The series S is meant to be getting a much better CPU than what is in the One X. So although it will lack some power in the GOU department, you should see improvements in CPU heavy games.

From the internet gossip, it is supposed to do everything exactly the same as the Series X but at 1080p instead of 4K.
 
I feel sorry for the parents who's kids will be putting this on their Christmas wish list. Hopefully the blurred lines between previous and next gen will help them out by reducing the 'urgency' to change.

I'll justify the cost by having had a good run on the One and it being time to upgrade to 4k.

there’s still the Series S cheaper model to be unveiled.
 
Where is peoples thinking of preordering, may go direct from microsoft myself.

Wherever does the monthly subscription offer for me. Otherwise, probably Argos as they have one in my town so I can always return it easily if it goes wrong. :p

I'm actually starting to lean more towards getting the XSX first now and waiting a bit longer for the PS5. Even though I have a backlog of PS4 games to play on it and literally nothing on Xbox. But there's always Game Pass...
 
Which is the right way to go in my opinion. Make finding and getting into a game super fast on the console, but I'm going to check who's online first on my phone, I'm going to message on my phone, I'll share clips from my phone.

Ah, I see how it can be useful. I have a totally empty friends list so don’t bother with those things. :p
 
Well if all Microsoft’s tech blurb about Series X is true, it should have no issues at all with Flight Sim. It’s nearly 2080 equivalent. But to put it out on OG Xbone would be madness.
 
Space isn't really an issue for XSX, easy enough to slap in that second 1TB NVMe SSD cartridge. And the sustained 2.4GB/sec minimum speed will help a lot with all that streaming and pop in. I can imagine 9/10 people trying it out on Game Pass, seeing a few sights - where they live - and then getting bored with it.

Has anyone here played it on PC exclusively with a controller? I could try it today but I have almost zero SSD space available to download it to, so probably going to wait until the XSX version myself now.
 
Wasn't the PS4 Pro like this? No price or availability until mid-September 2016 and then launch in November? Can't quite remember. I think we're all getting annoyed over nothing really. :p
 
I’m not keen on that plain, plastic case. It looks very cheap. Hopefully when Halo Infinite comes out for “Holiday 2021” there will be an accompanying special edition of the console with a lick of paint.
