@@Bayazid_Bustami Depends what you're after. If you really want to play the Playsation exclusives, and play in full 4K 120fps I would hold out for the PS5. If you are after a budget friendly option, prefer the Xbox exclusives and don't mind playing upscaled 4K then go for the Series S. Just be aware of the storage capacity of the Series S. Hope this helps.
As a poor gamer who can even barely afford a ps4 last gen... Series S is heaven sent for me. Can't believe I'm now playing latest gen titles with gamepass for cheap
Same here. I love the Series S. I've had it almost since it came out, and I haven't had any issues with it. Game Pass is amazing, too. I also love how easy it is to travel with because of the size.
I've just grabbed one a couple of weeks ago now and I'm absolutely thrilled with it, it's great value for money and doesn't feel like a compromise at all either - still really powerful. I have a high refresh rate monitor and games running at 120fps truly feels next gen. No regrets.
Am honestly contemplating on getting one just to play older games and some of the few Xbox exclusives that interest me like Halo and Sea of Thieves. I mainly play all games that are multi platform on my PS5 and the Series S would make a great combo to go along with it to play those older games that I can’t play on my PS5.
I was in the exact same position and definitely have no regrets. I even find that I’m playing the series S more than the PS5 at the moment just because of the selection of games on Game Pass.
Don't forget Microsoft sells an Expansion Drive of 512GB as well on their website. It was a cheaper way to get the fast storage for my Series S and holds all the games I want when I want to travel with it. I also have the Series X but I am really impressed with the S. Putting it on a 43" 1080p TV it looks really good. It doesn't scale great on a 4K screen and you can really tell the power difference between it and the X in the resolution department but on the 1080p display it's hardly noticeable and looks great. I have a One X around as well and the S is even an improvement over that as well. Things just play smoother with higher frame rates. The One X has better image quality in certain games but I'm not sure it's worth it as a trade off for the quality of life improvements of the Series S.
I think the issue with the expansion drive for a lot of people, is the cost, which is almost as much as the Series S itself. However, I do agree if you have the budget it's a great solution and gives you the fastest storage option. The Series S is great for anyone looking to get into next-gen gaming on a budget, there are going to be compromises when comparing it to the Series X but it's to be expected with paying half the price. I think the cost to value it's very hard to beat at the moment. Thanks for the comment!
@@SemplistYT The 512GB drive being just less than half the cost of the Series S at $140.00 is the limit I was willing to spend and Microsoft really needs to let more drive manufacturers create options. Competition will lower the prices and help everyone.
Man i stalked your channel , i prefer your take on these videos ,minimal and somewhat dark , no goffyness no rbg sh*t. Love it man ! You just earned a sub
Thanks for the comment. This video was intended as a first impressions and aimed to cover what would hopefully help someone make a purchase decision. Whilst all the things you mentioned are relevant, I wouldn't say they make it a must buy but are in fact nice additions. Thanks again!
Great review man! I’ve got this console still in the box. Bought it for my office to go along with my gaming pc, just seeing if I’ll actually utilize it. I’ve also got my series x in the entertainment room with the 75” LG Nano that supports all features the series x needs and it blows my mind.
Been 2 months since i bought a series s , and i will say that this console is really something. I've played forza 5 , lies of p and hitman in quality modes on my 1440p monitor and the device didn't disappoint.
Great video my friend, honestly I was planning to buy the Series X for more power and the usability of the dick drive, but now and after watching so many positive reviews from other videos about the series s, I'm starting to feel like I really want the series s more and now, keep up the good work 👍
I have a Series S and I love the thing. I enjoy games like Batman, GTA, Resident Evil, The Sims, Call of Duty, Forza, all good games. 🎉 My Series S runs like a champ and gas made me a happy gamer.
Would you recommend raising the sharpness of the TV? Because I have the LG C1 and I know purists recommend setting the sharpness to 0 but I guess the Series S would benefit from the increased sharpness what do you think?
Being honest, I've never altered the factory settings of the different modes. - just because I've always thought the picture quality looks amazing. However, I may give the 0 sharpness a go! Thanks for the comment.
That is very true, a 1TB model would alleviate a lot of the concerns that come up when deciding wether to purchase the Series S. I wonder if this will be a later release, maybe a special edition Series S with 1TB 🤔
@@SemplistYT I don't think it will be a special edition. I think they will eventually come out with a 1 TB model as a standard console. But you maybe right they might do a special edition first to see if the interest is really there.
It will completely bring down sales of series C, I bought the X considering the extra storage and future proofing, there was no other reason to get a series X as S performs similarly atm
Great review! Waiting for my console thats supposed to deliver tomorrow. A question for you: For countries where the series S is overpriced and where cloud gaming might not be available right now (India), how does it affect the value of the Series S?
