Bought this and a 70” tv from target today on my lunch break! Dropped both of them off at home in my work truck and went back to work before my break was over. Needless to say in can’t wait to get off work today!!!!
The Xbox S is the perfect console for someone like me. I just got the same console recently. I'm a casual gamer, maybe one to two hours a night. I'm not picky about frame rates or 4k quality at the moment so it's a great way to play current games without needing to take out a small loan lol!
I don't understand why so many people don't like the series s. $300 is absolutely nothing compared to what you get. It rarely ever drops fps in games and doesn't lag at all especially compared to xbox ones.
I have been a PC gamer first and foremost since the early 1990s but have really been impressed with consoles since the Xbox 360 and PS3. Currently I have a Series X and a Series S (512GB) in different rooms and love them both. I will stick with what I have and get a storage expansion card if necessary but this new Series S might be a great thing for someone if it goes on sale on Black Friday. Too bad it is a fingerprint magnet like the Series X however!
I’m conflicted on getting this series S since I have a PC and ps5 already it won’t be a main console but I do wanna be able to run Xbox games like halo, Forza etc at better settings and framerate then my PC can handle and this is a cheaper alternative. Also my pc has around 500gb so it would save me a bit of storage too. Do you think the series S would be worth it?
The Series S is the GOAT, I love the Ray tracing and specs of the PS5 and Series X, but this is VERY close and it's about half the price and it's soo small, I love it 💕
So, I have a gaming PC with an RTX 3070 and a PS5. Recently, I got a Series S white (512 GB) for about $135 (second hand but used only for 2-3 months), with 6 months of Game Pass Ultimate included in the price. After one week with the Series S, I sold my PS5 because I didn't have time to play on it. From the moment I got the XSS, I realized I needed to force myself to play on the PS5. That’s when I understood that the XSS was the right fit for me. I play on a 4K TV, and while the PS5 might have better graphics, the difference isn't that noticeable. Since I played all my PS5 games on performance mode, the experience is similar to the Series S. However, I bought the PS5 for over $500. So, as someone who has owned all of them, I can say that the Xbox Series S is the console I need.
the black series s looks cooler imo and 1tb is a great upgrade. Should have been released like this, 500gb is nothing. Also i love the tom delonge guitar on the wall
That Xbox is a super great value even if you're a student you just get the Game Pass and there you go, especially considering that you can now buy the Series S 512Gb for less than 150 bucks in used market, that's insane.
There's 2 internal cards that come. With this SN530 and the SN560 SSD cards. We don't know the difference between the two, but I'm sure there is. It's a hit-and-miss one is from Western software or something like that. It's western digital that puts out the internal SN560 1 terabyte Internal card
I purchased the Xbox serise s carbon to pair up with my ps5. I did my Homework on the series s as far as games. I like some of the future exclusives that's coming out In the futrue. I'm already a 4k gamer. I do notice the difference but I'm not to heavy on the visual like some mite be. I just got the Xbox so I can enjoy the Xbox new games, old ones like gears and halo which I never cared to try until now. I think for myself if I did purchased a xbox x I won't be playing it much and for me at the end of the day ps5 gonna be my main console I game on . I 4got the mention left 4 dead one and 2 is on game pass and max payne 3 too.
Great review that speaks the truth. The new Series S and GamePass are a winning combo. Nobody mentions that the Series S streams video content in Dolby Vision with Dolby Atmos audio...the PS5 can't do that. I own a PS5 and Series X for my theater room and wanted a console for my living room and the new Series S checks every box and I use it daily. My eyes can't tell the difference in graphics
I cant wait to get my series s next year. I sold my ps4pro in January this year. I have owned all playstation consoles till the ps5. I have only owned xbox 360 and xbox one
I’m lucky because my grandma got one on September 1st and kept it for me until x mas and along with that I got a elite series 2 today and to think I was on a One S like 6 days ago
Sorry for the random comment but this is bugging me more than it should but my blacm series s already has some scuffs and scratches on it and its driving me crazy because I always want my stuff to look as flawless as possible. Is there anyway to get the scuffs and scratches off the system?😊
Im thinking of getting one because im intrested on some xbox games like forza horizon ecc., and since its more compact compare to the ps5, if i had to travel somewhere and stay for 1 month ill take the series s with a portable screen. Im more towards playstation but hopefully my experience with the series s is gonna be fine:)
I have a PS5 it's just so expensive 80 bucks for a yr basic subscription plus the 70 dollar games you pay for I'm getting to the point of my life where I'm super casual with gaming I'm really thinking about making switching
Need to know i have a ps5 but should i get this as a like secondary console I don’t want to not like it bc its “not powerful enough” but idk is it still a good option??
I need some advice, I had a launch series S and it was loaded with problems. I got a ps5 and dropped Xbox entirely. I do miss some games like forza and halo and I don’t know if I throw 350 at this console.
@@MinimalisTech it was definitely nice to have both, I was left with a bad taste in my mouth when it came to my series S, games wouldn’t run, it would lag, and some games just wouldn’t download
gamepass is fine but i would be so happy if they put more popular AAA games into that :D beecause i'm not much of a FPS i don't like halo I would really like to play all of assasin creed from 1 to the newest one but there is only origins and odysey on xbox gamepass
I have question ,when you pay for game pass and start playing some game ,what happen when game pass expire ,can you download that game on your account and continue to play or you have to pay again for one more month to continue with game you choose.Thx ,Im new one in xbox world
The series s 1TB wouldn't make sense if the series x dropped to 400 dollars, but since MS is keen on keeping a 3 year old console at 500 dollars at this time still, then the series s 1TB makes a lot more sense now at 350.
Yea. No price drop at all in 3 years for either console which is ridiculous. Kinda laughing at the people who said “I’ll wait a year or two for a price drop before picking one up” 😂
@@robertjr8205 the funny part is it did actually drop to 400 and even down to 379.99 in some retail stores. So now the 1TB series s makes no sense at its price point now.
You’ll love it, switch was good for what it did but it’s overdue for an upgrade. I’d recommend playing all the big games on the series s and the smaller games/nintendo exclusives in the switch to save yourself storage and have a better experience with said games imo
I already have the series X and the series S original. But just to add to the collection. I would like one of these carbon black as well. I also enjoy and prefer the series S even over the series. X. It’s my go to machine and I’m currently enjoying Skyrim and Starfield on it. My series X is really just a DVD player
I wouldn’t have even considered it. I have the white Series S and bought the Series X. If this model had been available, I would have just bought it instead. I love the small form factor of the Series S
Agreed, I already have the white Series S and definitely would not go out and buy this new model to replace it, I'd just expand the storage since I already have the console.
I have the white Series S and it's a great deal. However the PS5 Digital coming in at $50 more than the black Series S I'd have to say that is the bigger deal in gaming for your money.
The series s carbon edition is kinda useless, having the fact it only has 500 more gigs and most of these new version of games now a days your gonna need a storage hard drive. it is a pain in the butt finding a cheap one without hurting the wallet.
Find the series s here! - geni.us/BlackSeriesS
But recently bought Xbox series 512 gb second hand but it just cost me $CAD270 ($US200) and the money is definitely worth spending on it 👍😇😇☺️
@@yash22s have fun gaming
Xbox Series S is a great budget console, especially with Gamepass. Got me back into console gaming too!
Enjoy! I just bought one today. I like how small it is compared to my ps4

