Using the XBox

Home Theater is very secondary to me.  I stream Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, Vudu, etc.  I love the 4k and Atmos etc.  Most of you on here say the picture and sound of a Bluray is far superior to streaming.  So I'm looking at getting a player.  I hear a lot of great things about using the X Box One or whatever.  I'm not a gamer but sound like a cool/fun option to have.  Is it really worth spending $1000 on a Panasonic or Sony bluray?  

So, thoughts on using the XBox or whatever gaming console in your HT?  Am I really giving up much?

You are correct, I was reading Xbox but thinking PlayStation. Sorry.

No you are not giving up much if any in terms of functionality and the Xbox can even do stuff, like copying a SACD, that few players can do. If the look is acceptable to you and your universal remote can control the Xbox. Keep in mind, you are not saving a lot either, the Xbox is not cheap and I don’t think it does 3-D.
