Did I say it was for me?
In that case

A) have a good hard look at yourself for encouraging someone to,sit in the dark staring at a screen at all hours and growing up socially inept
Or
B) get the cheapest one, preferably second hand

X....it's better all round. Or get a PS4 Pro... there's not that much in it and it's cheaper than the X.

good looking AND modest
Whatever you decide Derek, make it a second hand one, less money to pay out and the player may or may not like it, plenty about with guarantees as well.

Got to be xbox but is the x worth the price difference?
If it's the original Xbox then even the S will be worth it. If it's a 360 then it depends...
If you've got a 4k TV with HDR then it's definitely worth getting the Xbox X or the PS4 Pro. If not, then it depends on the games that you've got.
Most games are now being developed with the power of the X and the Pro in mind, but not all of them take advantage of 4k.
I've just replaced my original PS4 for a Pro because of performance issues playing Assassin's Creed Odyssey (big framerate drops at times, occasional game freezes, long loading times, etc) and it's far better.
If you're playing games that are more than a year old then you'll not see much difference (load times mainly) , but more recent stuff will be better on the latest consoles. I've not upgraded to 4k yet, but I've seen the difference between 1080 and 4k with HDR and its a bit like Standard TV vs. 1080.

I’ve got a 4k ultra smart hd tv & to be honest don’t think there is a lot of difference in picture quality whatever the mode.

You'll notice the difference with 4k on games that take advantage of it. The S model doesn't support 4k, a bit like the original PS4. I thought about the X but the PS4 Pro is around £100 cheaper and there's not enough of a difference between the two to justify the price difference.
Plus the X is the size of a small bungalow.

Says the person who has no life, but spends all day glued to a screen on a motorbike forum despite despising them... :p

Why a games console? Does nobody wank anymore?
