24" 1080p 144hz monitor with series S feels like im in HEAVEN.. i got the monitor, series s, 3 monyhs of gamepass AND had money to preorder DD2 for the same price as a ps5 slim.

[@jordandeare9420]

As a Ps4 guy switching to the series S on Tuesday def excited especially for game pass !

[@EasyHeat]

I put an SSD in my son's PS4 Pro recently. Dramatic performance boost. Especially in PSVR, although... The thing still frequently sounds like a freakin' jet engine. I think it's about time to do the whole DIY cooling fan upgrade and thermal paste replacement before it decides to bite the biscuit. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@thatboyhan3872]

How's the switch been I'm looking to switch as well

I went From PS4PRO Xboxonex Because only the Box had 4KUltra Disk playback

[@olusegunbelcon]

I got both ps5 and Xbox series s

[@ghtraining1]

Have a ps5 and Series S. I use the S more because of gamepass. Great Day1 games released. Found more backwards compatible games too that I couldn't find on the ps5.

[@AskyuhmodaTT]

PSA, most games aren't on the disc/have day 1 patches. This means most games will still use your bandwidth to install regardless of whether you bought it digitally or the disc version.

can I use an external hdd to store my game progress and transfer it again when I want to continue

[@joe5049]

I was a long time playstation guy. Went with the series s and absolutely love it.

[@jesushernandez-tz4fg]

Can someone tell how much a xbox series S cost in GameStop

[@Arcansas]

It’s totally worth it. I was always on team green when I chosed a console. Tomorrow my one will be delivered at a price tag of 230€ with 3 months of Gamepass ultimate. I’m really looking forward to play elden ring once again, and prepare my character for the upcoming DLC instead of using my PC. If you have a powerful gaming pc it’s a wonderful second device to use at a different place.

[@WopBigOnBitness]

how do you get more fps w/o upgrading

[@Nave635]

I got a used xbox series s on my local facebook marketplace for 120 usd... did I get a steal?

If it’s working fine and the condition is good, you got it for free man. Which country by the way ?

[@pakistanireader5517]

[@Nave635]

I am from Canada, it has a few scratches but otherwise works perfectly fine

[@mrwannabe00]

Of course it's a deal

[@Mr_Mack88]

I play my Series X all the time and I really enjoy it, even when I had a PS4 and Xbox One my Xbox was still my main console. I have a PS5 and Switch OLED also and I even play my Switch more than I do my PS5 (might be weird but that’s just me lol) as soon as I get me some more good games for PS5 I’ll be playing that a lot more. I use Xbox game pass core because when I used to use ultimate game pass I mostly played like 3 games off the subscription service and felt I wasn’t taking advantage of it I mostly play online games like Halo multiplayer and Titanfall 2. So I felt like I’d be better off saving me some money and just getting game pass core and I’m not missing game pass ultimate at all, I just go with what’s best for me. 😊

[@abrangranados9325]

To be honest the series s seems perfect unless you plan on playing on a big tv with 4k capabilities the x would be better. But in 2 more years we should have a new console so i rather wait and upgrade at that point

[@IZenJustBetter]

i’m prolly gonna get the xbox series s now instead of waiting for the new one in november cus im not waiting 8 whole months for features that i could care less about

[@IZenJustBetter]

although im not sure if i should get the white or black version,but the black version is 50 dollars extra but it does have 1 TB,still not sure tho

[@MoodieJazz17]

Get the black one. $50 for 1TB is great compared to having to pay $100+ for an expansion card on the white one. I have the original Series S, even though I do love it I need the expansion card since storage is little.

[@voita9498]

guys i curious about if the series s will still be considered next gen when the new console will release

[@MoodieJazz17]

@@voita9498 Not even the PS5 will be considered next gen once new consoles are released so I don’t understand where you’re coming from.

[@ChopPvP]

You should just wait broski. Why buy something now when a new device is coming? Don’t try to convince yourself because you’re having the rush of wanting to buy something now. Just wait it out.