I am from India and I can say that it does not affect. I have owned a XSS for more than 1 year now. Marginal high price is just a short term inconvience as a console is a long term investment. After few months you stop thinking about it. The value of Game Pass just offsets it.
I agree with the above comment. If I was to pay slightly more and takeaway cloud gaming I would still be really happy with the value that I get from the Series S. You are effectively getting next gen capabilities for half of the price (even if you are paying slightly more). That along with Game Pass, you can't go wrong at all.
Just watched a comparison video, series s vs series x, for MW2. You can only see any noticeable difference when it was zoomed in! Safe to say the series s is a little beast for its crazy low price.
everyone brings up game pass as a reason to own a series s. frankly thats a generic thing to say when that can literally be said for the series x and even the pc.
True but I think the main point is that you get Game Pass bundled in a £249 console that handles 1440p. With the Series X and even a budget gaming PC you're talking double the price.
I have a series S and got a PS5 for my birthday, I have come into so many problems with the PS5 so I'ma trade it in for a series X then I'll have a 360, Xbox one, series S and X all I need is the original 👍
Also good to consider the amazing emulation AND options to plug in a mouse and keyboard; many people use this as a budget PC. Xbox games are naff tho, would prefer to save more and have the switch...
100% great comment. The Series S definitely has multiple uses and just makes the value of the console so much more. And yeah games wise I think it depends on type of games you prefer to play.
I just went ahead and bought the series X. Now i should be set for a good 5-7 years and have plenty of memory to work with. Love the series X so far. That 365gb on the S is just way too low for me.
100%, having no disc drive leaves you at the mercy of the Microsoft store if you want to purchase games. Luckily, Gamepass currently saves you a little bit in that area, except for new release cross platform titles.
I'm thinking of picking up a used one for my room,. idk if ill struggle trying to factory reset it if the previous owner leaves the accounts (hopefully not) would you say this is better than the previous Xbox one s? I only play one game really and use streaming apps but the extra storage of the previous Xbox wouldn't be bad, I just don't know what the improvements are performance wise. great video earned a sub
Unfortunately I never had chance to play the One S, the last Xbox I played was the 360. I think performance wise you are 100% going see a difference with the next gen spec, especially if you planning on playing in upscaled 4K. However, if you do tend to only play one game, you’ve got to ask yourself is spending that money going to give you any real benefit other than slightly better graphics. As for storage, it is a bit of an issue and I agree, the One S capacity would have been much better. Thank you mate, I appreciate the comment!
Great video review! I really like my series S, it plays amazingly. By the way I also have a 4k120 tv what video resolution do you play with? 4k UHD or 1440p? Thank you 👍🏻
Thanks mate - appreciate it! Great to hear, I still can't believe the value you get for the price of the console, still really surpirsed by it. I play using the 4K UHD setting 👍
@@SemplistYT yeah I have that feeling also, it was the best 300€ spent. And it's my first Xbox I came from the other side 😆. And I love also it's minimalist design, the prettiest of this generation!
there is no 3.5mm jack on console, only on gamepad? so if you use mouse and keyboard, you still have to plug the headset to gamepad right? ... also will any wireless headset work with it or only original microsoft ones ?
Yes, that is correct. You would still need to plug your headset into the controller whilst using the keyboard and mouse. And yes most wireless headsets will work, especailly the newer ones. Always best to check beofre buying though. Hope this helps.
My biggest fear is that in a few years, as game engines are getting more and more advanced, the upcoming games will lag a lot on the current Xbox Series S. I'll wait for a few years till they bring in a more advanced Series S (Series S S maybe? Series S X? X S?).
Yeah I know what you mean, although I can't see game developers not adapting their titles to the Series S in it's current state, just with the amount of market share it has. I do agree though it will be interesting to see if Microsoft make a mid tier Series S in the future. Thanks for the comment!
I Will buy Xbox series S because it's so hard to find and buy Playstation 5 anywhere, xbox's gamepass IS The best videogamedeal ever and The console's Price IS good and now its Sale here in Europe, its now 289€, normally its 299€ But now its Sale and now its good CHANGE to buy IT. 🔥🔥
The Xbox controller sucks in my OPINION. It's too Clicky which gets obnoxious. I don't find it too comfy in my opinion. It has nothing too besides a few new buttons.
I dont care about 4k at all, i dont have money for PC so i buyed the SS for my FHD Monitor and its enough xD the only thing i hate is that older games wich are not optimised run the Xbox One S version and look very bad.
I haven't had chance to test many of them out, I'm not sure if it's because they are trying to upscale or it's just how they were but one I will definitly look into. Thanks for the comment mate.
