Quick Resume allows you to jump between 7 to 9 games where you left off at within seconds, fast load times, Ray tracing, gaming at up to 60 to 120fps, backwards compatibility from 3 generations of Xbox, and Smart Delivery meaning you get the Xbox Series X/S edition of a game free if you own the Xbox One version of the game, besides sports games and games published by Rockstar.

@@LoffyElite I own the white one which I got second hand for 160£, its really worth it, the only downside is how much games cost and having to pay to play multiplayer or even some games. but that consoles man, and the game pass ultimate subscription got what u need. if you want to own a game buy It if u just wanna play it the subscription is what I recommend. Also Elden ring is so good, I finish the game the other day, cant wait for the dlc
Series S for 1080p , 1440p
Series X for 4k
Ps5 for 4k
Pc for 8k
Pc if you have money i mean for 8k you really have to
@@LIL_Perny no native 1080p is enough for me
I bought my Series S in early 2022 when it looked like the chip shortages would never end and was using it in conjunction with my OG 1080p 500GB Xbox One for disc based games. Fast forward a few months and I was unexpectedly able to snag a Series X at retail. But it's worked out well since I have the Series X in the living room hooked up to my 60Hz 4K TV and have the Series S in the spare room hooked up to my 12-year-old 1080p TV. I am an Xbox gamer going back to 2004 and have many games on physical disc so having the Series X is pretty much essential but I also own a lot of games digitally now too and the Series S has been a great experience for those. I hope Xbox as a brand can turn their fortunes around since we need a competitive balance in the console market.

