    I’m loving my new gaming setup. Definitely a step up from the og Xbox One with the right monitor. For me Xbox has the better approach to next gen consoles over PlayStation. The series X targets 4K at 30-60 FPS and the series S targets 1440p at 60-120 FPS. If you do decide to go with a series S then be prepared to have at least a 1440p 120hz monitor or you won’t see any better performance over the current generation of console

    The Series S is the perfect console for next gen gaming. One of the biggest bonuses to this decision is mobility. The series S is small enough that it fits perfectly into a backpack. Mix that with any half decent portable monitor and you have a console that can be set up at home on a big screen or brought to the office for break room play, of course that depends wholly on the job you have and I can’t recommend shirking work duties for elden ring.

    The series s is a good side choice if you can't afford the series x. I've had good experiences with the console in the past, using it for long hours without it slowing down or anything, i even accidentally dropped it a few times and i would've thought i'd have to go and get it fixed but no problems happened after. The only major problem i had with the series s was the space capacity, after a few games i had to delete some to make space which gets frustrating but you just have to buy extra storage no real way around it which is fine. Still a great console nonetheless.

    Great X Box for first time gamers. Purchased for my 6 year old nephew and he loves it. Great graphics and easy to use. Purchased this since it was a little cheaper than the Series X however do see some differences in quality but for a young child it is great!
