Yeah this has me interested, I was thinking of getting a Series X due to the idiotic digital pricing for new releases but since all first party stuff will be on Game Pass I won't need a disc drive.
And for cross platform titles I'll probably get those on the PS5, or wait for a sale or until they come to Game Pass.
Not to go off topic but you're not excited about Mario 3D All Stars, Mario 3D World or the new Hyrule Warriors? What sort of monster are you?
This is how I am seeing it, too.
Just seems like such a bargain for £249, am very surprised they didn't do the usual 1:1 pound to dollar thing and charge us £299.

Even at full price you are mad to buy a one X with a new console around the corner. I just recently played RDR2 on gamepass on my original day one Xbox and never once thought about the missing 4k Res. This generation has been quite forgetable actually. I just hope developers take note.

Xbox One tanked this gen and lost all the momentum from the brilliant Xbox 360. Now they are just trying to get customer base back by selling a cheap console.
Cheap entry level to maximize GP subs is what they're after.
Ok so the Series S has been announced. great. this complicates things a little for me.
Currently I have a One X, well my son now has it. I gifted it to him as I got myself a Ryzen 5 laptop with an RTX 2060 while not exactly next-gen or cutting edge ticks my 1080p gaming boxes nicely.
What I want to understand is just how much of an upgrade the Series S will be over the One X. Yes it'll have faster storage and ray tracing etc but is this actually important to a 13 year old who likes to play things like GTA 5 and Forza. My current thinking is that we stick with the One X for now, and at some point upgrade straight to the Series X for which we would also upgrade the TV to sometime that will do 120hz.
be interested in the thoughts of others in our position.

Currently own an Xbox One S and have done for four years or so. No issues with it whatsoever, but I'm ot gonna lie that I'm mighty tempted by the Series S; that being said, the prices of digital titles still irks me somewhat.
one x could be sold now, very little to upgrade to nextgen tho
My original plan was to keep the One X as a Game Pass box until next year and was a definite improvement over my One S.
I had issues with heat and noise on this one so was already going back to Amazon, replacement was scheduled for last week and advised on the day it isn't coming, replacement now due on Saturday but think I'll just take a refund and get the Series S.
They were slating the Series S as having 4 teraflops vs the 6 of the One X hence why I thought it would last me a while, but not all about the numbers I know.
The faster load times via the new hard drives would be great, and I'm not that bothered about 4k if I'm honest, 1440p with a decent frame rate would be my preference.
You can't really compare 6tf from last gen to 4tf next gen.
Its already been confirmed that the series S will do everything the series X can, just at a lower resolution
Not to derail this thread but just to be sure.
We tried that but it still doesn't give him the option to download on the store, just says to get gamepass or buy the game. The only way his profile can play the game is if my profile is signed in and then switch to his. That means as soon as I turn my xbox on his gets signed out.
Do you have to download from the ultimate profile on the home xbox? Sign in on my account, download. Sign out, sign on to his account, search for the game and download again?

I don't really fancy paying top dollar for games I've already played on other platforms.
Hyrule Warriors is a maybe. I find these games a bit repetitive after a while. But the BOTW prequel aspect is interesting.
