It’s such a good deal that people are speculating Microsoft is losing at least $80-$120 on each unit. Why they are selling them for a loss is because they want you to subscribe to game pass, which is also why the console doesn’t have a disk drive. Either bug games full price without a third party retailer in the way or subscribe and give them money every month. They really had a great plan this generation.

I LOVE THIS CONSOLE. I'm a hardcore gamer and all you need is to get a storage card and that eliminates the storage issue. I've never used discs either so even for a hardcore gamer this console is great
What I notice a lot of people fail to realize is that even for the systems that use discs, that storage would be an issue because of the fact that you still have to install that entire file size on the drive from the disc anyway. Take Master Chief Collection for example: if you play it from the disc, it takes up just as much storage on the hard drive as if you played it digitally because it installs that entire file to the system, seeing as the systems can read the data off the hard drive faster than it can read off a disc.
I mean im a little scared to buy the Xbox series s because I bought madden 22 and nba 2k 22 so I would buy the Xbox series x because I don’t want to waste on my new disc games
I actually have a bad problem with buying and trading the same games over and over again. I've finally managed a few years ago to stop trading my consoles. I've owned at least twenty copies each of Sonic Heroes, SoulCalibur III and various others because of that. I still like my physical copies though. I have gotten better at holding onto my discs and not trading them.
Appreciate the video man. Im 12 and my 6 year old gaming laptop just went out of date so i got a job with my dad -honda dealership- and saved up just enough and this seems perfectly balanced for $300 compared to a new $2000 computer
I have had my Series S for a little more than a month. I got it for $325 at GameStop and have been pleasantly surprised at the performance of this little console. I added GamePass to it and set up some accessibility features to make gaming slightly easier for me. I have 3 games installed and still have over 300 GB left over for more games. I am very happy with my purchase. I previously played on a PS4 and it’s SILENT compared to the PS4. I normally play on Nintendo consoles/handhelds but I wanted to explore more games and games that aren’t on my Switch. I will be keeping this little console for a long time.
I was buying series x. Then I spent more and built myself a RTX 3060ti desktop and now I will buy this for gaming while I travel. Also it looks sweet with that formfactor.
My mom just helped me order a Xbox Series S off Amazon bc it was my sweet 16 birthday last week and I mostly got money since I don't play with toys anymore. Estimated time for it to arrive was October 21st - October 28th but it actually came earlier than expected bc it came today while I was in school so this was very helpful :). I already played on Xbox Series S bc my older brother has 1, he got his last year, and he felt bad I couldn't play a Series S of my own yet so he let me put my own profile on his til I got mine today, even though when I put the profile on his I had to make a new account bc I forgot my info from when I had the account I had when I played on Xbox 360 and Xbox One. I mainly play on PlayStation 4 but I'm ngl, I'll probably play this more often than that. I'm obviously still gonna keep my PlayStation 4 though bc I have my other games like Five Nights at Freddy's: Core Collections and stuff on there and all my PlayStation friends. I've made so much friendship bonds with people on Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo throughout the years it ain't even funny and I don't want to lose any of that. Anyways, again, this was very helpful and thanks 😊.
I am getting the Series S. Works well for me! It is next gen - supports all next gen games - fast loading - small - has Microsoft Flight Simulator - can transfer games to a cheap 3.0 USB stick to save memory and can hit 4K on some games (if that is ya thing).
@@k3p462I know you didn’t ask me but the storage is viable if you have another console to install big games on. I personally got an external hard drive to save some money and get more space I now have 1tb extra storage for only $55. Recommend getting a external hard drive if you want more storage without paying too much and especially if the series S is gonna be your main console

@@nah123w7e It's up to you, if you like Playstation exclusives you can go with that but Game Pass is great for the current price / cost, I really enjoy my XBOX since I also play PC and quite a few games have cross-progression and / or cross-buy. ( my personal opinion is that I prefer Microsoft's devices more )
As a PC gamer, it is nice to see how the Xbox evolved. I had the clunky Xbox 360 that served its time. As you may know, some Xbox games have not crossed to the PC world yet hence I am purchasing this just to play those games. I don't see myself needing to pay for game pass or upgrading the storage. I can just buy a game from my PC and download it to the Series S. My shipment is coming tomorrow.
I’ve had this console for 6 months and it is mind blowing to see how good it works. It may be the smallest Xbox console, but it is one of the best Xbox consoles. The lame part about this console is the storage. We all know it is a small console, but still, 360 GB is not enough. Anyway, I love this console so much ❤ :DD
"If we didn't want to use this [app], then what else can we do..." - My thoughts exactly when setting this up. Thankfully you can set up right thru the console itself. Damn apps!
