Here's the thing, Series S for me is a perfect purchase. I value the compactness of the Series S as I travel between Taiwan and California quite a lot and have to carry the console around for me. I used to have the original Xbox, a thicc dingus that will take up an entire hand carry luggage and often means that I have to pay for the steep airline rate for extra luggage, but now with the series S, the whole console feels not too much bigger than just the ac adaptor of the original Xbox One, and I can just throw it in my clothing pile when I'm packing. The compactness of the Series S probably saved me hundreds in luggage fees down the line. And looking at how big a PS5 and a series X is, I feel like this is the right choice

Series X isn't native 4k neither. It outputs 4k, but the actual internal render resolution varies by games. For the last gen, we've been playing games running at 900p and upsacled to 1080p, and it is the same with next gen. I've seen websites saying some xbox series game render at 1556p, or something like that. So both X and S are upscaling

To anyone interested, I have owned a Series S and a PS5 for little over a year now and I do not regret buying the Series S whatsoever. I play all my multiplayer games on the Series S while all my single player/PS exclusives on the PlayStation. Reason being all my friends are on Xbox and I prefer the Xbox controller. Games like MW2 (2022) runs 120FPS at 1080p without any issues. Load times are very alike to the load times on the PS5 sometimes it even feels faster. Quiet and small. Performance issues such as hitches and stutters NEVER happened. Only two downsides to the console in my opinion, but I knew them before I bought the console, is the resolution and storage. When playing high demanding games and you look into the distance it is very clearly blurry or missing textures, sometimes you can see the world load in (pop) as you walk around, and sadly the storage can get filled up very very very quickly.

Don’t forget about the storage price. The main reason I recommended my little brother to get the x is that it comes with like 400gbs more storage instead of paying 200 bucks for the storage upgrade on the s. If you’re gonna do that then the 200 you would’ve spent on storage could’ve just been used to get the x which has more power and more built in storage

That's a good point. But don't forget, you only need that hyper-fast storage for true Xbox Series games. For OG Xbox, 360 and One games, you can use any old external HDD or SSD. I for one don't foresee myself needing more than ~500GB of next-gen storage.

@jeremyjacobsen7600 3 жыл бұрын
If you're still deciding, let me help: for those of you who had the Xbox one or one s, did you care that you didn't have the one x? If you didn't care about that, then you won't care about this. If the series s was 50 dollars cheaper, then you could buy two of them for the price of one series x. It's not worth it, unless you really need either the storage space or disc drive. But those should be the only two deciding factors. The difference in computing power is only something you'll notice if you compare it to other people. Every game you get will look great and even better than the games on last gen. Don't fool yourself into thinking that just because something better exists that you need to go for it. Save the two hundred dollars. The Series S is a great console and even better than last gen stuff. Think about what the previous Xbox's could run: RDR2, Forza Horizon 4, Gears of War 5, etc. All those games look gorgeous on the older systems, do you really think you're going to need an improvement on that? The series S is already better than last gen, and a way better deal, plus they're actually in stock, so if none of the other reasoning helped you, at least you're able to get a series s right now instead of waiting for the other one to come in stock

I got the series S so that I could play MS Flight Sim. I had been waiting for the series X, which is impossible to find here in Australia. But as soon as I saw how well Flight Sim runs on the SS I dropped what I was doing and went and got one that very day. I am very happy with it so far, I can't go back to 30fps for a lot of games now that i have finally tasted 60fps. Plus the load times are amazing! We have come a long way from my old C64. Sure I wish I had the SX, but the fact it that they are very hard to find and when I can get one I will trade in my SS so it's not a big deal. I also bought the SSD, which is a must if you go for the SS. But I will keep that when I finally get a SX as the extra space will be handy.

@Zenithone_ 3 жыл бұрын
The main reason I find the Series S more appealing personally, other than the price and looks, is that I think of it this way: I play on my regular Xbox One, and don't see a single pixel, or complain about the graphics at all. Now, you take that, make it 2K, and add ray tracing, all for only 300 dollars.
@masitraproductions977
@masitraproductions977 3 жыл бұрын
Same. I think for FPS players and online competitive gaming (cod, fortnight etc), the differences between the s and the x is negligible. Its not until you get into large open world RPG games until the differences can be noticeable with the S running lower FPS and resolution. All in all tho the S looks like a great upgrade to anyone with a stock xbox one.

If you have a 4K TV and play relatively close to it, 1080p looks like absolute crap. 1440p looks decent, but 4k looks absolutely sharp and clear. I remember when I had my Xbox One S and I moved from a 22' 1080p monitor to a 43' 4K TV and everything just looked like it had been coated in vaseline. Now I have a gaming PC and playing games like Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 or Forza Horizon 3 at 4K the sharpness is just on another level.

