Should I Buy an Xbox One?

Hey Ozbargain,
After seeing how amazing Forza Horizon 3 is, I want to impulse buy an Xbox One. Apart from Forza, i don't know what I would play. I already have a WiiU if that helps.
Also, how much is it to play online?

Should I buy one now?

    Xbox One online is about $16.50 for 3 months or a bit cheaper per month if you pay for 12 months at CD-key.

    Don't go through Microsoft for Xbox live Gold if you want it cheap.
    There are plenty of games for Xbox one but mostly dominated by first person shooters, sports and racing.
    To answer this question we would have to know what type of games are you into.

    • im getting $16.50 for 1 month?

      • prices fluctuate on this site.It was $16.50 for both 1 month and 3 months before.

    The Positive - The prices are going down

    The Negative - As a Wii U owner as well paying to play online is kind of ridiculous and yet people still play!

    Verdict - Just stick to Nintendo

    • You get two free Xbox 360 games to keep for ever and one Xbox one game to keep while having an active subscription EVERY SINGLE MONTH. The online play is just a bonus.

    It's not an impulse buy if you are discussing it here whether to buy or not.

    Buy it and have some fun.

      And especially if you are only buying one

  • Battlefield 1 comes out this week too and it will be amazing!

  • Does this bundle look any good:http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/cedar-creek/xbox/xbox-one-for-sale-/1127075920

      Your link isn't turning into a link, so that's for others to easily see.

      The included games are worth stuff all, many people have practically given them away.

      Check the links below for 1tb bundles which imo represent better value compared to that Gumtree one.

      Look at the games included on EA Access. For about $40/12 months you get access to need for Speed, among others

  • I want to play rise of the tome raider, forza, nba 2k and maybe fifa

      The NX is to be revealed on the 21st of October

      • that soon? best to wait then. I guess its probably next year to buy though?

          Demo models in February and the actual release is in March

  • If you get one, try to get the One S, the gpu is like !0% to 20% more powerful and in a lot of cases I hear thats enough for games to actually hit there 30fps lock consistently where normally they might struggle to lock.

    Re: Rise of the Tomb Raider, I bought it on 360 originally and then xbone when i got one but i wish i'd stuck with the 360 cause the xbone has a controller delay so I kept missing headshots etc. When I transitioned over I found myself have to aim at where the target was going to be, not where it actually was. This issue is unfortunately only on the xbone one version.

  • Do it.

    Long term Playstation user, I also have a WiiU and Wii gathering dust somewhere. I bought an Xbone (Gears of War LE) recently primarily for Gears Of War 4 as I'm a long term fan of the franchise. Loving that, loving Horizon 3. I also picked up the complete Halo franchise (1-4, 5 and Reach) and Forza 6 for less than the price of a new title.

    It's a cool exclusive machine for me. It's keeping me busy until I get my new Pro in November and I can see me playing it as much my PS4 even afterwards.

  • I have a very hard time reconciling a purchase of either Xbox One or a ps4 slim knowing the Scorpio and ps4 pro arent far off.

    And for one game? That is also on pc?

    • the xbox one s can play 4k ultra hd movies as well
      lets not forget the scorpio looks like being a grand or more when it's released not everyone can afford that
      but unless there is some reason you need to buy now i'd wait for scorpio & ps4 pro to come out and that will push the price of the others down
