It is not the crucial factor that some make it out to be, but DVD support right out of the box helped. The extra feature applies to modern day consoles as well.
The Xbox One S contains a UHD Blu-ray drive. Why would I pay $100-$120 for a UHD Player when I can get an Xbox One S for about $250? I don't have a gaming PC, or Xbox One or PS4. This is the most attractive option to me when I get a 4K TV down the line.
