I just won an Xbox One X from Taco Bell! Whaaaaa??? Crazy!
My 7 year old son is dying for an Xbox. We have no gaming system currently (that we are using). He doesn't know or care that this is the latest/greatest system, or so the internet says. We were planning on giving the kids our old Wii for Christmas. They don't know this exists. This accomplished two things... it would be a joint gift for both kids (DD5 as well). It also would be what I (as a total non gamer) feel is a more age appropriate system for my early elementary kiddos- but I could be wrong here. I figured it'd buy us two years before moving to the coveted Xbox.
So.... now... do I...
Give him/them the Xbox for Christmas- let them be the kids with the hot toy.
Sell it. Use the money to get an older model Xbox One. He's thrilled to get his Xbox. I've maud some money.
Sell it. Go with the Wii as planned. Use the money to finance Christmas. I feel like this is bad sweepstakes karma- haha! There's no Minecraft for the old Wii... which is the one game he seems to want. But he's my easy kid- we have like ten games and I think he'd be happy with this as well. Maybe not the over the top wow factor, but very happy.
What do you guys think?
