Most likely less memory as well and most likely won't run/play 4K quality

Lower specs all around make it much cheaper.

This is all Microsoft's plan to get people to buy media from the MS store instead of retail. It makes them more money in the long run if consumers purchase all their media from them via digital download.

No disc drive along with a smaller GPU (that will run games at lower resolutions), 512GB SSD and smaller RAM. Everything else is the same.

PS5 DE is the same with no disc drive so they won't be able to cut the price as much without taking a loss.

I saw something about Xbox game pass working on high end Android phones. If that's a real thing, and I can just stream games on my phone and use an Xbox controller, I might have to get in on that if no console is required.

Works on any android phone or tablet. Just need a good internet connection.

Pretty sure you can side load it to an Android TV even.

Anyways I have an external 2TB HD but I will just save up for the Series X because I may not always have 24/7 internet in the future.Probably buy a new TV in a couple of years too.Right now my 1080p LG in Vivid looks great after 8 years.

Well fuck me. I have a note 8 and a 160meg connection at home, I might have to borrow a friend's XBO controller and do a month of game pass to try it out. That sounds lovely, and saves so much money. MS even sells a peripheral to attach your phone to the controller to make a portable.

It's the best way to go. XCloud is almost perfect and even works great with your mobile network if no router for WiFi. Microsoft's heavy hitters are on it as well.

Fuck Nextbox and go Project XCloud!

Hell of a lot cheaper to just buy a controller and a controller phone mount and a gamepass subscription than to buy a whole new $300 console when my phone can handle it. Plus, even as a playstation guy, gamepass is excellent and I've been wanting in on it for a while. PS now is a joke.

All digital is stupid, what if you don't like the game? You're fucked out of the money you spent.

I plan on buying the cheaper one then when the new model comes out I'm guessing in 3 years I'll buy the better one.

What's weird is my brain interpreted it as that, and I didn't even catch that error.
