Bro good video Bruda I've been an Xbox guy with all my life. Starting from the original Xbox than the Xbox 360. Now the Xbox One X and now the Xbox Series X the final masterpiece. YA its pricey but well worth it like alot of my old game and would Love to see them under a new platform.
I’m one of the average gamers and I only play sports games and maybe a car game here and there like Forza 5 . I play everyday but I’m not good enough to beat anyone in sports games even though I know the sport better than most people I’d play I still get beaten by the 2nd quarter.

Halo is great and play extremely well on the Series S. I just bought the series S carbon and the master chief collection and halo infinite run really well on it.
Thank you very much for your presentation! 💕 I've been considering which console to buy for my house since my Grandson has Xbox S at home. I think you've convinced me to go with Xbox X, then I can purchase an Expansion card to allow him to plug it into either console to play his 'digital' games + we can still play the 'disc' games we have from Xbox 360 & Xbox 1. THANKS ❣️❣️❣️
I'm planning to buy Xbox Series S coz of Game Pass. It made gaming really affordable. I was planning to go for pc where piracy is possible but I thought that's kinda illegal and not fair so I have decided to buy Series S.
There's a game pass on pc as well. It's 9.99$ a month (so cheaper than on xbox since you can play online for free) and it has the same exact games. Go for a PC and get a controller as well, I promise you won't regret it. There's lots of games you're missing out on (like steam/epic games) and you can also mod your games. If your budget is really tight then series s isn't a bad choice, but for a bit more you can build a really great gaming pc with a RX 6600 that's just as performant
Had my series s since it launched, been brilliant for what I’ve wanted it for, however I’ve literally just bought the series x as an upgrade so we will see how that goes and if there’s much difference once it arrives. I did consider the PS5 but I just can’t bring myself to get one as I’ve been Xbox since the very first console and I haven’t looked back!
My issue is how vague Microsoft has been about the S. Sometimes I'll see something about how the S is gonna disappear, then later Microsoft makes a 1TB version of it. Why would they do that if they were gonna ditch it? Then the opinions of absolute nerds who make everything about the numbers, hard to tell what to do here. I want new gen, but I don't want a bunch of absolute nerds spewing out nunbers and parts at me. I'll just buy the S and tell everyone to suck it lol
If you care about absolute performance and resolution amd prefer physical media then get the seris x. If you just care about playing games not worrying about resolution and performance then get the series s. If you travel then get both. You can use the X as your home console and use the S as your travel console. Either way up to you
thanx for this review, Naseem. i have the series s but ive started wondering am i really missing out on the 4k. also, i have alot of call of duty titles on disc i cant play, now. also a HUGE disappointment is i since then purchased a second copy, (digital,) of my 3 favorite titles (black ops 1, 2, & 3) and on my series s theyre so grainy/blurry theyre basically unplayable. if you have any digital versions of black ops 1, 2, 3, would you mind reviewing one of them on each console to see if there is a difference in clarity. like, i dont remember these games being so blurry back in the day. is it because im on the series s? also i use a 1080p monitor. i do have a "4k" monitor but its 55' and im told i get motion blur because its too big a screen for gaming so i still use the smaller 43' samsung. i stream call of duty (non toxic) likw 10 hrs every day i get bored with the same maps so you can see why im upset i wasted my money trying to stream retro cod. i really hope you have time to review playing backwards compatible titles on each console. if you do it might make a good video because i havent seen anyone do it. im going to subscribe either way with noti's on. if you made it this far, thanks for taking the time.
so im selling my ps4 to get a xbox s or x for budget issue im haven't 4k monitor have tv but my personal room and my monitor is 1440p also storage and my main 5 games must be on discs.. so what's the option here ... addition to this whats the different price range between this two devices?
Thanks for the review! All I need is an optical drive, huge storage space and a dope controller. The series x checks 2 of those boxes so im going to pick that one up. Lol. I'm sticking with my elite controller for sure though.
probably getting the series s. i'm a laptop gamer and i wanted to upgrade my gaming experience so i'm going to build a gaming set up, revamp my room, get a pc and monitor, then an xbox and a tv hopefully in the next year
In my opinion invest into the future. The money saved in XBox S now, may be more expensive than spending some more in XBox X in zwo or 3 Years from now.
