I think we hit "peak graphics" a while ago and now very few people actually care that you can get 18% better graphics for 200% the price

One important thing to mention about Quick Resume: it's great for single-player games/campaigns, but if you try to Quick Resume into a Multiplayer game, it glitches out and you often need to close the game and re-open it.

[@LeoClarke44]

Very true

[@MegaPrams]

And that’s cause it needs to connect to the server, the server has disconnected the game when it is inactive for a time period, its not a problem with the series s , its a problem on the game server

[@shashanksingh5479]

Isnt its self explanatory? You cant do that to multiplayer games

[@agatecomic9160]

I got the series s when it came out because i couldnt afford a series x and I think that its a perfect consle, it really isnt as under powered as most people think it is and it plays all games really well, and its really cheap compared to all other consoles.

[@dio_nysius]

I bought it 4 months ago. I really like it, the last console I bought was a Nintendo Wii, DS and PS3 and since then I rarely play games because of work... and if I want to play, I mostly play on my laptop and phone. lol I got the S series for only 200$, buy GamePass Ultimate on the marketplace for 4-6$/month in my country. If you subscribe by card it's only 10$/month. For me, who is 43 now, Xbox+GPU with the addition of a keyboard/mouse for playing online games and old games as well as relatively new ones at that price is very cheap and valuable.

[@samrithsat5248]

A week ago I bought my Xbox S with 3 months of game pass included at a great price - Compact, powerful, quiet and fits perfectly right next to my PS5 in the living room: GoldenEye 007, Perfect Dark + Zero, TimeSplitters 2 + Future Perfect, Halo MCC and Gears of War

[@olzzon]

If you doubt the graphic potential of the series S , just launch for example Dead Space Remake. Upscale on that on a good tv and you realize that this little beast does the job really really good .

[@N1cole.X]

I’ve had mine for 3 years it’s seriously an amazing powerful console for the price!! 💚🎮

[@SIPEROTH]

It does the job i guess, especially if you still have an HD TV instead of a 4K but to me is completely useless because it basically an upper tier Game Pass machine and i don't agree that Game Pass is great. I don't like services like Game Pass. You will be paying every month and probably for the higher tiers so you can play games as they release and it will get more and more expensive as it goes(all this services do) and after5-6 years of constantly paying if you stop paying you are left with nothing and a useless box. If you invested that money buying games you will always have those games and you don't have to constantly keep paying or be left with nothing. Not only that but games coming and going is definitely not my thing. I don't just play games in a month a finish them and move on. I have a busy life. I might need 2 oe 3 months to finish a game. If it's a big game i might be playing it for half the year or more. I don't need the anxiety of "finish this game or else it won't be here in 10 days". No thank you. I prefer owning my game and playing at my own leisure.

[@oiIuptyIerviteIIi]

​@@SIPEROTH COMPLETELY agree. The only selling point about xbox series s is gamepass which is a subscription that doesn't even let you really own anything. Nah thanks, I'd rather get a ps4 pro which has way better exclusives and can do upscaled 4k. Much cheaper second hand too

[@stylechyld7780]

I will buy a xbox series s because i buy now digital because often is the same or less then the price of physical media, also the fact saves wear and tear on your console by using a disc drive and lastly saves space in your household by not occupying with physical media all over the place.

[@kingtrill32]

I got a series S after i owned a ps5 and graphically it irritated me because it was a step below. Its like you want it to jus be a little clearer lol. But the size made moving it anywhere great. But if you want a cheap system and dont have the X or PS5 i say get it.

[@TDaVeiGhtYNinE]

Thats exactly how i feel. I have a ps5 and have tried the s before but the 1080p graphics just don't do it for me. If it hit that 1440p for certain, id buy one. You hit the nail on the head though.....i just want it to be a little bit clearer and i use a 1440p monitor.

[@pawanmodupalli983]

I have ps5 .. just thinking on buying it for a secondary device .. will observe any difference graphically ? Mostly considering it for gamepass & i have 1440p monitor

[@TDaVeiGhtYNinE]

@@pawanmodupalli983 honestly, you will see a difference. There are other reviews out there also but going from a ps5 to a series s is pretty noticeable. Even on a 1440p monitor. If you dont care too much though, id say its worth it. It plays great and all the same games as the X does but it just lacks graphics.

[@oiIuptyIerviteIIi]

But i wanna get a budget option from sony tho Is ps4 pro worth it and is a comparable console to xbox series s?

Well ive been using it for the past 6-7 months its my main game device but rather than the game performance im gonna talk about a major problem about the web browser lets say you got discord on one tab and microsoft office apps at the second one you are on a call or texting to your friends and after a short period of time except for the tab you are on the rest of them refreshed and shuts down to save performance meaning when you switch to the office programs the moment you switch to the office programs tab your discord call will be disconnected and you will be offline on discord to give a better example the browser doesn't support quick resume feature theres some other browsers on the microsoft store but only this one supports keyboard and mouse also all of them are chromium based and you cannot add any extensions on it so if you think about well i wanna play my games and do my work on the browser for example homework and stuff like that consider buying a different device theres also some other problem i tried editing a video on capcut and it keeps getting shut down and giving me a error saying microsoft edge browser is consuming soo much ram it shut down to save some

[@Averagedude-mi3fl]

Will probably be at least 2026 before a new Xbox comes out. I just grabbed a used series s off eBay for under 200. If it works well, win win and you get a couple of years of gameplay until next gen.

[@SIPEROTH]

This is a digital only console box and to be honest is mostly for people that want to use Game Pass. If you aren't interesting in paying for Game Pass or you don't like things like the games coming and going and having to finish them on a certain time etc that Game Pass has then i would suggest against it. Technically you could buy digital games as well but the SSD space won't last you for long(they now made a black one with a 1TB SSD but that is more expensive) and the propriety SSD's Microsoft came up with are so expensive that it defeats the purpose of buying a cheap console since you could buy an SSD at half the price for a PS5. So yeah, it basically makes mostly sense only for those wanting a Game Pass machine.

[@Averagedude-mi3fl]

One point to add especially if you get the series s, even if you just buy digital games, get an external hard drive to store your games so you can transfer them back and forth instead of always needing to redownload them again.

[@NXILKAY]

[@eionbowen7904]

Im going to get me one of theses next month in October tbh so next month i will be getting me one

[@AnonymousJM]

As much as i hate the series S due to the fact that except for the disc drive it renders the series X just a more expensive series S as all games have to be developed to run on series S and so can't use the series X's power to its full potential, despite this... most of these points are valid. Only thing i would say is the backwards compatibility thing... If you get this to play old xbox games you already have and now have to start re-buying all your old games AGAIN, well this then defeats the object of it being cheaper. As the cost difference between the series S and X is now null and void after you have to spend a few hundred £'s rebuying your games. So this then counteracts point 1. They only reason this would be good for backwards compatibility is if you are new to xbox and were previously playstation, and are buying these old games for the first time.

I didn’t know the graphics were weaker on the S before I bought it.

[@Johnnyy713]

What? They do make a 1TB version, this same model the Xbox Series S. It came out a while ago, it was all black but not the X, it was the smaller S. I think they stopped that color but still have this Xbox Series S at both 512GB and also 1TB. $299 or $349 for the 1TB... They have also come out with an all digital version of the Xbox Series X, which comes in the all white color and also has 1TB of storage.
