As a casual that does not play a lot of titles and prefers physical disks, I understand where you are coming from. It's not THAT big of a deal though, and perhaps this is something worth considering from another angle instead of taking a bitter stance towards something you've invested in to bring you joy or distraction from the negative. I find myself getting lost in the catalog of GP and cloud games and trying new things. I've saved money by not buying at least one or two physical games, and also found one or two new games I never would've found otherwise. We all know how priceless a new "forever" game is, right? In the grand scheme of things, the extra couple of bucks for game pass truly is money very well spent, even for guys like us. Consider splurging on yourself in this case and let the system do what you got it to do- entertain you.

Depends on how cheap it is and how not-powerful (old) is your PC. A lot of the most interesting X360 games are back compat on newer XBoxes and you get a bunch of added features with that like higher resolutions or framerates on many of them (and no performance issues, which happen occassionally on the original X360).

Make a list of X360 games that are interesting to you, check if they are back compat in XOne and XSeries and then compare console prices. Try to get newer hardware if the games will run and your budget allows.

I can't say it is. The UI and load times are so slow compared to today's standards and as far as I know, all the games on 360 can be played on xbox one. And xbox one can play next gen titles currently (I think?)

That question was so stupid, that I want you to buy the xbox one and waste 200 bucks the stupidest way possible. Go for the xbox one please. You need some regret in ur life to learn some lessons.

Define "beat"? Because PS5 has been consistently outselling it since day one, has way more exclusives, has better regarded exclusives, has more hype for upcoming exclusives, is usually more performant in multiformat games, has a more innovative controller, has PSVR2 on the way...

Sounds like it has already curbstomped the Xbox, much like every other generation before.
