    Usually you get them on a piece of cardboard with a scratch off code. They're still easy to sell.

    Think about it. It's $80 for a brand new, full warranty console with a better controller. Or you save a little money for a used one, with a used controller that has wear. These controllers don't last forever. If the other person used it regularly, you'll have to buy a replacement soon (my friend who plays daily goes through 4 controllers a year).

    Oh snap, I never considered the controller. Those are $50 each. I believe you have convinced me to buy new ! I think I'm off the fence now !

    Honestly, an old Xbox isn't worth $160. That's the price a Xbox One S should be if you're looking used.

    That's a pretty good deal. Sell the games and you're getting a brand new Xbox One S for $200, maybe less depending on what you manage to get for them. The Xbox One S also has a better controller IIRC.

     

    Plus, look at the size difference...in addition to the fact the power supply is internal, not external.

    Looks like those games are just downloads and not hard copy.

    It's not bad, but the new Xbox's can often be found with bundled games. I think they were selling for $249 with 4 games. Sell each game for $30, and you're at about the same price for a better console. You also have a warranty.

    I bought an XBox One S over a used Xbox, and I don't regret it at all.

    This is what's going through my mind ! The warranty is better than no warranty. The one i was gonna pick up is $229 cdn, no game. I can get one for $249 with a game, not sure what used games sell for.

    It'll likely get sorted out. It just came out on XBox a couple of weeks ago and the game is still in development. If you have a good PC though why not just buy an XBox One controller to play sports games?

    I'd like to sit back on my couch after work where I work on a PC all day and play on the big screen !

  5. I was thinking of picking up an Xbox One used for $160 cdn, roughly $120 USD. It costs $229cdn for a new xbox one S and I can't take advantage of HDR or 4k Blu ray, so I was thinking this may be a good buy. I want it to play pubg with a buddy at work and I also like sports games with a controller. But will the Xbox One be EOL anytime soon and do you think it is worth it for my usage ?

  6. How much should I sell my HD 7970 for ? It's a reference card if that makes any difference. Canada (about 30% more in prices than the US). I've found them on craigslist from $120-$160 so I'm thinking around there, but maybe $100 ? It's rather old now although the same as the R9 280x it a 4 year old card.

     

    Thoughts ?
