    Always awesome to see videos like this from you! I have been in the Xbox ecosystem since 2004 and have a fair sized physical game collection from over the years and so I have a Series X in my living room. But I also own a number of games digitally and enjoy them on my Series S in the spare room. It's a good little console. You could also just have a Series S for current gen games and have an Xbox One around for physical games if you are on a budget. Anyway, great video!

    Yes, it surely is a good option, especially for casual players who doesn't feel like 4k is that much big of a deal. You spend less and get a new gen console, which is pretty good looking and portable since its size.

    Finding out about the travel convenience was a happy accident for me lol. I flew to Florida for my college graduation last year since I was an online student. Unfortunately, I went alone and ended up staying in a Marriott off the highway near my school. Luckily, I had the foresight to bring my Series S along since I was playing through the Master Chief Collection and had started the last campaign. And thank God I brought it along because the hotel smart tv was TERRIBLE to navigate through and the netflix and youtube apps kept logging me off if I paused a video for longer than 5 minutes.

    If you want to play the latest games with all the bells and whistles, then no. I've had a Series S for a while now and it's annoying how many developers can't be bothered to optimise their games properly for it. Capcom being the perfect example, Street Fighter 6 looks like an Xbox 360 port on the Series S.

    @@commanderclaude8781 A few things to take into consideration. Number 1. While Cloud gaming is decent the Xbox cloud gaming system has some noticeable input lag which kind of sucks ( Could be just me but im an online FPS player so any input lag is a no go for me ) 2. The Series S on average cuts loading times by over 5x. So that's a huge difference. Then comes the graphical performance. The Series S can do 900p-1440p @ 120hz on most games. The One S caps at 1080p 60 fps IF YOU ARE LUCKY. I am not saying you need to get the SS but it will be 100x the device you have now. I have a ps5, pc and series s and I use the S the most! lol ( Hope this helps friend! )
