[QUOTE="amerigoV, post: 6695003"] I would be looking real hard if before move "up". I faced this not too long ago when my original Xbox360 died again and I decided I did not want to have the RRD fixed (it was original - so tiny hard drive). Xbone had been out about 8 months at the time. I decided against it and got a large capacity X360. My reasons were 1. No backwards capability to 360 games. They finally announced that will be an option but that is now too late. I am not up on how robust this will be. That was an issue then as I had a number of games I had not gotten to (from Xmas, birthday, etc). If it had been fully backward compatible I probably would have just gone to Xbone. 2. Seems like the games are moving to a heavy on-line component. As an old married guy with young kids, I play games to get away from people, not to be ganked by pre-teens online with nothing better to do with their lives. I do not know if this trend continues (push to online, I am sure the ganking continues full force). If you are not into multiplayer you will want to see how much that limits your options. For example, Dragon Age Inquisition has tons of content and multiplayer is just tacked on vs. games like Titanfall, where the singler player campaign is short (not that I would recommend DA:I - I really do not know how it got a GoTY award) 3. There are so many games that I missed during the Xbox360 era. I basically get to game now at 50 to 90% discount of a new game (eh - and I just picked up Morrowwind - an TES game that was on the original XBOX that still runs on it). With the large hard drive, I can get some of these on-line and not even mess with the discs. If figure I have 4-5 more good years out of my Xbox360. By then a true next gen thing will be out and my kids will be old enough to more directly share in it. [/QUOTE]
