Console advice please!

In my opinion Xbox is a bad deal period. All those games are on PS4, which has godly exclusives. If you want power, buy a gaming PC. Also next gen is quite close, in that regard it would be pointless buying anything until then.

Whilst this may be all true its a present and they really want it. If the next gen console comes out anytime soon they can trade the X and add money to get the new one..
Most of their friends on Xbox hence why they want that console.

Seems like a pretty good deal.

Hey all

I am looking to buy an xbox One X console.

I just wanted some advice. Do you think the amazon deal I am thinking of purchasing where you get the Xbox One X in white with 3 months Xbox Live and Game pass, Fifa 19 and an extra white controller for £430 is a good deal?

I was thinking of buying just the console from 'simply games' for £370 but not sure how legit that website is and I was thinking perhaps Amazon is more trustworthy?

The games that will be played is mostly NBA 2K19, Fifa and Red Dead Redemption.

In what way feel like I am paying too much

The free controller makes it a good deal?

Oh, you ARE paying too much, but all consoles & bits are overpriced, you'll always have that feeling in the back of your mind. As Matt said next gen is on the horizon and frankly this generation has been pretty lackluster (IMO it's become a case of 'how much of a markup can we sell this very limited functionality gaming pc for? will it help if we aggressively brand it as a lifestyle choice?')

I'm not saying don't buy one btw, if someone really wants one they really want one *shrug*

RDR2 in native 4K blew my tiny little mind.

Just being technical, no game is 4K. You need 4 thousand vertical lines, only your local cinema provides that.

And you remain technically wrong. 4K UHD is the TV standard, DCI 4K is the cinema standard.

Not totally sure whether this is in defense of consoles, PCs, or RDR2? :P

Everyone will have their own 'wow!' moments I suppose, I think I just grew up seeing bigger leaps forward

NES - Holy sht! this thing has a GUN!
PSX - Holy sht! this thing plays CDs! Games now have video and speech!
PS2 - Holy sht! this thing plays DVDs!
PS3 - Holy sht! this thing plays Blurays AND allows online gaming!

PS4 - 'well it's got more storage and it's a bit more HD' hmm.

? Erm, I gave you a technical fact. Perhaps you do some research instead of coming back with nonsense.

A fact with no supporting evidence is a claim.

A TV defines it as 3840 x 2160 or 2160p. Ultra High Definition is actually a derivation of the 4K digital cinema standard, true 4K (4 thousand lines) shows images in native 4096 x 2160 4K resolution. Ultra HD consumer format has a slightly lower resolution of 3840 x 2160.

Sorry if this upsets you.
