Maybe a used XBox One S? That's what I've been using for years for 4k disc play at home. Looks like they go for $200 at GameStop.
This baby is an American hero Dw I won't stop hating the Switch 2 when it becomes 10 years old, which is perfect time for me. The only consoles I own that's under 10 years is my Switch (8 Years) and Xbox One S(9 Years old). I love old media I'm and old soul in a young body tbh.
[...] The rub was that the WiFi password simply didn't work. The owner of the cabin was being no help, said the password on the note was correct and I could otherwise plug my laptop in to Ethernet directly.

I remember when I bought an Xbox One S for the 4K bluray drive... in 2016.
Honestly my Xbox one S might be my favorite console I’ve ever owned. Certainly my most versatile.
Oh, and the Xbox one s controller I have has it’s headphone jack broken, and I am too lazy to resync to one of my Xboxes or to my phone each time. Too hard for me to tell.
Has spent over thousand of hours playing RDR2 on my laptop, not counting the amount of thousands of hours played on my PS5 & Xbox One S. But play it mostly now on my PS5 and gaming laptop. It’s simply the best game ever created.
We can't all afford to keep buying Steam Decks, lol My investments (if I ever buy another console) will probably be to the one that supports physical media It's why I bought an Xbox One S a few years back
Fun fact: i bought Xbox One S purely to play sonic forces and it was the only sonic game i had access to for a few years due to lack of income. That fuelled my spite for the game.
[...] I wish I kept all my old stuff, I had a Gameboy from 1990, a gamegear from a few years later... [...] Skipped all the consoles until there was a sale for the Xbox One S a few years ago. [...]
[...] I've cancelled all my streaming services after letting them just renew regardless of how much I've used them. [...] My old Xbox One S wants me to sign in just to use the disc player app. [...]
I bought my Xbox One S for 200€ in 2017. And it had Forza Horizon 3 bundled.
Opened up the broken Xbox One S I bought for cheap on eBay to fix up and once I took the bottom shell off I immediately found a bunch of dead roaches and roach carcasses
After watching the playthrough yesterday and feeling all nostalgic, today I picked up a copy 🎮 I own a Xbox One S which is backwards compatible 🙌🏻 I was a massive online player back in the day. I bought this because it has the best campaign out of all the Battlefield games. [...]
Over 20 years later Dead Or Alive 3 still holds up and remains one of the best fighting games of all time. I really hope Team NINJA can bring this franchise back someday. Also these are screengrabs from the Xbox One S, upscaled and clean from the system itself!
[...] I bought my XBOX One S for Street Fighter 6. [...]
I can almost imagine in a few years they will be saying this about the Sony PayStation 4 which is the first game console I bought myself, after having had a Xbox one s throughout high school

I've had an Xbox One S in my closet for a long time now that's been largely unused Why am I wanting to get an Xbox Series X right now? [...]
My PS5, XBox One S and Switch are all hooked up in my bedroom so I can actually step away from my PC. So a way to play my Steam games w/o the distraction of the internet (and my phone) looming over me would be interesting.
What consoles do you currently own? We have: PS4 PS5 XBOX 360 XBOX One S Switch I've had all the consoles from Atari 2600 onwards, but growing up with little money, whenever we got a new console we would gift the older version to friends who couldn't afford one & I've kept it up as an adult, too.

I just realised I forgot about PS3, I had one for a few months until I couldn’t play it anymore so I got a Xbox One S
