Thinking of buying an Xbox...?

Not the latest all-singing-all-dancing Xbox Series X but a second-hand Xbox 360...  rubschin:

They are available cheap (€50 - €80) on ebay with games and all the accessories...

Or would an older Playstation be better?

Looking for something to waste time on while I am chair bound....

What thinks you Grumpy...?

PS I used to have an original Xbox in 2003 but I'm guessing things have moved on a long way since then!  lol:

Well I'll bow to Grump's view but here's my thoughts: I know what you mean as I get tempted every now and then but then I thinks 'cupboardware'
 
I've got a Wii that gathers dust and all sorts of action games on the iPhone I never use so just play Toon Blast way too much but it's free and doesn't have to dominate the room I'm in.
 
Well, whatever, nevermind

I sold my Xbox and my Wii... Just think a '360 might be good value for a few weeks before it retires to the cupboard...  whistle:

I used to have a 360 and it was a good rig, easy to fix when something went wrong as well. Although depending on how good a computer you have you could always move it to where you were going to set up the console and just get a controller for it. I'm running a mid gen i5 with an RX570 graphics card plugged into a tv and so far that's been more then enough to run pretty much everything coming out that I've tried without issue.

Either way I would check out xbox gamepass and try the months trial as it is only £1 and should give you access to a decent library of stuff to play although I'm not sure how much there would be for the 360.

Game wise for the 360 I'd recommend these having played them. With Skyrim and the Fallout games legendary or GOTY editions will also give you all the DLC content as well:

Skyrim
Fallout 3
Fallout New Vegas
Dead space
Assassins Creed Black Flag (Blackbucket rides again  whistle: )
Xcom: Enemy Unknown/Within
Red Dead Redemption
Batman Arhkam Asylum

Aside from Xcom and dead space they are all open world games so you can always just explore rather then follow the story. In Black Flag I'd stay away from the corners of the map until your ship is fully upgraded unless you like getting sunk................a lot.

The universe is run by the complex interweaving of three elements. Energy, matter, and enlightened self-interest.

Does that roughly translate to, "yes buy one"...?  rubschin:

I dumped my PC years ago...

I just have a couple of i7 laptops - which are reasonably specced (16Gb, SSD, etc.) but the display is obviously limited...

With the Xbox, I could permanently connect it to the 50" tellybox in The Day Care Room and conceal all of the cables*...

Check and see if gamepass is available for the 360 once you get set up, there is usually a trial offer of £1 for the first month which may keep you occupied for a while.
