I've also got my beautiful Xbox One S, the mainly reason why I'm still keeping it and I will be is backward compatibility and... Kinect. I love Kinect❤
"STRANGE" I just gotta say I love my XBOX SERIES X you don't know what your missing, you should just play a SUPER NINTENDO if you never upgrade....FACTS!
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
Exactly what I did! Got the vcr 1tb and 10 games for $150. Traded the controller and some of the games that came w/ it for a new series controller did a reset and a quick cleaning and it works great! Highly recommended this approach for casual gamers!
I got mine for $15 🤣 I already have a series x , was on eBay and decided to buy a listing of 2 Xbox ones , the original , in good cosmetic condition. No cables , no controller for $30, $55 on checkout . One was dusty and couldn’t read discs . The other was dusty and had a noisy fan . They got here I connected them and they both did work .

It’s basically digital only but I already have a series x for discs or blu rays if I need to pop one in .

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'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.
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.
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.
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 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
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
@@mikejett2733bought it off of a person that said her kids always get the new one so they wanted to get rid of the old ones cuz they were just taking up space. And she gave it all to me for 70€

@@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.
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
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.
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 RUclips but this will make your loading times way quicker and make games run a bit better on the Xbox One
@@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
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!
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
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 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
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!!!
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.
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!
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.
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
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.
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 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 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
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.
ZERO reason to with Series S's being dirt cheap and the Series X being a good value as well If Xbox One modding was easy (to play 360/Xbox One backups offline) it would be worth it however that's not the case
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
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!
Xbox series x has stellar compatibility for last gen games, but price wise Xbox one hardware is a great bargain right now. The games are cheap and fun, I’m still going back and playing a lot of Xbox one games I missed out on.
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.
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
Here why: 1 it has an amazing library of games 2: Xbox gamepass 3: is a amazing entertainment system with many apps 4: backwards compatibility 5: it’s cheap now 6: most games now are affordable in my opinion the physical ones in my opinion 7: cross play with some games 8:4k if your getting the one x 9: new games are still being released on it 10: exclusives dispite what people say Xbox has Exclusives. 10: if you own a last gen game and it’s also available on series x you can upgrade it for free instead ps paying like with the ps5 11: you can add Custom themes or backgrounds unlike ps5.
@@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.
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
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.
I’m saving up for an Xbox Series X, and after that I’ll save up for an Xbox One X to go in a different room. I’m not gonna save up for an Xbox Series S because fuck digital only consoles.
@@TTx04xCOBRA I’m sorry if I care about preservation and actually owning the shit I buy. No I’m not sorry. I still buy physical games and movies and that’s what the majority of my game collection is.
execpt series x games aren really physical either. There is no installation from it, maybe day one version but usually it downloads whole game from the store.@JaceAVinson So if one day series x servers shuts down like 360 did, the games doesnt do anything anymore. These new consoles are not psychical
@@JaceAVinson🤦♂️ Series X isn't A physical console when put your disc in it downloads the digital version 🤦♂️ so your really just playing the digital copy and I don't think you can sell them anymore. Let's sum up here your games can get dirty and break while mine works new every time. I understand nostalgia of physical disc but digital has many advantages over it. My Series X is 99 percent digital I only own 1 physical game black ops 3
