Consoles are pretty huge platforms in terms of users, and Microsoft therefore releases updates for it every month. The reason for this is is simple: It will get updated the longest. Xbox One S/X is the best player now and especially long-term. Also, if you use streaming services as well, the apps usually perform very well on Xbox One consoles, due to their strong hardware, while they load for ages and lag (and won't get any updates before long) on the dedicated players. Imagine the Xbox being unable to play the newest 4K Blu-rays. Problems are far more likely to be addressed on huge platforms like Xbox, as opposed to some random player for which the manufacturer has lost interest long ago. This is the Xbox One S/X, without a doubt. Therefore, you want the player with the best update support. If your player does not get an update which supports the new copy protection, you won't be able to play the disc. Recently, 4K Blu-rays with a new copy protection (AACS 2.1) came out, namely "The Patriot" and "Fury". A normal Blu-ray player does not receive updates as long.

Therefore, Microsoft constantly provides updates for it (once monthly AFAIK).

Consoles are big platforms and many people use them. I thought about it but it's a bit out of my price range and I alrdy game on my pc so another console seems a bit redundant, thanks for the advice tho!Įven if you don't game on it at all, it would still be a great choice.
