How to Make the Right Use of Your Old Xbox One and PS4

 Have you just upgraded your old PS4 or Xbox One console with a new PS5 or Xbox Series X or Series S console? If yes, then what are you going to do with your old PS4 or Xbox One console? It’s true that you will barely spend time with your old console. So what have you thought about it?

If you have not decided anything yet about what to do with your old console, this guide will help you. We will discuss everything you can do with your PS4 or Xbox One console if you are not going to use them for gaming. Let’s get started.

Making Perfect Use of an Old PS4 or Xbox One

Since you will now use your latest console for gaming, your old gaming console is still very useful. All you have to do is keep reading this article, and we will show how you can use it wisely.

This article is especially for those who are not selling their old consoles. Here are some really ideal ways to use your old gaming machine:

1. Use it as a Media Player

Since PS4 and Xbox One have potent processors and plenty of RAM, it makes them perfect as a high-definition media player for your television. All you have to do is connect your console to your living room TV and install some entertainment applications on your old console to enjoy on-demand video streaming. There are plenty of on-demand video streaming apps available on both PS4 and Xbox One consoles, be it Disney+, Netflix, Hulu, Plex, Crackle, Crunchyroll, and many more. You can simply cut the cord and switch to any of the on-demand or live TV applications.

If you are already using a media streaming device on your living room television, then you can purchase a used monitor from eBay at a low price to connect with your PS4 or Xbox One. This way, you will be able to create a new entertainment system for your house other than your living room.

Recently Apple TV+, one of the most popular and hot streaming applications, is also arrived on the Xbox One and PS4 consoles. The best thing that we love about these devices is that they can easily play high-resolution videos with 60FPS. You can easily stream 4k videos on your PS4 and Xbox One due to their high-end hardware.

If you don’t wish to invest money in paid streaming apps, like Netflix, Disney Plus, and all, you can simply enjoy YouTube and other free streaming apps, like Plex, crackle, and more. There are many other free entertainment applications and websites available that you can use on your old console.

 All these applications are available on the default app store of your gaming device. On Xbox One, the Microsoft Store has all the apps you need to convert it into a media center. Similarly, PS4 has a default app store where you can download all required apps.

Furthermore, both these consoles are capable of playing Blu-Ray DVDs and discs as they have a DVD drive. So you can play movies anytime by ordering one of your favorite movies from Amazon. During the lockdown, many production companies are selling their movies through DVDs on Amazon as soon as the movie launches.

 2. Give it to Your Friend

 If you do not want to sell it, you can gift it to someone who loves playing games. If you know somebody who cannot afford a console, you can give it to them as a gift. They will never forget your kindness and love. Giving others can provide you untold happiness. Even if you don’t want to gift it, then you can talk to those who need a console and give it to them at a low price.

3. Sell it

If you want great value for your product and need money, it would be best to sell it on a reliable platform, like eBay and others. When you publish an advertisement for your console, make sure to accurately provide every detail about your product to get its best value.

Conclusion

That is what you can do with the old gaming console that is no longer useful to you as a gaming console. If you have liked this article, then it would be a pleasure for us. Thank you.