Nice video! I just bought one today! Upgraded my ps4 to the Xbox series S 1tb console. Pretty stoked!
A bag of milk is an interesting measurement comparison lol
Canadian thing lol
For fifty dollars more than the normal series s, you can’t go wrong. Thanks for the awesome review, I’m keen for more!
In my country it costs the same as the WD black 1tb ssd so it’s not worth it here 😭
I just got mines yesterday and I love it

I got one today i had an Xbox One s and now the series s and i'm happy asf right now
Here for the ES-333, stayed for the great review. The Series S is no slouch, the black looks so clean.
Beautifully done !
I constantly forget that there are bags of milk. Makes me hate my plastic jug o’ milk in the fridge 😂
I knew you’d mention the bag of milk, lol. It was a bit out of place to be brought up the way it was in the video.

*cries in $500 aud for a launch series s*
I hope xscreen make an black screen monitor for the black version of Xbox Series S

Umm good sir where do you find bags of milk. Dope video
Its a thing in Canada
GOod unboxing!, I'm looking forward to seeing when it will arrive here in Brazil
I really want one I have a launch series s already though I think I'll give that one to my little brother and get this one

Play on a nice 4K TV and series S signal will be upscaled to 4K by the TV. The vast majority of games, also do not go that far above 1440 P.
Before I got my Series X, I also ran my Series S on my 75 inch 4K TV in the living room and was very happy with it!

I bought Rog Ally and dumped back to dealer after 24 hour switching to Carbon Xbox seres s 1tb what a deal!
Does it lagg or anything bad
So how to setup a console that can put 3 years ago just different colour and bigger HDD.
I’ll be buying the 1tb for Black Friday so I can make use of gamepass and back compat. Ps5 hasn’t been too exciting for me.
I got this and hooked it up with a keyboard and mouse because I cant afford a PC and suck on controller and its great

I thought this was a pull for xbox till I saw that new new at 3:16😏
Great video.
Never had a problem with mine.
I bought a Series X 1 TB with Diablo for same price of this of $349. Walmart special for a week or two
I wish I had that xbox series s wright now
First minute in and he’s already roasting the back of the box😂😂
I get outside merica bags of milk are common, but that reference almost completely lost me.

I like it better then my series x , takes up way less room and looks better in my opinion lol
Nice Review!
I'm with you love it
Need to know i have a ps5 but should i get this as a like secondary console I don’t want to not like it bc its “not powerful enough” but idk is it still a good option??
why not use nvidia shield and play in 4K/120 Hz all games from your pc on the LG C2 via gamestream !? nvidia shield is also half the size....

You have to pay for new gamepass subscription
add 50$ and buy PS5 Digital with full experience(on par with XSX) they should sell it for the same price
Fun fact the series S makes up about 70 percent of xbox console sales so most of next gen xbox’s are series s
This is what I bought my 8 year old son for christmas!
I hope he’s enjoying it! It’s a great pick for a console!