They cut everything they could to get the price down to $300. That extra 512GB would probably have forced the console to be close to $400, then it's even more pointless next to Series X at $500. But don't worry. SSDs are the one thing that are getting cheaper each year, so they'll probably release a $300 Series S 1TB in a year or two.

Anyway, I was wondering if a US console would operate in the UK in terms of power(not region lock etc) I know that the new consoles are dual voltage, BUT, would I be able to operate it safely using just a simple plug adapter? Or would I need a voltage decrease converter?? Thanks

I only play 3-4 games at a time so small SSD doesn't bother me and lack of blu ray is OK because I'm all about digital. Also game pass is absolutely amazing, I'm seeing great offers in the Store too.

Every single game from my childhood and from every console generation in one machine? Was definitely worth the buy. Can swap from playing Mega Man NES games to playing GTA San Andreas with the press of a few buttons. Just need to get an external hard drive and I think this is the only console I’ll ever need to be honest.

When i first heard about it i was absolutely excited for it, but reality showed us otherwise, the console doesn't hold 1440 p 60 fps at all, take for example AC vahlalla, it can't even run 60 fps 1080 p on series s.... I'm gonna stick with series x

At first I was on the fence about whether or not I’m gonna get the series x/s until I decided to get a 4K tv that is when I decided to get the next gen I wanted to get the X but for obvious reasons I couldn’t so I went for the S I don’t think I’ll regret it and if you have a 4K tv you can still enjoy the S if you don’t mind the slightly lower resolution.

I’ve bought one to go alongside my PS5. The only content I will use on it is gamepass, I won’t be buying games for it. With that in mind, it’s a superb little box. In years to come I may sell it on and buy a Series X when they release one with a larger HDD in a few years and there’s the content to warrant it. Honestly for the money, I think it’s fantastic.

I got the same thing in mind! I just wanna be able to play older games that the PS5 simply just won't let me. I'd get a XSX, but I honestly want to play games on gamepass anyway and buy games for the PS5 only. My only qualms is that I'm gonna be upgrading to a 4k tv from my 12 yr old plasma soon. So the series S might have problems on a 4k screen. Looking at the LG CX or C1. Thoughts you guys?

I have a series S and game pass and am having an absolute blast on exclusives and other stuff, looks great on my 4k TV but then I don't get so hung up on the stats. Its a great way to get on with my friends who only play pc or xbox. My main console will be the disc ps5 which arrives this week. Storage is an issue on all these new generation consoles but also a bonus in terms of load times and performance etc. Series S is a fantastic console for the price, its form factor is unobtrusive and power consumption is great. Its a no brainer if you don't own Microsoft hardware and want to try out game pass. Series X if you love Microsoft and want the full works, but S has its place and I have zero regrets. Just my opinion.

I’m on PC / PS4 and the S is a nice option for me with GamePass. Yeah I can stay on PC but $300 isn’t too bad. My only gripe about it is the internal SSD is already removable. I imagine it’s for immediate ramping up of new SKUs that offer larger storage. And who’s to say an all digital Series X won’t follow soon. Otherwise I could make 360GB work until I’m running to GameStop to trade it in. That’s one key take away. The other take away is that many backwards compatible games will run at 900p. That kinda sucks. I hope they can enforce a 1080p 60fps performance mode regardless of the developers choices. Optimized S sometimes focuses on 1440p upscaled to 4K at 30FPS. Still wish I could rock 60fps locked at 1080p as an option.

2070ti isn't a real thing. Your seller did you dirty. Series S is legit nice but I struggle with the fact that it doesn't have a disk drive. The xbox marketplace isn't consistent enough in its pricing to do away with disks all together Eg: I bought Nba 2k21 disk for $20 for my xbox one x. But on the marketplace it's listed as $100. Meanwhile Nba 2k22 has a sale at $49. Just doesn't make sense. So for now: Series S for gamepass ONLY. Series X will be my next upgrade when I get the money.

As someone who plays pc with a 1050 ti that can't play the newest games at 60 fps while also looking good (And also can't afford the Series X), would you say the framerate/resolution/performance would satisfy someone who is kinda expecting very high graphical fidelity?

I picked up a 244hz monitor too (all for the price of a series X lol) and i play games 120fps at 1440p and my frames literally only drop during cutscenes or transitional screens which it literally doesn't matter during those times anyway. Had my S for a month now with plans to upgrade to an X when they are more readily available but now i dont find it necessary. My friend has an X and 4k tv playing our games side by side there is so little difference its almost laughable that he paid 800$ for his while i paid 320 for mine....psa to anyone planning to come to next gen unless you need a disc drive go with the S you wont be disappointed
