Another good reason to pick up either the Xbone or the Series S is that they can turn into emulation powerhouses. Enabling the dev mode on these consoles allows you to run and install various emulators, so you can have a massive library of PS2, PSP, N64, etc. games running perfectly. Could be interesting to research for a follow-up video.
That's why I think the S is a really compelling option, it offers a really great all in one, however for a steeper entry price. Just all depends on the person's budget and what they want to sacrifice for sake of budget.
I actually went and bought a Series S for this exact reason. I got it used for $160 and it does an amazing job running the games I've tried (which is SNES, N64, Gamecube, and Wii games using Retroarch and Dolphin)
Hell ya i just got a one x to with a portable gaming case for 100 dollars love the console i dont see me getting a new xbox for some time. Playing some Elden Ring an rdr2 on it atm an thy run fantastic on this system
@@NaderVaderYT Lol I got my xbox on x for free at best buy on black friday when I bought my 4k tv in 2018. So for $700 I got xbox one x bundled /w forza horizon 4, 4k 55inch samsung qled tv. I honestly went in for a cheaper samsung tv, but the qled caught my eye and told the worker.. I'd take it and he told me to pick out a xbox one x to go with it. I was shocked.
Just found your channel. Great video. I have a few Xbox Ones (S and an X) and they still both hold up. I really enjoy all the things Xbox does to enhance quality on older games. Also, taking your saves from older 360 games that are back compat is a huge plus. These are great times for older gens.
The best thing is having options. There is no right or wrong. I held off on getting an Xbox One until 2017 when I got an Xbox One S.the tipping point for me was getting backward compatibility with some original Xbox games along with the Xbox 360 games. Now I have an Xbox series X and play often remotely on my phone or iPad.
I got an XBOX One 2 years AFTER the Series consoles came out, mainly play Rare Replay, Forza Horizon and F1 and old Sega stuff...also if you haven't already try Kingdoms of Amalur that game is amazing.
@@gearswitch8193 So they could have an Xbox in their own rooms. We share a big library of games 😅 They also use it for streaming apps. Plus they play just dance on the Kinect.
@@ALAYZA1000You’re doing good man. I remember playing just dance on the wii when I was a kid. I miss those days when I didn’t have to worry about life….
As someone who has all the modern systems; Switch, PS5, Series X and the Steam Deck and greatly enjoys playing them I still won’t deny that the a Xbox One is a impressive bargain. For $80 or so dollars you get a system that has plenty of great games. The games for the most part are pretty dirt cheap and still hold up. I would recommend to nearly anyone who is gaming on a budget to pick one up. And if you want more new games to get a Series S, they are usually $200 on the second hand market . Just remember that it doesn’t play any disc. Thanks for the video!
Ace combat 6 is backwards compatible. I wouldn't recommend the old VCR Xbox Ones. They were notorious for having faulty blu ray drives. Especially the early models. I'd opt for a Xbox One S. Those also had 4k blu ray drives which allow you to watch 4k blu rays. The Series S is a digital only machine So say goodbye to used physical games. But it is a current gen console so it will play all the new games coming out. Honestly, If you don't care that much about better graphics or framerates. Or the new games coming out The Xbox One S is the best way to go. You get a good reliable console that plays 4k blu rays for cheap and it plays physical games including all the 360 back compat titles. and you still have access to gamepass if you want. and its library is still massive. I have a Series X and I'm quit happy with it. Because I know not everyone wants to spend money on a new console. The Xbox One S is in my opinion the perfect budget option.
I got a Xbox One S for $60 on Marketplace. MB needed to be replaced so I sent it to go in for repairs. Didn't pay a lot for repairs thankfully and is fully functional now. Been buying physical games for cheap and I love the variety. Not too interested in Game Pass myself, but if I get it as a gift, then I'll use it, but I just buy the games I like to play.
7:01 with the Series S you don't get the Xbox One X enhancements in backward compatible games or Xbox One games even I believe and obviously no disc drive, also in many games you get lesser graphics (mainly resolution) so it's not entirely better and more expensive, it is faster in terms of processing (higher framerates in many games) and faster in loading games so win some and you lose some, if you got the money just get the Xbox Series X and you get the advantages of both consoles!
Funny enough a year or 2 ago I finally made the plunge and bought my first PlayStation 3. Games were about $5 each for all the first party games I never got to check out from that generation like Killzone 2 & Resistance Fall Of Man.
