I grabbed the Series S over the past holiday season, and I want to give my thoughts on what I think of the console, after not being on Xbox for over a decade. It's not for everyone, that's for sure.

The XboxSeries S is the perfect console for non-Western gamers who have to deal with ps5 prices reaching $800 or more with no financing options. For example, the PS5 is up to five times what a gamer earns in a month in Nigeria. The Series S is the console to get if you want a "taste" of next gen but can't afford the whole "plate"

Excellent point that I did not consider at the time. EDIT: You inspired me for an idea for a future video...

That’s true. I have a Ps5 and just purchased a Series S. I’m not a westerner but I know in California they make good money. I’m an easterner from the east side of the United States. Good system and budget friendly.

A good objective video. I got my Series S in early 2022 to supplement my Xbox One so that I would have a next gen console but still have my old console around for disc-based games. At the time when I bought my Series S, it seemed like the chip shortages would never end. Fast forward a few months and I did manage to snag a Series X. So I moved the Series S into the spare room on my old TV and it's been great on there ever since. For games for my Series S, I usually look at the weekly sales and have picked up several digital games on the cheap on there over time.

I just moved from a ps4 to the series s like a week ago and i think its a pretty good deal for me personally even tho its only 512gb but the ssd is working like a dream, its completely better than what i had before when it comes to quality and performance i highly recommend it if you are someone who wants to switch to the new generation consoles and you dont have the budget for a ps5 or series x

@FrozenVayneGames 4 ай бұрын

Just sort of depends on how big the price jump is imo. If the X ever comes down to the 300-350 pricepoint again, I would easily argue to get the X unless the S drops to under 200.

I was gonna get a Series S for Game Pass since I do most of my heavy gaming on PS5. With the news of Xbox games maybe making their way to PlayStation, I’m glad I waited. I’m gonna get a Steam Deck instead

Ps plus is kinda shit but hey, i spent $80 on a discount for whole year. Kinda thinking about getting series s for game pass too. And also i want a steam deck too. In cambodia, the non oled one is $150 different. Is it worth it for the lcd one?

@malvinas78 4 ай бұрын

I bought a Series S anyway. They were going for $150 a couple months ago for Black Friday and Christmas holidays. I don’t know too much about steam deck but if it’s cheaper brand new for about $100 I’ll buy one. Right now my PS5 is in the living room and the series s is the bedroom console.

@@rattanaklegacy2188 for $150 difference you’d be better off getting the OLED model, screen is slightly larger and of better visual quality and some internal components are also improved vs LCD version

2:50 You don't need a proprietary SSD for extra storage. You can in fact use an off the shelf SSD, like the Seagate I use, and they're not that pricey anymore.

@FrozenVayneGames 4 ай бұрын

Very true, but you cannot play Series S games directly off any external drive. Same way with PS5 unfortunately. I still say the proprietary SSDs are relatively pricey when you can find off the shelf nvme drives for under 100 bucks for 1TB.

Thats not a ssd thats a external drive fool

That's a bit warped, I have a ps5 series s and gaming pc. The s is great for casual couch gaming and gamepass and uses half the power which is great for me on solar.

My brother plays fortnite splitscreen with his wife. Series S is the perfect console for him.

That's awesome to hear! For games like fortnite the Series S is absolutely excellent value.

The Series S is more graphically capable than the One X. The One X sometimes has higher resolution.. take a look at videos where people compare the series s smashes the one X.. on the paper you showed it’s more powerful..

@FrozenVayneGames 4 ай бұрын

On paper from a GPU perspective, the Xbox One X's GPU has more raw gpu compute power in terms of raw numbers, (The paper shows this, 4TF on the Series S vs 6TF on the One X, along with more RAM and higher memory bandwidth). This is why the One X will have sometimes higher resolution fidelity than a Series S. That GPU was designed with 4K in mind. You do have a point though, the Series S does have extra features and technologies that will make it run and perform better in a number of games, mainly due to the drastically better CPU.

Xbox One X = Xbox Series X Xbox One S = Xbox Series S

I only bought this because ... A: PC gaming is unoptimized overpriced crap show. B: This potatobox will run anything within it's limits untill 2026 , so if you have a mid range PC then you can easily move over to the series s to play your unplayable , unoptimized pc games for the fraction off the cost. Pc is just a inferior , unoptimized platform that requires 3x times the requirements minimal represented within it's store page. Don't be fooled with GTX 1060 or RTX 2070 , combined with a ryzen 1600 or older I7 it's a fat LIE but the series S potatobox with a gtx 1650 can just run it without issues. LOL
