I Bought A Refurbished Xbox One From GameStop...And This Is What They Sent Me

  • As this generation is coming to a close I wanted to look back at the original Xbox One that released back in 2013, specifically how it was built. The overall build quality of the Xbox One was actually pretty good and Microsoft seemed to go over the top with the size of the system to make sure the failure rate was much lower than the Xbox 360. I decided to order a Refurbished one from GameStop as well to take a look at what they were selling.

      When Phil took the wheel he steered the ship in the right direction but by that point it was too late to save this generation. Everything he really has done has been setting up and preparing for the next generation.
      Not that there was much he could really have done by the time he took over but even with Phil if you bought an Xbox One you kinda got screwed over.

      How so?
      I have both a PS4 and Xbone and I throughly enjoy both.
      If a lot of third party titles were exclusive to Playstation, then I could see Xbox players being "screwed over".
      The over reliance on the Kinect and charging 100 more was a bad call. As was cancelling Scalebound. That game looked really sweet and was from Platinum games too. 🙁
      EDIT: I guess it depends on your "flavor" when it comes to the exclusives. Both consoles have some good ones, but I don't think every exclusive released on either platform is a slam dunk sotospeak.

    I was dumbfounded by Don Mattrick said that during his interview with Geoff. It was one of the most tone deaf remarks from a company trying to convince people on the then-current generation to upgrade. It makes me wonder if that led to his eventual departure from the company. Xbox really started off this generation several laps down in the race to get into gamers' homes.

      John Mecca That's because both consoles were underpowered. The PS4 was just slightly stronger, allowing its ports to be higher frame rate/resolution in some instances.
      The difference wasn't anything noteworthy, but when you're buying a system, to play the same games, most people would get the version that runs the game slightly better, even if it's not as noticeable. Especially at that launch period, where you were paying an additional $100 to get the version that was at a lower resolution/frame rate.

So my results were maybe an outlier. Bottom line, I replaced all of those X360s with XBones (original, S, and X) with no issues years later.

      After the Xbox 360 and Xbox one, PlayStation doesn't need points to compete or gain consumers. The PlayStation always delivers a quality console with very little issues and is actually superior. And it's player base is 2 times as big as Xbox at the moment. PlayStation will outsell Xbox at launch, again. And if Xbox doesn't keep up this time, and actually do more than PlayStation next time around, they will never catch up. And at this point , that's fine with me.

      I had OG Xbox as a kid. Never got to experience online (because I was a kid with no money) and they charged for retarded attachments like a DVD remote, otherwise your XBox didn't play DVDs. And you also had to buy an attachment so you could get online (which you still had to pay).
      Switching to PS3 was the easiest gaming decision I ever made.
      And for some reason PS2 players switched to XB360???
      And XBox 360 was more popular?!?!
      The fact that consumers jumped on a console you had to pay to play online dictated the market.
      Sony realized retards obviously didn't care about paying online.
      So of course Sony would jump on the wagon, why would they skip out on millions of dollars people are willing to throw away?

    Alot of the XBONE's performance issue was the use of ESRam and the slower custom made 8-Core Jaguar. The PS4 used GDRR5 memory and had a slightly faster Jaguar CPU.

    I'm finished with Xbox forever. I liked my 360 well enough, but Sony is my go-to platform now (and Nintendo for Nintendo games), and occasionally PC (I prefer physical over digital, but there are good digital exclusive games, some of which Sony never sells). There is literally no purpose for an Xbox when PC is superior and that's all Xbox is trying to emulate.
