Collectors will miss the physical discs, the lack of 4K gaming may be off-putting for graphics purists, four teraflops of processing power could seem paltry next to the 12 offered by the Series X, but for anyone else, I’d recommend it any day. More hardcore gamers might disagree with my assessment here. Basically, I can pick up my Xbox controller and do just about anything. ![]() I could even watch in 8K, if I had a TV capable of displaying that many pixels. And the included Edge browser is full-featured, too - I’ve yet to find a video it isn’t compatible with. Just about every streaming site you can think of has created an Xbox app (even Bravo has one - Real Housewives fans rejoice), and most of them work seamlessly. I’ve come to love my Series S so much it’s even become my default entertainment center. I have to put my face up against it to even know the fan is running. And the Series S does it all without even making a sound. I can’t even say that about my $1,200 MacBook Pro. I can switch back and forth between apps and games without any fear of crashing the whole ordeal. I have yet to witness a game struggle on the Series S. It’s one thing to read about how it keeps pace with the Series X in so many regards it’s another entirely to experience it first-hand. What’s really endeared me to this little white console is its immense performance capacity. The Series S even has all the same ports as the Series X. Smart Delivery, variable rate shading, raytracing, spatial sound, 120 FPS gaming - your new Xbox will include these, no matter which you choose. This is one of Xbox’s biggest selling points in its current generation of consoles: that its groundbreaking gaming innovations are available no matter if you choose black or white. The Series S and the Series X are similar in a myriad of ways. No, I fell hard for the Series S in all its supposed shortcomings. Now, just about a year later, I can say honestly that I haven’t thought about selling my little white console in many months. I could always sell it later and upgrade, right? When I miraculously watched a Series S appear in-stock on a lesser-known electronics site, I made the snap decision to buy it. That $200 price difference was enough to make me seriously contemplate going for the little sibling despite my misgivings. It would blend into its surroundings too well, with its smaller physical footprint and understated white design.īut it was also $299. ![]() It wouldn’t allow me to buy physical discs at all. The Series S, I worried, wouldn’t have enough storage for all the games I planned to speed through. Then I checked my bank account and changed my plans. Everything about the more expensive console, from its aesthetics to its processing power, screamed ultra-modern. I wanted the tall, matte black Series X, when Xbox first announced its next-gen gaming consoles.
