It really depends on your current and future gaming needs.
I might be an outlier, but I got the Series X primarily to play Xbox 360 and OG Xbox games. It upscales them wonderfully, they run smoothly, and there are even framerate enhancements for selected titles.
This was big deal for me as I have a pretty good size, and growing, library of previous gen game titles , both digital and on disc.
The storage comes in handy for larger games that take up 100Gb or more of disk space. The disc drive is great for …well…discs!
So the Series X is great if your needs are similar. I also am not at all interested in new titles, so there is that as well.
Good luck with you decision. I can only advise you to think long term, as in a year or two after your console purchase, you won’t even remember how much you paid for it. But you will remember if you can play the games you want to play or not.
I always buy more than I think I need, just to be safe!
