I won one of these from a Goodwill auction for $20. It’s super dusty, but I was surprised when it worked perfectly. It even read discs perfectly too.

It's surprising what you can get out of the used market. You're going to run into some duds here and there (I've already run into 3 bad discs and a dud controller already in my adventures so far), but there's some great stuff out there as well. Sometimes, all a console needs is a general dusting and it is good to go. When I bought this console, the store hadn't even had a chance to blow the dust off of it, so while I was chatting with another clerk, the clerk took the console out back and gave it a good dusting before bringing it to me after. At the time, such consoles were hard to come by and they typically sold out quickly. It's not so bad now around here, but it was a rather interesting moment for me at least. Plus, the prices for XBox One games are quite reasonable (assuming you're not looking for mint condition or super rare games.) You can get some pretty good games for great prices - at least better than buying fresh brand new games at least these days. If my experience with the PS4, PS3, and XBox 360 is anything to go by, it's definitely worth it.

Congratulations on getting an XBOX ONE. The console deserved to be better managed. I remember working at Target during the PS4 and XBOX ONE Launches in 2013. The Target got around 30 PS4s for the launch. We ended up selling all of them before the lunch break. As for the XBOX ONE, we only got six consoles in for the launch. These were the early editions that included the Kinect. We only sold five that day. Personally, I think you'll enjoy Far Cry 6. Giancarlo Esposito gives a great performance as Anton Castillo. Sunset Overdrive was supposed to be an XBOX exclusive developed by Insomniac. Insomniac now develops the Spider-Man games for PlayStation. Seriously, GET MARVEL'S SPIDER-MAN! Finally, I downloaded an old PlayStation One game onto my PS5. The game uses the touch pad to act as the traditional Start and Select buttons.

Thanks! I'm quite excited to see what this console can do. Sucks that it didn't get the management it needed on the sales front, though. I do wonder, though, if that played a role in its popularity in some regions. Like, if someone walked into the store and there was no XBox One on sale, but a PS4, maybe there's a chance that some customers ended up buying the PS4 because of it being available. Hard to say if something like that would play a role, though, but it is an interesting thought at least. I'm already getting excited for Far Cry 6 then. Gonna get to two others first before I get there, but I am excited for it. I really am trying to get Spider-Man. I've been looking for about two years now to no avail, but I keep trying. If I can't find it used, I may have to wait until I get the PS5 before picking it up. I'm assuming it's a bit more available when it's new at least. It'll take me a bit to get there, though, but the effort is being put in for that game at least.

I hope you get a series x soon brother

Hey so about your controller you probably already know about this but you can hold the Xbox button and you can turn your Xbox of or you can do that when it’s off and it will turn on

@YourEraGamer

This was actually something I only discovered last week with the XBox 360. I wasn't really thinking and turned on the controller before I turned on the console. When I saw the console turn on on its own, it took me a second to realize what had happened. I thought, "Huh, I didn't know I could do that. That's pretty cool to know." I found this to be a really neat feature and it isn't surprising that it continues to be a thing with the XBox One. Hadn't tested that yet, but it would probably be something I would've tested once I got more into the gaming side of things.

You can also go into options and make it to where the button does not light up in case you find that distracting? Holding it for a certain amount of time will make the controller turn off without having to go to the options, and choose to turn the controller off!!

Xbox 360 notorious for not getting game updates in fact games shipped broken and devs couldn’t fix them. Also the networking was very limited only a 100mb connection.

@YourEraGamer

6 ай бұрын

I had no idea. I actually thought the updates happened to be smaller if at all. Didn't think it was because the games weren't getting updated at all. Well, networking for that console is a bit more limited now as the online multiplayer servers for the console are no longer officially supported as far as I could tell. I only use the internet on the console for updates and achievements which is fairly minimal I think. Didn't test web browsing on the XBox 360 mostly because I use other devices for that.

Interesting. I wasn't entirely sure what the plugin at the top was for. I looked at what I ended up getting with the XBox One and all I got was a power cable for the console and two HDMI cables (I bought this used). I'll have to look in to getting a power cable for the controller. Thanks for the idea!

