    Now that newer games are forcing us users to buy the newer consoles , which is pretty crappy of Microsoft, I do think that settling for the S over the X was a decent deal, even though its $200 cheaper than the X, it still looks way better than my old xbox one x

    The series S is sleek and compact. The SSD delivers fast load times and the hardware itself provides improved frame rate over previous generation. The only gripe is you can't use the full 512 GB of memory and does not upscale image to 4K.

    Only con: Call of Duty takes up most of the GB space. I only have enough space for that game and 2K21. You will have to buy the 1TB device.
