My nephew was starting gaming, my sister got him an xbox, and almost no money left for games. I suggested xbox live so that he'd get some free games. 360 games you keep forever, xbox one games you keep as long as you have the xbox live subscription.

PS4 is the best version to get. As far as Digital vs Disk, there are some

Thumbs down? Wow! Didn't realize a pros and cons list for disk vs Digital was

I love reselling discs for $1.50. Lol. Pure digital now.

Yeah, the resale value of used games is really low for most titles, but some

This is really only true if you're selling them to GameStop. There are other ways to sell games that will get you more.

Depending on the games they want, XBox Live may be a MUST.

I wholeheartedly agree with this. I always just buy the cheaper of the two

paulb