@@gabrieljohnson1854 What are you thinking of? The Xbox One as it was when it was revealed? Microsoft changed the Xbox One after all the backlash and the Xbox Series X isn’t like how the Xbox One was suppose to be either. You can sell used physical Xbox games and you can use them more than once, and it doesn’t download a digital version because if you buy the game physically, you need to insert the disc every time you wanna play that game. The majority of my Xbox game collection and my game collection in general is physical games. All of my physical Xbox games work exactly the same as my physical games for other consoles and my physical movies. I play digital games too, but I will always prefer digital being an option, rather than a replacement. That doesn’t just apply to video games, that also applies to movies, TV shows, music, books, all types of media. With digital and streaming it can be taken away from you anytime and made not available at all unless you pirate it. With the physical version of a game, movie, or other type of media you actually OWN that copy. You can keep that piece of media forever. You can also sell that copy, return it, give it away, or let someone borrow it if you want to. Plus with physical you can get a used copy which can save you money. You can’t do any of those with a digital copy. Also look at what happened with the Wii, Wii U, Nintendo 3DS, PSP, and soon the Xbox 360. Eventually when these consoles are old, outdated, and discontinued. Their digital stores are shut down, leaving a lot of games that were only released digitally to become lost and unplayable for anyone who didn’t already have them. That happening to a digital only console would make the system USELESS. But luckily you can still buy and play a lot of games for those systems since they were released physically. Physical media is important for preservation. Also not everyone around the world can get a good internet connection, which you NEED for digital/streaming. You don’t need any internet to use a physical copy. I will ALWAYS support physical media.
If you're a little more technical and are comfortable taking the Xbox One apart, I highly recommend dropping in an SSD. The difference in the loading times and just overall responsiveness, even on just the home screen, is night and day. I did this on my old One X and don't regret it a bit. You can get a decent 512GB model for like 40 or 50 bucks if not less. Maybe that cuts too deep into the value proposition of such an inexpensive box, but if you can make it make sense, I wouldn't hesitate.
When my buddy bought a launch series X, I took advantage and bought his one x for a steal. Still one of my fav consoles and I honestly don’t feel the need to upgrade anytime soon
I just bought a NES OLED Switch because Xbox went away from physical media. I guess I finally am "that old" because paying money for a digital game that I always have to be hooked up to the internet really drives me away. Plus growing up and trading NES games was the way to go! With a digital game, I can't ever recoup any money. Thinking about picking up a second hand Xbox One (yet again) and keep that around for the Xbox games that I always loved.
My VCR is still my entertainment system. I run 2 TVs remote off of it it’s been money for the last 10 years. I’m not a big gamer these days though. I play forza and COD occasionally like 15x a year. But for Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, RUclips it’s the best. Also I know how to repair any issues that could ever come up.
I got an Xbox One S recently that a coworker didn't want, and it's been a blast rediscovering Xbox/360 games. XB1 games also tend to be even cheaper than PS4 games in my experience, so certain multiplat games like Maneater "feel" like Xbox games to me, if that makes sense. It's really nice to play exclusive stuff like Hydro Thunder Hurricane and the port of Guardian Heroes too. The load times ARE pretty crazy though, but I've adapted. XB1 is a system I let start up while I brush my teeth, warm up food, etc. 😅 Also, I DID have the Xbox One VCR first, and overall enjoyed it. Just moved to the One S since it was being given away. I gave my One VCR to a friend and he loves it.
The Xbox One has had a weird ressurgence in the second hand market. I got an Xbox One S for ubber cheap. It's a beautifully designed console. I've been playing mainly Xbox 360 games on it (the ones that are compatible) and I've played some of the exclusives like D4, Quantum Break and Sunset Overdrive.
My Xbox One S was an Impulse buy essentially, not much used, partly due to the laggy UI and it is weak compared to my PS4Pro. I was considering to sell it. I now replaced the HDD against a SSD, got a few games for it and now will I keep it. Partly because it is the only UHD/4K Bluray player I have. Good box when given a chance. And a SSD.
Having almost exclusively played games one the Nintendo switch since 2017 I have been entertaining exactly this solution to catch up on a lost generation off games before maybe splashing out for a ps5 to catch up on those exclusives.
The added media features were a good idea for Xbox one, just they needed to provide a message to the appropriate audiences. Gaming for gamers + cool media features, then sell it as a media box to those who might game occasionally or not at all. The Kinect bundle was a bad idea, and the always online was stupid.
I mean , i think it still has the power to keep up but the developers are lazy. Look at atomic heart for example , it almost runs just as great on the series x.
I got mine for $15 🤣 I already have a series x , was on eBay and decided to buy a listing of 2 Xbox ones , the original , in good cosmetic condition.