First time viewer, new subscriber here. This was the perfect, informative video. You answered every question that I had when considering the Series S. I currently have a PS5, but want to take advantage of Game Pass, and the Series S looks to be my best option. Thanks for the information.
The Xbox series S is perfect for those who don’t play a lot of video games. You can buy it for a kid and they will be happy with it.
Bro wtf? Series s is no joke with gamepass included I've played over 100 serious AAA and AA games. I only play tasteful games, plague requiem, star wars jedi fallen order, survivor, halo infinite, gears of war 4 and 5, forza horizon 5 and motorsport, lara croft trilogy, Sea of thieves, diablo 4, control, mass effect, deadspace, dead island, resident evil 2 and 3, hellblade senua saga and 100's of more serious to play titles. Its no kid machine, if you think its for people who don't play much games then ps5 is people who do not even play games as ps5 costs a penny to buy games that you like especially third party games which are more than 600 are on game pass for free and is around 2k-8k on playstation. So i think playstation is something for kids whereas xbox series s is for serious gamers who don't give a shit and want to play lot of titles. I play 3-4 games each day and by the end of the month i delete them and just download new titles, or sometimes if my friends come it would take half and hour to download 2k nba fifa or ufc, or split screen titles or any multiplayer game ( which are paid on ps5) and just delete them the same day i downloaded. So picking up a game and playing is more easier than buying a game and looking for sales and paid games too are cheaper if you own game pass ultimate then compared to playstation store or steam.
Yeah I really want to upgrade to next gen and prefer Xbox for game pass. But I’m no elite gamer. In fact I like oldies & indie games a lot of the time. And my TV is older and I really don’t plan on replacing it soon. The S is coming out on top for me so far.
@@digitalanimemerchandise7560it’s a joke my 😂😂😂😂 my Xbox x is meant for gamers not loser
I play a lot with my Series S and Im an adult. Its a good console, not a toy
xbox is weak af is like russian calculator with 30 fps lol
Instant Sub my friend. Love this video.
I'm new here and man you are creating mad content
Hey @ValisMind I also have the Carbon Black series s with a Hisense TV pretty sure the same model and was wondering if you could tell me your Pictures settings for Game mode HDR Dolby Vision and SDR. Thanks man 🙏
That's a solid yess👌🥂
How on earth did you find one for 200 dollars?
the series s is a great console but without the disk drive it limits you to only playing digital games . Its alot of games that you can no longer purchase or play from the digital store but if you have the disk you can still enjoy them on the series x . Just to name a few , The Orange Box, Driver SF , Transformers ect...
I primarily play sports games, madden & 2k, the only reason I am switching is for ncaa & gta, worth the x or get the s with extra storage?
It’s definitely worth buying in my opinion. I’m enjoying my Xbox series S.
You’ll definitely not enjoy GTA VI then
I play the series s on a 60hz 1080p monitor and the experience has been more than great now. I’ve been playing old games that I’ve missed out on.
The only thing that I do not like about the series S so far is it does not have an optical audio port and I run mine through a projector that only has one HDMI which goes into my Xbox and there is only one HDMI in the Xbox as well so I don’t have a way to plug my audio into my projector or Xbox
I paid 219.99 with 3 month of game pass at target a few months ago.
It’s a perfect console for me I have a series x on my main tv downstairs and the series s upstairs
Bought mine 2 weeks ago. 1tb one for £300. Brilliant machine. I'm not a big gamer but this will do me. Don't need the X. Amazing graphics and gameplay.
Hey how’s it going I’m thinking to buy it
@@ammaaramir100% get one bro! It’s cheap and it’s nice! I have no complaints I even have a series x and still use my series s
I think once the digital X comes out next month for $399 it will be the better deal as it will have the full power of the X. I will probably sell my S for the new digital X.
If I use my ps5 as my main gaming console would the series S be a good investment ?
I love my series S carbon black I was against it all digital but now I would not traded some games are really cheap in the Microsoft store
whats your game tag?
I'm an series S user since 2022. Do I have to wait for new box X 2024 or get this current series X
+1
i would wait it out until the next generation comes out
@@mia-mh5nj till 2026?
While I find a lot of enjoyment in my Series S, there are some titles that look less good even on a 1080p monitor compared to Series X, let alone PC. Forza Motorsport sometimes has some weird optimalisation decisions (missing shadows, overdone blur in cutscenes) Elite Dangerous runs smooth (a notorious resource hog on PC), however the anti-aliasing is just ugly, again compared to Series X. Immortals of Aveum is just a bad port and that studio will not repeat that mistake.
But the biggest issue with the white Series S (and I am surprised that the video did not mention it) is the SSD space, which lets you store only two (bigger) titles. And maybe a third one which is small enough. This actually breaks the 'such a good value with Game Pass' argument as you cannot exploit the value of the Game Pass having to constantly juggling with SSD space, and deleting and redownloading you third favourite game.
I had made my homework diligently purchase and together with the white Xbox Series S, I invested in an external 2 TB SSD, from which I play the Xbox One titles directly and keep the Series X/S optimized titles only on the internal SSD. And it is just good for me, but your mileage may vary.
I am so surprised that nobody commented on the kitty who jumped in for some sim driving apparently...
I got one for some Xbox exclusives and to use as a side console to PS5. I’m really not too thrilled with mine. I kind of knew that it would eventually turn into a 30 fps machine seeing that new games are just more demanding, but I thought at least Xbox exclusives would run at 60 on this thing. Not the case unfortunately and as more newer games are coming out it’s very evident that the S is too underpowered. Microsoft should have just released the X and X digital. My S basically only gets used now to play old games with fps boost or to watch tv. Otherwise I’m just using PS5. I’d be pretty ticked if the S was the only console I had though. Great little console for kids. Cheap, quick…just unfortunate to have to rely on sales from the Microsoft store.
I bought a used one xbox series s for 130€ so many happy hours
WHERE?
Definitely if u have game pass and causally play
project ellewood incoming august 2024
Series X for me as the Series S can’t do 4k
I'm new here I want to get an Xbox and this video was very helpful thanks ❤
Deffinelly a great purchase if you don't have a 4K TV

wtf how???
@@Santinal-iv8ze imma buy ps5 xd

@@user-ht1hj2cn5jps5 slim is 670$ for me but i want it to play gta with my friends although xss is half the price so idk
Xbox Series S and even the Xbox One are great budget consoles if you dont want to pay full coin for a PS5 or Xbox Series X.
No for sure. There are many games cant run 60 fps on xss.
I've still mine and mine one was a German unit 😂
I hate it’s digital but I don’t care anymore it’s a must cop. I own a ps5 and the graphics really ain’t that much better honestly
Dude you’re trippin. This console is amazing I love it.
Got x for 250e used:)
Series s > Ps5, series x or pc. Why? because of price to performance ratio, game pass versatility.
Bro wtf? Series s is no joke with gamepass included I've played over 100 serious AAA and AA games. I only play tasteful games, plague requiem, star wars jedi fallen order, survivor, halo infinite, gears of war 4 and 5, forza horizon 5 and motorsport, lara croft trilogy, Sea of thieves, diablo 4, control, mass effect, deadspace, dead island, resident evil 2 and 3, hellblade senua saga and 100's of more serious to play titles.

