Are you going to buy a Xbox Series S?

[Elandyll]

I have a PC, I don't need an Xbox.

 

[Forearm_Star]

Nah

 

[Deleted member 9857]

Yep. Surprised me too.

Also surprised by Series X ahead of PS5.

why? there was no poll option for getting both PS5 and Seeies X so I interpreted it as for for PS5 if you're not getting an Xbox at all

Since I'm getting a Series X and PS5 I instead voted for Series X so it would be recorded that I preferred the X

 

[Resident4t.]

I have a PC so my initial reaction is to say no, but you can't play Xbox or x360 games on the PC. Things like Rare Replay are stuck on Xbox One as well.
I don't see them adding that stuff to PC so the Xbox Series S might be worth it just for backwards compatibility.

It's missing the "No, I have a PC" option.
If I didn't had one this console would be great as GP machine.

Same here. I'm so tempted to, but I have a PC and actually prefer the Game Pass PC selection, so it'd be better for me to jump into the ecosystem that way.

 

[zoltek]

Nope. I have no need for a next-gen console gimped right out the gate. The monetary discount is not enough for a product that all but defeats the purpose of a next-gen console in the first place.

 

[Shigs]

It depends.

I have a huge back catalog of 360/One games on digital and I'm gonna need a bigger hard drive than 512GB. However, I found out my 2TB external hard drive will be fine for running non-Series S/X games (those require the SSD drives). So if I'm only putting Series games on the internal drive, I'll be fine.

My thing is if I can get on Xbox All Access, I'll get an X. If I can only just buy outright, I'll get an S. I have a 39" 1080P TV that I'm currently happy with and am not looking to pay $500 upfront when $300 will do fine.

 

[Archduke Kong]

I want a PS5, but I also want the next Doom and Elder Scrolls games and don't want to spend a fortune in order to play them, so I actually might have to once it starts getting sales/going used.

 

[Theswweet]

Where's the "No, I play on PC" option?

 

[Lady Gaia]

I had assumed all along that whatever Lockhart would be was going to be a solid option as my re-entry into owning an Xbox after being lapsed for a generation. I had no idea they would come up so short on RAM and memory bandwidth, which pretty much strikes it from contention for me. If in a couple of years there are some solid exclusives I'll go ahead with a Series X. Otherwise I'll pass again.

 

[Karlinel]

Ps5 and series S, so I play sony games and have gamepass to kill time in between releases I want to play.

 

[wtd2009]

I think by the time I'm ready to invest in Xbox there will likely be a pro mode out, so I'd either go for that or whatever the x is at that point.

 

[Negatorous]

Ps5 and series S, so I play sony games and have gamepass to kill time in between releases I want to play.

That is exactly what I did. PS5 disc version and Series S (plus I have a Switch and a decent PC)

 

[nanskee]

Sexy console, I'm buying it opposed to a series X as I consider myself a casual gamer and I'm using it as a gamepass machine

I'll be honest though, if it was magically launching at $250 USD, it would be totally nuts. I think by next year it's possible that it can hit $250. Either $250 usd or 750gb storage and it would've been perfect.

 

[Sanctuary]

No, and as long as Microsoft keeps putting most of their games on PC, I'll likely not buy another one of their consoles. Going to get a PS5 (whenever they are actually available...) and potentially the Switch "Pro" next year if it gets released then.

 

[Deleted member 47700]

I have almost zero reason to get either Xbox because I kind of already have them in the form of my two gaming PCs upstairs and downstairs. One being a 1080p couch machine in a small case and the other a tank with an i9 CPU and RTX card in it. Them coupled with Game Pass is already excellent for what I want and I've pre-ordered the PS5 for its exclusives.

 

[B.C.]

Is there a "You damn skippy! Right along with my Series X".

 

[plain]

For $99, maybe.

 

[Bessy67]

Nope. I preordered a Series X and if I get a 2nd console it'll be a PS5 DE.

 

[Unmoses]

Pre-ordered an X for my 4k TV, and an S for my bedroom (or nephew for Christmas if I'm low on gifts lol). I also have a big gaming rig too.. That's usually my main but sometimes I just enjoy the ease of 4k couch gaming. Gamepass is making my life pretty easy to switch seats now ;)

 

[Lion]

Never

For me personally, xbox is never worth it as I will always have a pc.

 

[IIFloodyII]

Pretty decent chance, it'll be a Game Pass box, so would be 100% Digital regardless and I couldn't give a fuck about 4K. Will depend on how it performs, Xcloud and whether I decide on if I wanna build a PC in the near future, instead of getting the twins and barely using 1.

 

[DPB]

I'd be tempted if it wasn't digital-only. Not every game will be on Game Pass, and physical games are so much cheaper here that even with the low price I'm not sure it's worth it in the long run.

 

[Duxxy3]

If I could play my disks on it I would have bought a series S. It was cheaper for me to buy a series X than it would be to re-purchase those games on digital.

 

[breakdancing duck]

My option isn't here. I bought a PS5 and will buy an X when the time comes.

 

[Omniblack]

I'd love one for the size etc. definitely not getting one at launch(series X instead). Never say never I guess, but next console probably a ps5(switch pro other option) after some more of their exclusives release and drop in price.

 

[Bugalugs214]

Yep got one for my kids room.
Lucky they play a lot of Minecraft, Roblox and Fortnite do should run them really well.

 

[NDA-Man]

I don't have a 4k TV. The lack of a disc drive irks me a little, but only a little--most of my recent buys have been digital. Honestly, unless I hear word of mouth that it's performance is substantially worse than the X, beyond just not being able to do 4k, I'm probably going to go for the Series S over the X.
