2023 review of the NEW Xbox Series S 1TB SSD Carbon Black Edition.
In this 4K video I explain why this revised Series S is now the best value for money option in the current Xbox console lineup. We look at the design, controller, usable SSD storage capacity, price, Game Pass and performance with games like Starfield and Forza Horizon.

Need some help deciding between this and the series x. I have seen so many comments on other vidoes saying that you dant really see much of a difference graphics wise between the two but also people saying it's a huge difference. Same with running games as well. Should I get the Series S 1TB or spend the extra 150 and get the series x?

lets be honest. disc media is going the way of the dinosaurs. The up and coming revision PS5 won't even come with a disc drive, you'll have to buy the disc drive attachment separately, leaving the up and coming PS5 Pro the only playstation console to still support disc media right out of the box after sony retires the OG PS5. The writing is on the wall for disc media. The next gen consoles after these current gens probably won't even come with a disc drive built in.

@Tom.Hyphen 10 ай бұрын

I agree I’m a digital only guy, it’s just super convenient. And on Xbox all you really need is a Game Pass subscription 👍🏼

@SteelRhinoXpress 10 ай бұрын

@@Tom.Hyphen that and most games now are going over the data limit of these discs media. Modern Warfare 2 is a prime example that. the disk is basically used as a verification check that you bought the game, you still have to download the entire game off the internet. And Sony said they're not making any 8K disk drive so 4K disc are the last disk format and like I said the games now are going way over what 4K discs can handle.

@Neo_Rain146 10 ай бұрын

Nothing to review. It’s a series s with the only difference being the color and the extra 500gig storage. The price doesn’t make it a compelling offer. A regular used white series s can now be found for under €200 and even new for that price on Black Friday sales so why would anyone pay €350 for the marginal bump in storage when you can just connect a cheap external drive and store games on that? Also a digital edition PS5 is only €50 more and that’s a considerably more powerful console. If this was priced around €300 or less maybe.

@SteelRhinoXpress 10 ай бұрын

it makes sense when you are jumping from last gen to this current gen. But you can't play current gen games on an external drive though, you can only store current gen games on them. Well what if you only have played on a certain console brand for years where you have all your games tied to that console brand. It wouldn't make much sense to pay 50 dollars more for the other console brand just because it's more powerful when you have no games to play on it. Then you'll be spending a whole lot more than 50 extra dollars when you have to re-buy all the games that you had from the other console brand, to play on the other console brand that you just switched over to.

@MzGamr90 10 ай бұрын

For the exact reasons you mention is why I’m buying. I hate the white variant and the storage of course. This will be apart of my travel gaming set up with my portable monitor and live in my bedroom while I’m not traveling.

@Tom.Hyphen 10 ай бұрын

I disagree, only a $50 price increase for double the storage capacity sounds like a pretty good deal to me.

@Neo_Rain146 10 ай бұрын

@@Tom.Hyphen But it’s not tho. Like i said you can find the older series s for less than €200 in some cases so it’s more like €150 for double the storage. Might as well buy official expansion card for that price than an entire new console.

@Neo_Rain146 10 ай бұрын

@@SteelRhinoXpress In that scenario obviously you’d stick to the xbox ecosystem but then buy a xbox series x. I’ve seen them used for €400 but even new €150 more for the more powerful console with a disc drive is worth it if you likely have a back catalogue of old psychical discs so why would someone want a digital only console in that scenario. Someone without that issue obviously the ps5 digital edition is the more value for money

Starfield is the reason why I’m selling my Series X now and switching to PC Masterrace. 30fps is unplayable. Point. After an hour of playing SF I had enough of 30fps garbage. Hope my 4090 is coming until Friday, can’t wait.

Sadly the series S is holding back the generation. Yes this model improves the SSD space, but not the lack of RAM nor does it address the issue with the obsolete GPU. Waste of money

Xbox games can be scaled just like PC games. Starfield is a good example of it done right, runs really well on the Series S.

@SteelRhinoXpress 10 ай бұрын

Bethesda didn't have a problem with starfield running on the series s and that game isn't hardware friendly in the slightest. So what's the developers that cried about the series s, excuse now? It all boils down to some developers not wanting to optimize their games, because it's the less time consuming approach to develop a game. Yes there are limitations to the series s that the series x doesn't have issues with, like split screen gameplay on new titles like BattleGate but that's a very small thing, that effects a very small minority of gamers.

@Tom.Hyphen 10 ай бұрын

@SteelRhinoXpress I agree entirely, ultimately it’s down to the developers. Smaller dev teams don’t always have the resources to effectively optimise for the Series S, but Starfield shows what’s possible with a little effort and dedication.

@FactsOverFeelingsAnyday 9 ай бұрын

@@SteelRhinoXpress It ran well on series S because of FSR2 it runs at 900p with DSR and the fact that the game was scaled down graphically so it would run on console. My guess is you don't remember the tech demo and how it differs from the final product. The game looks like a previous gen game when it comes to character models, and certain textures. I'm not saying it doesn't look good, but you can tell that Series S held it back.