There's only two things I can think of that would make you feel that way. The first possibility is the set itself. I don't have the financial resources to build an elaborate set to showcase hardware, so I'm basically making do with what I have. While I think what I have here is fine and at least allows me to offer a good look, I know that there are far better setups out there. The other possibility I can think of it is the fact that there are no jump cuts or editing of any kind. I don't have access to video editing to make it polished, create animations on the side, have text or images pop up, etc. Every video I do is done in one take because of this limitation. On both counts, I hope I can, someday, be able to afford a better setup to showcase this stuff in a more polished manner.

I still use my Xbox one X to this day also and it is my console with the most amount of games on it at over 500 all owned!! With game pass, it makes it astronomical and you sit there, looking at games, trying to decide what to play.. Sadly, they made updates that broke a lot of games on Xbox one X ! This happened when the series S and series X came out and a lot of developers never went back and fixed the Xbox one X version and so I feel screwed.. It took CDPR OVER A YEAR AND A HALF TO FIX BOTH VERSIONS OF THE WITCHER THREE BUT THEY FINALLY FREAKING DID IT?!?!! Games are still broken : Snow runner Devil May Cry 5 Wasteland three RDR2 (WAS the best place 2play) Assassins Creed Origins And many more …

It's the controller I happen to get when I bought the XBox One used. I didn't actually have a choice on what controller I got, but I had assumed that this simply naturally came with the console since it came together as a package. I can see it being possible that the controller was bought by the previous owner separately for whatever reason, then when it came time to sell it, just sold this particular controller with the console. If it's not the controller that typically comes with this console, well, I didn't know it at the time of the recording.

Modern stuff doesn't come cheap by any means. It's the primary reason why it took me as long as it has to get to this point. The pace I set for each console is a game every month. That is much easier on a console where you can pick up games for $5-$25 each. It's substantially harder on a console where games cost $60-$80 each. I'm currently attempting to work on a library where the console/games are newer behind the scenes, but the going is much slower because of the cost. I had hoped for a better financial situation by now, but COVID, global economic slowdown, inflation, stagflation, and other factors had, well, other plans for me. I hear the criticisms and efforts are being made to address such criticisms as we speak. Just need a little more time is all (hopefully, by around this time next year).

I wish I could fully explain my overall strategy which involves me getting this console, but I can say that you're going to be really happy with where I intend on taking this channel in the future if you are interested in the more modern stuff. A big stumbling block is, indeed, money as modern consoles and games can get quite expensive compared to older generations. For instance, here in Canada, a new title can run as high as $90 (sometimes, even higher in specialized circumstances). Meanwhile, titles on older generations can go for as cheap as $3. What's more, there is an inherent advantage to getting a hard copy version of the game vs digital which can be arbitrarily deleted at any time. This over top of not having to worry about emulation issues when playing older titles since I am in possession of the older hardware the games were originally designed for. Also, had I not bought this console, I wouldn't have gotten all this response from the KZread community in the first place which is a nice bonus. I'm currently in the process of more or less catching up to modern gaming. After a few years, I'm now largely going through the previous generation of consoles, so it's not going to take much imagination where I intend on heading next. At this point, I'm getting a broader understanding of how gaming led to the modern era which, in theory, will make me more knowledgeable about the newest games than before. Additionally, I use a careful strategy of investing in the background to enable me to pay for these things. The longer an investment has a chance to grow, the better (especially if you are constantly adding additional funds to the base contribution). Because of this, by placing modern games at the back of the line, so to speak, those investments will be given the maximum chance to grow, making it easier to afford $650 consoles and $90 games in the long run. It's a multi-year twin strategy that is very nearly complete and, hopefully, will result in even better and more interesting content soon. It may not seem like much being shown on the surface for some, but there is a LOT going on behind the scenes. :)