Anyone who is on a budget , I recommend the Xbox one, yes even the original model as I tested halo infinite on it and still works fine , that’s coming from a diamond 5 player on series x and now on the one occasionally. Great budget option for sure .
That’s awesome ! I got one for $40 in a similar fashion . I was on eBay looking for the whole thing but found a listing with just the console and power cable , no controller or hdmi. But I also had a couple of those laying around so I went for it and it worked great ! I couldn’t believe there could be better deals but you definitely win , you got an Xbox for basically $15 and made $140 on the other , that’s just genius 🤠👍🏽 Kuddos
The last Xbox I owned up until recently was the OG Xbox. Well I ran into an Xbox 360 in a Goodwill for 50 bucks and it came with two controllers and all the cables. And a hidden game inside. Well I got it and I wanted to play all the old games that I missed from not having that plus other games that I could play when I had my PS3. Well about 3 weeks after it got red ringed. A super bummed in their head already bought a ton of games for it so I went on a hunt and was able to find an Xbox One. The optical drive was bad so I ordered a new one but just replace the laser since that was the easiest way without having to solder anything. And I have to say I do like the Xbox interface a lot better than the PS interface. And so far it's been going very well. I'm playing mass effect one not the legendary version right now. Good times.
i collect consoles so i have an S and an X, if you collect get one, even boxed they are cheap and if you have retired your 360, there are a lot of games to play on xbox one
In modern day the xbox one has some features that modern console have / don’t. Think of it as a 4/1 with the xbox one you can play last gem games, music CDs and blue ray movies.
The problem with Xbox One is its age newer games are releasing as current gen only leaving Xbox one behind and if Xbox one is included there's tons of problems look at cyberpunk 2077 it runs above 60 fps on my Series X at near 4k(1800p) with no problems or bugs on Xbox one it crashes it dips into 20 fps and freezes constantly. If you buy Xbox One in 2024 don't get mad when you run into A bunch of problems.
you can buy a series s for just a little more money or even the the same price on rare occasions seconhand market, the xbox one is not worth it, go for a series s, even if a little more expensive you get so much more (full access to the new generation, faster loading speeds, better graphing and framrates for a lot of xbox one games, etc). The extra stuff you get well worth the money.
This summer I bought an Xbox One X for the equivalent of about $100 and tried Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. Can't imagine a gaming experience with better value for money.
I got an Xbox One about a year ago. Base model.
I got a Series X a couple months ago and gave my little sister the One. She LOVES it.

Exactly what I did! Got the vcr 1tb and 10 games for $150. Traded the controller and some of the games that came w/ it for a new series controller did a reset and a quick cleaning and it works great! Highly recommended this approach for casual gamers!

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'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.
As a p.c. with also with a 4O70 planning on getting Xbox to play 360 games since emulation isn't perfect yet
Same, only have a PC but was thinking about getting an xbox one x to play xbox one and 360 games

What X box’s do you not need WiFi for?
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.
Dang thats a cute story
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.

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.
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 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.

@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
@@50kkk89 on the series X you can too
The Xbox One S was my first Xbox console. Loved the backwards compatibility
Not to mention the library it has or the backwards compatibile games going all the way back to the OG Xbox.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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
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.
What if you just buy every Xbox in existence then you don’t even have to bear the option in your head

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.
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.

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 love your videos thank you for putting so much effort into them
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 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
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!!!
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.
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!
Series x is a beast
If you want the physical disc its always worth it
I have a Xbox one x for 100€ and I think it’s a very good upgrade from ps4
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.
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
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.
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 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 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
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.
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
ZERO reason to with Series S's being dirt cheap and the Series X being a good value as well

Irs super easy to install a sata ssd and replace the thermal paste on the consoles. Definitely consider at least the sata ssd a mod.
@joshmcgootermier2301 The average person isn't messing with the interiors of a console, soft modding is what gets people interested
Thanks, love the vid
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
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!

Xbox series x has stellar compatibility for last gen games, but price wise Xbox one hardware is a great bargain right now. The games are cheap and fun, I’m still going back and playing a lot of Xbox one games I missed out on.
Awesome points. Time to dust off the ol VCR
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.
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
Here why: 1 it has an amazing library of games 2: Xbox gamepass 3: is a amazing entertainment system with many apps 4: backwards compatibility 5: it’s cheap now 6: most games now are affordable in my opinion the physical ones in my opinion 7: cross play with some games 8:4k if your getting the one x 9: new games are still being released on it 10: exclusives dispite what people say Xbox has Exclusives. 10: if you own a last gen game and it’s also available on series x you can upgrade it for free instead ps paying like with the ps5 11: you can add Custom themes or backgrounds unlike ps5.

@@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.

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

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.

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.

