Are you looking to pick up the Xbox One S, do you already own the original Xbox One? Are you trading up or are you holding off? AS for me, I already traded my day one Xbox One and picked up the 1TB Xbox One Elite, several months ago actually. Seeing how I can only get $150 for the trade in, I’d be a fool to do that. I mean, the Xbox Elite controller is $150 by itself, let alone the system. I’ll wait, perhaps around the 2016 Holiday shopping season. That way I can get a 4K TV for cheap and get the full benefits of the Xbox One S. Unless I can offload my current Xbox One for a reasonable price.

How about you?
