    Might be an unpopular opinion (but that’s what makes it cheap): An Xbox One.

    It’s got a fairly sizeable library at 3,067 titles and a backwards compatible list with 632 games from Xbox 360 and 63 original Xbox titles. So you have plenty of choice depending on your gaming tastes.

    It’s the last generation, so many stores will be clearing out the old inventory at a discount. Popular titles like Mass Effect Trilogy or Borderlands Handsome Collection will be a great value for the money. If those are your style.

      I’d like to add two more things:

      It was the generation of HD remasters, so a lot of older (high quality) titles are available on the platform, such as the Dead Rising games, the Mega Man collections, almost all the Resident Evil titles, Devil May Cry collection, Bioshock collection, Final Fantasty X/X-2.

      And most importantly, since they are last gen, they are not stupidly hard to find yet.

      Xbox One S or X is a really good choice if they want to buy physical games. Great backwards compatability and it plays blurays too.
