Is the Xbox Series S really worth getting?

[Child_Of_God]

I got some extra money to spend and I wanted to use some of it to buy a next gen console but the PS5 and Series X is still sold out everywhere and the only console that’s available to buy right at this moment is the Series S.

It is really worth buying or should I continue to wait until the PS5 and Series X is restocked?

according the your fellow coli memebers the series S is also sold out everywhere.

 

[levitate]

No.

Wait a bit more for PS5 or the X.

shyt doesn’t even do 4K.

It’s not worth it if it’s just cause you are impatient.

But if you are are looking for a budget option or second console it’s definitely worth the money.

The series X or PS5 aren’t “worth it” if you don’t have a good tv to pair them with.

depends on what you want it for

i got a p5 and a series s, take the series s when im traveling for work and leave the 5 at the crib

im a real casual player so things like 4k and all that aren’t essential for me if im just chilling in a hotel and want to play something real quick, if youre not tripping about specs and just want that then the series s is a good look

if youre real serious and want to enjoy the full experience of a game w a good tv and all that then definitely wait for a p5 or series x, the difference between the tiers is noticeable

Just having the disc drive and extra storage is worth holding out for the Series X. The S is limited to digital only and only has 512GB of storage.

Follow this guy on Twitter. He tweets out when the major retailers drop PS5 and XBox consoles. I got an Xbox and PS5 last week through him. Just gotta be ready when he tweets.

I've said it in other threads but I love my series s. My series x stays home but this series s is small enough to take you wherever. Next gen gaming on the go

If you got a physical PS5 or XBSX that changes the dynamic. I buy a lot digital now but I would never want to be locked into digital only when you can end up finding games on sale and getting them cheaper physical.

totally right. I don’t think about the physical game aspect cuz I’ve gone digital but I also have the x in case I need to pop a game in. In any case, before I got my x.....I loved it for the sheer portability and the easy access into next gen gaming.

Everyone has an opinion, do you not value your own? If you have a TV capable of 4k/120 then get a series x and if not then the series s will be fine. They are beginning to get much better performance out of it and that will only improve as the dev kits mature.

 

[Fctftl]

Wait to get the Series X.


The S is a good secondary console for traveling.

 

[Captain Crunch]

Unless you have a 4ktv or a graphics whore, just get a S.

 

[The Mad Titan]

It's an option and not a bad one depending on your setup and how much you care about 4k and all digital boxes.

If you just trying to get away from last gen and you got a gang of games you want to play or try go for it.


If you think there will be any regret at all just wait for a series X
