Should You Get an Xbox Series S in 2024?

[@Ray-i6r]

I am so ready for the series S to go on black friday sales. I have about $250 set aside and I bet I can snatch a brand new one with a warranty if I buy it during the black friday frenzy.

[@ayemaldo]

1000%! i bet you can even get it a bit cheaper

[@XÆ-12]

Same I will buy it on black Friday and I can't wait but I'm worried that the carbon black won't go on sale

[@ayemaldo]

@ it might, i could see it being a little bit off tbh

[@Ray-i6r]

@@XÆ-12 If the black one doesnt go on sale you should go to home depot and buy a quart of black paint

[@XÆ-12]

@@Ray-i6r nice joke but I'm dead serious and it's also that it has a 1tb ssd

[@BenAstridge]

This is perhaps one of the most impressive little consoles i've ever tried out! I think when i compare my experiences with the ps5 vs the series s, i've just genuinely had more joy brought to me from the series s honestly. Great vid btw!!

[@ayemaldo]

it totally holds its own, and I agree, its been really useful. thank you!

[@jedstuhr]

you said it best when you said you use it as a companion device to your Series X.... I have my Series X all nice in a permanent setup, which I use when I play bigger titles and/or do some live streaming... but my Series S is used to house my smaller, less demanding titles, and also to use on the go.... the screen you showed in the video is PERFECT for travel, or even products like the NexDock, is great for this use case!

[@ayemaldo]

perfect companion device, but if you’re in a pinch, it can also be a main platform. thanks for the comment! appreciate it! 🙏🏻

Xbox series s will runs GTA 6 smoothly, rockstar confirmed ❤

[@ayemaldo]

Series S is the best thing happened for casual gamers using since 3 months , didn't disapount at all.

[@ayemaldo]

more people being put onto it day by day!

[@MilkshaketheKitten]

Thanks for the review I was looking to upgrade to the next generation system (I still mainly use my PS4), Even they been out for a while. The prices seem right now, that they have gone down.

[@Lynxxs]

the series s is one of the biggest steals in console prices.its fast and support 4k 120hz,only bad thing is that it doesnt have a hard drive so youll need to buy games digitally other than using old games

[@suprxmefire9497]

Same here. My one s is not doing it for me

[@ayemaldo]

the Series S is a fantastic for the price especially since you haven’t upgraded yet. I would still recommend looking at all your options, but Series S should be cheap during black friday in the states at least.

[@ClonedExistence0]

​@@ayemaldo is series s good as a main console?

[@ayemaldo]

@@ClonedExistence0 100% i could main the Series S and be happy. YMMV tho, esp if you care about high res/frames for every game.

[@Calldrops]

I had one from January 2023-June 2023 sold it for a PS5 and now I’m back to the Series S as of today

[@ayemaldo]

welcome back 🫡

[@BenAstridge]

I did a similar thing to you. I've not yet returned to it, but i'm definitely thinking of it now. I just had a lot more fun & happiness on the series s with gamepass than i have been having on a ps5.

[@techknow9237]

I get to play all the KoF, Samurai Showdown and Metal Slug games...plus Resident Evil 4 Remake, all Street Fighter games, Death Stranding, Flight Simulator, Forza Horizon 5, Robocop, Forza Motorsport, Balder's Gate 3, Cyberpunk 2077, Diablo IV, Iron Meat, Metro Exodus, Hellblade 2, ,Starfield (I like it), most Castlevania games l...etc, and looking forward to Stalker 2, Indiana Jones, GTA 6 For £250 (or cheaper if u shop around)...what other console/PC allows you to play last last gen, last gen and the now next gan games and with online gaming and all the media apps in one small box. It's a great system esp for its price

[@ayemaldo]

agree with everything you just said, the price to gaming ratio is unbeatable

[@EllieG-y4l]

I got mine on Saturday and its wayyy better than my xbox old xbox 1 it loads way faster and its quiet tahn my old one i would 100% recommend

[@ayemaldo]

glad you’re liking it! thanks for the comment 🙏🏻

[@XLR_Void]

Okay lets break it down. Why spend a whole 300 dollar extra if ot can run the same games, only the fps and the resolution is a little off. If you dont mind a small change in fps and resolution its a GREAT console. Convlusion: if youre not into exclusives like on the PS5, and yiu dont mind lower fps and a little lower resolution, the Series S is A GREAT CHOICE. It runs any game i have smoothly, it can run Cyberpunk 77 on like 2k (1440p 30 fps) and fh5 on the same but also on 1080p at 60 fps. Lower the resolution for more fps.