Treated my myself to a Series S carbon black edition a few weeks ago after using a One S for many years. I don’t really need an X but I was hoping I didn’t make a mistake.. tbh I’m blown away by the series S! Wasn’t expecting the graphics to be any better but they are and as for the load times… wow I’m happy I got it!
I say go for the X. more storage, better performance. and you can find it second hand for the price of a new series S including taxes. if you are on a budget, wait an extra month or 2 to save money for it, its worth it in the long run. it's 2024 everyone deserves to experience at least 1440p 120hz gameplay. don't sell yourself short.
and i may buy 2-3 games for lifetime and also considering a game pass. So instead of going for Xbox X or PS5 i can get all those with xbox s but my question is am i going to miss anything if im opting S instead of X and Ps5 ?. Games that i like to play are World war z, Tekken 8, mortal combat, GTA 5, Batman Arkham Knight, spiderman etc
You know how dumb you have to be as a consumer to defend a console because eventually their will be games. Bruh, this is your hard earned money. Why would you purposely by a console that you yourself admits currently has nothing worth while for the future hope that Microsoft studio accusations will pay off. This is behind stupid. Would you pay for a streaming service for a year because they promised better content next year. This is just sad man. Best combo so far is a ps5 and a PC Xbox has done nothing to make their console stand out and worth buying. Of they did Sony fans wouldn't be sorry they would just by an Xbox.
Honestly after owning both I recommend the Series X. The X is on sale for 350$ rn which is 50$ more than the Series S. And for 50$ more, your getting better load times, better visuals and over all better performance. Also it comes with more storage. That 500gb series S was not it. I downloaded 3 games and filled my storage as it only has 300gb out of the box. Compared to the 800gb out of the box for the series X
So if I only have 1080p TVs and monitors, is that reason enough to go for the S? What about framerate and graphics quality besides resolution? As for storage, the leaked new version of the S should have 1TB so that should be better...
I'm on the same boat as you. Only have a 1080p 24" monitor and a 1080p 40" TV. I barely use my TV so not willing to invest in a better one. In this situation I think the Series X is just overkill, especially if you buy games digitally anyway. The new Series S Carbon Black (1TB) seems like a good option. It also takes up less space so it looks better on the shelf and it's easier to take it with you in a backpack. Plus the fact that it's cheaper. There's plenty of videos that show side-by-side comparisons and it gives a better idea than looking at numbers and charts. To me, the output looks extremely close (on a 1080p screen) even if there'd be less raytracing effects.
@@VladTheRad Internet also keeps getting faster . A 150gb game downloads quick on a 500-800 mbps connection. In my case I only play single player offline games , they are not 150gb large .
@@Chertograad It's just not about resolution . Larian announced it will not have multiplayer for BDG3 for Xbox-S but only for Xbox-X. I play more Ps4 games on my ps5 because so many have the free 1440p/60fps patch and 4k/60 fps enhancement. Even on a 1080p TV 1080p/60fps is worth the move up from the S.
Costco is running a deal right now for Xbox series X with an extra controller for $449. I'm mainly just buying for the new college football game but I figure with that good of a deal to pass up?
Best way to answer is by asking simple questions. Do you enjoy your multimedia? Do you have 4K/bluray DVDs you enjoy watching? Do you have a 4K tv with a 2.1 HDMI port? Will you have enough memory from the jump for the games that you’re going to play constantly? I have the Series X. Power, memory, specs and I get to play my old disc. Crazy part is I used about 98% of my storage for the games I play. The S wouldn’t be able to keep half of the games that I go back and forward through.
One thing also to consider is the size of your TV, if you have a 4k TV that's 50 inch or less and you're sitting 5 feet away then you probably won't even notice 4K vs 1440P so Xbox Series S would be fine.
Honestly, Ive had the Xbox Series S for 3 years and I have to say that its well worth the price for 300 bucks! Especially now owning a MSI 1440p resolution gaming monitor with a great IPS Rapid panel, not sure why some people " Oh you don't own the games when you buy them digital" how would you not own games if you BOUGHT the game?? That wouldn't make any sense so the Series S is just an insane small machine with great power and technology it has built in. Games will always play amazing on the Series S, people just get way too negative or over hype 4k content which is why I think 1440p content is not also amazing but very underrated. Xbox Series S for the win for great power and portability!