These new consoles are not psychical
@@JaceAVinson🤦♂️ Series X isn't A physical console when put your disc in it downloads the digital version 🤦♂️ so your really just playing the digital copy and I don't think you can sell them anymore. Let's sum up here your games can get dirty and break while mine works new every time. I understand nostalgia of physical disc but digital has many advantages over it. My Series X is 99 percent digital I only own 1 physical game black ops 3
@@gabrieljohnson1854 What are you thinking of? The Xbox One as it was when it was revealed?
Microsoft changed the Xbox One after all the backlash and the Xbox Series X isn’t like how the Xbox One was suppose to be either.
You can sell used physical Xbox games and you can use them more than once, and it doesn’t download a digital version because if you buy the game physically, you need to insert the disc every time you wanna play that game.
The majority of my Xbox game collection and my game collection in general is physical games. All of my physical Xbox games work exactly the same as my physical games for other consoles and my physical movies.
I play digital games too, but I will always prefer digital being an option, rather than a replacement. That doesn’t just apply to video games, that also applies to movies, TV shows, music, books, all types of media.
With digital and streaming it can be taken away from you anytime and made not available at all unless you pirate it. With the physical version of a game, movie, or other type of media you actually OWN that copy. You can keep that piece of media forever.
You can also sell that copy, return it, give it away, or let someone borrow it if you want to. Plus with physical you can get a used copy which can save you money. You can’t do any of those with a digital copy.
Also look at what happened with the Wii, Wii U, Nintendo 3DS, PSP, and soon the Xbox 360. Eventually when these consoles are old, outdated, and discontinued. Their digital stores are shut down, leaving a lot of games that were only released digitally to become lost and unplayable for anyone who didn’t already have them. That happening to a digital only console would make the system USELESS. But luckily you can still buy and play a lot of games for those systems since they were released physically. Physical media is important for preservation.
Also not everyone around the world can get a good internet connection, which you NEED for digital/streaming. You don’t need any internet to use a physical copy.
I will ALWAYS support physical media.
I tend to cloud game more on a small screen. E.g. mobile. I’m tempted to upgrade my Xbox one with an ssd. Speed up boot time at least.
If you're a little more technical and are comfortable taking the Xbox One apart, I highly recommend dropping in an SSD. The difference in the loading times and just overall responsiveness, even on just the home screen, is night and day. I did this on my old One X and don't regret it a bit. You can get a decent 512GB model for like 40 or 50 bucks if not less. Maybe that cuts too deep into the value proposition of such an inexpensive box, but if you can make it make sense, I wouldn't hesitate.
When my buddy bought a launch series X, I took advantage and bought his one x for a steal.
Still one of my fav consoles and I honestly don’t feel the need to upgrade anytime soon
I just bought a NES OLED Switch because Xbox went away from physical media. I guess I finally am "that old" because paying money for a digital game that I always have to be hooked up to the internet really drives me away. Plus growing up and trading NES games was the way to go! With a digital game, I can't ever recoup any money.
Thinking about picking up a second hand Xbox One (yet again) and keep that around for the Xbox games that I always loved.
My VCR is still my entertainment system. I run 2 TVs remote off of it it’s been money for the last 10 years. I’m not a big gamer these days though. I play forza and COD occasionally like 15x a year. But for Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, RUclips it’s the best. Also I know how to repair any issues that could ever come up.
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.
I’ve had the same Xbox for 7 years lmao
I got an Xbox One S recently that a coworker didn't want, and it's been a blast rediscovering Xbox/360 games. XB1 games also tend to be even cheaper than PS4 games in my experience, so certain multiplat games like Maneater "feel" like Xbox games to me, if that makes sense.
It's really nice to play exclusive stuff like Hydro Thunder Hurricane and the port of Guardian Heroes too.
The load times ARE pretty crazy though, but I've adapted. XB1 is a system I let start up while I brush my teeth, warm up food, etc. 😅
Also, I DID have the Xbox One VCR first, and overall enjoyed it. Just moved to the One S since it was being given away. I gave my One VCR to a friend and he loves it.
Series S is still solid for cod, and all the games made for it are peak ngl
Arent these prone to messing up cause of faulty hardware hence the low value? Still a steal but id hate to have it crash and lose all games and data
The Xbox One has had a weird ressurgence in the second hand market. I got an Xbox One S for ubber cheap. It's a beautifully designed console. I've been playing mainly Xbox 360 games on it (the ones that are compatible) and I've played some of the exclusives like D4, Quantum Break and Sunset Overdrive.