Lovely video BBK - I've been offline for a LONG time now. I haven't plugged my XBONE since I left uni in 2021 but I'm about to move into a new flat in London (wow) and I think it's time to blow the dust off the old dog. Witcher 3 is a game I've had my eye on for a long time, going to try that and AC: Valhalla (I was one of the few that actually liked Odyssey!). Thanks for inspiring me!
You have uploaded that video at the right time. Recently, I've been thinking about getting myself an Xbox one X or S and some physical games that are not available on any other platform. I like the idea of building a physical collection. I have some ps4 games, some switch ones, and my shelf could use some more green colour around.
I needed two new Xbox Controllers for my PC and for about the same two new controllers would cost me I bought an used Xbox One S with one One Controller and a Series Controller in great shape. I'm in love with it, and now when my girlfriend or some friends come home she can play here and me on my PC for some co-op gaming. Even having a PC or a PS5 is a great great purchase!
You should do an extra video that compliments this one, where you give honorable mentions and suggestions for other games to get for this console that are cheap
I have a PS5 but bought a Xbox one X! Always loved the controller better on xbox... But the reason was I got it for $80, the Limited edition of cyberpunk, love it so far!
I used to have an Xbox One [Original VCR], I bought it on Black Friday 2019 for $90, and it got me through the whole pandemic. I bought an Xbox Series X from Gamestop on March of last year with money I put aside from work, I traded in my Xbox One and got store credit that I used towards RE4R. I own physical copies of Mirror's Edge and Final Fantasy XIII [and alot more Xbox 360 games].
i bought my Series S used in 2022 for 150€. I love the S but its missing a dics drive. I still have some nice older 360 games but cant play it with the Series S. I was lucky to found a One S used for 45€. I just swapped the HDD to a SSD and you are good to go. Love the One S
This video just came out just in time! I have a Series X and PS5 but I want to have the previous consoles for nostalgia/preservation purposes. So this is dope to have this kinda validation. I’m working on building back up a collection of physical games
Ya I recently bought a series X... on sale for $350.. and went from owning 3 xbox games to 83 in total in the past 3 months buying second hand from gamestop on their buy 4 for 10, 20, or 40 deals. I feel like the majority of gamepass is summed up by Majority Xbox titles -obv Ea titles - it's nice it's part of the subscription Ubisloppy seconds - ^ A few games from Some Sega Some Capcom The meat & potatoes on gamepass - that makes it worth $20 Indy titles - Fills on the roster, but they're the usually the best thing on gamepass. ^ Best feeling in reminding me gaming isn't dead and finding great games. I'm still need to add the some staples like Halo dishonored Fable Gears Fallout Elder scrolls Hellsblade Ghostwire tokyo Spyro Guitar Hero - ^ once I finish buying the staples I'mma move to the 360 to fill out the rest that didn't make it to the xbox one & up era yet. Majority of the games that I have for xbox aren't owned by microsoft atm like 63 out of 83 - 2k, rockstar, capcom, Cd project red, Ubisoft, EA, + a quite a few studios that I don't know off the top of my head 20 out of 83 - xbox now owns the rights
Yeah, but honestly if multiplayer titles are the focus than I'd look more towards a series s or x. The games recommended are singleplayer for the most part
I think Game Pass as a value proposition increases if you have buddies on it. Me and my friends probably wouldn't have bought D4, but since it was on gamepass we all sunk around 60 hours into it. If I can get 1-2 experiences like that, a single player game, and have access to all Halo/COD, and sports games going forward. That's a good deal for me. Game pass is definitely for a certain type of player.
Well said, and I like what you mentioned, it one hundred percent is for a certain type of player. My preference these days would be to rather own quite a few games that I can have forever or re-sell down the road, rather than the temporary nature of pass, but as you mentioned, it's a great way to try a game with friends
I just recently able to get the Xbox One X for $135, even they were selling it for $150 and I had to get it so I can play some of my Xbox one games that I never got to finished few years ago and also some of the 360 games that I wanna revisit, due to unfortunate red ring of death on my old Xbox 360 recently, sigh. Thanks for making this video since it convinced me to buy the Xbox one x since there is some great discount and also hidden gem games to try it out. (:
In the future you could make a video combining the exclusive use of xCloud, for example using the fire stick tv, in contrast to purchasing an Xbox one X and very good games.
Kinda seems like the whole point/vibe of this video runs counter to what the series S is, then advocates for it at the end. No disc drive means you're getting your games from MS store or from gamepass without any other options.