Well obviously Xbox series X is better but the Xbox series s is cheap if you don't want to pay a bunch of money and it's 1440p graphics and it can get 80 to 100 fps on call of duty warzone and on some other games or even if you're a ps5 user just looking to get into Xbox easy choice to get an Xbox series s and buy game pass but i bought an Xbox series X because it's a better choice in my opinion but it's more expensive I'd recommend the Xbox series s black edition for the 1tb memory
Hello, This video is perfect for I believe everyone who struggles deciding which Xbox Series to go for. Unbiased, no stupid jokes (sarcasm and whatnot), to the point, pros and cons of both consoles. If I was to choose one of them, I'd definitely go for Series X. My personal reasons: disc drive (love physical copies, coz you can sell them after you complete the game, plus the feeling itself), more powerful (I love high performance), bigger and fancier. Even on a non-4K TV I'd still prefer to play on the beast. Thank you, on behalf of everyone.
Just bought the Series S 1 TB console and I can't be more excited for it to arrive. It's enough for me as a casual gamer to serve as a starting point plus my TV cannot even use the full potential of the Series X had I decided to buy that one. The X is powerful, yes, but if you don't have monitors/TVs that can extract its full power and performance, better to stick with the S.
I have a feeling that at some point Microsoft will drop parity requirements between the two systems in order to increase the life span of the series X. When the X Box 360 launched, developers couldn’t require a hard drive install for games which ended up hurting their competition with Sony who had a lot more disc space to work with. When Microsoft released the 250 gig model and started allowing developers to require an install, games were able to be produced that went beyond what the system was originally capable of. You see this with games like Battlefield 3 and Grand Theft Auto 5.
I'm not a console player, I used to have a 360, Skate 3 was my fave game on it, apart from a couple of assassins creeds, the banjo kazooie the console came with and minecraft, every other game I had was a pirated disc, I never connected the console to wifi, I never played any multiplayers on it. I've been thinking of getting a new series xbox for 3 reasons, playing skate 3, getting a new-gen controller over my cabled 360 controller, and maybe checking out some gamepass titles. Now since I'm guessing pirated discs probs won't work with he new disc reader on the SeriesX, and since my copy of Skate 3 was pirated, and since I'll be prominently connecting the console to my computer monitor over a full flatscreen.. maybe getting the SeriesS is a wiser choice? I'm not sure...
I've grown up with playstation and nintendo for the most part, but I'm actually going to get the series s for Christmas, and thats what is enough for me, I'm going to drop my jaw when i first enter the world of the next gen, I don't care if it's less powerful than the series x or the ps5, it's fairly cheap and totally worth the money, especially with the game pass!
Can't decide which one all I play is C.O.D and Madden I travel for work so smaller size points me toward S but I'm 38 n never not had a non disc consol
buy the series s if you dont need disc drive. i have series s only for Cod MW3 and it runs constant 100fps on 2k 32inch monitor. which i think is amazing for its size
Xbox series x, 120 fps option on series X is huge in fps games, you need a 120+ hz tv or monitor obviously to run it and they are a little pricey but its definitely worth it to get that 120 frames. I suggest buying a 144hz 1ms gaming monitor if you plan on going the fps route. (you get more fps for less money buying monitors, 120hz TVs are really expensive i think especially if you want a large tv) It will lower your games resolution though so if you aren't much of a competitive multiplayer fps player then series x might not be the play. the disk tray is the 2nd biggest bonus imo. The ability to play blu rays, DVDs, and buy physical copies of games instead of digital. Again you might not care about that too much if you don't care to have a physical copy and would rather have a digital copy. Physical games also do not save any memory space, so that's another reason to just buy digital. I have heard of physical games running at a higher fps than digitally instead copies, im not 100% sure if that's true or not though.
Both are good next gen system are really good back then I thought last gen was the same but after watching some of these videos I see why everybody purchased next gen.
Im getting a 6 month old X from a friend with only 20 hours of play on it for the price of an S. System and an extra controller for $375. I think thats an amazing deal and im happy to be getting it.
PC is my main, wanted a console for family stuff and man its great. S all the way. I did have to het that storage expansion tho so heads up that. It says 500GB but its actually only like 350GB when you got it all set up.
