Shopping for a Xbox One

I never thought I'd be looking back at the Xbox One and needing it, but I finally found some games I can only play there. I can get one for $100 too, which is a nice price for a console.

My main reason for looking at getting a Xbox One again is Forza Horizon 2 and 3. I can't seem to download either of them on Xbox Series S. Weirdly, though, I can still download Forza Horizon 1, which I bought digitally years ago on some sale. I'd like to own the FH series physically anyway since I love it so much. I already have FH1 in a steel box I got at a Goodwill for cheap. Today I bought 2 and 3. FH4 and 5 are still downloadable on XSS, so I'll wait on those.

I discovered another reason and that is Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 Plus, which is downloadable but for $10, but I felt it was essential for a XOne collection. PMCE is such a great series, I love owning some of it physically.

Another reason is the Toys-To-Life games which I played mostly on Xbox One back in 2015. Skylanders Trap Team, Swap Force, Superchargers, and Imaginators (Spyro's Adv and Giants are only playable on Xbox 360 era consoles) I still have, and would need, a Xbox One to play them again unless I switched to Wii-U or PS4 (perhaps). Disney Infinity 2.0, and 3.0 (the first one only on Xbox 360) I also played on Xbox One, and could switch to a system I own if I wanted, but Xbox is my choice. Lego Dimensions and Starlink: Battle for Atlas are two others I still have without a console to play them on. Starlink is downloadable right now, but I'd like to use the toys - it's kinda the whole point of it.

Finally there is a game I love so much I got a physical copy to play on Xbox One a while back. It's Journey to the Savage Planet, a humerous adventure game where your job is zoological field work on an alien planet to prepare for human colonization. This is also downloable currently but physical is just nice for those special games.

I'm hoping to find other Xbox One exlcusives, or favorites I'd like physical copies of, to build this collection.

Human colonization?! Is that the Rick and Morty game?

It totally could be if they gave the character talking equipment like in High Life.

You know, I loved my Xbox 360, but I have no desire to get a Xbox One or X/S. Just not enough games on them that interest me. Same goes with the PS5. I'd love to get those systems, as I'm not just a Nintendo fanboy. It's just that Nintendo is making the games that I like to play right now. If Sony would make more games like Astro Bot, then I would definitely be interested in getting a PS5. Heck, there are even levels in Astro Bot based on Loco Roco and Ape Escape. If Sony would make more Loco Roco and Ape Escape games, man I'd be all over that!

It seemed like all of Xbox One's games were available on Xbox Series systems. so I didn't need it but FH2-3 made me think about it again. PS5 is just too much money for me right now and I only have a very small number of games exclusive to it I want to play. Ratchet & Clank, though, I would get a PS5 just for that if I wanted to spend $500.
