The Xbox Series S is 'TRASH' (and that's fine!)

People hate to love it and love to hate it, but the Xbox Series S deserves some attention.

This is actually a vibe check to see who watches the video before they comment 😏

edit: I can't believe I have to even say this, but if you're a fanboy that can't even see a guy *hella* liking your console, you're no better than the other team.

I LITERALLY KISS THE SERIES S IN THE VIDEO
*AND I DON'T KISS ANYONE!!*

One man's trash is another man's treasure.
I love the series S, it's my treasure

[sethious]

I'm gonna be honest, when I'm gaming on my series S vs my roommate on his series X I can't really tell a difference graphically. It's a beast of a machine

[SaphireTech]

I really like the Series S, I got it as a secondary to game on my tv instead of my PC. And honestly, the games I played so far on my 4K tv look just fine for me.

I just picked up a Series S the other day when I saw it on sale for $250. I have a Series X on the big 4K TV in the living room but I wanted a second system to grind in Elden Ring in the office without monopolizing the family screen. And for literally HALF the price of the Series X, I'm extremely impressed. There are many instances where I'd have difficulty telling the difference at all, and that's after playing a Series X daily for about a year.

I think when the dust settles on this console generation that the amount of Series S sold is going to outright shock people. This little box is on fire.

Been a PlayStation guy my whole life but their attitude towards backwards compatibility has always bugged the hell out of me. Gonna jump the fence and pick one of these bad boys up to play the Max Payne trilogy and some other early 2000/2010’s classics.

Having Game Pass on PC was the biggest motivator for me to pick up a Series S. There are enough console-only games in the library to make buying one worthwhile, if you don't already have an Xbox One. Sure, there is streaming available for a lot of them, but the input lag is a noticeable dealbreaker for many games.

If I want a game enough to drop $60+ on it, I'll get it for PC or PS5. But I also have a Switch, so games being in 4k with amazing graphics is clearly not the most important thing.

Developers just need to stop being lazy and try to actually develop for it. They keep porting over the last gen version of games to it with a few glittery features to keep xbox off it's back.

My living room console has been a One S for a while, and my kids requested a Series X. We don't even have a 4k television in the room they play, so we got a Series S. They absolutely love it.

Not all machines need to be top-of-the-line units. Just ask Nintendo.

I recently got Series S, and honestly, I'm very satisfied. I have a 1080p TV, so I have no need for 4K. The console is small, it's quiet, and hell, even small memory isn't an issue with fast internet. The only thing I could change is the support of external Blu-Ray players. Not for games, just for the movies. But then again, most of the movies I own on dvd and blu-ray discs, are already on streaming platforms. And with HBO MAX officially coming to Poland in March, the access to the movies will be even easier.

The people who call the series s trash are the same ones who want or have a PS5/series x for their non 4K TV's

i just bought a Series S after selling my old ps4 Og model, and what can I say... it's on another level. I'm loving the Xbox system so much... it feels responsive and well optimized. Games are fast to boot, and that quick resume is pure magic, jesus. Even if you turn off the console and unplug it and then open it again without wi-fi, it will boot the game where you left it. All of these details and optimization makes the ps4 feel old and outdated (it's my first Xbox)

[ET_Videos]

I just got a Series S to go along with my PS5 and Switch. It's a great little box for sure, especially for all the retro games on GamePass.

[lukehinkle]

Now I am convinced to appreciate my Series S much more. It actually does what I need and I lost the desire to get a Series X or even a PS5. I love Game Pass too, and play it on my ancient laptop from 2012, as well on my 2021
iPad Pro.

I just got the series s for my kids and I don't see why ppl say it's trash. We all love it in my family.

True story : A friend of mine got the disk PS5 a month before Christmas and got PS+, I got the Series S and subscribed for the game pass ultimate. Now in february 11 he has one game on disk which was 60$ and has played a couple of games from PS+ and said to me that hasn't played the console for several weeks. I on the other hand have enjoyed some great games like Forza, Ori And The Blind Forest, It Takes Two, Battlefield 5, MS Flight SImulator and more. Grabbed some games on a discount like Tomb Raider 2015 for 3$. Morale of the story? Unfortunately he got the PS5 as an expensive status symbol (at least 1000$) to sit near his TV. I got the S for gaming. Series S is the best value out there period and I've always been a pc player and laughed about console peasant jokes.

Had a blind spot in my reporting, I didn't really follow Destiny all that much and missed that the game isn't published by Activision anymore. Apologies from my dumb ass on the error 😩

[sad]

There are several people out there who picked a series s just for its compact size (including me). I had Series X and have not once regretted switching over to the series S since upscaled 900p/1080p or 1440p looks absolutely fine on a 55" oled tv from a normal viewing distance. I paired the thing with a external hd for older games and since then 364gb internal storage has been fine. Microsoft gives great value and features for less money.

I bought a series S this christmas, because it was available. And it's been absolutely stellar!

I'll get a series X when availability (and prices) return to the land of the sane 😅