I got a series s as a second console. It’s small compact plays all the Xbox games connects to gamepass and was cheap. I got the console brand new for £99 that’s crazy. Next gen system last gen price. Features like quick resume are the best if you want a quick game without all the loading screens. Whisper quiet to run and uses around half the electricity of similar systems such as ps5 or series x so it’s cost savings continue after purchase.
I bought Sefies S new one for 200€ and 2 TB extra storage 100€. SO, for 300€ I got new gen console for more than double storage than Series X has. Definietly good deal. I love white colour more and its so light and tiny so I can easily take it to the friends house. I have my Xbox One S still like a new, keeping it for owned xbox360 and One physical games but my digital library is over all bigger than my disc collection. For new gen consoles I would not buy physical games anymore anyhow because code in the disc is not same as game in the disc "stick the game in and play" . U need to go through same downloading process and the game takes same storage room from your hard drive than if u buy the code without disc and download it. so disc is pretty useless nowdays.
@@levi5468 Xbox store has often even up to 70% discounts. Then they offer sometimes "special" discounts up to 90%. And I buy my codes from 3rd party internet sites for cheap too. I never buy full priced games, not even close.
For anyone concerned with the storage space of the series S just get the series X. The only benefit to the series S is it's compact size and low weight which is nice for traveling
Which Console would you pick and why?

@@Sryloth nice i got switch, ps4 and for future an xbox s looks good when im adult or older rn im just 13
If i get an family i aint gonna game duh
Thank you very much for your presentation! 💕
I've been considering which console to buy for my house since my Grandson has Xbox S at home.
I think you've convinced me to go with Xbox X, then I can purchase an Expansion card to allow him to plug it into either console to play his 'digital' games + we can still play the 'disc' games we have from Xbox 360 & Xbox 1.
THANKS ❣️❣️❣️
You a fine ass g-ma!!
you sound like an awesome grandma

I'm planning to buy Xbox Series S coz of Game Pass. It made gaming really affordable. I was planning to go for pc where piracy is possible but I thought that's kinda illegal and not fair so I have decided to buy Series S.
There's a game pass on pc as well. It's 9.99$ a month (so cheaper than on xbox since you can play online for free) and it has the same exact games. Go for a PC and get a controller as well, I promise you won't regret it. There's lots of games you're missing out on (like steam/epic games) and you can also mod your games. If your budget is really tight then series s isn't a bad choice, but for a bit more you can build a really great gaming pc with a RX 6600 that's just as performant
Also the pc with same cost as series s will not give performance as series s
6:05 less many for way more games you wont play and the games you want to buy arent on gamepass..
Great video man, much appreciated.
Dude. Advice. Dont use a pixel art game to show case the difference in graphical fidelity.
It’s easier to see the definition in pixel games.
Had my series s since it launched, been brilliant for what I’ve wanted it for, however I’ve literally just bought the series x as an upgrade so we will see how that goes and if there’s much difference once it arrives. I did consider the PS5 but I just can’t bring myself to get one as I’ve been Xbox since the very first console and I haven’t looked back!
Update?
Update?
Update pls
Update? @bigrickyt1984
Thanks bro great video and helped me make uo my mind. I'm going with the S
Very great video on the comparisons. Great content.
My issue is how vague Microsoft has been about the S. Sometimes I'll see something about how the S is gonna disappear, then later Microsoft makes a 1TB version of it. Why would they do that if they were gonna ditch it? Then the opinions of absolute nerds who make everything about the numbers, hard to tell what to do here. I want new gen, but I don't want a bunch of absolute nerds spewing out nunbers and parts at me. I'll just buy the S and tell everyone to suck it lol
They dont need to ditch it. It can run every game the X can run
It does the same thing, lmao idk why they made the two look so different though
If you care about absolute performance and resolution amd prefer physical media then get the seris x. If you just care about playing games not worrying about resolution and performance then get the series s. If you travel then get both. You can use the X as your home console and use the S as your travel console. Either way up to you
Heads up! Just saw series x going for $350 so the price differential is closer than ever
Just saw that ! Should i trade in my series s for it ?