You will have to sign in every 30 days I believe to confirm you have an active subscription. However, you can play games offline that are downloaded to the console within those 30 days. Hope this helps.
It depends on your budget, but I would say go for the Series S if you can. You are getting access to next gen gaming at a reasonable price. Game pass is also a game changer.
Thanks mate, appreciate the comment! Tough one, I think it will come down to which games you prefer; Nintendo exclusives or Xbox exclusives, plus the obvious one, how much you intend on playing outside of the house.
One thing to consider. With the Switch your going to pay premium prices for games. Most Nintendo games stay at their original price for years not months. Where as Xbox and Playstation games are frequently discounted. Just one factor to consider.
That is an issue for people who still prefer physical media. The shift is definitly going cloud based with streaming so it'll be interesting to see if the disc drive dissappears altogether eventually.
Wow that's quite expensive, I'm assuming the Series X and the PS5 are also quite high so I would definitely still say there is value if it's affordable.
Too much money to game this generation you gotta have a 1000 dollar t.v a 600 dollar console and a exterernal storage device series s is a great in between
Definitly agree you get more out of the PS5 and Xbox Series X. However, for someone on a budget you can't beat the value of the Series S. In reality the only things you are missing are true 4K and increased storage capacity. You could say disc drive but some people buy the digital version of the PS5. Thanks for the comment!
I know PS5 is better than Series S because the exclusives attract me. But as a full-time student, Series S is more than enough for me now although I hate Xbox service (including Game Pass). A lot of new games are not on Game Pass but if I don't subscribe to Live Gold or Game Pass Ultimate, I cannot play some games online.
Thank you for your ongoing support on the channel! Will you be picking up the Series S in 2022?
Plzz suggest me I am in a budget is series s good for me?

Where as Xbox and Playstation games are frequently discounted. Just one
factor to consider.
@@GregHakes i totally agree Greg, great point.
Just think the NEXT next gen console will be 4k standard let's say the S and the X will be 8k
Definitly, it will be crazy what the next release of consoles have to offer.
Will he reply? And if so how is your day
I always do! And great thanks, how is yours?
@@SemplistYT I’m doing good 👍
Have you ever played nba2k on it?
No I haven't had the chance!
Thank you
You're welcome, thanks for the comment!
@@SemplistYT I just got one yesterday it’s amazing! I haven’t upgraded in 17 years (Xbox One)!
I made sure I bought one so tht I can play and buy next gen games .
Great choice, hope you're enjoying it!
No optical drive means I will never buy one, wtf am I supposed to do with all my blu ray movies and dvds?
That is an issue for people who still prefer physical media. The shift is definitly going cloud based with streaming so it'll be interesting to see if the disc drive dissappears altogether eventually.
Add an external usb DVD player
Ordered one a few days ago on sale for 240 at Walmart 🤓
Good video.
Thanks mate, appreciate the comment.
Why is no one talking about this The controller vibrates??
Definitly needs attention!
Don't tell me what I need or not
nice :D
Thanks!
I love my Xbox series s
Such a great console!
It's the best device but here in India its 375$..
Wow that's quite expensive, I'm assuming the Series X and the PS5 are also quite high so I would definitely still say there is value if it's affordable.
Nah.
Wouldn't knock it until you try it, but if you have then fair play - it's not for everyone!
Too much money to game this generation you gotta have a 1000 dollar t.v a 600 dollar console and a exterernal storage device series s is a great in between
100% you really have to invest to get the best out of the higher priced next gen consoles, whereas I feel the Series S is a nice sweet spot.
Don't play series s on a 4k TV peace
Interesting take, why do you say so?
So worth it
The Series S also has Microsoft Edge which the PS5 does not have. :P
No thanks pass looks cool but not interested in Xbox
I thought the same before I bought it, but the Series S has definitely changed my mind.
The Xbox is dead
Why do you think that?
series s is just junk not more dont buy it buy xbox series x or ps5. Ps5 is better then xbox series s
Definitly agree you get more out of the PS5 and Xbox Series X. However, for someone on a budget you can't beat the value of the Series S. In reality the only things you are missing are true 4K and increased storage capacity. You could say disc drive but some people buy the digital version of the PS5. Thanks for the comment!
@@SemplistYT I agree I’m loving Xbox more than PlayStation now
It's not junk LMAO it's literally the number one selling console out there 😂
I'm the same mate, Game Pass is unreal!
I know PS5 is better than Series S because the exclusives attract me. But as a full-time student, Series S is more than enough for me now although I hate Xbox service (including Game Pass). A lot of new games are not on Game Pass but if I don't subscribe to Live Gold or Game Pass Ultimate, I cannot play some games online.
