I had a Series S, and this is my experience. It definitely felt next gen. I came from a standard PS4 Slim. I played it on a 4K TCL 4Series HDR TV. It did a great job upscaling to 4k and the frame rate was a huge difference. For the price it's awesome. However, out of curiosity I upgraded to a Series X and Sony Bravia X85J 4k TV (120FPS). Either way it's a huge upgrade from Xbox One and PS4. You get a lot of machine for 299. Oddly, a used PS4 is basically the same price. It's a no brainer if you don't feel like spending at least 650 on a PS5 or Series X.

The way the prices are on hardware and chip shortage and the Series S is actually more available, the value and portability makes S one of the best consoles out there

I love my Series S. I do not think I will upgrade to the X anytime soon. I also love the portability. I usually play in the garage, but I can easily grab it and go into house if need be. It’s fast and graphics look great.

[TCHGY]

I never really thought about using this as a pc substitute, but it looks great! How has your experience been over all using the series s like this?

[simonuk]

Brought a Series S because I was struggling to find a PS5 (always been PlayStation except for when I also had a X360) and just wanted to experience next gen albeit with a rival console. Decided I’d only use it for gamepass and save multi plats for when I eventually get a PS5 but after owning it for a few months I’ve actually brought at least 15 games and a few of those are games I already own on PS4 Pro due to the fps boost and auto HDR on some of them. Gotta say I absolutely love my little Series S, looks beautiful on my 55” C1 OLED and fully intend to upgrade to a Series X as well as a PS5. Microsoft did some real genius squeezing so much performance from such a little and relatively inexpensive box and is a great introduction to next gen (now current gen).

Side note: you don’t need hdmi 2.1 for Series S, hdmi 2.1 is required for 120hz @ 4K (2160p) but the Series S can only do upto 120hz @ 2K (1440p).

As someone who owns this console, its great, however I couldn't get rid of my gaming pc for this, I'm too big a fan of certain PC exclusives, but thats my personal thing. Only thing that annoys me is the small storage space. But I do have an external hard drive. Which mitigates most of that grievance

[PrecariousPorcupine]

This is going to be my first Xbox since the OG Xbox when I was a teenager. Mine will be delivered tomorrow, can’t wait!

[JamboLegion]

Got my Series S in May, absolutely no regrets.Not just the Xs little bro but a powerful console in its own right. Its a no brainer for £200 (I got a deal). All good

[fabiocannonz]

I have an Xbox series s and i'm SO happy with the console and gamepass. Here in Colombia Xbox series x costs $800 and ps5 digital 900 and blueray option almost $1000 so Xbox series s is the Best optin for me

[mrj]

i bought one a few month's ago and it's really worth the money + instead of buying series x or ps5 you can buy the series s and also make a gaming setup with the money left 10/10👍💙

Good detailed review, and good job showing the differences in the consoles. I'm still using my XBox One, but when I can afford it, I'm probably going to go the XBox Series X route. I'm old school, and I like having a disk drive and purchasing physical copies of games. I just don't completely trust going all digital. Plus it does seem like there are serious storage limitations to the XBox Series S. I hate having to constantly uninstall and remove games. It is interesting that the you lose some functionality by playing games off of an external hard drive. Right now, most of my XBox One games are run off of a portable external hard disk drive. I also find it interesting that the XBox Series S has HDMI 2.1 ports but only comes with an HDMI 2.0 cable. Good review with a lot of good information. - XBox Series S

[grgmj]

I have a PlayStation 5 and now a Xbox series S. This way I can play Sony games and Microsoft games. Awesome

[nyc_g]

The series s is just perfect for me, I’m fine with just 3 games at a time so that’s not a problem for me 😁

[algeroi]

For the new gamer the series S is the perfect choice, you'll be fascinated by image quality of the 1080p, like I have

[senseiscotch]

I ended up buying a Series S from Game (UK) when they had a promotion on. You could get a Series S for £99 when trading in an old Xbox one /S, ended up trading in some old games and controllers as well and ended up paying £29 brilliant value

[warrenstu]

I have the PS5 digital the Xbox series X & S & i spend most time on the Series S, in my opinion its a great looking machine & suitable for most prospective buyers as most folk don't have the monitor\Tv to show the benefit of the more expensive more powerfull machines. In essence the Series S is fantastic value for money & a total game changing console.. I totally believe the S is best value for money love it. Xbox series S.

[bheypuor]

I got the series s on marketplace for $200 CDN, set it up with cheap lg 24” 144hz 1080p monitor with 1ms response time and it works well with warzone. You can tell the graphics aren’t as good as the series x but it is good enough for portable use for when I’m travelling.

[maximevezina]

My only concern with the series S is in the long run, will it be still viable with this hardware and future next gen games 🤷🏻

[orionprime]

This console is perfect for the most of us imo...Is "cheap" and offer next gen performance with 120 fps in some games. Besides that, you can play at 60 fps almost every game and, trust me, i upgraded from the OG Xbox one to this and is like having a rocket compared to what I had. Plus, my favourite game is at 110/120 fps (is not fortnite, apex, warzone) so for me is just the best choice. Regarding the video quality, I have a 4k TV and i love It. I mostly play on 1440p 120hz because I need fps in my game but I tried the 4k and is really good😁
