Xbox One - Should I get it??

So basically I'm still using my 360, which I have had since 06/07 ish. Can't decide whether I should get an Xbox One or not.

Since the price difference is only £40 (if that) I won't be going for a PS4.

I'm off to Uni next year and at 18 the heights of my 'gaming days' are gone so I'm unsure as to whether it would be worth investing around £380 on a new console alone. Only one of my friends has an Xbox One and the rest still play 360. Though a lot of them are thinking about getting one but it looks like an 'if everyone else does too' kind of situation.

I've also been informed that the 'Party' feature has been removed? I'm not sure if this is true but that would surely remove the social aspect I've enjoyed for 4-5 years of Xbox Live with my friends.

Anyway, I suppose I'm just wondering whether the in game improvements such as graphics are worth while, I'm not interested about the voice-command features and any Kinect stuff.

Looking for answers mainly from those who play online, as the likes of FIFA, Halo and Cod etc will be what I will continue to play.

Thoughts on the benefits/drawbacks of getting an Xbox One please!

You'll get be very busy at university, so you'd basically only use it during the summer, or when you're back home. Do you think it's worth it for that?

Go for ps4, better exclusives and multi-plats at higher resolution/frame rate. The controller is way better too. Also the game library on Playstation plus is a lot better than xbox

I'm not really fussed about the exclusives to PS4, the only exclusive game I may play is halo which is obviously xbox. I also prefer the xbox controller anyway, I find it more comfortable. I'm pretty set on which of the consoles I'll be going for (though there is room for persuasion if there is a serious put off to the xbox one).

Do many people game at uni?

Halo master chief edition!?

Is this even a real question!?

I'm primarily a PC gamer and I'm getting one just for the new Halo Anniversary that was announced. That's pretty much it.

I don't understand this obsession with Halo that gets people to the point they are willing to pay full whack for a whole new game which is made up of games they've already got, with slight changes...

I am. You seem to forget that when Microsoft killed off Xbox Live for the original Xbox console it also killed off Halo 2 Multiplayer. And believe me I can speak on behalf of the entire Halo community when I say I'm more than happy to buy a new system to fire that up again.

That and 60fps 1080p dedicated servers Halo 2/3/4 multiplayer? This is a huge deal. (as far as console games go).

Why won't somebody at university be able to game in the evening? It's not like you're studying or partying the entire time. The vast majority of people kill vast numbers of hours downloading and watching t.v. shows, so anyone can make time if they want.
