Yes (to de series S), but he specifically mentioned buying used discs, and the series S is digital only, so it’s not viable for what he’s proposing. Also yes (for the 360 games), but it’s only some and only the games you bought digitally, so his arguments of buying cheap used games also moots this point. Subscription is not optional if you want to play online, which granted I personally don’t care, but his argument was Xbox+gamepass+used games was a better cost benefit than Steam Deck, so he’s including gamepass in his budged for Xbox so to remove it it would be a different point from what he was making.
Did not know about the emulator, glad to hear that, I thought because it was a console it would have been a lot more closed than that. In any case the emulator didn’t factor in the price of anything, it’s just because I like to play a lot of old games on my deck so that gives me hours of fun for free, glad to know people with Xbox are also able to enjoy it.