I have a ps5 and series S and i gotta say, the smoothness of the ps5 is a lot better but its almost not noticeable if you dont have ps5 or series X. The S takes almost no desk space, quiet, and more customizable than the ps5 at the moment too. Def worth the buy.
i dont like how all of these reviews are saying the Series S is for casual player and average gamers etc do you think everyone has 500 laying around for a console bro its what we can afford
I personally would get 144 hz monitors over 4k-8k TVs cuz I care more about performance so it can still play 1080p HDR and most importantly 120 fps which is a huge plus for games like Fortnite, Halo Infinite and stuff like that
The Xbox One S is available in 500 GB, 1 TB, and a "special edition" 2 TB model, which originally retailed at US$299, $349, and $399 respectively. The 2 TB model was released on August 2, 2016, and 1 TB and 500 GB models were released on August 23, 2016.
I just brought one simply as I have all my games on store so the disc drive isn't a issue and also if it plays next generation games I'm happy with that for the money and what it performs it's a great console
I'm so glad that I did bought it 2 months ago and I'm enjoying every moment of it so far. No doubt, it was the best money spent and to be perfectly honest, I'm glad I don't have to go out and buy a physical copy of a game.
The Series X and PS5 are so hard to find im considering a Series S just to have access to the next gen titles coming out. Game Pass more than makes up for the lack of a disc drive, and for the price it looks amazing
He probably had it on for a few hours(remember he downloaded some games and I'm pretty sure forza horizon 4 can't download in 10 minutes?) I also got the series s and the fan only ramps up around 2 to 3 hours of heavy use or graphically intensive applications!
So if I have a normal Xbox and I’ve downloaded games on there from the store and I sign on the Xbox s do my games go on there apart from the disk games?
I've read some comments around the interwebs about the series S and how people aren't unhappy with their decision, which makes me feel better. I have been a Playstation fan since the PS1. But I am NOT going to wait another year or MORE, to get my hands on a next gen console, so I picked up the Series S today at Walfart. As long as this thing updates sometime today then I'll be good to go.
Energy mode has nothing to do with Quick Resume. The real problem is that there are some bugs in some games that support Quick Resume so Xbox decided to temporary disable Quick Resume in order to fix those problems
Even with the Series X it depends on storage too because the disc just installs the game much faster onto the ssd, but it being 300Gb available on series s, that’s like 3-4 games and ur out of storage.

I already played on Xbox Series S bc my older brother has 1, he got his last year, and he felt bad I couldn't play a Series S of my own yet so he let me put my own profile on his til I got mine today, even though when I put the profile on his I had to make a new account bc I forgot my info from when I had the account I had when I played on Xbox 360 and Xbox One. I mainly play on PlayStation 4 but I'm ngl, I'll probably play this more often than that. I'm obviously still gonna keep my PlayStation 4 though bc I have my other games like Five Nights at Freddy's: Core Collections and stuff on there and all my PlayStation friends. I've made so much friendship bonds with people on Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo throughout the years it ain't even funny and I don't want to lose any of that. Anyways, again, this was very helpful and thanks 😊.
Congrats bro, you're living the dream!
I am getting the Series S. Works well for me! It is next gen - supports all next gen games - fast loading - small - has Microsoft Flight Simulator - can transfer games to a cheap 3.0 USB stick to save memory and can hit 4K on some games (if that is ya thing).
Right? Plus it's very cheap so it's definitely worth it.
@@frederichbank-emmanuel3480 LOL it's only cheap because the storage is so small, if you buy the storage upgrade it costs as much as the X version lol
Just got it finally 😩 looks so 🔥🔥🔥
How you finding the storage mate looking at getting one but not sure about the storage
@@k3p462I know you didn’t ask me but the storage is viable if you have another console to install big games on. I personally got an external hard drive to save some money and get more space I now have 1tb extra storage for only $55. Recommend getting a external hard drive if you want more storage without paying too much and especially if the series S is gonna be your main console
Got mine today, This little box is amazing !!
I asked my dad to bring me a Xbox one s he by mistake brought me this I'm so happy with my life.
Lucky bastard 😭😭😂😂😂

Thats a big win
Just got the Series s today and it’s so lit
Damn. I gotta get one.
I just got my Xbox Series S thanks for the great recommendation!
R we gonna talk abt how he was recording at like 3 in the morning, what dedication to the cause my guy
getting an xbox series s tomorrow i’m so excited!! 😆
Mine is coming today cant wait !