All the Xbox games I basically play I own. I solely have gamepass for the online access as it’s required. But you can buy the core version for only 9.99 a month. It gives you 25-30 games but will save you money if you’re not going to play them anyways. When something cool comes out (like stalker 2) or if you want to try a day one but don’t expect to play it long (black ops 6moght be 2-3 months tops) then you can change it to the 16.99 version for only the month and change it back. Will definitely save me on the blops6 aspect. Even stalker 2 I’ll beat it and probably never touch it again
I really enjoy this vid.as you have described my mindset. That's why I just bought xbox one x hyperspace Ed that has the ssd. I was wasting money on game pass
Bro I was literally thinking about playing my Xbox one earlier today and get this video in my feed. I was going to hop on my old save of Kingdom Come Deliverance since the new one looks good.
I've been doing something similar with PS5, I bought it but this gen of consoles doesnt have a lot of games and I didnt own ps4 so im catching up with ps4 titles mostly
If you can't afford to upgrade sure great options and will get you some games but when it comes to online games or updates eventually that'll come to an end. Best to get like $350 saved get a used series X or even like $200 for a used series S and just go from here.
I bought a One X for me and one for my wife so that we can LAN together. No Live. No Gamepass. Just playing games together locally like the good ol' days.
Just get a series s does 4k streaming and the games look amazing no loading for 200-350 its a great deal im i have 360 from back in the day i lve lost or give away my disks so but ilstill have my digital copies dont confuse Xbox with ps or nnintendo they wont delete youre games
Ghost recon wildland and Badlands just $5 on ebay along with Bioshock the collection. Everyone collection bad 360 games im going for cheap xbox 1 games this year and got 40 of them so far.
Yea it’s definitely worth it to buy or keep your console, Xbox 360 and OG Xbox games play beautifully and many times at far higher frame rates than the original.
The only problems I have for have an Xbox One X I’ve had since day one. Some games start up and freezes at curtain points. Like Black ops 3 will start up and get into a round of zombies and freezes and kicks me out to dashboard. Other times it does that at the main menu. I deleted the game and reinstalled it I troubleshot my console. It does that to a handful of games. Any ideas what’s wrong. The games work but some just freeze up.
@barfy75 To be honest... Yes, just to know I own the games rather than thru a subscription. Cause Microsoft can remove games from time to time. Plus they're cheap to own/collect right now & I can focus my series s for the new coming up games that won't be on the one x cause I own quite a few digital games that are xbox one on my series s.
Still play on Xbox One S once in a while and decided to skip Xbox Series. I mostly play on a Lenovo IdeaPad 3 $450.00 AMD 5500U laptop that I use for remote work and gaming. I'm really into low-cost hardware. I don't do Gamepass. Just wait a bit and buy games at a nice discount.
I LOVE all the TH-cam and reddit posts saying PS is king and Xbox is a failure lol. Makes me laugh hysterically...PS is so overrated its not even funny, and so is PC. Yeah, if like single player action-adventure games that all resemble the SAME formula then yes, PS is for you. But in modern days, it doesn't really matter which console you have or even if you're playing on PC. Most gamers don't care about the console/ PC vs console war, they're going to purchase the system that works best for them. It's dumb to have a stupid rivalry for no reason. Most of the people I know who claim they're "PlayStaion" only people...90% of the games they play are the SAME as what I play on Xbox.
unfortunetely mines power supply is El Fucked but I really enjoyed it more or less but honestly LOVE my PC so much more its just great as a more aggressive and competitive gamer I can really shine better with it, and the fact that its able to do anything is so great! but Xbox is a very good gaming option
Americans being Americans. While it looks cool to make that “awesome game list”… It’s USA/Europe eBay. When buying off EBay you’re scared of the quality of the products. Disk might be scratched. And more importantly… FIRST WORLD COUNTRY. A world were the supply has crushed the demand and therefore the availability of the 8th gen games have made their prices dirt cheap. However outside the US there might not be that many copies. I’ve seen DS3 to this day going at 30+. With DS2 scholar being the cheap version. And let’s not start talking about physical games on other consoles. The PS3 games are starting to cost a left leg. I had to buy MGRevengeance on the online store cause the physical was like a 4 times multiplier.
If Xbox’s strategy was to make everything cheap but durable, that could’ve worked. But the cheap prices are more because of how bad the console reputation has gotten. People want to own the things they buy and use them as long as they want. Xbox has never guaranteed it. PS4 did day one. So did PS5. But as long as it’s cheap now, I can’t complain too much.