@@gavinb8805yessir
thanx for this review, Naseem. i have the series s but ive started wondering am i really missing out on the 4k. also, i have alot of call of duty titles on disc i cant play, now. also a HUGE disappointment is i since then purchased a second copy, (digital,) of my 3 favorite titles (black ops 1, 2, & 3) and on my series s theyre so grainy/blurry theyre basically unplayable. if you have any digital versions of black ops 1, 2, 3, would you mind reviewing one of them on each console to see if there is a difference in clarity. like, i dont remember these games being so blurry back in the day. is it because im on the series s? also i use a 1080p monitor. i do have a "4k" monitor but its 55' and im told i get motion blur because its too big a screen for gaming so i still use the smaller 43' samsung.
i stream call of duty (non toxic) likw 10 hrs every day i get bored with the same maps so you can see why im upset i wasted my money trying to stream retro cod. i really hope you have time to review playing backwards compatible titles on each console. if you do it might make a good video because i havent seen anyone do it. im going to subscribe either way with noti's on.
if you made it this far, thanks for taking the time.
so im selling my ps4 to get a xbox s or x for budget issue im haven't 4k monitor have tv but my personal room and my monitor is 1440p also storage and my main 5 games must be on discs.. so what's the option here ... addition to this whats the different price range between this two devices?
As someone with a ps5 I really don't see the point in spending another $500 on a console so the Series S is the way to go in this case
I’m thinking the same thing, I love my ps5, but I wanna get a Xbox to play palworld
Palworld is not worth the change ! It's fun but it leaves a lot to be desired
Do the consoles got extra ports besides the one in the front for things like external storage drives and KnM?
Perfect video my guy❤
Best review yet bro 🤛🏾Been a lifer and the bc is reason enough to stay here. Thinking X for disc drive thx 👍🏾
3:26 what’s that background called and how can I get it?
I haven't been on xbox ina minute but I'm fairly sure it's from the game Tokyo ghost or ghost Tokyo can't remember
Ghostwire: Tokyo
Thanks for the review! All I need is an optical drive, huge storage space and a dope controller. The series x checks 2 of those boxes so im going to pick that one up. Lol. I'm sticking with my elite controller for sure though.
probably getting the series s. i'm a laptop gamer and i wanted to upgrade my gaming experience so i'm going to build a gaming set up, revamp my room, get a pc and monitor, then an xbox and a tv hopefully in the next year
Is there any value in getting either if I already have a PS5 and a Steamdeck?
The s for exclusives I guess 🤷🏽♂️
In my opinion invest into the future.
The money saved in XBox S now, may be more expensive than spending some more in XBox X in zwo or 3 Years from now.
What game is that? 3:25 mark
Treated my myself to a Series S carbon black edition a few weeks ago after using a One S for many years. I don’t really need an X but I was hoping I didn’t make a mistake.. tbh I’m blown away by the series S! Wasn’t expecting the graphics to be any better but they are and as for the load times… wow I’m happy I got it!
Great review sir!
I went with the Xbox X 1 terabyte...I will let everyone know how it performed over the Christmas holidays... cheers to you!!!
how’s it performwd
Bro really dropped the promise like no one would notice
@@thatotherdan9984 boring
How did it go man???
@@shanepatrick641 right? Had time to reply a dumbasses reply but not to add anything substantial to it I guess.
I say go for the X. more storage, better performance. and you can find it second hand for the price of a new series S including taxes. if you are on a budget, wait an extra month or 2 to save money for it, its worth it in the long run. it's 2024 everyone deserves to experience at least 1440p 120hz gameplay. don't sell yourself short.
and i may buy 2-3 games for lifetime and also considering a game pass. So instead of going for Xbox X or PS5 i can get all those with xbox s but my question is am i going to miss anything if im opting S instead of X and Ps5 ?. Games that i like to play are World war z, Tekken 8, mortal combat, GTA 5, Batman Arkham Knight, spiderman etc
you shouldn’t miss much except for 4k and slightly smoother gameplay. you’d also be gaining value for portability
What are significant advantages of x over s besides graphics and storage?
Disc drive so you can buy used games and save money, 4k capabilities, and more future proof.
Everyone hating on Xbox over PlayStation y’all won’t have games to play in a year enjoy it while you can 😂
I’m sorry but Xbox really didn’t getting anything good, everything announced is kinda ass. I’m a huge Xbox fan over ps5 but I’m just being real
@user-kj7ls9os7f shut up don't u drive a shittyy Toyota corolla
Wtf are you talking about, clown?
