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 kids
Xbox 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 console
Series S is the white smaller console
The 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 have
6 Xbox series X/S optimized games installed, 9 Xbox one games installed,
3 Xbox 360 games installed
1 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!

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, PC wins hands down.
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, it is cheaper than therapy and light-years ahead in value. Good luck finding a PC on sale that can compete at the gaming performance and experience.
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, it’s like your game never heard of the concept of shutdowns. It’s the magical pause button for reality, minus the messy consequences.
3. **Pixel, Please! (or Not):**
Series S delivers Native 4K gaming, 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 it still tastes like victory. Cinematic experiences galore, even if the hairs look like pixelated spaghetti up close. But hey, who needs hairbrushes in the Wild West?
**Negative Aspects:**
1. **Storage: 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. A few AAA games later, and you’re playing a digital version of Tetris with your storage. The struggle is real, but it’s just a minor inconvenience, like having to choose between sneakers or canvas for the day.
2. **Card Shock Therapy:**
Expansion Cards may cost a kidney, but Quick Resume is the VIP ticket to gaming nirvana. Sure, they’re pricey, but isn’t that the cost of luxury? These cards are the designer handbags of the gaming world – nice to have, but not a must.
3. **Disc-less Dilemma:**
GameStop’s pre-owned game hunt feels like a treasure hunt; Xbox Store discounts are more like rare Pokémon sightings. Yes, digital is convenient. What’s more convenient is the ultra cheap games you get at GameStop for pre-owned disc games.
**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!

It works well
It works perfectly the controller that comes with it works smoothly and the consul is easy to set up

Es una muy buena consola, la llevo jugando hace una semana y todo va bien. La consola me llegó un día antes y en perfecto estado. El único detalle es que si quieres jugar a 120 fps necesitas tener una pantalla o monitor que sea compatible, de lo contrario estarías jugando a 60 fps (en mi caso).

It seemed impossible to find and buy these consoles for over a year until I got a notification that they were available for purchase on Amazon for the exact same price as the Microsoft store.
I bought this before cloud gaming was good. Now that the Xbox team worked hard on perfecting cloud gaming, it’s only gotten better. I am just a Gold member, but my room mate has Game Pass. I have daily played games downloaded directly to the drive, and most other games are available on cloud (though I do download them and them delete them from the drive or move them to my other drive that is not SSD).
I don’t have a new TV (in fact I still have a ‘dumb’ TV) and it’s only capable of so much despite it being 4k UHD capable, games play flawlessly. One of my main games is OW and the new OW2. I have it set to have balance between performance and quality on both games and they both play without any issues and barely any latencies (thanks quality internet!).
If you get the S series and have Game Pass you will not be disappointed. If you’re looking for a bigger hard drive Get the Series X or buy a compatible SSD drive.
This console is more than capable for playing everyday. I use it for everything, from playing games to listening to Spotify to watching my favorite series and shows on all the apps in 4k UHD. Never had any issues with the console what so ever.
Also very easy to set up with any home systems you have. I use Google Home and can easily use voice commands to turn it on/off and load up any app or game.
My ONLY issue are with the controllers. The new Series S/X controllers are great out of the box, but after 9-12 months of use they go bunk. If you use a wired head set expect it to stop working/start echoing/come in and out within the year. The bumpers don’t last long either. I never throw it around and I keep it clean, and despite the up keep I still have issues. Good thing they go on sale often. I will never pay full price for the controllers because they just don’t last in my experience.

Que increíble consola, ln es de lo mejor, llegó sellada todo nuevo, que hermoso
