Deffo worth it 👌
100% 👌🏻
Any console is worth it 👌
No difference unless you want to power Microsoft flight sim with out streaming
I'm a playstation fan and I got a series s and a ps5
If you wanna game, it's a great choice. You don't always need the absolute best hardware to enjoy gaming.
I agree!! 💯
I bought the Series S almost at launch, very happy with it since. I've had PlayStation consoles, but the UI and controller of Xbox are just so much better.
When your homeless living in a caravan like me and only have 220ah battery 600w inverter xbox series s uses 70wh compared to 170wh series x
You'll soon discover the battery life is great compared to the PlayStation controller. I hope they don't get rid of the AA batteries option because I've been using the same set of rechargeable batteries for about 6 years now. I have two charging while I have two in the controller, and I get a couple of days worth of battery life out of each charge.
That's music to my ears! PS5 dualsense has to be charged at least once every 2 days for me. I need to invest in some rechargeable batteries for sure 👌🏻
I have to change my Xbox AA batteries every 3 days but like let's say I play several hours daily so I think the battery life is very good but ofc get good brand batteries like Duracell rechargeable batteries
@@dilemma404 I charge like every 3 weeks my rechargeable batteries for controller and I play alot.
they also create charging stations you can replace with a rechargeable battery and just put the controller on when not in use to always charge it ( idk if that’s what you mean)
@@IleianaSanchez that's true, but I've gone through about three of those. The Xbox rechargeable batteries don't seem to last as long as rechargeable AA's before they stop holding charge. Another reason I hope they keep the AA option.
Good video
One thing I’ve noticed about today’s gamers is that there are a ton of people that think Xbox is some kind of Third World subpar console. The hardware is awesome .
Thanks man! Yeah for sure. I think last generation really swayed the majority to other consoles, which is a shame. Xbox 360 era was top tier.
Instead of deleting games just get a external hdd or ssd and just transfer them over if your finished with a game.
Found my old external HDD that I used with my PS4 to do the same thing 👌🏻 cheers!
I got an S in 2021 when the X and PS5 were hard to get. It was a great deal imo and was very happy with it. I did upgrade to the X this year and my kids use the S. I'm happy with the X but to be honest if I didn't have kids I probably would of been just fine sticking with the S.
Got one with a 2yr Gamepass ultimate as part of bundle in Jan!! Super worth it!!
What a bargain!

Me 👋🏻
If you want a storage solution the 2TB Samsung T3 SSD shouldn't be too expensive. It will probably be more worth it than the internal SSD options you don't mind the fact that you cannot play the games directly off of it.
And one good thing is the transfer speed is 2.4Gbs average but never drops below 2Gbs. For me I average transfers between 2.4 and 2.3Gbs.
Ended up dishing out my old external HDD I used for my PS4 once upon a time 👌🏻 Thank you for the recommendation though!
Hdd only works for xbox one games or below@@ErkinHassan
I've had a series x for almost 3 years and Xbox still has it.
Halo infinite is a great game. Doom is also a great game.
The thing bought the series s is it plays the new games. So there's no downside.
Indiana jones is a more demanding game but works on the series s. Also doom the dark ages will be a demanding game but also will work on the series s.
Edit: I got a third party battery pack. You could just buy the offical one.
I’ve got a PS5. All I play is PUBG, so I’m thinking about getting a Series S or X because of the ergonomics of an Xbox controller. The 360 was my favorite controller of all time.
I play on PS5P and still love my Series S. Easily the best deal in gaming. Need to leave the house and want to take a console? This is the machine.
Replaced my series x to s due lack of space in my apartment. Although i can see difference in graphics they are not that big of a difference. Also owning physical copies with x was frustrating due i had to download the games anyway. So all long story short I love series s a bit more due it's size and I'm totally ok with dowgraded graphics also
My cousin gave me his a year ago, the only problem I’ve got is storage, I’m looking to get a 1tb hdd then I’m good to go. Overall it’s an okay console for casual gamers who want the cheapest way to entering the next gen console space
Here's what you can do for storage, if you have a nvme ssd or you're up for buying one, you can get a nvme to usb enclosure from amazon for 15-25 pounds and does the job, waaay faster than other external storages.
I just upgraded to a series X from the series S last week and it’s a huge difference imo. I’m playing games like Dead Island 2 and Stalker 2 that were not very enjoyable on the S and I’m blown away at how much better they play.