You know how dumb you have to be as a consumer to defend a console because eventually their will be games. Bruh, this is your hard earned money. Why would you purposely by a console that you yourself admits currently has nothing worth while for the future hope that Microsoft studio accusations will pay off. This is behind stupid. Would you pay for a streaming service for a year because they promised better content next year. This is just sad man. Best combo so far is a ps5 and a PC Xbox has done nothing to make their console stand out and worth buying. Of they did Sony fans wouldn't be sorry they would just by an Xbox.
@@WilliamRivera-y3xcod deal 😂😂
Honestly after owning both I recommend the Series X. The X is on sale for 350$ rn which is 50$ more than the Series S. And for 50$ more, your getting better load times, better visuals and over all better performance. Also it comes with more storage. That 500gb series S was not it. I downloaded 3 games and filled my storage as it only has 300gb out of the box. Compared to the 800gb out of the box for the series X
On sale where
Thanks this helped my decision
@@suprxmefire9497 glad to help bro. It offers similar performance to the PS5 while also being easily uptainable for 200+ less than the PS5.
@@Turbonine9 I got mine on Walmarts website for 350
So if I only have 1080p TVs and monitors, is that reason enough to go for the S? What about framerate and graphics quality besides resolution?
As for storage, the leaked new version of the S should have 1TB so that should be better...
Does storage matter?
On my Ps5 I just load 6 game and delete /reinstall after that .
Never ran into a game THAT TAKES LONGER THAN 15 MIN TO REINSTAL .
@@Crashed131963 I don't know but apparently there are already nowadays games that are 150+ GB and that's only going to increase over time, so...
I'm on the same boat as you. Only have a 1080p 24" monitor and a 1080p 40" TV. I barely use my TV so not willing to invest in a better one.
In this situation I think the Series X is just overkill, especially if you buy games digitally anyway.
The new Series S Carbon Black (1TB) seems like a good option. It also takes up less space so it looks better on the shelf and it's easier to take it with you in a backpack. Plus the fact that it's cheaper.
There's plenty of videos that show side-by-side comparisons and it gives a better idea than looking at numbers and charts. To me, the output looks extremely close (on a 1080p screen) even if there'd be less raytracing effects.
@@VladTheRad Internet also keeps getting faster . A 150gb game downloads quick on a 500-800 mbps connection.
In my case I only play single player offline games , they are not 150gb large .
@@Chertograad It's just not about resolution . Larian announced it will not have multiplayer for BDG3 for Xbox-S but only for Xbox-X.
I play more Ps4 games on my ps5 because so many have the free 1440p/60fps patch and 4k/60 fps enhancement.
Even on a 1080p TV 1080p/60fps is worth the move up from the S.
Nice review and comparison
is it worth getting an xbox series x if my tv can only produce 1080p at 60hz?
The graphics will look good normaly but youl have to upgrade for an true experience
What game was that at 3:20 - 3:25 ?
Hi Fi Rush
Does anybody know what that thing is that shows the football teams on his desk? And where I can get it!
Costco is running a deal right now for Xbox series X with an extra controller for $449. I'm mainly just buying for the new college football game but I figure with that good of a deal to pass up?
Best way to answer is by asking simple questions.
Do you enjoy your multimedia? Do you have 4K/bluray DVDs you enjoy watching? Do you have a 4K tv with a 2.1 HDMI port? Will you have enough memory from the jump for the games that you’re going to play constantly? I have the Series X. Power, memory, specs and I get to play my old disc. Crazy part is I used about 98% of my storage for the games I play. The S wouldn’t be able to keep half of the games that I go back and forward through.
One thing also to consider is the size of your TV, if you have a 4k TV that's 50 inch or less and you're sitting 5 feet away then you probably won't even notice 4K vs 1440P so Xbox Series S would be fine.
Honestly, Ive had the Xbox Series S for 3 years and I have to say that its well worth the price for 300 bucks! Especially now owning a MSI 1440p resolution gaming monitor with a great IPS Rapid panel, not sure why some people " Oh you don't own the games when you buy them digital" how would you not own games if you BOUGHT the game?? That wouldn't make any sense so the Series S is just an insane small machine with great power and technology it has built in. Games will always play amazing on the Series S, people just get way too negative or over hype 4k content which is why I think 1440p content is not also amazing but very underrated. Xbox Series S for the win for great power and portability!
