Cheap xBox

[Sam.]

Hey.

 

I'm looking to get an Xbox 1 for Christmas, but don't want an X or S model. Can anyone suggest a cheap one I can order/buy in the UK?

You could get a refurbished original Xbox one

What's the most you'd be willing to pay for one?

Around £100, but less if possible. All I need is console, charging cable and a remote.

Is there a reason you don't want an S? If you can find one cheap, why would you be opposed? 

 

£100 is about $131 USD. I'm looking on eBay and XBox Ones at that price are certainly doable but you are cutting it really close. Don't expect anything in really good condition. I'm finding consoles with lots of scratches and signs of heavy use. Some don't even include controllers. The main thing is that the the disc drive works, obviously. Personally, I'd be very wary of buying a console that shows signs of heavy use. If the exterior wasn't taken care of, there is a greater likelihood that the internals weren't taken care of. Getting a system cheap won't do you much good if it stops working shortly after you receive it.

 

Is this something you are ready to buy right now or are you literally waiting until Christmas? If you are ready now, I can link you to some systems on the UK eBay site, otherwise, they will all be gone by Christmas so there isn't much of a point.

Having a look and I have found a decent xBox second hand from GAME. I will consider hat you mentioned, however. Also, the X is cheaper. But if I find a cheaper S I would get one.

The X is the new one, formerly known as Project Scorpio.

 

I haven't heard of GAME. Is that like Gamestop?