Yeah I loved mine. Also bought to dip my toes after basically nothing being released on my PS5 and skipping the Xbox one. Was nice to get into some Xbox games, indie stuff, gamepass & Forza. Been used so much. Only have an X now as I ended up selling my S for £150 to a mate and paying an additional £150 to another to buy his lol. Couldn't turn it down.. had that not have happened though.. I'd still have my S!
So you get a full media streaming box, a retro game box, a emulator, a console that can play next(now) gen games like: Cyberpunk 2077, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2, Flight Simulator 2024, Diablo IV, Baulders Gate 3, Starfield...etc, and up com ng games like Ninja Gaiden 4, Doom Dark Ages, Perfect Dark...etc
...all for £249 or less. What other system does that, esp at this price ?
I am about to buy it second hand it will be my second consol the first was ps2 like 10 years ago I dont even remember it, I am so exited and I hope storage wont be problem for me (I was saving money for it for 1 month and finally I can buy now)
Nice video my brother. U got a sub keep us updated on ur box journey i just got my series s before new year and im loving it stay consistent with ur uploads i want to see this channel grow
@@MarkieGrant-f5d thank you for your kind words bro! Will defo be making more content with Xbox for sure 👌🏻
When I saw your video then I thought you must be having minimum 5 million subs but when i saw i was shocked your content is top notch you will definitely grow my boy.
Love from india
Thank you bro! This is my second channel, but we'll hopefully grow more on here too 💪🏻
Its a tough sell for me personally. No disc drive. Not enough storage. Cant do 4k whereas the One X can. I could only see a point if you are brand new to xbox, you want to spend as little as possible and you dont mind gaming on a less powerful console than the other consoles.
Xbox Series S is fine even in 2025, if you are not bothered about physical disc. Want something just to play video games at FHD resolution, and you just have an FHD television. Quick Resume is just a great feature on Xbox Series consoles. Only recently started to use a cloud video gaming service, I chose Amazon Luna. Because I already have Prime, and most days it runs without any issues of lag at all. And that's on WiFi 5 GHz band. On the occasion that lag is present it is almost always a minor issue.
Modern 4k TVs with excellent A.I processors do a great job upscaling 1080p content.
I was planning to upgrade from series s to x but my brother said i should just stick with the s and just save my money and buy the next gen xbox since it might release in 2026
Such a nice console sir I'm from india using german unit since last 3 years no repairation ever done even have my own 100 games library with most of the huge aaa titles plus now a true hard core xbox fan ❤😭😭
Definitely worth it, i u are a budget gamers like me. I'm a working man but with this console is enough for me to spend my time❤
I bought used one 155$ in pristine condition very happy with it
Nice! I think with some new consoles you get a ridiculous amount of gamepass time. Like a year or more.
Some great bundles it's amazing! PS need to take note 👌🏻
I use my Series S for nothing but an emulation device. Its amazing for emulation with dev mode
I got my series s 3 days ago ❤
Yeah have also an ps5 for 1 year but i bought also few days ago an Series S simply because you Can play x Box 360 Games Most of Them which ps5 cant Play with ps3 or ps2 Games but atleast ps4
@vistaxx series s is little beast
Amazing! How are you finding it?
Not a good idea to buy the S. Way better to buy the X. With the S you install 1 game and over half your storage space is gone right there because every game now insists on being the size of the moon.
I agree with the original S. The new black version has a TB
Got one for GTA 6 as it never comes out on pc at launch
mine comes tomorrow
Me too bro. I’m playing Fortnite with it.
Hope you like it!
How I ordered mine and it’s coming on 19th of march 😭
Mine gets here tomorrow 1/25. I have series X though it’s for my kid!
Works great in my portable game enclosure, use my X otherwise.
Such a small powerful machine 👌🏻
Gears of War and State of decay is the only reason why i got Series S
I ended up getting the series X but the S is honestly great
If I had the money and space I'd go for the X tbh 😅 but still love the S
I never have any issues with my series s, I know how you said sometimes it gets stuck on the xbox loading screen.
What made me get a Series X instead, was on a youtube video that showed how the Series X has exceptionally improved graphic rendering on Starfield vs Series S. Usually you cant notice a difference but this quality was night and day. If you got the money, the Series X is a great investment for improved experience.
I sold it because all I was using it for old games like left for dead and a bunch of 360 games .i have a ps5 and found myself playing it way more while the Xbox was just collecting dust
Red dead redemption 2 working 864P on series S
With the recent an announcement of Forza Horizon 5 releasing on PS5 and other Xbox Games like Halo MCC and Gears E-day I don’t see the point of getting one since I can stream Gamepass on any device.