How's the no disc like
@@terencedhlamini7682 it doesn’t bother me. if your games are all digital it’s not really an issue
@@getoffmyprofile who buys disk in 2021 i love digital cause I buy of store why order disk when u install and plsy on reelese I don't work due to covid so im getting s idk about 4k I don't have 5pp
@@matthewjames5247 because disks take up less storage space
Thank you SO MUCH i got one for Christmas and this really helped me
Still a great gaming system, I love mine, had it for more than 8 months already and looking forward to buy the Series X.
Should I go with ps5 or Xbox series s (with 1TB extra storage SSD) please suggest me since you own already
@@nah123w7e It's up to you, if you like Playstation exclusives you can go with that but Game Pass is great for the current price / cost, I really enjoy my XBOX since I also play PC and quite a few games have cross-progression and / or cross-buy. ( my personal opinion is that I prefer Microsoft's devices more )
@@Maxiow thanks mate 🙏
Just picked one up yesterday it’s an amazing console!!
How’s it holding up?
@@hunterrasdall4147 it's pretty great we'll for my freind at least he's had it for a year now and it's still really good
@@hunterrasdall4147 great other than it getting super hot at times
That is one of my favorite console. This is too special for me.
As a PC gamer, it is nice to see how the Xbox evolved. I had the clunky Xbox 360 that served its time. As you may know, some Xbox games have not crossed to the PC world yet hence I am purchasing this just to play those games. I don't see myself needing to pay for game pass or upgrading the storage. I can just buy a game from my PC and download it to the Series S. My shipment is coming tomorrow.
How do you put a game you bought on pc on the series s?
@@zabiullahMONTAGESMicrosoft store
I upgraded to this from a one s cuz im only going to be playing minecraft fortnite and halo and cold War on it
You just named all the games I'll ole playing
Same for me it’s rocket leaugue, war zone, Minecraft, and game pass gsmes
I'm going to be playing Untitled Goose Game, Minecraft and Rocket League mostly so I'm hopefully getting one
@justin deibler no.
FIFA 21 available in game pass? Or shall I buy it
I’ve had this console for 6 months and it is mind blowing to see how good it works. It may be the smallest Xbox console, but it is one of the best Xbox consoles. The lame part about this console is the storage. We all know it is a small console, but still, 360 GB is not enough. Anyway, I love this console so much ❤ :DD
How do you download offline games to play on Xbox?
You can buy a External HDD for old gen games and use the SSD of the Xbox to play new gen games
Its an amazing console so glad I purchased it!!!!
I love the fact it gives u the ssd option totally worth it.
Better than all xbox one's that's for sure
damn this music at the beginning was crazy im trynna watch a video not bust a move
🤣🤣🤣🤣

Assassin’s Creed Odyssey
Me: sammmmmeee
I’m definitely getting that my old Xbox one from 2015 has to update like everyday and it takes half an hour.
"If we didn't want to use this [app], then what else can we do..." - My thoughts exactly when setting this up. Thankfully you can set up right thru the console itself. Damn apps!
Is forza horizon 4 free to play on xbox series s?
@@FWTharrisOnly if you have Gamepass
I have a ps5 and series S and i gotta say, the smoothness of the ps5 is a lot better but its almost not noticeable if you dont have ps5 or series X. The S takes almost no desk space, quiet, and more customizable than the ps5 at the moment too. Def worth the buy.
You think it's worth it for next gen gaming ? I want to play next gen but I don't wanna have to spend $500+ for a console
i dont like how all of these reviews are saying the Series S is for casual player and average gamers etc do you think everyone has 500 laying around for a console bro its what we can afford
Its not even just 500 its most likely going to go up to 800 with extra controllers, games, gold/ gamepass
@@user-fz7rb8jp5c I already have and xbox one s with digital games games past etc so it's only 500 for me
The X is about 700€ in my country
I personally would get 144 hz monitors over 4k-8k TVs cuz I care more about performance so it can still play 1080p HDR and most importantly 120 fps which is a huge plus for games like Fortnite, Halo Infinite and stuff like that
I have a 180hz monitor
Still my favorite XBOX even after acquiring a Series X
are the graphics close to the series x graphics? thinking of which one to get
What's the name of this TV?
The Xbox One S is available in 500 GB, 1 TB, and a "special edition" 2 TB model, which originally retailed at US$299, $349, and $399 respectively. The 2 TB model was released on August 2, 2016, and 1 TB and 500 GB models were released on August 23, 2016.
He did an amazing job with this review 👏
I’m subbing because I appreciate the presentation and cool intro music 🎶
I just brought one simply as I have all my games on store so the disc drive isn't a issue and also if it plays next generation games I'm happy with that for the money and what it performs it's a great console
@@Rngsteeper 🤦♂️
@@Rngsteeper yh as I stated if u read it properly
@@Rngsteeper so the disc drive isn't a issue as I have my games on store learn to read
I'm going to be getting the Series S between November 8th and 18th. I can't wait.

