No, But The Xbox One S Is a Great Alternative
While you’ve yet to pick up an Xbox One and join in on all the fun, the Xbox One X’s $499 price tag is a pretty high entry point. Especially when you have to factor in any games, memberships, and accessories you want to pick up on top of that.
That doesn’t mean you have to miss out on all of the fun, though. The Xbox One S has the same library of games, online services, and accessories, allowing you to get the same base experience, just without all the extra polish that the 4K capable One X can offer. Of course, the cherry on the top of the Xbox One S cake is the fact you can grab the system on Amazon for half the price of the One X on Amazon right now. By the time you’ve touched the One X’s price, you’ll already have a selection of the system’s best games, a membership, and maybe even an extra controller on top of your One S, too.