Man o man i wanted a ps5 hell i wanted a ps3 when it came out but sony with these wild prices are not worth it for me...ill stick with xbox once again it seems....dear playstation well meet again when your not so expensive until next time my friend
I don't like e waste so I would personally advise just saving to get the best thing so you can actually enjoy gaming. I wouldnt even give my ex my old xbox one original when she asked to buy it. It ran games horribly. 😂
Series S made zero sense to me. No UHD Blu-ray. No storage upgrade tyat wasn't stupidly expensive. I kept my One X put in a two TB SSD from my PS4 Pro and bought a PS5. Xbox want to go games on subscription only. The only thing they have been consistent at is lying. I was a customer for nearly 20 years. I have both a JTAG and Xk3y 360. I back up my games to a library HDD and copy and delete to and from. I highly recommend getting yourself a modded 360. Even a simple firmware mod of a 360 drive that allows you to run copied games would be a benefit.
Another good reason to pick up either the Xbone or the Series S is that they can turn into emulation powerhouses. Enabling the dev mode on these consoles allows you to run and install various emulators, so you can have a massive library of PS2, PSP, N64, etc. games running perfectly. Could be interesting to research for a follow-up video.

That's why I think the S is a really compelling option, it offers a really great all in one, however for a steeper entry price. Just all depends on the person's budget and what they want to sacrifice for sake of budget.

It gives you 25-30 games but will save you money if you’re not going to play them anyways. When something cool comes out (like stalker 2) or if you want to try a day one but don’t expect to play it long (black ops 6moght be 2-3 months tops) then you can change it to the 16.99 version for only the month and change it back. Will definitely save me on the blops6 aspect. Even stalker 2 I’ll beat it and probably never touch it again
I really enjoy this vid.as you have described my mindset. That's why I just bought xbox one x hyperspace Ed that has the ssd. I was wasting money on game pass
still waiting for more Xbox 360 games for backwards compatible?
Cool video. Great content😊
5:18 Did you say "Portal 2" or "Portal too"? The Orange Box doesn't have Portal 2, just the first one
Bro I was literally thinking about playing my Xbox one earlier today and get this video in my feed. I was going to hop on my old save of Kingdom Come Deliverance since the new one looks good.
$200 can get you like 100 games depending where you look it will for me definitely I like a lot of 360 and Xbox one games
Where do you get games that cheaply?
Awesome video!
Great video as always
Just got one for £40 the original, planning on using it until i can afford a series x
I've been doing something similar with PS5, I bought it but this gen of consoles doesnt have a lot of games and I didnt own ps4 so im catching up with ps4 titles mostly
we hope to see new backwards compatible games soon?
I got a halo infinite Xbox series x, I bought it because of the power, and the amount of compatibility on games!
I have an Xbox one x and collect Microsoft rewards. I’ve had Gamepass ultimate for years and never paid for it.
If you can't afford to upgrade sure great options and will get you some games but when it comes to online games or updates eventually that'll come to an end. Best to get like $350 saved get a used series X or even like $200 for a used series S and just go from here.
I bought a One X for me and one for my wife so that we can LAN together. No Live. No Gamepass. Just playing games together locally like the good ol' days.
Just get a series s does 4k streaming and the games look amazing no loading for 200-350 its a great deal im i have 360 from back in the day i lve lost or give away my disks so but ilstill have my digital copies dont confuse Xbox with ps or nnintendo they wont delete youre games
Here's to Skate 4's launch success and prosperous future 🙏
i really like to play more Xbox 360 games and more original Xbox games on Xbox One/Series X so bad? 😢
Ghost recon wildland and Badlands just $5 on ebay along with Bioshock the collection. Everyone collection bad 360 games im going for cheap xbox 1 games this year and got 40 of them so far.
Yea it’s definitely worth it to buy or keep your console, Xbox 360 and OG Xbox games play beautifully and many times at far higher frame rates than the original.
I have the series X and this benefits me too, right
The only problems I have for have an Xbox One X I’ve had since day one. Some games start up and freezes at curtain points. Like Black ops 3 will start up and get into a round of zombies and freezes and kicks me out to dashboard. Other times it does that at the main menu. I deleted the game and reinstalled it I troubleshot my console. It does that to a handful of games. Any ideas what’s wrong. The games work but some just freeze up.
I have the OG xbox one this year, I've been beating so many single player games.
Underrated
Is the One X worth picking up despite me having a Series S?
