Reply to comment by Anubra_Khan in XBOX Series S, is it worth it in 2023? by sebspi

I've Ps Plus Extra on my Ps5 and some months ago I tried the Game Pass with the PC. I loved it. My feeling is that it's much better than the PS Plus.
But I was not comfortable with my PC for different reasons.
So the idea of a Series S.

Most games from that era still have their servers running. A lot will not be shut down due to being on a third party. Only big one I can think of that would be an issue right now is Ubisoft games.

Both pretty much exactly the same console but with different controllers. Get a ps4 mate much better than both the 360 and ps 3and you can pick one up now for buttons from eBay or Amazon £80

I have a PS5 with PS Plus Premium and a gaming PC with Game Pass. Both played on my TV like consoles.

I have no need for any type of Xbox. I recommend you just get game pass PC. It's $60 cheaper than the Xbox Game Pass anyway.

But, if you want to try something new or have issues with your PC, the Series S is cheap enough to tide you over for a couple of years as long as you don't buy the memory expansion or too many digital games (specifically ones that would be significantly cheaper used).

If you just want a cheap Game Pass machine, you can find a used Xbox One for under $100 easy. The only games you'd miss out on would be Flight Simulator, Scorn (a walking simulator) and Gotham Knitghts (which you could get on PS5). Every other game can be played on an Xbox One, albeit at lower quality.

As I think this through for you, there's no shortage of Series X or S. You can try out the Game Pass on your current PC for like $1 I think. If you don't like it, you can cancel. There are no release dates for games like Starfield or Elder Scrolls 6 that will (presumably) be your 1st true current gen Xbox games. If you like the Game Pass on your current PC, you can wait until these games (or any other games you are interested in) have firm release dates. By then, you might be closer to getting your gaming rig or even picking up a cheaper Series X/S. The prices of these consoles will either stay the same or go down.

It depends on the game you want to play. Popular games should be available on both systems. Both systems can be bought dirt cheap through the Facebook market. Please note that some older systems may have issues, e.g, fan noise, missing slots, worn-out lasers, etc.

Also, there has know to be systems that have been bought with allsorts of insects/bugs in them. E.g cockroaches.

Both systems are fantastic. The only gripe I had with the PS3 is when you need to factory rest the systems.

Good luck. I hope you find what you want.

Series s is good. But only thing is storage. (300mb useable) and if you go for an expansion for the storage. Your £70 off a series x because its so so expensive. So personally I'd say if you can afford it go series x. But if its only for ~3 games then series s is good.

Trust me, I'm too 😂 Still I would go for both, however if you have to choose, check out what games you're in. It would be easier to.me to.be addicted to one company, but I try to collect all of them
