By Performance I meant QUALITY/ GRAPHICS. Performance is often at 60 FPS but QUALITY/ GRAPHICS is 30 FPS on Series S...OFTEN!

The storage upgrade I really think should not be a reason in most cases, It's a digital console, you just delete games you are not playing and download what you want to play for the next week or so, I have mine for some time now, and never have passed of 75% of storage utilization, and I do not own any external storage or expansion card right now, because I keep only the games I will be playing for the next few weeks. You just need to manage what you're going to play, and if you like only massive games, you would buy the expansion storage anyway.

Nah it is a downside. It's actually the only legit downside to the console. Most of the other stuff doesn't seem to fit. Downloading and erasing games negated the entire reason for buying extra storage. You do that so you don't have to redownload things. And yes you can store stuff elsewhere, but you still have to move things over which usually takes just as long. And with NvME cost like $200+ or whatever, at that point you should have just got the X. I'm NOT saying it's a deal breaking at all or it even subtracts from the legit value of the S. But it definitely is a negative that most people over look until they get to the point of needing new storage. I have a S simply because I have a Pc and couldn't get an X anywhere. If I could I definitely would have got the X looking in hindsight. So yes you can just manage games but not everyone only plays 3 or 4 games at a time. Especially when you take into account what your friends might want to play with you and the rising space requirements for newer games. Basically any game past 2022 will not be able to be played off anything outside of internal storage or an NvME. Which all of this further proves this is definitively a console for more casual gaming or people who own other systems. Which isn't a bad thing at all. Just how it is

@@pHixiq agree with most of what you said here, mainly that the storage is a downside. However, you don't need to spend 200+ on a nvme. I bought a 1tb nvme and an enclosure for about 120$ Canadian last year, and you can get the same for about 95$ Canadian this year. Takes like 5 minutes to move large games like call of duty back or forth.

I bought the Series S well over a year ago now due to lack of availability for the Series X and have been pleasantly surprised with it. In fact the X has been available here and there and yet I held off on “upgrading” to the X and continue to game primarily with my S. Yeah the internal SSD is lacking but there’s inexpensive options for that. I’d say keep your expectations low and you may possibly pleasantly surprised too

I got the series s last year for $250 at best buy and I've been pretty happy with it too. I've always been a Playstation guy but I said what the heck let's give this a shot. I have a PS4 pro on a 4ktv and graphically I don't see a difference but the load times are nice and games seem to run a Little smoother on the S. Although I'm not using game pass at the moment, that was a great way to try a bunch of new games for a great deal. I am considering getting the X now that it's more available but really want to be content now and wait for the mid Gen upgrade consoles when they come out cause I know myself and will want it.

Although I play on PC only, I think it's a good thing that the Series S exists. The price difference between the S and X is significant. The S varient allows people on a budget to play and have fun. I think it's impressive what it packs in such a small box and it's good stuff for people gaming on a 1080p screen. I think Microsoft catering to that budget segment was a good thing for a ton of people

The storage is one of the biggest issues i have with the Series S as by the time you upgrade that with the 512gb M.2 which is ridiculously priced at £118.59 you are only £81.42 off the price of the Series X which is a much better console. Edit: it seems they've dropped the price of the Series S to £199.99 which you can't complain about at that price, that's insane value for money. At this lower price you're now £130.43 off the price of the Series X once you upgrade the storage with a 512gb M.2.
@jayjayhooksch1
@jayjayhooksch1 Год назад
Are you referring to the proprietary SSD expansion card when you say m.2? Because 512gb m.2 is pretty cheap, 40-60$ Canadian depending if you want SATA 3 or nvme. Personally I went with 1tb nvme for 75$. Then you need to add an enclosure for another 20$ and there you have pretty cheap and fast storage for the series S.

At the moment I'm still saving money for the Series S, and next week I can finally buy it. I don't want to buy Series X even if I can afford it, because in my case I have a gaming laptop that is quite powerful for these days and a very good setup for it, so I don't really need a very sophisticated console . It seems to me that Series S is really a powerhouse for its price and the only minus is its storage, but if you have a good PC or a good gaming laptop, just like in my case, this console will be more than perfect for you. And let's not forget the fact that Series S can upscale to 4K if you have a good TV. At least for me it can easily upscale to 4K because of the TV. And for those who ask why I need a console when I have a gaming setup, it's simply a personal preference, I love to play in front of a big TV with pretty good graphics at a good frame rate. So here it's strictly up to you, if you only use the console, think about buying a Series X or a PS5, if you also have a gaming PC/Laptop, you can do the same thing as me, it's much better and you save more money that you can use for accessories for the console such as (charging station, new controller, thumbstick grips, etc.) or new games or a gamepass. Edit: I didn’t know I made this comment so long 😂 anyways , love your console even it’s an X/S or PS

