- Never thought this day would come, but Microsoft created a console package that was compelling enough to make me pre-order. It's here -- let's get the no-disc-having XBox Series S in this unboxing!
Good luck on your search for one!

Welcome to the good life
When the apple tv is $200 with a monthly fee, this at $300 with gamepass is a great set top box.
Yea
@Tucker Aries no bots
@owo グーチmoshi For a while it was available through store aswell, so you didn't need dev mode haha.
The Xbox Series S being warm when you had turned it off is because you chose “Instant On“ which just puts the Xbox into a sleep mode so you can get back into gaming quickly
That's so true. I forgot he picked that option. He's new to xbox anyway so he'll figure it out day by day.
The new Xbox support 4k 60hz an dis it come w a mico to can any one tell me
@@chrissanchez8615 mic?
With instant on, it updates games when you turn it off... once that’s complete it turns off
@@shotty5 not completely
Xbox Series S and PS5 (digital for me) is the perfect match for gaming.
That's my combo!
@Eric Mercado if you have them DL to the computer, then yes. Only need the internet to get the games (they are not streamed)
This is hard comparison cause xss is cheaper than ps5 digital but specs difference is huge, really we see after 2 years how xss works i dont believe that xss can put 1080p in next gen games, and game pass is not good for me cause one games can have 100h, and u must interact, but in movies netflix or spotify u can watch everywhere or listen and do another think and can watch many movies per month, and streaming in gaming is bad they never be that response and low input lag like u play on console or pc, so in gaming for me thats stuff is not good like netflix etc.
@@razor15593 gamepass isn't good to u? Good for u nobody cares. Everybody else loves gamepass
Nice review. You're gonna love Game Pass. It's like a buffet for games.
That's a cool way to put it hehe
I have half a mind to get series s but when I looked at game pass there's only like 1-2 games which I'm interested to play rest are indie or some shooter games.
@@maheshmurali2697 open your mind to different genres, because there are a lot of good games out there.
@@maheshmurali2697 which genres do u like?
@@almog3875 I have a decent gaming pc also but something is not compelling me to play those games 😆. I'll play shooter type games for 1-2 days and get bored.
I’ve never had a console before so I decided to order the series s, cant wait!
It has roblox if that's something your interested in
th-cam.com/channels/zZ7f7Hqt8aJhBQ7iEmaY5g.html
@Saquon Barkley Is The Man 26 no series s is just as good
Series S is not nearly as good. It's just a better value since it's cheaper yet offers decent hardware.
@@GamingWithFusion no same thing series x just has more gb and that
Nice video Joshua. Quick resume is mind blowing, even if you unplug it keeps last 4 games in memory. Underrated feature imo. You can play games off a USB 3.0 HDD but only cold store next gen games.
Can u play next gen 2k on it
@@Dboshake nope, series x/s games are not playable on external hd
This brings back that little kid on christmas morning feeling. I'm so happy
Yes I haven't been this excited for anything in years.
I’ve had an xbox since the beginning and when the dashboard was upgraded with the xbox 360 it just became fantastic. The backwards compatability is also a brilliant feature! Welcome to Xbox; I hope you enjoy it... yes you will 👍🏻
I like you because you actually don’t mind opening your mind to other options. A true gamer, like urself, just loves to play games. We don’t care abt that fanboy-wars silliness, we just love games no matter where you can play them. Great video. Instant sub. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
well said
@@waliish and for u to say that, u probably also just love games. Now u may have a platform u play on most, but I would bet u dont talk down toward the other plats. I’m just not sure what people get out of being so big on a company that don’t pay you to do so. Give me games, whoever you are, and if they are good, I’ll play them. End of story. Thanks for ur response my friend. Keep gaming.👍🏽
I’m a life long Sony fan currently playing mainly on PS5 but this week I picked up an Xbox Series S after always being interested in Microsoft Flight Sim but never played it. I would have bought the X but they are not available anywhere. I’m blown away by how a £250 console plays it. And as for GamePass, it’s well worth the cash I have so many games I now want to play and have the opportunity to play or just try. Also, how cute is this little console 😍
I think you are the first reviewer to actually show how small it is and spend some time talking about it so I thank you for that
Same her, I've been loyal to Playstation for 22 years. But since PS5 is nowhere to be found.. Tomorrow my Xbox series S is arriving. And I'm exited. Console love across the borders.
