Microsoft just turned the Xbox into a subscription service and will sell it like Apple sells iPhones.
Here's how it works: You can pick either a Microsoft Xbox One S or the more powerful Xbox One X. Instead of buying it outright, however, as you might typically have with any other game console, you'll pay a small monthly fee for it. The Xbox One S costs $21.99 per month for 24 months while the Xbox One X costs $34.99 per month for 24 months.
