#XBOX ONE NO LONGER HOME CONSOLE SERIES#
Kinect slots into the back of the Xbox One, next to a series of ports including HDMI-in, HDMI-out, three super-speed USB ports, an Ethernet connector, S/PDIF for optical audio out and an added IR port. Plonk it on its side and Microsoft won't be held responsible for your discs getting scratched. Incidentally, this is a console designed to sit flat underneath your television set, with its Kinect sensor staring grimly out at the contents of your living room. Cast in 'Liquid Black', its top is split in half with a reflective surface on one side and a massive vent on the other. It's a 263 x 80 x 305 mm slab weighing about 3.2kg. In fact, it's a big, hulking brute of a machine that bears more than a passing resemblance to a Betamax video recorder circa 1984.
The Xbox One certainly doesn't look as sleek as Sony's PS4. From its hardware capabilities to the raft of current Xbox One games, T3 has you covered!
So to get you ready for your next big gaming purchase, we've broken down everything that you need to know when buying an OG Xbox One. So even if you're investing in an Xbox One now, you're getting a console that's slowly been re-evolved into a proper gaming system. While Microsoft has definitely lost the battle of the exclusives in this generation, it's already preparing for the next with a newly bolstered line-up of in-house studios. With the introduction of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate - an ever-evolving subscription service - you'll now have access to a huge library of games, including ALL of Microsoft's current and upcoming first-party exclusives. Kinect 2.0 has been abandoned, so there's no need to worry about having to buy an accessory you'll never really use. If you already know which brand you’ll choose, we also have separate guides dedicated to the new Xbox Series X|S options and the new PlayStation 5 options.The Xbox One was very much focused on gaming and while it lacks the hardware improvements offered by the later Xbox One S and the Xbox One X (such as support for 4K and HDR), the original Xbox One is still a powerful machine that can play every single game on the system, and plenty more from the previous two gens thanks to support for Backwards Compatibility emulation. The Xbox Series S has been moderately easier to find, however, and we think it’s a good alternative.įor everyone else, if you’re ready to jump into the next generation with the PlayStation 5 (disc or digital) or with the Xbox Series X or Series S, we've been testing both for more than a year now, and we can help guide you through the differences. If you see one of those consoles available with no price gouging, be ready to jump on it. A warning, though: The PS5 and Xbox Series X will be in short supply well into 2022. It also means they’ll be able to play the sequels to any platform-exclusive games they already love. Sticking with one brand means that they can still play the games they already have and connect with the same friends online. If you’re shopping for a console to give to someone else, we recommend sticking with whatever brand of console they last had (and saving the receipt). You can read more about the Switch (including the new OLED Model), and why it appeals to so many people, in the Switch section below. The Nintendo Switch is a nice console with fun games and few downsides, and it’s a favorite among Wirecutter staffers-both the casual players and the video game pros. The easiest console to find right now is also the most popular. Unfortunately, those previously owned systems are routinely selling for $300 or more at this writing, and new last-gen consoles aren’t being made. Although there are hundreds of great games to play on those last-gen consoles, we don’t think you should pay more than $200 for a used system. With stock issues continuing to plague both new console lines, even used PlayStation 4 and Xbox One last-generation consoles are selling for high prices on online auction sites like eBay. Which games you like to play, what level of graphics performance you value, how you play online, and even which system is available to buy all go into deciding which console is best for you. The next-generation PlayStation and Xbox were released in the fall of 2020, and if you aren’t already excited for a particular model, it’s a complicated time to decide what to buy.