Depends if getting physical games on the cheap appeals. If you're not wanting to do that, then no, stick with what you have.
@barfy75 To be honest... Yes, just to know I own the games rather than thru a subscription. Cause Microsoft can remove games from time to time. Plus they're cheap to own/collect right now & I can focus my series s for the new coming up games that won't be on the one x cause I own quite a few digital games that are xbox one on my series s.
Idk why but it urks me that most of what makes xbox one great is the backwards compatible games. PS2/3 & 360 are goated its not even close
PSA you can use Series controllers on the XBOX One
Still play on Xbox One S once in a while and decided to skip Xbox Series. I mostly play on a Lenovo IdeaPad 3 $450.00 AMD 5500U laptop that I use for remote work and gaming. I'm really into low-cost hardware. I don't do Gamepass. Just wait a bit and buy games at a nice discount.
Awesome 😊
I don't think gamepass is for everyone. I mainly buy old games for cheap. A lot of games are cross gen.
I do have a new console, though.
sup BBK
I only got a xbox series x cause I only payed 300 dollars cause Meijer was having a sale so I got one for my friend as well.
I want a xbox one x 😔
I LOVE all the TH-cam and reddit posts saying PS is king and Xbox is a failure lol. Makes me laugh hysterically...PS is so overrated its not even funny, and so is PC. Yeah, if like single player action-adventure games that all resemble the SAME formula then yes, PS is for you. But in modern days, it doesn't really matter which console you have or even if you're playing on PC. Most gamers don't care about the console/ PC vs console war, they're going to purchase the system that works best for them. It's dumb to have a stupid rivalry for no reason. Most of the people I know who claim they're "PlayStaion" only people...90% of the games they play are the SAME as what I play on Xbox.
Can you play Skate 3 on Xbox one
Xbox One X is the best model of the Xbox One and it almost has the same specs as the Xbox Series X!!!
You can find a Series S for $200 if you're fine with digital-only
Picked 1 up 2 weeks ago for $75
This is why i have stuck with PC all these years, too many games, too many way to get games, and also emulation.
unfortunetely mines power supply is El Fucked but I really enjoyed it more or less but honestly LOVE my PC so much more its just great as a more aggressive and competitive gamer I can really shine better with it, and the fact that its able to do anything is so great! but Xbox is a very good gaming option
Can it play new black opps zombies
Good
Americans being Americans.
While it looks cool to make that “awesome game list”…
It’s USA/Europe eBay.
When buying off EBay you’re scared of the quality of the products. Disk might be scratched.
And more importantly… FIRST WORLD COUNTRY. A world were the supply has crushed the demand and therefore the availability of the 8th gen games have made their prices dirt cheap.
However outside the US there might not be that many copies. I’ve seen DS3 to this day going at 30+. With DS2 scholar being the cheap version.
And let’s not start talking about physical games on other consoles. The PS3 games are starting to cost a left leg.
I had to buy MGRevengeance on the online store cause the physical was like a 4 times multiplier.
I still have the og xbox one
Too bad you cant play jet set radio future on the Xbox one x
If Xbox’s strategy was to make everything cheap but durable, that could’ve worked. But the cheap prices are more because of how bad the console reputation has gotten. People want to own the things they buy and use them as long as they want. Xbox has never guaranteed it. PS4 did day one. So did PS5. But as long as it’s cheap now, I can’t complain too much.
I would rather own my masters no gamepass for me anymore especially since I don’t own the games it exceeds the cost per year if I just buy my games
Man o man i wanted a ps5 hell i wanted a ps3 when it came out but sony with these wild prices are not worth it for me...ill stick with xbox once again it seems....dear playstation well meet again when your not so expensive until next time my friend
I don't like e waste so I would personally advise just saving to get the best thing so you can actually enjoy gaming. I wouldnt even give my ex my old xbox one original when she asked to buy it. It ran games horribly. 😂
You don't like e waste but wouldn't sell your old OG Xbox one when it could be used by somebody else?
Series S made zero sense to me. No UHD Blu-ray. No storage upgrade tyat wasn't stupidly expensive.
I kept my One X put in a two TB SSD from my PS4 Pro and bought a PS5.
Xbox want to go games on subscription only. The only thing they have been consistent at is lying. I was a customer for nearly 20 years.
I have both a JTAG and Xk3y 360.
I back up my games to a library HDD and copy and delete to and from.
I highly recommend getting yourself a modded 360. Even a simple firmware mod of a 360 drive that allows you to run copied games would be a benefit.
