I wanted an Xbox one so i could play the newer Forza Motorsport series( seems like most people say Forza 6 is the best all around), but it also seems as if the xbox one was on life support by Microsoft since they had to make the Xbox One X with 4k and HDR just to keep up with Playstation and i hear the newer Xbox’s aren’t much more reliable than the older consoles and still suffer from hardware failures.

Is it worth it to get an Xbox one X for around $120-160, or is the series X more reliable and so much better it’s worth twice the price.

I will mainly use it as a 4k player for my DVD’s and blu ray collection for upscaling and it appears to do a good job at this. Maybe get a couple FPS games as well.

Do you think it’s really worth it to splurge on the Series X if i’m not really playing many games on it?

I have researched these questions online, but always like talking to people on lemmy, so if you have other suggestions, lemme know!

    If you can get a One X for $120 I’d consider that a great deal. I don’t think Xbox’s are particulary great for 4k blurays but if you are playing games too then its good enough.

      I do have a Panasonic UB420, so i could do a comparison with a dedicated player. I did watch a video of the xbox one x vs the UB900 and honestly, it wasn’t much different. What problems did you notice?
