You're spending more for the Series S as soon as you buy the memory expansion. Or as soon as you buy around 3 games digitally that are $10 or less physically.
Also, there are currently only 3 games that your One S can't play. That's Scorn, Flight Simulator and Gotham Knights. Redfall is coming up but then there's Starfield and Elder Scrolls. Neither of those have a release date.
Save up your money and buy an X when one of those games drops. Right now, there really is no curren gen exclusivity with Series X/S.

You can get a job at 14… I had one when I was 12, and I came from a wealthy family.

Everyone who I know with a series s loves them. Just keep in mind you won't be getting the same discounts on games, as they are digital only.

Get a job, it’s good for self esteem and it lets you actually do things if you don’t get an allowance. Save for it. Trust me, you’ll regret it if you buy a series S.

I live in the UK and here they cost 400ish pounds and I don't get money often. I would be saving for months on end. I don't care about performance just the fact that I can play newer games like goat simulator 3 that is restricted to only Xbox Series S|X

To be honest I don't see the reason to get series s just go for series x as you had the better last gen u may as well keep that going Controller wish I have the elite 2 core controller it's very good I think worth the money if you play a lot of FPS games that is its main focus. Save data should carry over as you will use the same online ID to sign into the xbox series X

Then don’t get a controller or a new console and save till you can afford a series X. 300ish dollars and you can have the latest Xbox available, although I prefer my PS5, they remain more expensive.

I'm tight for money and I'm only 14 so that would be an impossibility

Get a series X, the series S will be outdated in <2 years. You can find them cheap if you don’t mind second hand.

if you've gotten them all online or at least went online after having a preference in being offline, Yes you can keep all progress in achievements and saves. it's worth the upgrade as everything you've installed in the internal ssd will load faster, you can play previous xbox one titles (except the ones that aren't mark X/S, some games have a separate version between the series x/s and the Xbox one version.)

Yes. Go with 2ds. Nobody is using 3d option anyway. Only handful of games will not work. All of them need New 3ds or New 2ds. Those consoles have little more powerful components and additional stick. If you want budget option then 2ds is perfect. Personally I think its also most comfortable to play for longer.

It's difficult to determine the exact reasons why the 2004-2005 era was a "magical year" for sports games, but several factors may have contributed to this trend:
-
Advances in technology: The 2004-2005 era was a time when game consoles were transitioning from the sixth to the seventh generation, and developers were starting to take advantage of the improved hardware to create more advanced and immersive games.
-
Competition among developers: With the sports gaming market becoming increasingly competitive, developers were working hard to produce high-quality games that would stand out from the crowd and appeal to fans.
-
Fan feedback: With the growth of online communities, game developers were able to receive direct feedback from fans and use it to improve their games.
-
Rising popularity of sports games: Sports games were becoming increasingly popular, and developers were eager to capitalize on this trend by creating games that would appeal to fans of different sports.
Ultimately, the 2004-2005 era was a time when many factors came together to create a perfect storm for the production of some of the best sports games of all time.

Happy to be of help 😊.
If he's got a good PC than PS5 becomes even more unnecessary as they started releasing their exclusives on PC after a (long) wait so at least several are on there, and PC VR (while way more expensive on average) is a lot better.

Strange whenever I go on ebay it usual shows me things specifically for my country first unless I guess no one is selling anything with is generally a low chance but still possible. My advice then is to go to a local second hand game/tech store or something then idk what the US equivalent would be but just search on google for some near you.

No problem! I try to give people info on VR whenever I can to help out.
If you're thinking about buying used, or just want some info on device care, I made a video a while ago to send to people for instances like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T97X1ypEUTk (10 minutes)

Reply to comment by MJCollazo3 in LLOKING FOR NO WIFI HANDHELD GAMES by MJCollazo3
Would u be allowed a laptop with the network card removed? That way you could have an entire gaming system up to date but completely offline (just use external devices to transfer tg He game or data across) due to hardware making it impossible to go online without additional hardware being used. I say this is the best option as it gives u so much more than just gaming on the device. I worked in conditions similar and this was allowed (after much arguing from me). I would spend most evenings as work gaming or watching films in the gaps.
If not then the best option in my opinion would be a game system built (maybe raspberry pi) as an emulation machine allowing u to play up to ps2 games quite well. Again can be built without WiFi and just allow an sd card full of gamed.
Or if u want to go with an already known pre made system then the psp (non WiFi option) or an old gameboy advanced or something will be just fine.

Xbox is very good with the save data yes it will all carry over. They have made it very easy to switch there’s an option to back up the data and when you log into your new console it can even transfer over. But i’ve had a few xbox’s in my house and it’s very easy to jump from one to the other. If you play mostly story games you’re gonna be shocked how fast games load with the Series systems. I’d definitely get series system over the elite controller ok but I would never choose it over a system upgrade.