I would also add that it also matters which two check marks you have to check. As for me I never ever owned a console, i only used to game on PC, but since I became a dad 3 years ago I got a full time job fresh out of university and lost my gaming time. Hence my already then outdated pc is even more outdated now and it simply is not able to play newer games. But back to the point. I am planning on buying a console now, that my daughter can go to sleep by herself now, and she loves sleeping over at her grandparents' house from time to time, on holydays, some weekends etc. So now I have a few hours a week especially on weekend afternoons. I do own a 50 inch 4k hdr tv, and I would like to game from time to time. Now for those few hours a week/month I believe that the series S could be the perfect fit for me. I am a petrolhead and I love fiddling around with cars on forza, so that would probably be my main game. I do not feel any urge to play on a switch as Nintendo games simply do not do it for me. The PS5 is literally never available in my country and it costs way too much for the three exclusives that I am interested in it is not an option. About 300usd for a series s, about 550 for a series x and around 700 for a ps5 is just insane for the money that we make around here. CONCLUSION: I believe that i would probably be fine with the small storage since I would only have like 2 games installed on the console anyway. I do not own any physical games, and I only plan on subscrubing to game pass. HENCE I believe that spending over 500usd for the series X would be kinda over the top for a user like me, even though I own a relatively nice TV. With little time to game, and no connection to any platform it might be the right choice. Thanks for reading this long mess of a comment.

I'll be honest, I bought my Series S back in February when it seemed like the chip shortage was going to drag on forever and used it in tandem with my OG 500GB Xbox One (that I bought in early 2016) for disc-based games. Then a Series X made itself available at retail in June and I grabbed it. Now my Xbox One is fully retired and I have moved my Series S into the spare room where I have it hooked up to my 27" 1080p PC monitor. I only usually subscribe to Game Pass for two or three months a year but have 40+ games purchased digitally. The Series S is perfect for what I want it for. In general, the Series S is definitely NOT "trash" as the elitists like to say. It's a great performing console.

There may be another reason not to buy a series S and that reason is because apparently devs are pushing to not make or optimize games for it because they also consider it a potato and it greatly hinders development for the series X versions of the game , read a few articles like that and breathed a sigh of relief I bought a series X , another thing Look at game reviews on the Xbox store , majority of people will say there series X runs majority of games like dog water. I see non stop complaining and regrets about buying it just because it was all that was available at the time .. I found my series X at the source with 10 in stock and 15 ps5s during scalping season you just gotta do some proper sourcing

And I totally understand people buying them for convenience and to pack in/pack out of friends houses easily and that's all super awesome and great for what it is but if it's also gonna be your main home console just go X you'll have a better time and it gives you incentive to upgrade your tv at some point and the thing is more packable then an Xbox 360

@pHixiq

The ONLY real downside to the S is the storage. The NvME cost too much which basically puts you in the range of "I should have just got the X anyway". 300 for the S(more like 340+ depending on your tax) and another $200 or whatever for NvME is too much. That's the only real downside to the console. Storage expansion sucks And for people who don't know, *you can not play X|S games off of any storage that's not NVmE* . So yes, you could get a TB storage for cheaper. But none of the X|S games can be played off of them. Which basically means you'll be managing your internal storage as if you never even got expanded storage. And also means if you opt to buy a NvME, you should have went for the X anyway. Does not take away from the value at all. But definitely a negative either way

All great points... I am enjoying the S. It has been a great way to get into next Gen for a good price and get into X box gaming for the first time. I would of easily gotten the PS5 digital if it were easier to get one so Microsoft made a good move with this option. Now that the series X is more available I am considering it like you said in the last couple of points BUT the mid Gen versions will be coming out likely in a couple years and I really want to be patient for that cause I know I'll want it and the S can be my secondary console.

If you have not purchased a new xbox of PS5 yet I recommend getting a $300 1440P monitor or A HDMI 2.1 TV 1st in my opinion it is pointless

This video pretty much confirms that the Series S is the right option for me. 1) It's not my only console. I also have an Xbox One and a Switch. 2) The included storage is pretty pathetic in this day and age, but I don't do enough gaming for it to be a major issue. I'd probably have Forza Horizon 5 installed in perpetuity while cycling through a few indie games and one more occasional AAA title. 3) I moved away from physical games a long time ago. The only physical Xbox One game I still have is the Deluxe Edition of Final Fantasy XV. I have a pretty big library of digital games, however, and the Series S would be perfect for those. 4) I haven't made the upgrade to 4K and don't plan to do so anytime soon. The Series S is all I need for my 1080p television. 5) I've also moved away from DVD and Blu-ray for the most part. I still have some older stuff on DVD and Blu-ray, but almost all of my movie and series purchases in the last few years have been digital. I have a huge digital library of movies and series on Microsoft Movies & TV (which is obviously perfectly suited for streaming via the Series S). 6) The resolution issue doesn't bother me since I game on a 1080p television. A frame rate of 30 fps is fine for me too. Graphical fidelity has taken a bit of a hit in certain titles, but I think that's going to change once new development tools like Unreal Engine 5 start to be utilized more regularly.

