I'm going to be upgrading to the Xbox One X once it releases later this year, and am looking to be selling or trading in my One S towards the One X. Cex are currently buying a One S storm grey 500gb fo $207, and it's a lot better than EB's $150 trade in value. How exactly do you sell to CeX? Do you send it in the mail, or sell it in store? Thanks.
PS. If anyone knows any other ways I will be able to sell it, please let me know thanks.
Why get the Xbox One X? None of it's titles aren't being released on PC, Microsoft have been shutting down game development studios and doing a lot of shady business tactics. They don't deserve any support from the consumers IMO.
The controller works fine with PC, get a gaming rig for better performance (despite the "impressive" specs, PC is still stronger and will have better results consistently) and you save money in the long run with games being considerably cheaper.
Ebay is my go to for selling these kinds of products.
This item is currently being sold for $270 on average.
Ebay fees would be about $32, making it still better than selling anywhere else.
Yeah, I understand what you're getting at. The one x just has really good specs, and you just can't build a new gaming pc with the same power for under $650. Microsoft even sell this at a loss, so I don't think it's very shady.
Comparing this to Sony, selling the PS Pro for $600, saying it's a '4k' machine, when it's just upscaled, seems a lot more shady than this to me.
Anyways, main reason I am buying it is because I have a 4k tv, KS8000 to be specific, and I don't really watch a lot of 4k content on it, so I am just pairing it with a One X to make the most out of it. That's all I have to say really.
Microsoft is selling the Xbox One X at a profit. The "loss" is NOT a loss in the hardware… its their massive marketing budget. So basically they're making the device for around $450-$550, selling it for $650, but spending a lot of money on advertisement. Despite what you and I think, usually the marketing works, and it causes more purchases.
The hardware isn't as impressive as you may think. A mid-range PC will crush it.
And a Gaming PC is cheaper… you just pay more upfront, but in time, its the cheaper buy.
It's like buying a phone outright and using a BYO/SIM connection, as opposed to signing a 24month phone contract.
Sorry, but I really don't think they're losing money because of advertising. I've pretty much seen nothing about the One X outside of E3. They also have R&D, Quality control, manufacturing, and exporting costs. I'm almost certain they're selling this at a loss, but Xbox live makes up for that with their subscription service.
I've also built myself a very large library of xbox games, so I don't wanna have to rebuy the games on PC
@OzBMate629:
If it works for you, sure.
But the sooner you switch to the PC platform, the better it is.
Since each generation you upgrade…. you take your games with you!
When the Xbox Two comes out there's a good chance none of the Xbox One games will work on it. And you will have to wait for Microsoft to release the games by porting them over, and probably re-purchasing them.
Probably.
And being on the PC Platform means you're on the cutting edge, so you will have access to features not available yet on console. For instance; online multiplayer, in-game chat, voice chat, gameplay upload, streaming, multitasking, VR… all things that consoles inherited after PC Games. The graphics are usually better on PC Gaming, and sometimes for long durations, like comparing 2012 Gaming PC (2500k, 32GB DDR3-2133, SSD, GTX 680-4GB) to the 2016 PS4 Pro. And overall, its still cheaper!
I don't have much time for video games these days, but I implore people to look rationally at the PC Gaming market.
Beside all the jokes, the master race really can justify their standing.
@Kangal:
I get what you're saying, PC's are a lot more advanced than consoles, can do multiple tasks at once, better games etc.
Yes, I myself personally prefer PC to console, but it takes a lot of money to start off with, even if it may be cheaper in the long run. Once I have a better income, ($10 at maccas as a 15 year old) I will get a pc, but right now it takes too long for me to save up for one.
phil Spencer, head of Xbox, has spoken at length recently that you will be able to take your games library with you onto future consoles and that he considered it to be a big mistake not to have started that this generation.
@Jamie007:
Don't trust him, he has no say when it comes to numero dos.
They will do whatever they think is the most profitable. They always do.
They have an obligation first to their share holders, as sad as that is….
With the PC Platform you don't have to worry about this, because the "power"/right is in your hands, and so you decide… it is not decided for you.
They are fantastic, used them many times. Twice they actually upgraded the condition of phones I'd sent them and gave me more money than I listed them for. They also pay for all shipping.
It's easy as anything, go to the store site, search for what you're trying to sell, click on "I want to sell one of these" and it's added to your cart. Add in everything you want to sell, go to checkout and they give you a postage paid address and an order number. Send it off, recieve money about five days later. Easy as that.
