fortnite when they come home (me on my PC and them on the Xbox). I plan on replacing my computer's SATA SSD (2TB) for a 4TB one and move the old one to my Xbox for more storage and speed. I also didn't have a Blu Ray player so there's that as an extra bonus with this purchase. If you find a good price I say go for it!
I got a brand new xbox one off ebay sealed brandnew for 50$ my cuz broke my xbox series s and i bought the xboxone
I have a Xbox one x for 100€ and I think it’s a very good upgrade from ps4
Has the Xbox One the same specifications as the Xbox One S, or is the Xbox One X a better buy?
I have a question, my brother has rust on ps5 and I’m thinking of getting an Xbox to play with him but I’m not sure which model to get, does anyone know which one I should go for?
The major reason you should buy this is the price, it can play games from 3 generation and some from this current gen, it's quiet, you only need to swap the HDD for an SSD especially if you play recent games
4 generation
I still have the xbox one x gears of war edition and I love that thing I still play it and have good times with it😊
Or just buy a used Series S and get Game Pass.
Physical games are still important to some people in the event that we don't have an Internet connection. Even if it's just a temporary outage. I'm glad I went back to buying blu rays and physical games again. Every now and then when I'm off and there's an Internet outage out of the blue I have games and movies that I don't need Internet to use.
@@JustinTheGreatof that is the case just get the One X 😂
If you're really going to rely on Game pass then you might as well get a One and spend less cash, a Series S will not do anything when streaming that the One can't.
Its not as budget but that's my opinion
If you want the physical disc its always worth it
