    Right, I was going to wait until after my upcoming house move to decide but Amazon Prime Day made my mind up for me and I got an Xbox One S 1Tb with 3 games, 2 controllers and a vertical stand for £199 (a saving of £119).

    Thanks for all your input.

    The bonus is that half my old 360 games work on it as well.


    That's a great result, especially since controllers are listed at £45 each, and if they are decent games then the main console unit is looking like a freebie!


    I'm a PS4 boy at the moment, but the XBONE looks like a decent bit of kit and I can't completely justify having them both (especially since I have a 360 and PS3 too).
    (Although I could be wrong, I often am.)

    They were Sea of Thieves, Forza 3 and Minecraft (one of the controllers was Minecraft themed as well). I've always wanted to play MC so that is a bit of a bonus.
  • I think that the ps4 is slightly better graphics ,there isn't much in it .we have both consoles . ultimately I would look at the exclusive games for each particular console and use that to decide .
  • I used xbox 360 back in the days and now I am running PS4 for the last year and a half. Good run so far, solid graphics and awesome titles compared o Xbox, so I would recommend it.

    You're comparing an XBox 360 to a PS4 to draw that conclusion?
  • I had a similar issue. Thanks for sharing. Sounds interesting.

    xbox deffo before PS, no brainer

    I had both used then sold.
    Why is Microsoft holding cost of Xbox ones' be it disc or digital.
    This is pushing me to purchase a new ps4 again -209 with c.o.d. 2019
    Whereas I similar cost with a new xbox could be console+c.o.d. 249
    Haven't mentioned online gaming services yet....
    Though I agree xbox was my preferred of the two consoles -it's the youth games that put me off since I'm slightly older.
