Xbox help!!

[nameymcnamechangeagain]

My 10 year old is adamant he wants an Xbox for Christmas, he likes Fortnite especially...but I don’t understand the consoles! There’s a digital only one....where and how do you purchase games?! Can anyone who knows about this stuff please give me an idiots guide of what I would need to buy PLEASE!!

i think you need an xbox one console (have a look in cex, ebay or gumtree). you can get games from cex or amazon/argos, however fortnite is free and can be downloaded once the xbox has been set up

I've just had a look as I didn't know they did an all digital one. If you go for that then you would purchase all games via the store app on the Xbox and you wouldn't be able to purchase traditional disc games. Our DS has an Xbox, he can use discs but I'd have happily brought the all digital one and gone without as we tend to purchase most his games digitally anyway. Hope that helps?

I wouldn't go digital only - you will probably need to buy an additional hard drive at some point for extra space + you won't be able to buy pre-owned games in places like CEX or Game which are a huge amount cheaper on a huge variety of games not to mention trade in games when he has finished playing them or swapping games with friends

My only hesitation would be that a new generation of Xbox is being released next year.

We got ds a Switch for his 10 th birthday...