I agree with u. If u havent yet played Lies of P from Game Pass, do so before it leaves from the service! One of the Best game I ever played.
@@susanna8612 can i be honest, i played lies of P day 1 when it came on game pass 😍 i loved it tbh that semi soul's like combat system is really cool. I am currently playing star wars jedi survivors which dropped newly on game pass i would appreciate it if you play unless you've played it but don't worry lies of P will return as quantum break did if you haven't played quantum Break i seriously would say it is hands down the best xbox exclusive that people sleep on the game is a movie or a really deep science slash time powers shooting really fun super addictive powers and alot of good wow moments series/ game. Please do play thesee 😭😭♥️
lol another player which buy console for free games and indies from gaypass
@@DepresjaToFikcja cry more pony.
If you can afford it price to performance ratio doesn't matter.
I wish the series s was just a disk less series x. gimping development between 2 machines for exclusives and then a ps5 if its third party is just annoying. Well I wonder what games would be if it was just the series x which is a capable machine. That senua hellblade 2 is out soon.
I do own a series x mainly for backwards comparability.
This gen is dumpster fire. Were 4 years in almost and just starting to see what these machines could can do. I wonder what the ps5 pro will do with its upgraded titles? With how bad this gen is for microsoft will they push out a new machine sooner? at this rate will the exit hardware altogether and just focus on streaming services.
Off course the series s is a great entry for this gen. Duh its super cheap and games are required to be catered to it. However, I am disappointed that microsoft went this route with the spec shaving they did with it
There is simply no better gaming device for the money. This thing routinely has deals at $200 or under.
So my humble opinion about the console comparison with the Xbox series s is this.
I had my PlayStation 5 since day 1 release & although I did enjoy it with its power & graphics I got completely burnt out from Sony products from spending more than enough money on controllers alone I could’ve bought a whole other PlayStation 5 so I cashed it in used to switch back over to Xbox after 10+ years on PlayStation. I picked up the Xbox series S 1T carbon black & I can confidently say I do NOT regret even downgrading. The LFG system alone with Xbox is more than enough to get enjoyment out of games. The 120fps & HDR isn’t a noticeable difference. I’m 100% glad I switched over from PS5 to the Xbox Series S.
No it’s not. It’s a nice console but you’ll need the Series X with more storage or the PS5 slim with a 2tb SSD
Big *No* unless u wanna play older games
I just think that the Xbox one X is a better deal with the Xbox series S because it has a disk drive and is more powerful consul drive and it’s more powerful
Yeah, but the Xbox one X has a disc drive and it’s more powerful and you can get it for cheaper
Its a cable box, its cheap because everything filters through MS. All my physical games have to be rebought. No thanks.
Stop buying physical. They aren’t gonna be here much longer.
@@kingofsayians2224 🤣
@@kingofsayians2224 ehh actually it would be wise to buy physical because if everything is digital it actually hurts in the long run especially if these company remove games off market
@@Bloodinbloodout5 I swear there's laws for this so companies cant do it. they probably be able to remove from being able to purchase it but u still own and can play the games on your library, think of rocket league on steam moving to epic
Some of games required to download additional data anyways
I got both 😂 and ps5
I don't know if is just me but call of duty on ps5 is wayyy sharper than on the series s.
The price is way sharper too 😂
Okay compare the ps5 to a console that is the same price, the series x. The series X beats the ps5 by so much
Basically a 1060 6gb for £250/£300 I'd say it's definitely worth it.
No unless you get it for 200 or less
I just want it for gamepass PlayStation 5 has no games only exclusives
I’m not loyal to Xbox I play both consoles
3:43 freaky ahhh ninja he a 69 god
No
Shush kid
xbox series sh**
I just think with the Xbox one X is a better deal than the series S because as a drive and it’s more powerful
Xbox One X doesn't play next gen optimized titles
Series s is shit
Why
Xbox os Looks better than ps5 os in my opinion
Starfield is one of the games that made me want to game again