I'm so glad that I did bought it 2 months ago and I'm enjoying every moment of it so far. No doubt, it was the best money spent and to be perfectly honest, I'm glad I don't have to go out and buy a physical copy of a game.
The Series X and PS5 are so hard to find im considering a Series S just to have access to the next gen titles coming out. Game Pass more than makes up for the lack of a disc drive, and for the price it looks amazing
Great info for a first time gamer. Thank you!
If you're a first time gamer, then you'd love the Series S.
Thanks bro u show each detail 🥺 appreciate that and the good news is Im gonna get this Xbox for summer 🤫 so exited!!!!!
Is forza horizon 4 free to play on xbox series s?
@@FWTharris yes I think so
Excited*
I really like it. I got it just about a week ago and it’s really cool. The games are awesome with game pass
Do you pay for the games?
In my opinion, I don’t do console war but, I think Xbox has the win, it’s just perfect. 💪🏻
The console is good when you know 50% of it is a fan 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
lol
3:58 did you expect a metal controller, or a wooden one?
probably just a different design, prolly like the ps5
@@cristianexe2565 i doubt xbox will ever change the design of their controllers
Is forza horizon 4 free to play on xbox series s?
@@FWTharris yes if you have game pass
This console looks so good. Like sure the series x is cool to. But the whole white and black thing with the controller as well is so nice
13:40 is it just me or is the series S fan insanely loud at this time , and he's only had it unboxed for 10 minutes
He probably had it on for a few hours(remember he downloaded some games and I'm pretty sure forza horizon 4 can't download in 10 minutes?) I also got the series s and the fan only ramps up around 2 to 3 hours of heavy use or graphically intensive applications!
I have an Xbox one s and had to buy this as I was getting fed up of games that weren’t compatible with the concole I can’t wait to get it later 😊😊
Im upgrading from a ps3 to this…cant wait!
How long did it take forza to download fully? Lovin the content
It depends on the Internet speed
@@LxvSoraOfficial how long on yours?? Just want to get a feel for the real power of these consoles.....
@@govindmohandas118 lmao, i wrote it accidentally in spanish
I have 1.2mbps so it would take like 8-12 Hours for me
@@govindmohandas118 It’s due to internet speed. Might be slightly faster than the One X
@@govindmohandas118 download speed has nothing to do with the console. It’s up to your internet service provider
good video 👍🏼 thanks for showing the whole setup and interface
when you dont have high expectations than you are amazed, maybe the best xbox ever!??i was totlly amazed and didnt expect this kond of performance.
So if I have a normal Xbox and I’ve downloaded games on there from the store and I sign on the Xbox s do my games go on there apart from the disk games?
Yes. Digital stuff on ur account shows up you just redownload.
I've read some comments around the interwebs about the series S and how people aren't unhappy with their decision, which makes me feel better. I have been a Playstation fan since the PS1. But I am NOT going to wait another year or MORE, to get my hands on a next gen console, so I picked up the Series S today at Walfart. As long as this thing updates sometime today then I'll be good to go.
As a member of the PlayStation community, this is a very good console especially for its price
8:50 , yes Xbox One controllers get firmware updates too.
Only 1 update though.
Hmm the games didnt worked with quick resume because yo chose the save energy mode.
Energy mode has nothing to do with Quick Resume. The real problem is that there are some bugs in some games that support Quick Resume so Xbox decided to temporary disable Quick Resume in order to fix those problems
@@jorgepreciado2080 Sorry didn't knew. :-(
I actually bought one a few weeks ago, the quick resume actually works amazing.
@Oh mr try hard fornite does
Xbox series x: mini fridge
Ps5: WiFi router
Xbox series s: box of donuts
Xbox Series S: Speaker
@@aha7509 google stadia: *nothing*
Bruh, mine is out for delivery. Can’t wait for it to get here, I’m so excited.
Already waiting for this console to arrive. Nice vid. Subscribed
Even with the Series X it depends on storage too because the disc just installs the game much faster onto the ssd, but it being 300Gb available on series s, that’s like 3-4 games and ur out of storage.
But a lot of people don't play 10+ games most play like 4-5 regularly
Fr The games I would Play Is Cod Fortnite Jump force 2k and Watch dogs All on the series S
@@urstrulyjayyy not enough storage for that lol
I’ll add the seagate Thing
@@urstrulyjayyy instead of buying the series S at 300$ and the 1TB at 220$ just buy the series X at 500$
Great introduction. Love the music. More cow bell!!!!!
Very informative video❤️⚡🔥
I like how you can still put batteries in
