Should You Buy an Xbox in 2024?

Petition to bring back “hey guys this is Austin”

An Xbox is only worth it if you wanna save some bucks from getting a gaming laptop or PC which can play essentially the same games. Xbox Game Pass is a huge bonus thou!

As an older gamer the death of physical hits me right in the nostalgia. No more going round your mates and flicking through their shelves of games 😢

Honestly I think the push for marginally better graphics has made gaming so inaccessible. It's absurd how powerful of a machine and how much space you need to play certain games. Call me old-fashioned but I loved going to the store to get a new game and being able to play it immediately when I got home

As someone with a PC, I have an Xbox just for Backwards Compatibility

If Xbox has a game you want that PS5 doesn’t, get a Xbox, and vice versa for PS5, or get a PC so you have a computer to use and have sales on games or a Steam deck for something really cheap. There’s no need for people to get angry at each other, there’s benefits in all camps; if there weren’t benefits, it wouldn’t exist

Gamers introduced to online gaming in the seventh gen hold a fun memory of the 360. A bygone era

The thing that made me stay away from consoles entirely was paying to play online. I can play the same game on my PC without paying some sort of subscription just to play online.

I'm so sick of this "console war" like just enjoy what you want if you dislike a console or a company cool more money and power to you but you don't need to be a toxic douche and spread your hate and attack other users this goes for all platforms Nintendo Xbox playstation even PC (who I personally think is really bad with this but that's just me) but like what you like you like a Xbox cool you like Nintendo or PlayStation cool but you don't need to spread hate around I'm just so tired of this monarchy where graphics and frames are the only things that matter

It’s worth it perhaps for folks like me with hundreds of original XBox, 360 and Xbox One games on disc.

This is not the console wars anymore this is the microtransactions war.

Only issue for me is pc literally has everything. Xbox is only worth it if you can’t afford a pc.

I put over 3000 hours on my series X in 2023 and I’m on track to put even more on my series X in 2024.. I love my Xbox

Controllers with replaceable batteries is the best thing you can do. I don't know why people are so against it

Theres one thing that I still think is a huge benefit when it comes to consoles.. well two actually. One being the lack of multiple launchers for maybe one or two games that I like, and two the avoidance of sensitive data being harvested which your PC is bound to house more private data than your console. Many games TOS/EULAs say they will monitor you before and after you play their game, out-of-game-monitoring is sketchy AF and needs to be abolished but no one seems to care which is baffling, at least on console they will get very little data.

Great vid very informative. Thanks!

I got my first Xbox, the One S as a gift in January 2019 and been using Xbox as my primary since. Game Pass is a neat bonus, but not the reason I stuck with it. The consoles are quick, quiet and the ability to play your stuff everywhere is amazing. The free automatic cloud save between everything is incredible. And with xCloud and Remote Play I play anywhere I go without any issues. My internet connection is very stable which allows Remote Play to work just fine.

Honestly I was (and still to a point) am against all digital since at any time that data can be removed and you no longer have access to it, however, with 90% of the data needed to run physical media is digital it really doesn't matter if you have the physical media or not. You still can't run in w/o a large download.

1:10 I mean…the scalper situation was even worse with the PlayStation 5 at launch 😬

I’m a PC gamer and have a question regarding gta 6. As it will only come out on the consoles for the first year and I buy it on xbox will I be able to use the same copy and saves on my PC via the xbox app?
