I got my Series S about 4 weeks ago and I am absolutely blown away by the performance of the tiny boxed beast! I've had my PS5 for six months but I wanted an Xbox for my gamepass subscription lol I couldn't find the Series X in stock so I went with the series S (despite my trepidation caused by the negativity surrounding the console). I do NOT regret my decision one bit, honestly the series S is such a BEAST of a console. What's blown me away the most is it's ability to upscale all games to match my 4K display even though the system is designed to hit 1440p at 60fps it upscales to 4K REALLY well (better than my PS4 pro) while maintaining 60fps in even the most intensive games. I've also tested running games at 1080p but 120fps and I'm just blown away at how well it does. The amount of hate I get on YT comments surprised me. I've literally had people tell me that because of my decision to support the series S, I was the reason that games are being held back SMH 😑 the ignorance of people is palpable because the reality is games are NOT being held back by the series S, they're being held back by the PS4/Xbox one. The series S uses the same SSD, the same CPU/GPU as the series X albeit with slower clock speeds and less compute units respectively. Games can still be designed without issues and scaled down to hit 1440p 60fps. The PS5/XSX need the extra graphical grunt to run games at or close to native 4K 60fps. Gee, this comment is way longer than I had intended but I am extremely passionate about my series S console lol happy gaming ✌️

the Xbox series s is such a little monster !

Been so addicted to my series s! It's probably been one of the best decisions made in a long time! So much joy from this little beast

I’m a ex PS4 owner and current PC gamer, this system has definitely impressed me, I’m surprised by the lack of love from the Xbox community, it seems people prefer the series X, the X is great but the availability and scalping is horrible, I also find it to be a big ugly system lol. This Little cute series S is all anyone really needs, 1440p at 60/120hz for $300 is very impressive! Can’t wait to pick one up.

To save am much HD space as you can, if you set your External HD as the default to install games too, when an X/S optimized needs to install on the internal storage it will just ask to install there.

I bought my series S like half year ago and I LOVE IT every day, this smol console just makes my day better and yes I do have a gaming pc way more powerfull but having all the easy life features like quick resume or just by playing old 360 or one games with no effort just makes it so damn great. About old games I thought only OG xbox and 360 games were able to install on external drives, I'll buy an external disc for xbox one games cause I really want to play some and for example Halo 5 it's up to 100GB.

I never thought the home menu was overcluttered. It's actually my favorite out of all the modern consoles, especially since you can customize it and take categories away.

Good video. I've got 30GB left between my internal drive and the 4TB external hard drive. 98% of my games are owned. I'm getting the 1TB SSD expansion drive on Friday to have more space and to put giant games like Microsoft Flight Simulator on it. Microsoft said that the console will read both the hard drive and the expansion drive at the same time. It will be interesting to see this. I prefer the design and the size of the S. I'm not a physical game kind of guy cause I also have a PS4 and a Switch and I don't want a shelf full of games to contend with. I don't plan on upgrading from the S as I'm happy with it.

For Series X|S optimized games; if you go into manage game and file info, there is a string that will say either "gen 9" or gen 9 aware." Gen 9 Aware games don't require use of the internal SSD and can be played normally through any external storage that is USB 3.0 compatible. Only "Gen 9" games require the internal storage.

[TheOnlyRealGamerOnEarth]

You can still store the x/s games on an external drive and just move them to the internal when you want to play them. Saves a lot of space.

Nice straight to the point vid, but a couple of notes:

1. Some of X/S enhanced games could be actually installed on slower external memory. The Division 2, Mass Effect Legendary Edition, Halo Master chief Collection to name a few.

2. Quick resume doesn't eat your speeds, only running game does. Just exit the current running game and speeds will be back.

The series s can do about as much as a PS5 it can do more by allowing you to play 4 generations of Xbox games

[sanchezs]

I expect hate from the Pony boys but when you have hate from Xbox fans as well on the Series S then it breaks my heart. I own both X/S consoles and love both of them equally but i have to say that the Series S is a beast of a console for the price. For those complaining about storage then just buy a cheap HDD or SSD

[gurryyyy]

the thumbnail is when you start your Xbox that is not a problem of an Xbox it’s just normal it won’t do nothing that is an start up button

straight to the point no bs :) this guy deserves more views and his videos are top notch made.

Dev mode is no longer required for RetroArch, it's available in retail mode too.

I'd rather buy the series S over the PS5
1. The series S is more affordable
2. Since the series S is small and shaped like a box it's enough space for your gaming set up
3. Since it more affordable you can buy accessories at your disposal
4. It has better features like quick resume when running multiple applications at the same time in the background
I made the right choices buying the series S over the PS5
Take my advice if you ppl want a next gen console the Series S is the way too go

[Ultrontu]

this is a good video man because i have a series s and i saw this video from the Notis glad i seen it man keep up the great work brotha

[monkeysruleovergorillas]

quick resume has never affected my performance on games, although it annoys me that whenever i download an app i need to close 15 games i am playing so it can download normally

[chancewindham]
