Great device, very good gaming console

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. Negatives 1. 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. EDIT: October '24 UPDATED the negatives on one year milestone.

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.
