if you're into retro stuff, I highly recommend getting this one: Access Denied

Rare Replay has Banjo Kazooie games from the N64!

And as I said before, if you don't buy digital games in general, then just buy used. No sense in buying new Xbox One games if the games are being downloaded off the internet when you put the disc in, unless new games are cheaper.

I buy off eBay a lot, but GameStop has buy 2 get 2 free on used games under $10, so that's a pretty good deal right now.

Thanks I'll look into that, I was thinking maybe Red Dead Redemption 2 Just start off slow since I already have a backlog of games on my 360

Yeah, makes sense you're gonna start off slow.

I have never played RDR2. Only played the first one partially. It was a good game, but I got sidetracked by Skyrim and forgot to go back to it. lol.

Btw, idk if you know this, but there is Call of Juarez that is supposed to be a prequel to the original RDR. I have yet to play it, but I saw it on sale for Switch if you don't own it already.

just an FYI... some stores (e.g., Wal-Mart) have been selling open-box Xbox One's and trying to pass them off as new. I paid $500 for an Xbox One X and when I went to pick it up at Wal-Mart, the asshole customer service guy said it was never opened, despite me pointing out the pieces of tape that he used to close it again. The seals were definitely broken and he insisted that's how they were. But the box rattled, so...

I think you should make sure you have all the pieces/parts. Lots of consoles come w/ download codes in the box, and people will send the Xbox One back to the store after they've redeemed them. It's a common thing apparently. People also "try out" an Xbox One and then return it within 30 days because open box returns are actually accepted on the Xbox One consoles. I read about it on Reddit.

See here: New xbox one x had been opened and resealed. Is this normal? : xboxone

The asshole Wal-Mart guy refused to give me another Xbox One X, btw. He was like, "well, you have to order it online again if you want it. The ones in stock here are meant for people to purchase online and pick up." Ummm... no. So I told him I wanted a refund. He gave me a hard time and that's when I just went to Best Buy. No problems there.

Bought a “new” One S bundle, not sure if it’s actually used : xboxone

FYI: Make sure your new One X is new. Amazon sent me a used/open box One X that didn'''t work : xboxone

Yea. I was seeing this with the switch. Apparently Walmart has opened its online shopping market to third-party resellers, which allow the prices to be inflated. I noticed with this switch, when it was the 3rd party resellers, the switches were 200-300 times more expensive. And they were being sold by the actual place, like Walmart. Or even amazon.

That seems weird that u bought an X for 500. I bought an X at Christmas and it was 400 brand new. Makes me think they have inflated it.

Got my Xbox One X. My sister ended up buying that one because that’s what was available. Everything was included so no issues there or with the packaging.

Me too, I have a bad habit of starting games and never finishing them (moving on to a new one in the middle of it and so forth) then I keep buying new ones and my backlog of games just keeps growing lol, I’m trying to work on actually completing more for now though and slow down on buying them for a bit.

I’m debating on what to ask my sister for my birthday in 2 weeks. Between Animal Crossing New Horizons and an Xbox Live membership. I think I’ll ask for animal crossing then pay for an Xbox Ultimate pass myself.

Sounds good! Cuz animal crossing is 60 dollars and Xbox ultimate pass is like 25

[newtus]

I think u can buy an ultimate pass from like cvs, Walmart, maybe even a gas station.

Played some Red Dead Redemption today

Looking at games online getting ideas on what to buy tomorrow. I'm thinking Lego Harry Potter collection and WWE 2K18.

Check game pass games before you buy. I believe they have LEGO games on game pass. not the Harry Potter one tho. I think they might have wwe tho. It should be free to check. For like 14 dollars a month or less probably you can get xbox live plus game pass with hundreds of free games to play. And they are both new and old games.

[newtus]

And if u have live or game pass, you can get discounts on new and old games too.

I'll check out game pass eventually, I want to get the physical copies of the games for my collection

That makes sense! Sorry, I was just saying because I’d hate to see u spend money if there’s a free way. But I totally get it!