Yea I’m getting the S and this is my first Xbox as well I had a Nintendo switch since release
Same!!
You won’t be disappointed man I have the Series S and it’s fantastic and runs pretty darn fast
Just got the series x yesterday and am waiting for it to be delivered, I am also coming from switch so wish me luck
@@blacklightningbroh yes I hope it works great it and works for a long time
7:35 it actually aims for dynamic 4K p on Valhalla, that’s why it’s 30fps
I have to say, absolutely awesome reviewer. Always my go to review guy before I buy.
With all the things I've been seeing online I wasn't expecting it to be as good as it is... If you're thinking about buying it then definitely get it
I am finally getting the xbox s. This is my first xbox as well. I always get nintendo consoles. But they xbox all access is such a great deal I couldn't help myself.
Your review was very refreshing, josh. I like that you're new to xbox and don't come across as a know it all.
I'm a playstation guy myself (kind of). I own pretty much every console but, game pass is such a great service.
I am someone who only has Xboxes and has nothing against PlayStation(i play mostly Forza). I appreciate you having a open mind and trying out every way that you can game(Pc, Xbox, and PS). I think the console war is over and that people should just buy the console that allows them to do what they want. The main reason i only use Xbox is cuz i don't want to have to buy new games for 2 different consoles.
Welcome back to consoles. I always gamed on consoles most of my life, however I missed out on most of the PS4 and Xbox One generation. I built my very first gaming PC in early 2011, and I didn't play on console for almost 7 years. In 2017 I got a PS4 for the first time, and then I got an Xbox One in 2018. With that being said, I mainly play on console nowadays, and yes PC is superior in every way, although these new consoles are not that far behind these days. I also love the convenience of playing on conosle, I would much rather just lounge on my couch and play a good singleplayer game, but that's just my opinion.
yeah consoles are catching up to pc. They are in the realm and the prices are amazing for what you get
You can really tell he is new to xbox when he types it like "XBox"
This is my first XBOX as well! I’ve been using PS4 for over a year. Wanna experiment with XBOX now.
Be sure to expand your horizons with different genres you may have never played before! There are too many games on Gamepass not to take advantage of it
Same' An I'm Definitely Happy With my Xbox Series 💪 X it is a Beast' An Well Built"
thank you for adding "The" to Game Pass. From now on I too will call it The Game Pass. Nice review.
I'm on PlayStation all my life even psp but this review makes me want to get my first xbox
If you could get both- I would .. esp when God of war and Horizon zero dawn 2 drops.
Bruh, if have the means do it. I have all ways had both. Life is short, enjoy.
I have all and I love my Xbox, definitely a good pair with PS5 and Switch
Your comments were just what I needed I am I have never been a gamer but now I finally retired from work and I have extra time on my hands thank you for these suggestions and thank you for being around I did subscribe thanks again
Thanks for the video Joshua! Hope you enjoy the XBSS and PS5, you've mirrored my choices.
PS5 for my living room and XBSS on my 1080p 144Hz monitor next to my gaming PC! ^^
Sounds good! Enjoy it 😁
Yo I had the same plans lol
Does the HDMI cable support 144 htz or do I need a display port
@@LongLastingGate HDMI 2.0 should support 1440p at 120fps, if you want 4k 120fps then you would need a 2.1 HDMI
@@mmm.3839 yessir
This will be my XBOX as well. Looking forward to it. XBOX Series + PS5 = Life Level Up
You just earned yourself a new sub bro✌ nice video
After watching, I felt the same. I appreciate getting off that fanboy foolishness and giving props where props are due. PS5 is incredible but XBox is on par at least, and when Microsoft’s 23 studios start churning out games like butter, they both will have amazing exclusives which works perfectly for true gamers.