So you got the Xbox one S in this video but not the Xbox one S controller which was the best Xbox controller they ever made!?!? In my opinion, the Xbox one S controller is my favorite controller. It is the same controller that came with the Xbox one. X!! It has a perfect shaped Dpad, clicky shoulder buttons and the best force feedback triggers, as well as the best joysticks with the concave design with a pinpointed center and a lip going around the outer edge whereas on the Series controller, it’s just a concave design with no pinpointed center.. Having the controllers used AAA batteries was also smarter and more efficient than using a built-in battery that when it dies you have to do surgery on the controller to fix it whereas on the Xbox side of things, all you Gotta do is pop, open the case and replace the batteries inside?! Absolutely works great if you have a rechargeable battery kit and just have you some batteries ready to go? I always disliked the “flush design” on the start, and options button on the PS4 controller as well… I also dislike the fact that they got rid of the shoulders where the shoulder buttons are located, because this makes it to where, if you have big hands like the average gamer, who is older than 33 years, makes it to where you have to cramp your hands, holding those buttons while trying to run with the analog stick at the same time, etc…

When I bought this console, this was the controller that came with it. The console, cables, and controller was all used and it was just how this was bundled. Since the controller worked when I was testing the console to ensure that it functioned reasonably well, I had assumed, by the time I had recorded the video, that it was just the controller that came with it. Judging by this and other comments, that appears to not be the case from the sounds of things. Unless something goes wrong with this controller and I have to buy another one, I'm not sure it's a viable thing for me to buy the original XBox One S controller unfortunately, but it'll be something I'll keep in mind. You raise an interesting point about the batteries in controllers, though. Indeed, if it's a built in battery and something happens to said battery, then you either have to have it repaired in a painful process or buy a new controller. I didn't think of that, though I guess I should have as I had a PS4 controller fail on my pretty early on when I started playing the PS4. I guess that after I had bought the replacement controller, I had pretty much forgotten about it since the problem was solved about a year ago. It might have been a battery issue for all I know, but with AA batteries, those can be swapped out without a second thought. So, I'd say that's a really good counterpoint.

@@YourEraGamer yeah it’s not viable to try to find a good Xbox one S or an Xbox one X or for that matter and original Xbox one controller, which is also slightly different, at this point… Unfortunately, ever since Covid hit, it drove up the cost of all video game peripherals that came out before Covid hit!! I’ve been trying to find me a brand new Xbox one X controller for a while now without having to spend nearly $100?!?! It’s why I also have a series controller that I use with my Xbox one X now, but I still have my original Xbox one controller and I had three others, as well as a white one that came with my Xbox one S that I gave to my friends that needed controllers, and I wish I still had them but.. at the time I was trying to do something nice for one of my friends that needed a controller you know? Either way, it is because of the controller that made me want an Xbox one to begin with over the PS4 even though I got the PS4 first.. I like the PS4 controller, but it has more points about its design that I would consider negatives than it does positives? They gave it bigger handles but but because of the way the controller is shaped it works against the natural leverage of your hand as your hand grips something and this is something that the design people over it Microsoft thought a lot about when they were designing the Xbox one and the Xbox series controller because if you look at how the controller is shaped, and when you press one of the triggers all the way down, your hand is not cramped in anyway, and it creates a right angle in your hand. It works with the natural leverage of you gripping something!! it’s harder to explain than I would like, but that was my best attempt.. Great video man!

Microsoft made updates that made the disc drives stop working!!! My Blu-ray Drive on my Xbox one X no longer works and it worked all the way up until 2020 when I re-purchased Forza horizon three and play the game no problem and then they made a console update that broke the drive and made it to where it does not even recognize anything anymore !!!!! I don’t know if yours is suffering from the same problem? But I know this is what happened to mine because I only ever used it a couple times… 95% of my games are all digital and downloaded and because Microsoft wants to go this “all digital route” with game pass, and what not, I believe this is why they threw a wrench into the code to break everybody’s desk drive on their last GEN console? This would also allow them to drive up their numbers of people streaming games via X cloud?? It makes sense - At this point Microsoft and Xbox are Scumbags…
