Xbox One: an excellent option for this holiday season

Christmas, Christmas time is here. Toy time and joy time! Yes that’s how it is! Christmas is only a month away. It’s November and we’re starting the countdown until we all get the big (or not so big) gifts we’ve been wanting all year. Hot on this list are game consoles.

Given that Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo all have next-gen gaming consoles on the market, not to mention a slew of new laptops and other gadgets, which is the best gaming platform?

I’ve always been a PlayStation guy, however I briefly owned an Xbox 360 before the red ring of death got hold of it. Then about 6 months ago my PS3 blew up. What was a player to do? I did a lot of research. I discovered that the GPU, the unit that drives the graphics behind the 2 machines, PS4 and Xbox One, were created by my favorite CPU/GPU creator, AMD. When AMD builds a chipset, you know it’s built right. So that didn’t really help me make up my mind.

The PlayStation 4 (PS4) has faster and higher grade ram as it uses DDR5 and Xbox One still uses the standard DDR4. Therefore, I was eager to get my hands on the PS4. However, I’m glad I didn’t.

I found a great bundle that had the Xbox One console, Kinect camera, and a $60 game for the giggles. This bundle cost me $450 at Walmart and that wasn’t during a sale like Black Friday. That was the price of the daily package at that time. Heck, without the game, that system was $499. By the way, Titanfall alone was worth buying the Xbox One when I did.

For starters, what you can’t learn from the box that the Xbox One comes with is that the Xbox One is designed to use the cloud created by Microsoft called Azure. By being able to use this cloud (many, many different server systems connected to each other), the Xbox One can harness the power of the servers it’s connected to, giving the console the ability to be 4 times stronger than the hardware that is included in it. console. This was the icing on the cake for me.

Add that the Xbox One has both an HDMI output and an HDMI input so you can connect your HD cable box to this console, so you can control what you watch on TV through voice commands and hand gestures. , this console just gets more exciting! With a lot of Xbox One apps now on the market for free, yes free, since a couple of months you no longer have to pay for a Gold Live account as you can now use the apps and play online for FREE!