If I buy Cold War on the Microsoft store on the Xbox one, will I get to play it on my Xbox series s?
Yes
If you buy the cross gen bundle yes
I have been a PlayStation only player for majority of my life, but this Xbox series s console really has my attention. Only 300 dollars and I get a good gaming experience and with game pass. My ps5 will remain my main gaming console but I’m definitely buying this Xbox to play some Xbox exclusives and get into a different perspective of gaming
I'll get this one I need to finish my house 🏡
I personally think Gamepass is awesome. Games are so expensive these days typically 60-80 bucks now. If i can get a hundred games , etc for a few hundred a year I am good with that. It is a lot easier then buying 70 dollar game ; and trading it in for 12 bucks lol.
I’m a ps guy but I got to say that the I actually want the S it’s small and cute
Me too. You gotta love its size
@@Asian19981 eee i dont care, u buy plug in and they just stay for long time only think u touch is controller so i think woman like only the size and how look.
I never owned a console but since I already have Game Pass Ultimate on Android and Windows 10, Series S will be my first console
Enjoy 😊
You might want to move the series s speaker grill away from the tv. The tv is restricting some of the airflow, making the console warmer than it should, and it's also warming the tv in return
Actually just got the Series S picking it up next Friday! Also looking into the Digital Edition PS5 since I’m going Digital anyways! Found you just searching Series S Subbed!
Your video is what I needed. Just like you, I’m coming from PS team since PS1 to PS4.. Great review
Will you be getting the ps5 and Xbox or will you be fully switching to xbox
@@NorsiGaming615 no way im getting both haha, only xbox for me
@@alialshuwaikhat3749 lol nice. Welcome to the Xbox team! I highly recommend gamepass ultimate. I know almost everyone recommends it but it’s really worth it. Also can’t wait to see what those 23 studios are making.
@@NorsiGaming615 Thank you! Cant waitt 😍
Welcome to the Xbox family!!!!! Stick around for a while!
Luv my Xbox Series 💪 X it is a Beast'
anytips to make the ss install gae faster, i had to have my xbox run for around 27 hours in 2 days? it was a living hell
@@David-cg6wl lmao you’re doing something wrong
If somebody hasn't said it already don't put the vent to your Xbox series s facing your TV put it facing somewhere else so the heat doesn't rise along your television. Great video by the way.
PS5 Disk and Series S perfect for me
I got my series s. Me and my son love it (we're both pc gamers) with the gamepass.
All in all I think I'll be glad making the switch this time around. One thing that really surprised me about the PS5. Is there absolutely will be no 1440p native support lol.
I mean seriously that kind of defeats the purpose of even buying a PS5 does it not? it also concerns me if they aren't supporting 1440p.
Than they aren't supporting HDMI 2.1. That's going to come back to bite Sony in the ass. Because upscaling has never been a good experience in my view.
Your not going to be able to take much of an advantage of the new hardware without the higher refresh rates & resolution you're going to get on a new TV.
So far loving my Xbox as there some really cool things that I never thought I would like. Game Pass is excellent and the UI is a lot easier to use than the Sony.
Which xbox are u using?
Just got mine today and still have my my baby one X I will keep for the disc version and movies 💚💚💚
This xbox s/s is a win, good to have as a modern gamer.... just sit back a relax and game on, also get game pass
This is also my first xbox. I don't have a true 'next gen' game on it yet, but I am loving it so far.
I got my Xbox Series S off my girlfriends cousin brand new in the box for only 250.00 dollars which was a damn good deal so I made sure I didn’t pass that up. I also got my disc drive PS5 for free almost brand new in the box, probably like 2 weeks old from my own cousin since he didn’t want his anymore since he got the Xbox Series X so I think I made out pretty damn good this generation.
