Games And More
Nice, personal type of device. Compact, portable, works very well. I appreciate its ease of use and online social gaming aspect. I also like I can download media streaming apps and control them directly from the Xbox. Everything from Netflix to YouTube flows very nicely, and looks great thanks to the hardware used for the system. I use it connected to a monitor along with an old laptop that cannot run games, period. And its a perfect complement for such a set up. As said, it feels personal, as its not used as a living room device or shared. Its MY little Xbox. No gaming PC? No 4K TV or monitor? No problem. The Series S has you covered concerning all else up to 1440p. Its "plug and play" with what you may already have, and plays every single game out now, while being backward compatible. Perfect. If concerned about storage space you may not have to be depending on what you play and the version of Series S you choose. The 512gb model will get you 364gb user available space, and the 1tb version will get you 800gb of user available space. Depending on who you are, neither version may offer enough room. But adding storage is simple, and for many titles can be done inexpensively. For instance I have Alan Wake 2, Resident Evil 2, and Metro Exodus on its internal storage. Thats around 200gb worth of games. Those can only run off the internal storage, or one of the somewhat costly "officially licensed" Series S storage expansion cards. But I run Red Dead Redemption 2 and Fallout 76 off an inexpensive external USB 3.0 SSD. Both are over 100gb games each. I also have Dying Light, Far Cry 4 and Far Cry 5, Metro 2033, Metro Last Light, and the original Modern Warfare 2 on the same drive. And they load and play perfectly from it. A drive I had sitting around in a drawer unused from last year. Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and even some games designated "Optimized for Series X/S" like FC 4 & 5 will in fact run off regular USB SSD expansion storage. It all depends to what extent they've been "optimized." And any games such as the aforementioned NOT designated with such a label? Those will all run seamlessly from a standard 3.0 USB drive plugged into the Series S. So as said, depending on who you are and what and how you play your games, storage may be little or no issue at all whichever Series S you choose. As for myself? No complaints at all.