You buy the license to use the game you never own it ...;)
@@Turbonine9 um ok?
Thank you. Nice vid!
Thanks for the knowledge good sir.
Which one will support gta vi?
Both xbox series/x/s/ps5
Im gwtting the series s tommorow i dont even remember the last time i bought a disc game i just download off gamepass
I want to get a Xbox just to play fight night champion.so I should definitely go with the S?
Well obviously Xbox series X is better but the Xbox series s is cheap if you don't want to pay a bunch of money and it's 1440p graphics and it can get 80 to 100 fps on call of duty warzone and on some other games or even if you're a ps5 user just looking to get into Xbox easy choice to get an Xbox series s and buy game pass but i bought an Xbox series X because it's a better choice in my opinion but it's more expensive I'd recommend the Xbox series s black edition for the 1tb memory
Hello,
This video is perfect for I believe everyone who struggles deciding which Xbox Series to go for.
Unbiased, no stupid jokes (sarcasm and whatnot), to the point, pros and cons of both consoles.
If I was to choose one of them, I'd definitely go for Series X.
My personal reasons: disc drive (love physical copies, coz you can sell them after you complete the game, plus the feeling itself), more powerful (I love high performance), bigger and fancier.
Even on a non-4K TV I'd still prefer to play on the beast.
Thank you, on behalf of everyone.
Just bought the Series S 1 TB console and I can't be more excited for it to arrive. It's enough for me as a casual gamer to serve as a starting point plus my TV cannot even use the full potential of the Series X had I decided to buy that one. The X is powerful, yes, but if you don't have monitors/TVs that can extract its full power and performance, better to stick with the S.
Can anyone tell what’s the boxing game called ? 6.07 TIA
Really well explained 🙂
I have a 4k tv but at 60 hz what console l get ??
Does it make a difference on graphics if you don’t have a 4k tv?
Yes
Not much
maybe frames but that’s it
I have a feeling that at some point Microsoft will drop parity requirements between the two systems in order to increase the life span of the series X. When the X Box 360 launched, developers couldn’t require a hard drive install for games which ended up hurting their competition with Sony who had a lot more disc space to work with. When Microsoft released the 250 gig model and started allowing developers to require an install, games were able to be produced that went beyond what the system was originally capable of. You see this with games like Battlefield 3 and Grand Theft Auto 5.
I have an Xbox series x but want to pull the trigger on the ps5 that’s on my kart
do it. i have ps5 and i just got the series s to literally play halo xd
Can you install apps on the Xbox like on the PS5?
Of course!
Which one should I get if I play in monitor?
Séries S
series x if it’s 4k
I'm not a console player, I used to have a 360, Skate 3 was my fave game on it, apart from a couple of assassins creeds, the banjo kazooie the console came with and minecraft, every other game I had was a pirated disc, I never connected the console to wifi, I never played any multiplayers on it.
I've been thinking of getting a new series xbox for 3 reasons, playing skate 3, getting a new-gen controller over my cabled 360 controller, and maybe checking out some gamepass titles.
Now since I'm guessing pirated discs probs won't work with he new disc reader on the SeriesX, and since my copy of Skate 3 was pirated, and since I'll be prominently connecting the console to my computer monitor over a full flatscreen.. maybe getting the SeriesS is a wiser choice? I'm not sure...
Someone please help, how do I get the always changing background❗️ mine started with my old Xbox background
settings, personalistion
4K is a gimmick.
Average person sits 6 feet away from their tv. You will not notice the difference from 1080p to 4k at that distance.
I've grown up with playstation and nintendo for the most part, but I'm actually going to get the series s for Christmas, and thats what is enough for me, I'm going to drop my jaw when i first enter the world of the next gen, I don't care if it's less powerful than the series x or the ps5, it's fairly cheap and totally worth the money, especially with the game pass!
