this is a better video then the one i watched with this old guy, actually talks about everything not just it being cheap and the s being the future.

I plan on buying the series S. I haven’t gamed since early Xbox 360 so I don’t need fancy graphics or speeds. The price point being £250 for the console with 3 months game pass was hard for me to ignore, I’m happy Xbox is trying to remove the entry barrier for newer gaming.

After maining an S for about 3 years I now have both. An X in the living room on the big 4K TV, and my faithful S which now lives on the desk in my office room connected to a HD monitor.

I will chime in with some advice for the following scenario which seems to be very common: what to do if you have around 500-600$ and you are split on which one to get. In this scenario, I would say there are two options. If you have that kind of money and you are very hesitant, it's obvious that for you, 4K gaming isn't gonna be a deal breaker even if you would enjoy having it. However if you don't already have a 4K TV, then you are gonna have to spend a significant sum of extra money just to get one. So with that in mind I would heavily suggest to just get the S and save yourself some money. It's not like the S is this huge downgrade in terms of graphics. Yeah the X looks quite a bit more crisp and clean on a 4K TV, but the S looks okay and will definitely get the job done. And like I said, if you are hesitant then you probably don't care about 4K THAT much. So just get the S and Game Pass and start playing, you'll have a good time. If you do already own a 4K TV, then obviously just get the X since your setup is ideal for it. The thing I would advise to keep in mind the most is the storage. On the X it's around 850 GB but on the S it's 350 GB. So unless you wanna get external memory or the expansion card, you will need to learn how to manage your space if you get an S. I struggled at first but I learned how to handle it and now I'm good. But if you want, you can just get the S and with the leftover cash you will still have enough to get the official expansion card which is expensive yes but if you find a good deal on it, it'll be totally worth it just for the ease of access. You just plug it in and you're good. No unscrewing panels and whatnot. Fyi I was in a similar boat, stuck between getting and X or S. But I did some research and realized since I have only a 1080p TV and a 4K would be too much for me, the S would be perfectly fine because I am noy that picky about graphics. And yes it was and still is totally great for me. I love my S and I use it everyday. Game Pass is great too. No complaints from me.

I seen lot of reviews but this the best thanks homie

Xbox X was the go to for me after realizing the X can run Baldurs Gate 3 features while the S cannot. I believe this will be the first for many games, splitting the X and S apart

[Jayreisofficial]

The s is an amazing console . I have the x now . But I'm not going to deny how amazing that little s is

[MetaITurtle]

I got the Series S first in 2020 and i love it! I just got the Series X this week, and i now realized i wasnt experiencing true next Gen until now. Also something i noticed, when i play Gears 5 my Series S is very loud with the fan. On the Series X its practically silent

[Jakethesnake]

This was really helpful keep up the good work

[ElisBuenas]

Very comprehensive and informative, thanks a lot! The Series S is a great console after all!

[zomg]

I become super casual and sold my x and pc with 6950xt and just use series s and it’s more than enough.my tv does such amazing job upscaling 1080p still looks really good plus series s is really small so it’s very easy to travel with

[Haddley]

I bought the series x for 350 new during holidays and it's well worth the price. It's built really well and quiet. I'm playing on a 1400p monitor but that doesn't bother me at all because I always choose performance in games, and in performance mode you're not getting 4k anyways, usually it's dynamic 1400-1800p if not less, of course depends on game.

[ghtraining]

I know it'san upscaled 4k uhd option on series s but it looks pretty good on my 4k 60 fps tv. Much better than on a 1080 tv. I already bought an expansion card. I am on the fence of getting an X but I don't know if I really need to.

Great video. Trying to decide which to buy ahead of College Football 25

[malcolmthorne]

Thanks, dude. My old trusty Xbox One just rode off past the horizon.
This was helpful info for my decision on a new console.

[CheekSmackerFromrd]

It’s night a day from S to X . I now play on 120fps & love it. I can now keep up with pc players on fps games

[m.a.p.dmstrainingandequipm]

What’s is never talked about is the necessity to have a strong internet connection with the S and Game Pass when the X can play non-online games.

Being in a wifi “dead” zone, playing streaming games and online teams can be an issue and frustrating as you loose connection and, therefore, your game progress. With the X offering physical games options, this can be the only solution when having bad internet connection
