I have an Xbox One X. Tonight I noticed a banner on the main screen saying I could get up to $150 trading in my console for an Xbox Series X. I scanned the QR code for the trade-in calculator and it told me my promotional value was actually $100, not $150. There hasn’t been a lot on the Series S/X that interests me that I can’t play on my One X other than Flight Simulator. I do also use it as my media player for that TV, so the one advantage it has is if I subscribed to YouTube TV’s 4K package I could watch it on that TV (the One X is not listed as supported but can apparently show some, though not all, YouTube TV 4K content). I don’t even actually play that much so I’m not sure it’s worth spending the money, but I am curious about doing the upgrade. It looks like all my games should still play and my controllers still work? I don’t have anything that uses the Kinect and don’t have a Kinect, so no worries there. So if I did the trade-in I wouldn’t lose anything and would gain a current-gen system? I think I would get a Series X, but not the 2TB Galaxy edition.

Ahh, I see now. The X still includes an optical drive. It was only the S model that dropped it.

Yeah just stay away from the x digital edition. Though after seeing it announced I've never seen it in stores. Get one of those or s and you're SOL
