   Next Gen Console a love letter to the customers
   To be clear Xbox Series S is next gen! it can game in 4K & play games at 120 FPS !!For parents to help out if buying for kidsXbox one S is previous gen! Note it says Xbox “one” S. Some previous gen Xbox consoles have “one” in the name. It’s Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox One, now Xbox Series X/S.The newest generation of Xbox consoles all have “Series” X or S in the name.Series X is the black bigger consoleSeries S is the white smaller consoleThe Xbox Series S…. It’s small, takes up little space and is powerful. The Series S can out preform the Series X in some departments like keeping 60 frames per second during challenging experiences for the console to run. The Series X wins in little things like draw distances and seeing a slightly better resolution, but at times could drop the frame rate. But they are pretty much the same next gen experience just two options for customers. What’s the biggest difference?Microsoft made a way for players not to miss out on next gen experience due to not being able to afford it! If you want next gen and also to save some money the Series S was made for you!! But if you want the full experience the Series X was made for you!! Series X wins for storage but Series S can allow 20 or more decent sized games plus don’t forget you can use cloud gaming for a lot of games you don’t want to download.Game pass cloud feature you can play games within seconds not having to download / install anything.I’ve tested the Series X and Series S and it’s barley a difference. I’m able to pick up and resume my save data from Series X to Series S no problem. Gears of war 5 or WWE 2k22 for example are just about the same on both.Series X – more storage, physical games CAN be played. Slightly better resolution. Loading time differences are to be within seconds nothing wild to report.Series S – Digital only! Meaning no physical games can be played. WiFi is required to set up and download games. Once it’s fully updated and games are downloaded it can be used offline but WiFi is needed to first set up the console and download games!!Series S should not be put down or downplayed, more information should be out there to help customers know this is truly next gen. The Series S is easier to find and it’s nothing wrong with it.Example of storage. Series S. Currently have6 Xbox series X/S optimized games installed, 9 Xbox one games installed,3 Xbox 360 games installed1 Xbox (original console) game installed.Still have 52 GB free !!Downloading my library from Xbox one (previous generation Xbox) to Series S was super easy via the Xbox app. (Available on Google play android and iOS App Store) Much easier than Sony PlayStation has been. Xbox wants you to keep your library and keeps giving added backwards compatibility! I’m so happy with my Series S and don’t even care about the Series X anymore. It’s the same thing to me with little differences that aren’t worth the price difference. And not to every gamer it will be worth the price difference. The loading and quick resume give new life into last gen games that had long loading times ! Something like UFC 4 gets a lovely FPS boost along with Far Cry 5 and many others. Games you’ve already paid for are upgraded and new games will slowly unlock the true power of your purchase. You won’t be needing to trade the Series S in for an upgrade because it will be able to run the new titles and keep up just fine!It’s even small enough for different delivery options ! I got my Xbox delivered to a local stores locker ! It was super light to carry and didn’t come in a box revealing what’s inside thankfully.If you deeply care about 4 to 5 extra bushes and a pinch more draw distance that doesn’t make a difference to the degree that you wouldn’t be able to react. Like a driving game you’ll be able to have the same experience on both consoles same game just the series x might have slightly more available to see in the distance. If storage is that important to y’all or resolution go with the X. But if you want next gen and don’t need the extra storage, don’t care about physical games, and want to save money go with the Series S.Don’t miss out on next gen waiting out for the normal priced Series X if the S is available.This review is to help others understand the difference between the many names of Xbox consoles and see if the Series S is the best option. If not some information about the Xbox Series X is in my review to help to decide. Also to help parents out to make the right purchase for a potential surprise gift!Reviews are always designed to help out others and I hope it has been clear to help out others!!!

