I only use it as a UHD blu ray player. It's worth it for that. However I got mine for 120 due to that Target scam a while back

I bought an Xbox One S but I hardly ever use it

Stick with it then? Having a 4K player and a 4K TV sounds like enough use for the device.

I want a Slim model but I don't want to spend crazy money on it. I have an OG that I barely use but is taking up so much space on my entertainment center because how big it is. I'd sell it OP.
I already own a PS4 and Switch, but bought a Xbox One S recently. There really isn't much to play that can't be played elsewhere with better performance, so I haven't really used mines either. Honestly, the PS4 is the platform to start with if you want a console.
There's still some great multiplats to play though.

I kind of want one for 4K Blurays and that's it.
Shame Sony didn't include a UHD drive in the PS4 Pro; it would have saved a lot of people 300 bucks and made their device a whole lot more attractive :/

Yeah, good idea.
OP, because your'e not into videogames anymore, I'd suggest buying an $1400 PC and a $400 PS4. It's the only way to truly know if you're done with videogames or if its just the M$ HAS NO EXCLUSIVES syndrome that many return gamers are suffering from. Maybe you just need to try smash cinematic hit UNCHARTER 4 DAKES LOST LAGACY(TM) to verify.

I have an OG Xbone that I hardly use either. Feel your pain.

Personally I just bought mine explicitly as a UHD player; I do not ever plan to get games on it, though being able to maybe re experience Shadows of the Damned might get me to play a game on it.

Hell yeah, I loved Shadows of the Damned!

If you're not gaming on your video game console, it probably is Off-Topic worthy.So you posted this in OT deliberately?
Hmmm, good point.

Mine is basically used as a 4K bluray player at this point.

I have an Xbox one s and I use it.
That's what I did after I finished up Planet Earth 2
Fucking with the HDR/color/black settings on my TV to watch HDR movies was a pain in the ass. Blu-ray movies (1080p) never had such issues. The built-in TV apps handle 4K/HDR more seamlessly even if the bitrate can't compete

I sort of know what you mean.
I got one and while I do use it, I bought it because even though we have a PS4, my GF is on overwatch like all the time on it. So I figured I'd get the Xbox so we would have both systems and can play everything
But I'm starting to feel like I should have just bought a second PS4 lol

yep twice i bought an Xbox One and ended up selling it. i mean i got to play the exclusives but after that it just turned into a Netflix machine. now that Microsoft isn't doing any true xbox exclusives there is no reason for me to ever get one again. maybe if Halo 6 doesn't come to PC i'll buy a second hand cheap console to play it.
i also have a PS4 + PC so i can now play PS4 exclusives and "Windows 10" exclusives on PC.

PS4 imo is a much better choice if you're trying to get back into gaming. There's just so many good exclusives (both AAA & indie). I use my XONE only to play Forza games & Gears (singleplayer) and PS4 covers most of my gaming needs (also helps that all of my friends are on PS4).
I assume announcing Play Anywhere also felt like the final in the coffin for a lot of people, because why bother buying a console when you have the same on PC and with free multiplayer (I'm lazy that way and I like to play on the Xbox instead of my PC, but I won't be buying any future Xbox consoles).

I bought one for 4K blurays and RDR BC. 🌝
same here, and i already have a vanilla xb1. only bought for the 4k bluray player since my pc makes these consoles useless outside that fact. bought a handful of 4k movies but was hardly impressed. dont know if its my tv or what, but IQ just seem to be where i expected it to be.
Most people (probably 9 out of 10) streams 4K instead of buying discs now.

So the issue was your TV or the Xbox?
Yeah, I only have one 4k Blu-ray. More than that on Vudu. Oh well.

So biggest reason you bought it was not gaming related. That should have been a red flag right away.

I'm in that club. Lego Dimensions is my game of the year, lol.
Sounds like a genius purchasing decision.
The way HDR content is handled. It's similarly a PITA to change settings for HDR games on PS4 Pro. They often look 'dark' unless you change stuff. For whatever reason if I watch Grand Tour or something in HDR on a built-in app, it looks great.
I would say it's the TV, but based on the # of threads we've seen about HDR settings, I think it's just how all HDR TVs/devices handle it at this point. There's no standardization. HDR is a mess on PC too.
Yep. I saw a brand new Xbox One S on sale in February for $200, picked it up, and now 6 months later it's been powered on a total of maybe 15 times. I was able to get rid of it for $180 to undo that mistake. That said, it's still a decent console for anyone who doesn't have a PC/PS4 (though I'd recommend a PS4 over an XB1 at this point).