[@toolegittv8993]

I love me xbox series s

[@Stoaneh]

FYI this mid gen xbox thing is fake news. Phil Spencer at Gamescon ( Aug 2023) already shot this down. Says devs haven't even pushed current hardware so it would be a waste of everyone's time. Samething with ps5 pro alot of devs are pushing back. Makes no sense to have new hardware when they are rumored to start next gen console in 2026.

[@natew5593]

I think the Series S is a nice budget option. I have a PS5 but this allows me to play Xbox and gamepass titles, I don’t really do PC, so I think each machine serves a unique function for a specific demographic

[@djpwrc]

I recently bought one it's just perfect. It plays games, runs perfectly fine, has a large catalogue of games too. Let's be realistic too, how many people that buy PS5/X actually utilise the 8k gaming from a TV, The "insane power" when most people really just play easy to run games, That's why this console is just perfect. It's purely for gaming and not giving a fuck about spec numbers and just enjoying the fun with or without friends. It's also super portable. Took mine to a house party with 4 controllers, like reliving the Wii Days with my friends.

[@awes0men0b0dy9]

I have a carbon black xbox and love it, I want to get a second xbox s maybe the original one as my parents are divorced and it sucks only gaming for half the week and whilst I could get the carbon one again I mostly just play call of duty and Fortnite and I have some other games that I occasionally play but not as much so yeah I might

[@faby_baby]

Nice. Sorry about your parents Hopefully this can help. Read carefully.. Jesus will fulfill you more than anything in this world, I speak from experience (from when i did Romans 10:9-13), he loves you and wants to be in a meaningful (not romantic) relationship with you. :) “that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭10‬:‭9‬-‭13‬ ‭KJV‬‬ “and saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.” ‭‭Mark‬ ‭1‬:‭15‬ ‭KJV‬‬ If you want proof that Jesus and the Bible are true look a documentary called “Ron Wyatt discoveries 2022” on KZbin and a KZbin channel called Expedition Bible. They both examine archeological sites and discoveries that prove the Bible, and even reference secular sources. (Just don’t convert to 7th day Adventism after watching the documentary) And lastly if you don’t know the gospel and want to be saved search up “abc’s of Salvation Teenmissions” on Google and it should be the first or second result. When you click on it read the whole thing, and do what it says and have faith in Jesus while you are doing it, do not doubt, and if it is hard for you to do what it says, ask Jesus to help you, have faith that he will, and *he will.* God Bless :)

[@twitchyglitch591]

It’s way cheaper than the series x for the same experience plus 3 months of gamepass

[@lagbhai2221]

I have been using the Series S for about 7 months now There have been times when games were lower in resolution 864-900p And I have been waiting to upgrade to the Series X for few reasons 1. Storage 2. Resolution and graphic quality The only thing holding me back from making the move is the form factor Bcz The Series s fits perfectly in my setup… And I love the liitle box ❤

[@wayner7263]

I think they are coming out with a digital only xbox series x which is the size of series s (or close to it).

[@susanna8612]

I bought 2 TB external hardrive memory for my Series S for 85€. Console cost for me 200€ with 3 month game pass. So under 300€ I got new gen console with 2.5TB memory :) and graphically it looks really good in my TV. Tiny bit of difference compared to Series X what comes to graphics but so tiny that its hard to see unless u really pay attention and compare them side by side.

