UHD Blu-Ray Player
This improvement isn’t one that’s going to appeal to Xbox One S owners, as the slim system incorporated a UHD Blu-Ray player into its form factor when it released last year. However, for those looking for a way to play the new cutting edge media as well as games on their 4K display, the Xbox One X comes across as a bit of a steal.
For a brand-new UHD Blu-ray player on Amazon, you’re actually looking around the $200 mark. You can likely pick up a budget or refurbished player for less, but even so, you’re still looking around $100. Taking that into account, the Xbox One X’s price tag actually becomes a pretty solid deal. Considering Sony’s 4K PS4 Pro comes in at $399.99, an extra $100 for a good player is definitely not a bad deal.
While the Xbox One X’s price may seem a little steep, it’s a fair entry point for not only the best 4K gaming console experience on the market, but as a 4K media system as a whole.
