    Hi I thinking of purchasing an x box and wondering could I get some advice whether to go for 360 or x box I. I am far from been a gaming fanatic and will only be playing an average of 10 hours a week. I heard the new one wont play old games and visa versa.


    Thanking You

    At the moment the XB1 can't play XB360 games, though that's likely to change. If you're time is limited & you don't need the latest releases immediately, i'd probably suggest the 360. it's half the price and has a huge amount of games out and at pretty affordable prices. It's also backwards comparable with about 500 or so (original) XBOX games, there's a list up on wikipedia for specifics.

    That being said, in the near future, all new releases are going to be PC and 8th-generation only (PS4, XB1, WiiU) so in the next year or so you won't see many, if any XB360 releases.

    It all comes down to how much you're willing to invest versus how much you'll be using it versus perceived value for money. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

    You could get a cheap 2nd hand 360 if your not to bothered,still great for Netflix,youtube,gaming wise still good for new releases,I have both and only recently have start using the one more as xbox are making good updates,if your thinking of buying a new system then you might as well pay the extra for the one,I wouldn't buy a new 360 at this stage
