I bought it 4 months ago. I really like it, the last console I bought was a Nintendo Wii, DS and PS3 and since then I rarely play games because of work... and if I want to play, I mostly play on my laptop and phone. lol I got the S series for only 200$, buy GamePass Ultimate on the marketplace for 4-6$/month in my country. If you subscribe by card it's only 10$/month. For me, who is 43 now, Xbox+GPU with the addition of a keyboard/mouse for playing online games and old games as well as relatively new ones at that price is very cheap and valuable.
One important thing to mention about Quick Resume: it's great for single-player games/campaigns, but if you try to Quick Resume into a Multiplayer game, it glitches out and you often need to close the game and re-open it.
And that’s cause it needs to connect to the server, the server has disconnected the game when it is inactive for a time period, its not a problem with the series s , its a problem on the game server
I already have a PS5, but I want to run Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 (release Nov 2024), so I am thinking of buying XBOX Series S. ... Good video, bro. 👍
A week ago I bought my Xbox S with 3 months of game pass included at a great price - Compact, powerful, quiet and fits perfectly right next to my PS5 in the living room: GoldenEye 007, Perfect Dark + Zero, TimeSplitters 2 + Future Perfect, Halo MCC and Gears of War
It does the job i guess, especially if you still have an HD TV instead of a 4K but to me is completely useless because it basically an upper tier Game Pass machine and i don't agree that Game Pass is great. I don't like services like Game Pass. You will be paying every month and probably for the higher tiers so you can play games as they release and it will get more and more expensive as it goes(all this services do) and after5-6 years of constantly paying if you stop paying you are left with nothing and a useless box. If you invested that money buying games you will always have those games and you don't have to constantly keep paying or be left with nothing. Not only that but games coming and going is definitely not my thing. I don't just play games in a month a finish them and move on. I have a busy life. I might need 2 oe 3 months to finish a game. If it's a big game i might be playing it for half the year or more. I don't need the anxiety of "finish this game or else it won't be here in 10 days". No thank you. I prefer owning my game and playing at my own leisure.
I love series S PlayStation 5 slim digital and Nintendo switch lite and yes I’m cheap I’m a average Income in not rich or poor I work part time jobs minimum wage 😂
Personally, I have all the disks for the games that I want to play. And I am not getting rid of my Xbox one, since it still does the job. Overall good job on the video.
If you doubt the graphic potential of the series S , just launch for example Dead Space Remake. Upscale on that on a good tv and you realize that this little beast does the job really really good .
Especially if you have a large number of 360/Xbox One titles and even newer games that aren't real to life graphics. For the price what Series S offers is amazing.
I got a series S after i owned a ps5 and graphically it irritated me because it was a step below. Its like you want it to jus be a little clearer lol. But the size made moving it anywhere great. But if you want a cheap system and dont have the X or PS5 i say get it.
Thats exactly how i feel. I have a ps5 and have tried the s before but the 1080p graphics just don't do it for me. If it hit that 1440p for certain, id buy one. You hit the nail on the head though.....i just want it to be a little bit clearer and i use a 1440p monitor.
I have ps5 .. just thinking on buying it for a secondary device .. will observe any difference graphically ? Mostly considering it for gamepass & i have 1440p monitor
@@pawanmodupalli983 honestly, you will see a difference. There are other reviews out there also but going from a ps5 to a series s is pretty noticeable. Even on a 1440p monitor. If you dont care too much though, id say its worth it. It plays great and all the same games as the X does but it just lacks graphics.
I got one on the FB market place too but i got the 1 TB with the Disc drive. I just recently got it 3 months ago. was $150 with 3 games and 1 controller, I still have all my 360 games and my OG xbox games from years past. It was nice playing my Original disc's on the system, And with Gamepass. Just WOW.
It might not be as powerful as the serene X but honestly I’ve watched games played in the series S and was actually really surprised how great the graphics look
Great points! except#8 (Their exclusives are starting to roam). Point#1 is so good (you forgot to add cute). I may have to pick it up. Well, at least you picked up Sub+1.
I bought the wd C50 1tb expansion for 70$ used on facebook market place. So he is not lying Guys take advantage of these deals plenty of kids for new stuff for Christmas and do not use there consoles so keep your eyes peeled and haggle a little !! Cheers happy hunting
Well ive been using it for the past 6-7 months its my main game device but rather than the game performance im gonna talk about a major problem about the web browser lets say you got discord on one tab and microsoft office apps at the second one you are on a call or texting to your friends and after a short period of time except for the tab you are on the rest of them refreshed and shuts down to save performance meaning when you switch to the office programs the moment you switch to the office programs tab your discord call will be disconnected and you will be offline on discord to give a better example the browser doesn't support quick resume feature theres some other browsers on the microsoft store but only this one supports keyboard and mouse also all of them are chromium based and you cannot add any extensions on it so if you think about well i wanna play my games and do my work on the browser for example homework and stuff like that consider buying a different device theres also some other problem i tried editing a video on capcut and it keeps getting shut down and giving me a error saying microsoft edge browser is consuming soo much ram it shut down to save some
I still have My One s/One x . I also have a series s and x. All of them still work as they should with zero problems while My PS5 has needed to be repaired and is facing issues once again
im a ps5 and quest 3 owner, im considering a series s 1tb mainly coz i want to try/play forza 5 and microsoft flight sim 24 when it comes out, would it be worth it?
For reference: I streamed The Royals' game, downloaded a game, and had Hogwarts Legacy running (via Quick Resume for commercial breaks) simultaneously!
As much as i hate the series S due to the fact that except for the disc drive it renders the series X just a more expensive series S as all games have to be developed to run on series S and so can't use the series X's power to its full potential, despite this... most of these points are valid. Only thing i would say is the backwards compatibility thing... If you get this to play old xbox games you already have and now have to start re-buying all your old games AGAIN, well this then defeats the object of it being cheaper. As the cost difference between the series S and X is now null and void after you have to spend a few hundred £'s rebuying your games. So this then counteracts point 1. They only reason this would be good for backwards compatibility is if you are new to xbox and were previously playstation, and are buying these old games for the first time.
Wen people were saying Xbox is dead I'm like I don't care I'm still going game on Xbox I've had PS4 all Sony consoles played PS5 Xboxs are just fun an sick
Literally will but this simply for gta 6, until the pc version comes, then it's getting sold 😂. Think there will be a massive increase in sales around that time.

I think we hit "peak graphics" a while ago and now very few people actually care that you can get 18% better graphics for 200% the price
Forza horizon 3 from 2016 still looks great. Heck even GTA 6 trailer doesnt look graphically much better than Gta V
Something wrong with them 😂

Very true
And that’s cause it needs to connect to the server, the server has disconnected the game when it is inactive for a time period, its not a problem with the series s , its a problem on the game server

agreed - he's a lovely guy with a great presentation style and his comments on the Xbox S seem very fair and balanced.

I think working minimum wage jobs qualifies you for below average income. Thats not a terrible thing.
Currently considering this for Minecraft, Fortnite, Warzone and definitely Valorant in the Future..
I also realized that the Xbox Series S takes up less Mbps than the PlayStation. When you live in a house full of gamers, this is extremely helpful.
Personally, I have all the disks for the games that I want to play. And I am not getting rid of my Xbox one, since it still does the job. Overall good job on the video.

Had the X it got on my nerves as too large. I preferred digital games as no need to swap discs. Bought S never happier