Can't decide which one all I play is C.O.D and Madden I travel for work so smaller size points me toward S but I'm 38 n never not had a non disc consol
buy the series s if you dont need disc drive. i have series s only for Cod MW3 and it runs constant 100fps on 2k 32inch monitor. which i think is amazing for its size
Xbox series x, 120 fps option on series X is huge in fps games, you need a 120+ hz tv or monitor obviously to run it and they are a little pricey but its definitely worth it to get that 120 frames. I suggest buying a 144hz 1ms gaming monitor if you plan on going the fps route. (you get more fps for less money buying monitors, 120hz TVs are really expensive i think especially if you want a large tv) It will lower your games resolution though so if you aren't much of a competitive multiplayer fps player then series x might not be the play. the disk tray is the 2nd biggest bonus imo. The ability to play blu rays, DVDs, and buy physical copies of games instead of digital. Again you might not care about that too much if you don't care to have a physical copy and would rather have a digital copy. Physical games also do not save any memory space, so that's another reason to just buy digital. I have heard of physical games running at a higher fps than digitally instead copies, im not 100% sure if that's true or not though.
Quick Resume is the best feature to sell the console and game pass with. I love it!
Is series s next gen like the series x?
Yes
yes, it’s just smaller with slightly worse graphics
Good info. New to games after a 30 year break. I’m going with the S to play world of warships.
Your should try naval mode in Warthunder if you like more "realistic" gameplay it's also free to play
Do they both get 120 frames?
Series S can target 120fps but usually fall somewhere just below. Great little machine tho
@@mightydazkenAlso depends on your game and wifi connection.
Both are good next gen system are really good back then I thought last gen was the same but after watching some of these videos I see why everybody purchased next gen.
Im getting a 6 month old X from a friend with only 20 hours of play on it for the price of an S. System and an extra controller for $375. I think thats an amazing deal and im happy to be getting it.
You got ripped off
@@RambosAdventures considering it was $150 under retail. Im happy. But thanks.
PC is my main, wanted a console for family stuff and man its great. S all the way. I did have to het that storage expansion tho so heads up that. It says 500GB but its actually only like 350GB when you got it all set up.
Good video bro
The only downside for the series s is 512gb and the expansion card is too expensive
Theres the carbon black version with 1tb!
The ssd card is like $130…a series s is $200-$250 both are still cheaper than an X
if i play on a 144hz monitor what xbox should i buy ?
Doesn't matter you would get 120 fps on both
I have a xbox one but i want to buy a xbox series s. Can i play my xbox one games on the s ?
Series s has no disc drive, so you would need the series x to play your Xbox one games.
@Luke-xe4dh thanks
I got a series s as a second console. It’s small compact plays all the Xbox games connects to gamepass and was cheap. I got the console brand new for £99 that’s crazy. Next gen system last gen price. Features like quick resume are the best if you want a quick game without all the loading screens. Whisper quiet to run and uses around half the electricity of similar systems such as ps5 or series x so it’s cost savings continue after purchase.
Where did you buy it from?
I bought Sefies S new one for 200€ and 2 TB extra storage 100€. SO, for 300€ I got new gen console for more than double storage than Series X has. Definietly good deal. I love white colour more and its so light and tiny so I can easily take it to the friends house.
I have my Xbox One S still like a new, keeping it for owned xbox360 and One physical games but my digital library is over all bigger than my disc collection.
For new gen consoles I would not buy physical games anymore anyhow because code in the disc is not same as game in the disc "stick the game in and play" . U need to go through same downloading process and the game takes same storage room from your hard drive than if u buy the code without disc and download it. so disc is pretty useless nowdays.
Disc's can be cheaper. But buying codes is definitely smarter than buying through microsoft store. (Unless theres some crazy discount).
@@levi5468 Xbox store has often even up to 70% discounts. Then they offer sometimes "special" discounts up to 90%. And I buy my codes from 3rd party internet sites for cheap too.
I never buy full priced games, not even close.
I thought the series S can upscale to 4k now ? And play 120 fps
The disk drive on the series x will pay for itself in the long run, which is why I prefer The series x.
is it worth it if i got the x for 350?
Idk why people worry about storage space when you can get the Xbox ssd card lmao same shit
For anyone concerned with the storage space of the series S just get the series X. The only benefit to the series S is it's compact size and low weight which is nice for traveling
What Xbox would I get if I all ready have a storage expansion?
Get the new series S carbon with 1tb of storage.
@@rm25088 but I don’t need the 1tb of storage I all ready got like 3tb of storage
or just get the ssd card for it lmfao
@@WilliamRivera-y3x Yeah either way, it will be cheaper than the X.
The difference in graphics in College Football 25 is insane between the two. It looks so much better than the S
