Is it worth buying an xbox 1? (Already own PC)

Not at all

Yes

Depends how cheap you can get one for, bear in mind whilst future Xbox games will all be on pc - there are still some masterpieces or great games like Gears of war 2,3, Sunset Overdrive, Halo, Older Forza games which can only be played on Xbox one and backwards compatibility.

No one ever said this.

@rader60 Id just wait for Scorpio. Its coming out next year.

If you like Halo, Forza Motorsport and / or Gears, then yes.

For sure as PC and Xbox is the perfect combo.

I think it's great there is at least one of these threads on SW each day. My advice would be to look at the games on offer for the xbox one and then base your decision on that.

To watch bluray movies, yes. For ANYTHING else or if you don't own a 4k tv, f*ck no.

perfect HAHAHAH you funny

Depends, do you plan on watching 4K blu-rays? otherwise not really

Unless you play Halo, nope.

Shit... That's not even funny, it's just true.

The most redundant combo ever.

Most games will be multiplat except for maybe Halo. And I expect there to be a big growth in cross play between Xbox One/Scorpio and PC. I'd wait to see how this pans out before wasting your money TC. Just to add context, I got an Xbox One at launch, decided to upgrade my PC when MS started dumping shit left and right (Kinect and exclusives), with a GTX 750 Ti (have a GTX 1060 now), and then eventually got rid or the Xbox One, it's a pointless combination. Don't regret getting rid of it for a second.

If you have to get a console, get a PS4. Or save your self some money and get a Steam Link, it's the same thing, play games you could play on your PC elsewhere. £40 Steam Link, £50 with a controller, or a £300 or whatever Xbox.

Unless you specifically need the console, (portability and access to Windows exclusives games?) then no

Well as always it depends on how interested you are into the exclusives. I own all systems this gen, but if I had to return one, I would return my xOne, it's my least played system (including WiiU, Vita and mobile)

What did I say what was funny? Not sure I follow.

Most Xbone games are on PC, so no

Translation: I need to feel better about myself, help me out guys.

This thread is silly, it depends on personal preference.

Id argue to just get all of them.

Unless you need a cheap box for another room (I have a One/Steam link my my bedroom) to utilize a tv, no. Put that money into your pc.

Yes, you should consider getting two before they're all gone. Everyone knows you use a PC for emails and work stuff not gaming, sheesh. lol :P

So? What if he wants to do Xbox Play anywhere feature? Hmmmm? Something Sony doesn't have.

PC IS REALLY GOOD RIGHT NOW

ps4/xbox one are very similar not much games :(

3DS is 2nd best with a PC

hopefully switch gets all wiiU games and 3ds games and the mobile games and ill just get that

Another stealth "lol Xbone got no exclusives" thread.

The PS4 has only two good exclusives, the rest are mediocre at best.

I dont see the point. They sound like thats not what they are going for

The first Xbox or the Xbone?

If you have a 4k TV and want a 4k disk player sure (specifically speaking of the xbone S) if not, no...lol absolutely not, you'd be better off with a Wii U for exclusives since xbone has none that aren't coming to PC.

I got the xbone and pc. Great combo indeed. I'm enjoying all the xbone exclusives...

If you own a PC, no.

No, save your money.

Only if there are games you want to play with your friends and they can only play on xone.

Do you want an Xbox One? Then yes.

Do you not want an Xbox One? Then no.

This is a terrible forum to pose that question. I enjoy mine, but that's just me. Individual experiences vary. What you'll get here are people who overly praise it, or people who've never played on one and hate it.

PC is part of Xbox. Civ 6 is my favorite Xbox exclusive.

It's not worth getting an Xbox one even if you don't own a gaming PC. May as well get a wiiU or a ps4 instead but you're be better off waiting to see what that Scorpio bollax is like or better yet, just buy/upgrade a good pc to game on.

He already has a PC.

Did anyone read his post? He said a bunch of his friends are buying an Xbox One and he wants to be able to play with them. Very few games are PlayAnywhere right now, so if he wants to play with friends on Xbox One, he will need an Xbox One.

Are you running windows 10? If so, then you're covered. If not and you don't plan on upgrading to W10 then get the X1S. In the end, no other human being can tell you what is of worth to you. I have a PC running W10 and still own an X1S because I have friends that will never game on PC and I like gaming with them.

@kvally: He said he knows people that own Xbox one, nothing about wanting to play with them. Did you read his post?

Getting the system isn't even the half of it, it's knowing what games to play.

@pelvist: Why else would he mention his friends and multiplayer?

If you want a 4k player, it's the cheapest on the market so get it for that. If you just wanting to play games and you have a good enough PC, doesn't make sense cause all the games is going to PC.

I only use my XB1 for NHL 17 and Forza 6 because I can not play those on PC. If you have a good PC, XB1 is a total waste unless there are still some exclusives you must play. PS4 is shit too because there are not many good exclusives. Mine is a very good dust collector. I will wipe off the dust when The Last Guardian comes out.

Take the $400 you would spend on getting the Xbone, a year of Live, and a game and buy a monitor with G-Sync or Freesync. Then run the HDMI cable you were using to your HDTV.

Congratulations, you just got a meaningful PC gaming upgrade and an XBox One for the price of an XBox One. Don't be stupid.

And I mean it. Don't be stupid.

If you're going to play a LOT of multiplayer with your friends, Xbox One's are really cheap now so there's no reason not to. If you won't be playing a whole lot, you might as well stick with your pc..

Did MS said all future Xbox games are going to be on the PC or will some stay exclusive on the Xbox Console? This point I am not sure on and I don't think MS has come out and made it more clear.

I think so, I'm grabbing an Xbox One S soon to go along with my PC. For me, I'll play all my games on the Xbox. And any online game, I'll grab on PC to play with my friends. Plus I enjoy earning achievements for my games, gives me incentive to fully beat the game

Unless you really love Halo, no. Now that the Forza and Gears of War series are being released on the PC, Halo is the only thing the Xbox One really has.

If you are looking for a cheap 4K Bluray player or Halo, yes, otherwise, PC is pretty much getting all it's good games.

Lol, of course not. The ONLY thing XB1 has is Halo. The. Only. Freaking. Thing. If you can do without Halo, you can do without Xbox.

The way to go is PC and a PS4 (or PS4 Pro). Sony has exclusives; PC has exclusives. Together they have everything.

Now, the Switch is a discussion for another day...

Because he might want to play with them of course. That's still not what he said though.