[@ayemaldo]

you hit everything on the head, all these reasons make the Series S a good option for most people imo

[@XLR_Void]

@ayemaldo real bro ❤️

[@ewinterplayz]

Content is great by the way🔥🔥🔥

[@ayemaldo]

thank you! i appreciate it! 🙏🏻

[@shanehall75jamaicangamer12]

I have one I bought mine a year ago and I'm loving it 😁😁

[@ayemaldo]

love to hear it!

[@shanehall75jamaicangamer12]

@ayemaldo yep it may not be as better as the x but it still has great performance and graphics

[@NehemYah810]

I’ve been using the series S for a year and it’s good enough 🤷‍♂️ probably the best running game I’ve played on it is genshin impact 💀 but a lot of games run a bit choppy,I’ve noticed textures having to load and reload in games and then with games like Cyberpunk you’re just gonna get the absolute WATERED down experience. My Xbox one X played that game better but all in all,it does what I need it to and I don’t regret buying it. I’m not NEARLY as picky as some though fyi.

[@ayemaldo]

exactly, its not the most powerful console, it just gets the job done at an affordable price

[@ewinterplayz]

Short answer, hell yeah.🔥🗣

[@ayemaldo]

exactly! 🤙🏻

[@shashanksingh5479]

I get the appeal for x and ps5 they're undoubtedly better but series s is great for entering new gen gaming at very tight budget plus its so small i did 10 days trip in my country and i carried it with me everywhere also doubles as powerful media device. Yes you may not get 4k or 60 fps in every title like x or ps5 but still you'll get smooth experience overall plus that quick resume is so awesome it'll spoil gaming for you.

[@ayemaldo]

exactly, it’s a great device imo

[@Vropsycho420]

I been thinking of buying a series S for a while now since I have a Xbox one X I been wanting to upgrade for a while now, does anyone know which store or websites that sells them for 250 or lower

[@ayemaldo]

it was a sale for Black Friday in the US. You could check them and see if they are still available, or even Microsoft directly!

What kind of projector do you use ?

[@ayemaldo]

i got this one on amazon for like $50 a few months back a.co/d/93hZFNr

[@hvdiv17]

Yea and if there is a game the series s struggles with on game pass you can cloud stream it with game pass ultimate. you dont need a series x with cloud streaming.

[@ayemaldo]

yep, both are very good options for that too.

[@dapotatoeddie9495]

I had a Xbox 1 until today I got a series s best decision ever

[@ayemaldo]

that’s sick!

[@ItsBuuild]

Ima buy one as a companian to my pc, just something that will be more reliable than my custom pc lol

[@ayemaldo]

i get it! we don’t always want to be tied to the chair, at least that’s why i do it haha 😂

[@ItsBuuild]

@ayemaldo yeah, and also pcs, at least in my experience, can be unreliable at times lol

[@ayemaldo]

@@ItsBuuild fasho, they can be at least a lot more compared to consoles and ESPECIALLY if you use it from the couch, becomes a bit of a headache

@@ayemaldo yeah, I tried using my pc on a TV, not fun at all lol

I got mine about a year ago & I love it. Got one to go with my Nintendo switch so I could finally have a console to play some higher quality games :) just finished playing red dead redemption 2 for the first time !!

[@ayemaldo]

THIS IS WHAT WE LIKE TO HEAR! RED DEAD 2 IS SOOO GOOD

[@JonathanPerez-yf3zx]

Nope

[@ayemaldo]

:(

[@Fennxko]

I’d get a PS5

[@ayemaldo]

PS5 is cool too, a bit more money, but also really good

[@weplayvrgames]

No its an xbox so waste of money

[@TommyBlack-f1e]

Playstation is waste of money. Do you wanna play online games? Hey, pay for it?
