    ‘Premium console’ LOL They are delivering premium ads to your premium console and you will like it AND deal with it.

      A Series X is a premium console like the One X, and Xbox 360 Elite before it. It costs extra and has more powerful hardware and more storage.

      No, I will not like it. As it is I have significantly reduced usage of my Xbox console because 1. The ads on the homescreen are a major annoyance, and 2. The games I play with friends are more suitable to play on PC, like Stellaris.

      Every survey Microsoft sends me I always complain about the ads. And like, I am not against them having ads on the console, sometimes they can be helpful and alert me to sales or new game releases I didnt know about. But dont put them on the homescreen, literally add a new tab called “What’s New” and move the ads there. They can have an entire screen of ads in that case, and even map it to like, moving the left stick to the left, if the selection always defaults to the left-most game on the homescreen.

      used to refer to something that is of higher than usual quality

      Premium goods are of a higher than usual quality and are often expensive.

      What exactly makes the Series X not premium? It is higher in quality than their other console, the Series S, and cost more.