[@nenola504]

I play on 1440p on my series s looks exactly like my lil brother ps5

[@tommyboy6111]

Nope! I had the S there are so many games that looks like trash. Especially if you have a good TV. The (4k upscaling) only goes so far. Save up a little bit more and get the X 😁

[@AzadC]

One few things at that time when i actually had it. Before i returned it to the store i bought it from. That i didnt knew at that time. Was one can actually play games on it that normally arent on natively supported on it. Due to it having microsoft edge browser which lets one play by cloud based game streaming service providers like geforce now and boosteroid

[@blacknight88]

4k tv requires 4k consoles, otherwise it will not look good. Especially when playing on a big tv

[@abrangranados9325]

I bet higher graphics make you a better player

[@tommyboy6111]

@@blacknight88 You'll casual showing big time why they comment lmao 🤣

[@MoodieJazz17]

Graphics don’t matter much considering I have a PS5 and would use performance mode more than quality. Even stopped using my PS5 to get back on series s because I have more fun on it.

[@paulreynolds7103]

It's good for the money but if you can upgrade if it's worth it to you💰💸

[@HotshotTek]

Yup 👍🏼

[@wayner7263]

As a XBox series X owner, I feel the series S holds back developing games for xbox console. Why? Because of Microsoft's policy of games having to be able to run on both systems. This issue was much more noticeable with the release of Baldurs Gate 3. Us series X owners could not enjoy BD3 because the series S version had problems with multiplayer. It took like 1/2 a year of outcry from the xbox community to get Microsoft to negotiate with the publisher such that the game for series S didnt have to be on par with series X. A lot of publishers then went public with not wanting to develop games for XBox because they didnt want to scale back their creation just to fit the series S.

[@susanna8612]

It was only BG3 tho. No other game developers has complained about it and all mayor games has come to Series consoles on time. Beside when BG3 came out there were so many other big games coming out too so nobody even had time to play all at once. Even still today, I havent have time to play BG3... Game Pass has have too many good games to play and more is coming. Maybe when the BG3 finally comes to Gamepass, I will play it.

[@matthew6987]

It actually help BG3, and help them with lower end hardware. Handheld PCs and lower end PCs.

[@susanna8612]

@@matthew6987 Exactly. And the game was all the time coming to series consoles even if it came 3 month later, Microsoft didnt need to negotiate anything because few boys crying that they didnt have their candy on same day as their friend. The game was on making to Series consoles anyways.

[@stephenthompson2505]

Xbox series s isn't holding nothing back BG3 was due to split screen nothing to do with the console... Jump of that band wagon

[@user-ud4jd8zr5t]

Ps5 is worth it then Xbox series s if u have a lot of Xbox games that is not digital and ps5 u can add the disc drive on the digital to make it physical

[@blacknight88]

The series s has a better look and design than series x

[@lukemorris9066]

Seriously i must be playing different boxes because when ppl say the series s is only missing a little bit graphically compared to series x i honestly wonder what planet there on ... the series s is a very capable console so no slant on it but theres a big difference between the 2 i dont know why reviewers like this talk utta nonsense .... seriously whats the point? Do not buy a series s thinking you'll get an experience like series x in some games its not even kinda close in others the series s holds its own well but still the difference is 100% noticeable... these reviewers are a joke.

[@jonrogers7995]

Probably it really does. I strongly suspect they’re paid by Microsoft. They own both and if they who owns both said the same thing it’s likely true. So buy it yourself and see.

Last Christmas I got my son a Series S with an IPS 24" 1080p 144hz e-sports rated gaming monitor. It's quite honestly the overall ideal COD/Warzone/Halo/Destiny competitive FPS setup IMO. The 24" inch screen at 1080p with a 120Hz refresh rate wearing a pair of blue blocking glasses? Is just lushly comfortable, highly efficient, and far less of an eye strain compared to playing an FPS on the living room 50" HDR10 4k 60hz HDTV, which is where his prior SSD upgraded PS4 Pro and maxed out PSVR console rig resides. That 120hz Series S monitor refresh rate? Provides an absolutely crucial competitive edge IMO. My 10 year old mini-me is now clutching wins in COD gun game, and routinely saving his daddy who was previously a legit XGC Halo 2 semi-pro & a closed server multiplayer map tester for COD4 way back in 2006! LMAO! Dat's muh Boi! #Pewpew
