My son's (12 and 14) and I are looking at getting an Xbox One or newer console
We are going to purchase it used to save money.
We are currently living in an RV while we are building our own house... So space is at a premium
Currently we have a 32-in TV that does 720p... But we'll probably go up to something between a 38 and a 52-in TV when the house is finished
Mostly we game on retro stuff, we have an Atari 2600, one of those Chinese Nintendo emulators that look like a tiny Nintendo, an OG Xbox, and a Xbox 360
We've considered a few different options
-Xbox One.
I found these for as cheap as $45, with no controllers, to as much as $150 with a couple controllers and a stack of games
-Xbox One s
significantly smaller than the original Xbox One, and it has an internal power supply for even more space savings... and I can usually find them for anywhere from $75 to $150... Sometimes they'll have controllers sometimes they won't...
-Xbox One X
I found these for anywhere from $70 with no controllers on up to $250 with a controller or two... It seems like this is a much faster gaming system than the one and the one s... And in certain circumstances even faster than the series s... It seems that adding an SSD is really the hot ticket for an Xbox One X
-Xbox series s
This unit is even smaller than the one s/x... And while it does have a technically slower GPU, it is better able to utilize the gpu due to its significantly faster CPU... Of course an additional benefit is the fact that it has an SSD from the factory
I've seen these go for as cheap as $145 with one controller to as much as over $300 with two controllers... Of course that's crazy when you consider I can just go to eBay and buy one for $230 with a controller directly from Microsoft
So which one do you think makes the most sense for me?
Thanks in advance
