I'm always doing research on my investments and I found out that in order to fully appreciate current gen (optimized) games they need to be installed on the internal hd. Time to transfer lol :)

    The last console I owned was a N64!!! I have been a PC gamer the last 23 years. I just for the heck of it thought of getting a Xbox Series X. So I bought it 2 days ago. I did buy it from GameStop and I did not have to do the monthly purchase thing. I am learning the Console world again. I do have GamePass Ultimate, I had it for my PC, which not many games. But I am enjoying having both a power house gaming PC and the Series X.
    My only issue is getting a 1440P or 4k Monitor. Right now I have 3 32" 1080p monitors for my PC. I hooked the xbox up to the middle one for now, and I can easily switch the input to go from PC to Series X and vise versa. I also have my pc showing on the monitors on each side of the desk while playing Xbox. To upgrade monitors will be VERY expensive for me. I don't think I will go 3 4k, maybe start with 1 1440P for my middle monitor and see how I like the difference.

    Just a few quick points to raise regarding your video. First off, having to pay for online play has been the standard for consoles for three generations so far. And for Microsoft, their game streaming service includes that feature, for all games.
    Second, it's unfortunate that you only discuss cloud gaming after this video, since that functionality is included with Game Pass Ultimate (both PC and Xbox gaming). Any Windows, Apple device, or Android device can access this feature, which is a point in Microsoft's favor if you care for this feature.
    I agree that the appeal for an Xbox is reduced if you have a much more expensive gaming PC, since Microsoft has been strongly supporting both for years, and since the Xbox base will likely become a popular place for porting PC titles, due to the similarities of development. There are though, and likely will remain to be, some major and popular titles unique to only one of those platforms.
    As to the selection of Game Pass titles, every platforms has titles which are crap. But the abundance of much better titles (such as AA or AAA games) negates that. And for the price of three great games per year, you can beat those games, and experience some enjoyable games which you wouldn't know of otherwise, and play the streaming games on multiple devices, and potentially play some of your games which aren't part of the streaming service remotely.
    In short, Game Pass is not something to dismiss. There's a reason why Sony is trying to copy it.

    Nice video. To what you said at the 4:40 ish mark, I agree. I remember the Xbox 360s "blades" UI, I wish they'd bring that back, or at least a variant of it. It was a nice sleek & smooth design. To what you said about the expansion card/memory unit, my collection being what it is I bought it (1 TB version). Also keep in mind that those games labeled as "optimized for the Xbox series S/X" will ONLY work either from the consoles internal hard drive, or from one of these expansion cards/memory units. With the exception of Skyrim, none of those games work off an external hard drive, although you can archive them in an external hard drive. The same holds true with the PS5 (you can archive PS5 games on an external drive, but not play them from it). I've heard Seagate has the exclusive rights to create those things for a year or so, after which others can make those expansion cards/memory units. Competition SHOULD drive those prices down some, but I doubt it'll be more then $50.

Best graphics best load times best titles available and not only that it's very flexible and storage can be added up to 3TB. Love it.

    I’ve had my Xbox series X day one when it released in 2020. Most games have been cross generation and are playable on older Xbox via the cloud. I’d say you weren’t missing out on much tbh. However, when star-field and red-fall releases next year, I’d try to get a series X or S if I didn’t have one already. I think last gen consoles will start to be left behind in 2023 moving forward.

    Backwards compatibility for my older xbox console games didn't work for all 9 of the previous games I kept that I like. None of them have been updated to work on series X. I bought the XBOX X anyway, I like it, it's fast and more like a gaming PC now. Just the hype seems misleading. Also the price, I had to pay over a grand for mine, $500 for the console almost $400 for 2 years of Xbox Ultimate and $220 for the 1Tb expansion card. Still slightly cheaper than a gaming PC, and this is why I decided to go ahead and purchase.

    Since u haven't had an xbox for years. And u do not really like xbox live. The best option is to buy xbox live gold for 1 year in store. U can do this for up to 3 years. Switch to gamepass ultimate for 1 dollar. More and then u can have gamepass for 61 or 121 or 181 dollars for up to three years. It does work and I have been doing the loop. I do not pay monthly for xbox gamepass ultimate. U can also use this on ur pc as well.. Hurry and do this before Microsoft removes xbox live gold for good. It's the only good use case for it. So cancel ur xbox gamepass subscription go buy gold in store. Then switch over to gamepass ultimate again.
