  1. They're cheaper.
  2. You don't have to either spend a fortune or be knowledgeable about computers to build one yourself.
  3. I prefer using a controller, it's designed to fit in your hand nicely and give feedback with vibration.
  4. It's very simple, you just plug and play, no need to worry about updates and viruses, learning an OS.
  5. It connects to my TV which is a big screen, looks great, allows me to sit further away which I believe is better for my eyes and doesn't give me headaches.
  6. It also allows me to be comfortable on a couch or chair.
  7. It saves money and space in my place bc I can use my TV for streaming, movies and gaming all in one. I don't need a desk and monitor for games.
  8. A console is smaller and easier to transport.

Not all of these are big deals and some might be personal preference but these are all reasons I've never been interested in PC gaming before.

Forget the xbox series s and go for the series x the graphics on the series x are absolutely brilliant. I watched my neighbour playing Call of Duty, modern warfare, and I have to say when I saw the game, wow, what graphics so life like. I play my games on a 4k TV my neighbour plays on a 4k tv but his graphics on his game are 100% far better than mine, and I play on a ps4 pro, and I am going to buy the series x I am hooked on the console after seeing what it can do with the games.

You can play your old Xbox One games from an external drive but next gen S/X Series games require inbuilt storage which the Series S has a very low amount of storage for a next gen console.

To expand your storage of the series S it costs £200 for 1TB which almost puts you at the Series X price range so it’s better to just go for the X from the start. It would be better if Microsoft allowed you to do use any storage rather than their official ones like with the PS5 because it would be way cheaper but that’s just how it is unfortunately.

I've got a 4tb external rn, wouldn't I still be able to play my non series x enhanced games from that? Pretty sure I could. And just re-download my other enhanced games on the console like ark, wt, cod, 2042, etc

Get the X.

The series S is quite weak, and if you want to expand the storage it will cost as much as the Series X because Microsoft use proprietary storage.

Was just seeing others opinions on the s cause havnt seen many. I know how the x is cause I've played my older brothers. But will probably be getting a new job in next few weeks to start saving towards it.

Sell it if you already have a powerfull pc. Or if you wanna buy something else. Otherwise I think you should keep it because its a hell of a machine (this is coming from a playstation fan)
