    Hi
    I know nothing about Xboxes or gaming but I am looking to pick up a 2nd hand Xbox so I can use SkyGo app in another room at home. Anything I need to look out for? Or if anyone here is thinking about selling one please feel free to pm me.
    Thanks

    Just be aware, you'll need 'sky go extra' or have a multiroom sky sub to use the app on consoles.

    You might get Sky Go Extra for free by downloading the My Sky app and checking the Sky VIP part. Its like a loyalty reward, I got it for free through that.

    I have the skygo extra on my account, currently using laptop but it's a pain to be connecting leads to use it. I could just leave Xbox connected if I get one.

    40 bucks in CEX

    The controller on its own is worth about 20 quid. This should come with a warranty but if you're only using it to run the sky go app it's hardly gonna be under too much strain

    One thing to note though is that the 360 can be quite loud