I love my series x and ps5 two amazing ass systems worth every penny 💯 great vid bro
How tf did u get both....😂
@@Mysohvaperuna man with the ps5 I walked in gamestop at the right time the day pre-orders opened for the series x I had to wait outside gamestop for 3 hrs
Slide your Series S behind your TV. The heat from the system vent can damage your TV light nodes over time. I had the same issue with a cable box a couple months back.
Would it be okay to have the series s laying down in front of the tv istead of under?
@@ultimategohan1551 Yeah that should be fine. Check under your TV to see if it has vents, if it does then don't place anything that dispels heat under it because the heat will rise into the TV and damage the nodes which lights the panels to get an image. I noticed some burn in a few months after getting my TV right where the cable box was.. turns out the heat from the cable box had damaged the strip in the TV.
@@FA7ALtheGOD Is your tv oled or lcd?
@@ultimategohan1551 oled
@@FA7ALtheGOD Would what you said also apply to lcd tvs?
Same it was my first xbox too my uncle gifted it to me when he visited us at our country
I had wanted to get the ps5 but my homies going with the series s cause it’s cheaper so I am too and this will be my first Xbox and so I’ve just been looking at reviews and unboxings and it’s looking pretty solid, I’ve already put it on my Christmas list and it’s really good for gamers on the cheaper side.
GREAT VIDEO! is your TV 4K? i really want the S but unsure of how it would go alongside a 4K TV
He mentioned it only being 1080p but looking to upgrade it. Series S is only meant for 1440p so I'm sure a 4k tv wouldn't have issues with it.
Thanks guys 🤙🏼
the series S is 1440P but you can upscale it with a 4k tv and it’s great
@@aidenolvera6042 amazing, thank you
This will also be my first Xbox. I'm still PlayStation fan, but I got to say Xbox beat Sony when it comes to subscription game services. Can't wait to get my hands on Xbox ultimate game pass with the series s.
Congrats! I have always been an Xbox fanboy, always wanted one, cant wait to get my FIRST Xbox console EVER at Christmas! I am getting the series s as well, cause its so portable, and i can put it in my back pack and take it to my friends house to play. I dont need native 4K, since i dont have a 4K TV, and the series x and ps5 are HUGE compared to the Series S, which can easily go in my living room without taking up space. Plus, i dont have any disks, and i am a digital guy. I hope you enjoy your series s!
nice review and welcome to the xbox ecosystem Joshua. great review. and you have just earned yourself a new subscriber
I’d take this over the PS5
Good for u
I gonna wait 3 years to see wich console has better exclusives
@@simonjohnson6763 p c
@@simonjohnson6763 good idea, that's why I'mma get the xbox, j think it will have better exclusives down the line. Right now Ps5 definitely has better exclusives, but I think that will change in 2-3 years
@@alcoholic402 you never know. But xbox have gamepass. For now xbox is a better deal than playstation. And the ps5 exclusives are avaliable on ps4. So the ps5 is worthless(for now). The best deal if you have enough money is buying a pc. Or if you don't have enough money go for the series s
The Xbox Series S is also my first Xbox :)
It needs to vent /the fan . The black circle pushes a lot of heat . it looks like it might be blocking the fan and won’t be a productive venting solution. You have to treat the Xbox like a newborn making sure it’s safe. Thanks for the video
try "quick resume" this feature lat you jump between games in like 7 seconds
Enjoy thst EA play and gamepass.... the sea gate storage is really worth it- I love it.
Very nice unbox and first impressions review.
The Series S, is simply, for people that still don't have a 4k (oled) tv.
When you buy a cheap 4K tv with hdr, you also buy this console, and as a next gen plus, your resolution is now 1440p, so this next gen console, delivers anything you expect from a next gen-upgrade. That is, and ONLY (!) you switch from a 1080p tv to a cheap 4k one.
There are probably many people in this situation, that now the time has come, to get rid of that old 1080p-screen.
Must be an amazing upgrade, higher resolution, ray tracing, SSD, RDNA2 architecture to look at...