The Series S is more than worth it and I will keep it until there the new consoles come out
I got dev mode active and have gamecube, PS2, ps1, n64 games emulated. You can even run 360 games on an emulator that aren't backwards compatible
Serie s owner from day one here. Now its not worth. Serie x and play 5 have better performance on all new games, serie s cant handle 60 fps and now I’m playing all the new games at 30 fps and honestly it sucks
i just bought the console today and black ops 6 multiplayer is amazing!!! ❤ i need it cuz it’s free on gamepass!!!
Its ok for game pass. I bought mine a few years ago on sale for $230 and when the series x was hard to find. Its good for game pass games. I still rock my xbox one X tho!
I love PlayStation 5 slim digital Xbox series S and Nintendo Switch lite for gaming
What a line up 😅👌🏻
Regret getting an x over a s. Just for starfield😭. Probably would of kept a 2nd hand series s(nearly got-180) over a x I had. For gears and that.
Just always had PlayStation and got a 2020 1650ti gaming laptop & switch. So weren’t willing to keep it, for occasional use.
Series s is perfect for emulation on dev mode
wait for switch 2
How does the Xbox Series S freeze at startup? My Series S did not ever do that.
Should I be worried?
Thankfully it hasn't done it since I was setting it up, but I'll defo keep you posted in an update video
The series s is okay, but you’ll notice some stuttering here and there which is non existent in the series x
After a year your gonna have over heating problems, should really get the x if you can
Is that with certain games or?
@@ErkinHassan mostly , but on occasion I would be playing 360 games and the fan would be working overtime . Also if you have to many USB devices attached
I got a series S and a ps5 its a grest combo to own especially since I run my S on i high performance 1080p monitor
Series S is versatile asf
Its my dream to have any console
Just buy one , I bought 2 Xbox series x . One of me and the other for my little brother I bought 2 for 1,086 tax included . The series s cost half of the series x less than 300 bucks
was it ever worth it?
Yes and yes.
I have Xbox Series S.I am Xbox series S Fan
I don't think your mic is working that well audio is maxed out and I'm wearing headphones Astro need I say more and I barely can hear what you're saying
All good on my end bro! I've tried different devices too. Maybe double check your headphones?
Gamepass baby ❤
my mate got a series x because he's no internet, he had to call around to my house to set it up because it needs internet just to use it, but thats not the funny part.. he needed internet to install halo and a few other games from disc (wtf You need an internet connection to finish installing games from a disc?) so he end up trading it in for a PS5.. lol
How long it would be run games?
Vive xbox ❤
I would get myself a Nintendo switch 2 or a steam deck
Either of those if the price tag is around 350
Xbox series s on it every day
Hope you enjoy it 👌🏻
The series s is a good console
Expensive? Don’t think so they are cheap as chips.
I did not say this was expensive. The series X is expensive 🙂
Why not? Pointless video do not watch.
So pointless that you watched and commented twice. Hope you had a blessed weekend 🙂
Bru I’m getting the One S
Dont support all digital consoles m8 u should have saved and God an X
Buying an* Xbox series s
Fixed 🫡
Nah, im good.
Not a fan?
@ErkinHassan I just don't see any exclusives I want from either Sony or Xbox. I'm hoping next year there will be more games.
@@doomnotron So you’re not interested in Ghost of Yotei, or Death Stranding 2?
@nicekix3038 No, the first game was too long it lost steam. Death stranding 1 was trash. I will wait until the price drops massively. 2/3 years imo.
So cheap and just wanna play fc25
Garbage choice. F
Not a fan?
You know you could’ve bought the disc free version of the Xbox series X for $100 more dummy I mean, you could’ve spent $100 more if that gotten in 4K in overall better technology for your money and you probably could’ve gotten on sale. Why would you buy the series S when you could buy the digital version of the series X if you want a disc free console why would you ever buy the series S digital Xbox series X exist? like did you research before you bought this? Did you go online and see what else is available? Did you see that you could spend $100 or less on a better console if you didn’t want a this drive and you probably couldn’t. You probably could’ve gotten the one with the disc drive for cheaper than what you spent on the series says and just not use the disc drive like why would you ever get this? If you wanted a disc free console when you could’ve gotten the disc free Xbox series X, which is better than this in every single way.
I wanted this lol 🤣
boriiiiiiiiiing.....
I agree....
You're just not the target audience
Nah bro that xbox logo its gets stuck its not normal mine dont do that and its used
Yeah only happened when doing this video. Hasn't since thankfully
Yes it is
