So, I finally got a Series S, and previously I had a One. Not the One S or X, the og One from 2013, and let me tell you, the leap in performance is truly astonishing. It's kind of a hard thing to describe but let me tell you, a lot of this recent titles from big name developers were really not well optimized for the One, at least the original. Black Ops Cold War, for example, would have tons of graphical glitches, and would fairly often have crashes. The load times from Rainbow Six Siege and GTA V would be upwards of 5 minutes. On the Series S, it's just seconds, maybe 2 minutes at most. It's a huge upgrade. If you have an original One, or maybe the One S, big recommend for the Series

I actually am very excited to get mine since I only own the og xbox one so it is a big leap for me. Honestly the only reason for me not to get an xbox is no exclusives coming out until 2021 but I do mostly play multiplat games. And with xbox acquiring zenimax and there 15 studios xbox is going to be pumping out big titles every year.

Being a pc builder I understand how much of a great deal this is price wise! It's a steal and with this level of backwards compatibility it has me sold!!!! I missed out the last generation! This thing is truly becoming a no hassle pc and I love that! Dare I say maybe even better as older games generally dont get makeovers on pc. Yeah you get texture packs etc on pc but generally they are 3rd party. I have never been so excited over a new console and don't think any future developments will compare to this extremely smart move. My gripe with xbone was backwards compatibility mainly and the nearly complete lack of couch coop. The ONLY reason I ever owned a console in the first place. So Microsoft listen up CLOSELY! Get the excitement back with couch coop, specially in these times! Then you will swoop the market I can guarantee. Good video brother, nice to see a bit of humor in a review 😁

[@DaleAdrasta24]

I'm a PlayStation only guy, here is my thoughts. Backwards compatibility with every console generation is great, but Game Pass is a big one. Its going to save you so much dang money man, lets not even start with that Bethesda situation. I only have PlayStation consoles, for someone like me, I get access to a massive library of games ive never played before with minimal cost. When you look at what you are getting now and in the future with Game Pass, its a complete steal. The fact that you can play so many AAA games all day 1 is wild man, this kind of value literally kills off the competition with ease. As the Microsoft game studios release more games, the value of Game Pass is going to be impossible to ignore, Sony will have to do something to compete if it wants to keep customers, because 70USD Spider Man and Demon Souls are not going to be enough once Game Pass has had some time to build up.

[@thefox8569]

I feel like a lot of thought went into the storage on this new generation Series X. The Xbox Series X prioritizes a balance between a competitively cheap price point while managing to include the highest-end hardware yet for a console. The Series X not only uses a SSD as opposed to the previous generation's (extremely slow operating) HDD, but the Series X comes with 802GB of usable storage, as opposed to; the Xbox One X's