My Xbox One S was an Impulse buy essentially, not much used, partly due to the laggy UI and it is weak compared to my PS4Pro. I was considering to sell it.
I now replaced the HDD against a SSD, got a few games for it and now will I keep it. Partly because it is the only UHD/4K Bluray player I have. Good box when given a chance. And a SSD.
Having almost exclusively played games one the Nintendo switch since 2017 I have been entertaining exactly this solution to catch up on a lost generation off games before maybe splashing out for a ps5 to catch up on those exclusives.
I think everyone should own an XBOX ONE. One of my all time favorite Xbox'.
The added media features were a good idea for Xbox one, just they needed to provide a message to the appropriate audiences. Gaming for gamers + cool media features, then sell it as a media box to those who might game occasionally or not at all. The Kinect bundle was a bad idea, and the always online was stupid.
I mean , i think it still has the power to keep up but the developers are lazy. Look at atomic heart for example , it almost runs just as great on the series x.
To me xbox always had a better feel than Ps
I got mine for $15 🤣 I already have a series x , was on eBay and decided to buy a listing of 2 Xbox ones , the original , in good cosmetic condition. No cables , no controller for $30, $55 on checkout . One was dusty and couldn’t read discs . The other was dusty and had a noisy fan . They got here I connected them and they both did work . I cleaned the one with noisy fan , replaced the fan , paired it with a controller I already had and nb2k17 and madden 17 and sold it on offer up for $140 🤠 I cleaned the one that was dusty and couldn’t read disc and decided to keep it ! It’s basically digital only but I already have a series x for discs or blu rays if I need to pop one in . I already have gamepass , couple of series controllers , so this was a come up in disguise lol still functions well and it freed up space on my series x since I’m using the Xbox one for only Xbox one and 360 and original Xbox games , leaving me more space on my series x for series x/s games only . Anyone who is on a budget , I recommend the Xbox one, yes even the original model as I tested halo infinite on it and still works fine , that’s coming from a diamond 5 player on series x and now on the one occasionally. Great budget option for sure .
That’s awesome ! I got one for $40 in a similar fashion . I was on eBay looking for the whole thing but found a listing with just the console and power cable , no controller or hdmi. But I also had a couple of those laying around so I went for it and it worked great ! I couldn’t believe there could be better deals but you definitely win , you got an Xbox for basically $15 and made $140 on the other , that’s just genius 🤠👍🏽 Kuddos
I picked up an extra Xbox one 2016 fat model for 45 bucks and an elite 2 controller
Because I’m poor
The last Xbox I owned up until recently was the OG Xbox. Well I ran into an Xbox 360 in a Goodwill for 50 bucks and it came with two controllers and all the cables. And a hidden game inside. Well I got it and I wanted to play all the old games that I missed from not having that plus other games that I could play when I had my PS3. Well about 3 weeks after it got red ringed. A super bummed in their head already bought a ton of games for it so I went on a hunt and was able to find an Xbox One. The optical drive was bad so I ordered a new one but just replace the laser since that was the easiest way without having to solder anything. And I have to say I do like the Xbox interface a lot better than the PS interface. And so far it's been going very well. I'm playing mass effect one not the legendary version right now. Good times.
i collect consoles so i have an S and an X, if you collect get one, even boxed they are cheap and if you have retired your 360, there are a lot of games to play on xbox one
In modern day the xbox one has some features that modern console have / don’t. Think of it as a 4/1 with the xbox one you can play last gem games, music CDs and blue ray movies.
The problem with Xbox One is its age newer games are releasing as current gen only leaving Xbox one behind and if Xbox one is included there's tons of problems look at cyberpunk 2077 it runs above 60 fps on my Series X at near 4k(1800p) with no problems or bugs on Xbox one it crashes it dips into 20 fps and freezes constantly. If you buy Xbox One in 2024 don't get mad when you run into A bunch of problems.
you can buy a series s for just a little more money or even the the same price on rare occasions seconhand market, the xbox one is not worth it, go for a series s, even if a little more expensive you get so much more (full access to the new generation, faster loading speeds, better graphing and framrates for a lot of xbox one games, etc).
The extra stuff you get well worth the money.
This summer I bought an Xbox One X for the equivalent of about $100 and tried Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. Can't imagine a gaming experience with better value for money.
Your video was so convincing that I went out and bought one. Only one problem, I already have one.