This console, is NOT for people that already have a good 4K tv.
Cause... You might like the new graphical features, but after a while, you gonna wonder how that game should look if you where playing it on a Series X.
Cause you have the television for it.
You know the tv can do more, but the next gen console doesnt 'allow' it.
It's gonna eat you up from the inside out whilst time passes...
The Series S, does anything the Series X does, only, at a lower resolution.
It's like the Xbox One X has six terraflops, only to push pixels to get native 4K results.
Thats why the Series S has lesser terraflops than the X One X, cause it doesnt have to push the pixels to get a native 4K-resolution.
Thats why the Series X has 12 terraflops of computing power.
Apart that it has to do all what the PS5 has to do, it has to push the pixels.
That's why not al PS5 games are 4K, the developer has already to choose carefully which feature they are gonna push.
Lets hope the Series X delivers, and delivers.
Personally, i wouldnt mind the Series S, but i know myself, and i know that with this 4k Oled tv here, i´m gonna regret soon.
So ill wait a little bit longer, but im happy for those people with an old tv. For those people, Series S is amazing.
And dont forget: You can get to play the new Halo and Microsoft bought Bethesda!
Not ever again, are people going to refer to the Xbox-brand as the brand with 'no exclusives.'
It's an amazing deal, which amazes and hurts both parties at the same time no matter how you look at it.
For example: I might be happy Bethesda is 'mine,' or 'ours,' but at the same time, i feel sorry for those PS5 gamers that can´t get to play the next Elder Scrolls when it launches on Xbox.
Or when i enjoy that game, im not gonna think: "Eat that PS5 suckers!"
No, im going to think it´s a shame not more people can get to experience this awesome game...
But, it is an amazing deal i have to admit, cause Bethesda, was always a little bit 'Microsoft.'
Remember they released Elder Scrolls 3 on Xbox.
In doing so, binding me forever to the Xbox-brand.
So in my eyes, Bethesda always was a little bit Microsoft. They pair together.
An amazing deal, cause Phil Spencer and Tod Howard seems to aim at their core audience.
What is the True core audience of Xbox?
The True core audience of Xbox, are those that where in love with pc-graphics, but couldn´t find a console to show of those pc-graphics.
Born was Xbox...
Dont leave the xbox under ur tv it may get damaged coz the upper vent is that black circle and can coz a lot of problems
People underrate the XBOX just because its not as flashy as the PS but its actually incredible
I had the 360 back in 2006. This is my first Xbox since. Gotta see if I can get used to the controllers again and see how to go about playing online.
Game pass value is amazing.
I enjoyed this review, Thanks for your honest review.
I'm not an xbox fan boy but this particular video of yours is making me considering one, well for forza and halo so far.
Welcome to the Xbox family enjoy
How on earth can somebody that does a gadget related stuff for so long never had a console before, absolutely mind boggling
i think he said first xbox
Yes first Xbox. He said he’s always been team PlayStation
I might get my first xbox this Christmas... But I really don't know
@@geneticjen9312 20 consoles? Damn
I think the series s is a great deal compared to the x (NOT THE MEMOEY CARD) but I want to hang on to my one s for another year or 2
I upgraded from the one s to the series s and it feels so much better ngl. So if you ever plan to switch to series s, it's a great upgrade
getting in 12 days for my bday
12 march
First ever console with a 1080p @ 144hz monitor with a single controller dock that has a headset and a headset stand attached and an extra controller pushing for the forza one.
Game Pass is a feather in Xboxes cap, for a few quid a month there a ton of games, many of which are, amazingly, top titles.
Can you make some backwards compatibility enhancement videos w/ the Series S?
Great review! Always a fan of your videos.
This is the most beautiful console of this generation. better than series X or ps5
you’re doing something wrong if you choose this console just because it is „the most beautiful console“
It’s digital so it’ll be more expensive in the long run
@@dr-ok3sn lol i would never buy this, idk what you're talking about
@@Jerome-iwnl do u like it or not make up ur mind lol
@@guccipotato6888 Idk about you but I don't buy consoles just because they're beautiful or sleek, I buy consoles for the games. I'd buy furniture if I want something sleek in my living room, lol.
