Hey everyone! My fiancé is graduating soon, and since it’s also his birthday week, I want to surprise him with an Xbox. I need some advice on which model to choose. Should I go for the digital drive or the disc drive? He doesn’t game too seriously, but he loves playing Fallout and some online Catan-style games. Additionally, we definitely want to be able to play Mario Kart and watch DVDs. How much storage should we consider? Any recommendations?

The Series X is your best investment if he’s into physical games and DVDs. If budget is a concern, consider a used Xbox One X, but keep in mind it doesn’t have all the latest titles. You’ll miss out on some newer games with that option.
If he’s got a collection of disc games, the Series X makes the most sense. Plus, it’s more powerful than the Series S, giving him great graphics for gaming. For Mario Kart, sadly, you’ll need a Switch, but there are some cool alternatives on Xbox!
For an occasional gamer who enjoys Fallout, the Series X with a disc drive is the solid choice. Plus, a Game Pass subscription could be great for accessing a ton of games including older titles. Just remember, Mario Kart is a no-go since that’s a Nintendo exclusive!
If you plan to watch DVDs, definitely go with the Xbox Series X which has a disc drive. Just a heads up, Mario Kart isn’t available on Xbox, so you might want to get a Nintendo Switch for that. But for Xbox gaming, the Series X is your best bet!
Yeah, it’s a total bummer about Mario Kart, but there are some fun racing games on Xbox you could try out!
In summary, go for the Series X if you want that disc drive and DVD capability. It’s the best fit for your needs! And don’t forget about the Switch if Mario Kart is a must-have. Good luck with your gift hunting!
Thanks for the support! I’m really excited about this surprise!
Yep, totally recommend the Game Pass! It’s a fun way for him to try new games without committing to full prices.