The storage issue with the SSD isn't really much of a problem you can get a 2TB game drive for the Xbox Series S/X for £88/$108/€102 which if you have the Series S or getting the Series S it's cheaper than getting an Xbox Series X so if you only care about storage then you should probably get the Xbox Series S and the 2TB gamedrive
@pHixiq
@pHixiq Год назад
The issue with that is it puts you in the price territory of an X. As far as I'm aware(I just got expanded storage and was looking around for a bit), those TB expanded storages can not run X|S games off of them. As in, you will basically be managing your games as if you did not buy extra storage if you are playing X|S games. Since they still can only be played off the internal. Series S is going to cost you 300-360 with tax depending on where you stay. You add an extra $100+(NvME cost $200) then you straight up are paying the same amount as you would for an X. I have an expanded storage that's SSD. Only a year old in terms of when it was released. *I still can not run x|s games off of it as the X|S games require NvME. It says faster storage when debatably the storage I have should be very much fast enough So yes you can buy extra storage that isn't NVME and store stuff. But basically any game 2022 and on won't be able to run off it. I also do not think this takes away from the value of the S at all. It's a great console. But the storage issue is the ONLY real negative. Especially with the pricing of everything
@ghtraining1

@@pHixiq . The X has 850gb usable space, the ps5 has 667gb. Yeah 364 with the S is small but it's not like the X and ps5 came with 2tb of storage. You will very likely have to expand storage regardless what you choose. So I think you just have to add that $100-$200 to each console.

X box S is the best console ever made for casual player , family player because its backward compatible , gaming did not start last year , there are plenty good games , for those who want to play best new AAA tittles at 4K , have the best experience but alone in a dark room , then PS5 or X box X , but if you want those games that can be played in 2 , split screen , those are older , that way you can have family fun. As well as have a decent processor for Streaming , i have a Philips TV , its good 65inch TV , but Philips does not have CPU like Samsung or Sony , but when you add a good CPU to it , like in X box it becomes better TV . Games are about fun and mental excursive , after all there are people playing Chess professionally , so for a game to be good and look good you do not need PS5 or X . It all depends who you are , not what you want , but who you are . Far as im concerned even PS4 plus has more then capable hardware .But i do not like its prices , 70$ for a game , i have it i know . While i installed X box app on my PC god the same game for 20% of the price . I dont know why is this so but no one mentions it , Games are a lot more expensive on PS5.And when compared to PS4 pro in most games its not that big of a difference .

PC only user here (so far), no consoles, no physical games, no BluRay media, only 1080p monitors and TVs, and the storage problem looks like it's going to be solved in the new version of the S. On the other hand, I don't have time to play often, so even the Game Pass might not always make sense to me, and I don't think all the games I want to play are available on GP... When I think about it, maybe the best option for me, at least for now, is to upgrade my current GTX1060 with a used graphics card and keep going on it...
@GregLionProductions

I think it's a total waste if you don't want gold...but if you plan on playing online...you need to subscribe in one way or another. It makes available tons of titles free. Old games, new games. Storage is not a problem. Tinker with a game, or play it through to completion, then delete it. You can still have 4 or 5 high storage consuming games simultaneously. Bethesda titles are largely on the house...starfield will likely be available at a significant discount. Nothing can beat PC gaming. But if you want to try games on the fly for free, swap them out...I mean the console just sits there and does the work. Your physical disk is essentially worthless (from a trade or sell point of view) very quickly. I think it's a cool little console

I love my Series S. For a casual gamer who wants to play everything with a low cost barrier to entry, and literally doesnt care about shit like framerate or PS vs XBOX, it's a dream machine. The 512GB isn't limiting at all unless you are a weirdo who only plays AAA and for some reason needs to play a dozen games at a time. I have a few AAA's and a couple dozen indies/smaller games installed at any given time and don't feel restricted at all. That being said, for more hardcore gamer types, I can see why they would bitch.

As advertised this thing is a 1440P machine that means monitors or TV's up to 1440P are supported for the best graphical quality resolution and fidelity wise. for a 200$ potato box it sure sits on the the average 750$ PC performance off a current year build.