I have always been a PlayStation player. ( nothing against Xbox just started with ps2 as a kid ) and this is making me really think about getting a Xbox s for the game pass
Hey Joshua, once u get a great 4k TV u will be able to upscale to 4k, but, not native 4k, plus get a Ultra High Speed HDMI cable and u won't have to worry 1080p anymore.
you're my favorite tech youtuber
Nice detailed review 😀👍 keep the videos rolling 👍
i recommend turning off instant on because overtime it makes your Xbox slow
I think that XBox is better than PLAyStation but if you like PLAyStation over XBox then that’s your choice, I can’t decide if you like PLAyStation over XBox
Congrats on your first Xbox
Actually , it was easy to get an Xbox series x or s today launch date. As long as you walked in at gamestop opening hour. Youll get one
It probably got pretty warm because you had it sitting under your TV and were playing it while downloading/installing...just saying.
I just ordered mine and it gets here tomorrow
Just picking up the digital version of the PS4??? Oh, 😲😳!!
Don't bother with 120 Hz with your Series S as I don't think many games can support it on that console. Even the PS5, there might not be that many games going over 60 Hz either
Edited: I mean S not X sorryy
What do you mean even ps5 lol the ps5 is weaker then the series x
@@ryzen-vn8sd i mean the S not X apologies and already edited
@@kronoxz some games are already supporting 120 on the s dirt 5,gears 5 and soon fortnite
Definitely not the strongest console but still very capable for the price everyone is winning
@@ryzen-vn8sd yeah but cant imagine the enormous graphical downgrade for 120hz on the S. Dont wanna touch that with a tentpole
Did I just see… “Shadows of the Damned?” Yessssssssssss I haven’t played that game in forever!!! Great review here! Thinking of grabbing an X Box soon. I wanna wait to see if they release a halo infinite edition 1st… if not, I think I’m going to get this XBOX SERIES S!
Thanks for all you do!
Sending Good Vibes!
Be sure to play Halo Infinite on your channel!
2:57 doesnt seem very smart to position the fans underneath the tv like that. hope you arent using that orientation. 7:19 kinda expected, try vertical orientation beside your tv, it should get better
You can play game pass games on your phone now to
For those of you who can't find some EA games on gamepass, download the actual EA play app and it'll be there. Idk why it doesn't show up on gamepass
Instead of getting a better TV just for 4k you should get a monitor for 120fps I don't understand how people freak out about graphics and not about fps
got my series S yesterday, today its back in the box waiting to be resold. terrible console for the competitive player was way to used to playing high end PC gaming on my 5000$ PC gunna need to wait around for series X to be available. reason why is because i want to stream gaming from Xbox from my PC instead of buying a whole other PC and the S wasn't up to snuff.
When I get mine. It will be first xbox also. All the exclusives will be new to me. Even the old ones.
Thank you Joshua for making this video I am thankful and happy for you I'm trying to save money for the xbox series s cause I was looking for a console and it will be the first time I get a video game. Thank you hope you have a lot of fun playing video games and making TH-cam videos... but I am so happy and thankful for you and I'll sub and like for you cause you did great in this video and other videos too, good luck.
You sad that the Xbox Series S got warm. Just a tip, let the console breathe give it more room and the same thing applies for the ps5, these new generation of consoles are having PC hardware and you should give them some room for the cooling. But nice vid and I am going to sub on you’re channel. And one question, I have a PS4 and I want to try and Xbox and should I go with the series S or the series X ? I am playing on a monitor. And some tv’s that support 4K 120fps and HDMI 2.1 are to expensive.
I just brought my 1st xbox will be arriving Monday but I'm mostly playstion 5
It was probably pretty warm because you were blocking the fan on top with your tv.
I used to have an Xbox 360
Yes mine gets warm
