Im leaning towards xbox1
But not in any rush to buy just yet.
Is 500gb more than enough in size, as 1Tb is a fair jump in price. Also i wont be bothering with kinect.
I will use black Friday con as bench mark for prices.
Your feed back is apreciated guys and helpful.
Is the xbox 2 due out anytime soon??
500gb console will install about 7-9 games so if you plan on fleeting between that amount of games then you'll be ok. I have halo 5, Elder Scrolls Online, Halo Master Chief Collection, Fifa15 and Fifa16 installed along with a Tomb Raider game (not the very latest one) and i still have space free for another game if needed. I do however plan on uninstalling fifa15 (got fifa16 now) tomb raider (completed it) i know you can put an external hard drive into an xb1 but i believe it needs to be a particular format.
If you can comfortably get the 1tb console then go for it, if updates for games are released in the future making them bigger then us with the 500gb consoles may well have to sacrifice the install of another game or head off out and buy external hard drives.
So as it stands: 500gb is enough at present but it does ultimately depend on how many games you plan on having on the go at once.