   First time console buyer – Astonished!
   I always used to camp on the PC Master Race side and rightfully so. For those who want to squeeze the last polygon detail out of their games, of course the PC wins hands down.This was until I decided to dip my feet into the console world and I now understand why it is so popular. Here is my top 3 reason Xbox Series S is such an awesome console:Positives:1. Priceless Laughs – Literally:Scored the box at $240 (sans 3-month Game Pass). Even at $300, this box is cheaper than therapy and light-years ahead in value. Good luck finding a PC on sale that can compete at the gaming experience and performance.2. Quick Resume – Console Version of Time Travel:Microsoft’s Quick Resume feature is the real-life cheat code. Turn off the console, unplug it, do a cartwheel if you feel like it – and when you’re ready to play again, resume from right where you left it! It’s like your game never heard of the concept of shutdowns! Now only if they made a real-life version of this…3. Pixel, Please! (or Not):Series S delivers Native 4K gaming for a lot of games, and for those who debate pixels like it’s a philosophical dilemma, fear not! Even upscaled frames are like a culinary masterpiece – you won’t notice if the chef used a different spice, and the dish still tastes like victory. Cinematic experiences galore, even though the hairs look like pixelated spaghetti up close.Negatives1. Storage: ‘S’ stands for Sibling Rivalry Edition:The Series S’s 512GB storage is like having a cool older sibling with a tiny room – it’s great until you realize there’s no space left for your stuff. 2-3 AAA games later, and you’re playing a digital version of Tetris with your storage. One year in, the struggle is definitely real.2. Card Shock Therapy:The expansion cards are ridiculously expensive, and to make matters worse, SSD prices have skyrocketed since last year. These cards are more of a necessity than a luxury if you want to fully enjoy the Quick Resume feature, but the cost feels unjustified. It’s not about splurging on a premium extra; it’s more like being forced to pay for a basic feature that should have been more affordable. It’s a frustrating roadblock that makes the Series S’s storage limitations even more glaring.3. Disc-less Dilemma:Hunting for pre-owned games at GameStop used to feel like a treasure hunt – you could snag great titles for a fraction of the price. But with the Xbox Series S being all-digital, that thrill is gone. Instead, you’re left relying on Game Pass or a limited selection of games, with Xbox Store discounts about as rare as spotting a unicorn. Sure, digital is convenient, but nothing beats the ultra-cheap deals you could find on physical discs. Now, you’re either waiting for an elusive sale or paying full price for digital games, which takes a lot of the fun (and savings) out of gaming.~~General Experience:~~The Xbox Series S is like a buffet – some choices are not as appealing, but you still leave with a full belly and a smile. It’s the imperfect hero we need, not the one we deserve, and that’s okay.Keeping mine for sure!EDIT: October ’24UPDATED the negatives on one year milestone.

   Trust me, get Amazon Prime. My review is about shipping.
   I ordered my Xbox S yesterday and it arrived today in pristine condition. I am honestly blown away by how quickly it arrived but also, how quickly I was able to get tracking information. Well done Amazon! Hats off to your shipping department. They’re just the best! Get Amazon Prime. It is an absolute game changer. Worth every single penny.

   The Xbox Series S is the second Microsoft console I own since the 360. It comes with a 512-gigabyte hard drive and a wireless controller. Although there is no CD drive, the console is all-digital and allows multiple users to download and play their purchased games from the Windows Store. The only drawback is that if you want more storage space, you may have to buy an external hard drive. I recommend the Seagate brand with the Xbox logo on it.The resolution is set at 1440p and you still get decent quality. You may not notice much graphical difference on the other version, the Series X. Best of all, you can play the Xbox Series S on your computer monitor if you own the “Elgato HD60s+,” the game capture device, if desired. From my own experience, I don’t need an expensive television to get the best graphics, so I play it right from my I-Mac 2019 with the retina display monitor.If you are looking for a budget console and just want to play your games casually or with a game pass, then the Series S is right for you. With a sleek design look, the system is lightweight, small, and very easy to carry if you are going on a trip. Perfect for both new and hardcore gamers for this generation.
