Here's Why The Xbox Series S Is An Impressive Budget Console

The Xbox Series S was announced as a cheaper alternative to the Series X with a 300 dollar price tag. A lot of time a cheaper price tag means cheaper parts and build quality, however it looks like Microsoft continues to impress with their engineering coming up with a well build system in the Series S for the money.

I got a Series S and its so quiet vs my old 747 PS4.

I love how without the shell, it just looks like a large HDD.

I’m a PlayStation guy, but man the Series S and the GamePass are a really nice combo.

That might be ‘cheap’ packaging inside, but still secure and rigid enough to protect the console, and far more recyclable. Which is a good thing.

I love my Series S. It’s a perfect “cheap” next-gen console. Great for occasional game pass games and streaming. The big boy PS5 stays in the living room, but this is good for the bedroom

i'm a PS guy, but i love how MS engineered their consoles this gen, it looks so compact and efficient. i'll probably get an series S next year when halo or their other big hitters come out and supplies increase

If nobody in the comments has mentioned it, the sync button also acts as the IR receiver for the media remote controls, which is why it’s not a matte finish.

I love my Series S. Got it on launch day since I couldn't get an X and couldn't be happier. I've already taken it on a couple of trips so definitely good for traveling.

Haven't had an xbox since the 360, the series S has blown me away. I couldn't recommend this system more. Especially with all the scalping going on with the series X and PS5. Picked up Two of the series S on Amazon for a very good price. My wife was so impressed with the series S she had to have one too.

I bought the PS5 and the Series S this season. My son and I spent the vast majority of the weekend playing the Series S. It's a great system when combined with the game pass. I also particularly like the Xbox app. I'm sure the PS5 will become better over time, but Microsoft seems to be in a pretty strong position currently.

I’ve had my S since Nov, first time back to Xbox since 360. I’m loving this thing, perfect for the TV I have as it’s not 4K. I have a 3TB external HD hooked up to it for the games I will play, and the games I’m playing on the internal SSD. I’m new to GamePAss as well and its an amazing service. So overall a PS guy that is now mainly playing his S, I give it a 9/10. I’m very happy with this thing.

When you consider the controller is $60 on its own the system is on $240. Thats crazy.

*KFC:* Yeah but can you heat your chicken in it?

I used to have all the consoles growing up all the way to the GameCube. Then I went to college and I was distracted by women, beer, and trying to get good grades. I sold all my games and systems. Regret it hard now. Later I bought a Wii well after launch and mostly played Galaxy on it and Mario kart with the wife. Fast forward to 2018 and I’m convincing my son that he might want a Nintendo switch for Christmas. I love the switch and it lit the gamer spark in me again. I said all that to say I missed out on the ps3 ps4 and Xbox 360 and one eras of gaming. Just before Christmas I won a Xbox series s! For many of you it’s not much of an upgrade maybe, but for me huge. Game pass is amazing. I’m playing forza, Jedi fallen order, ori. My son and I can play Minecraft dungeons together. Games look great. So much fun. I’ll get a ps5 eventually, but to be honest I’m not in a hurry now. And I’m bouncing back and forth from switch and Xbox and wow those load times.

Spectacular combined with my year and a half left of Gamepass at $1 per month. And the storage isn't a problem as you can still use your external hard drive and transfer games to and fro in seconds.

I love my Series S, had it since November 14th, it rekindled my love for racing games, it feels like your really driving, I haven't been this excited playing since the arcade days in the 90s.

[LordYamcha]

Microsoft has killed it this year in terms of budget and performance

[josephjohnson]

I feel like the Series S was an incredibly smart move on Microsoft's part. Not only does it give people a more affordable option, but the lower price also should get Sony and Nintendo leaning gamers to dip in more easily as a second or third console. I've personally never owned an Xbox system, but I've never been more interested... Assuming they can deliver the games in the next year or two.

I just got one from best buy. Running cyberpunk alot better unfortunately it still crashed 1 time but most the bugs and freezes haven't happened since i switched over to the series s
