Should You Buy an Xbox One S?

With the South African release expected in November the question remains: Is it worth it?

[Perjoss]

Isn't there a new xbox out next year? I little point in getting an S

[DARK_WOLF]

Why are so many people tryna convince others not to buy this console?

If u already got an og just sell it an less than half a weeks pay to get a new faster console thats better in every way and a new bluetooth controller.

Every1 gets different $$$ in life but its not a lot of cash for one of these honestly.

If ur a gamer and like the look of the xbox one s then why wouldnt you?

[RosweeSon]

Then what sell it again in a year? 3 console in 3-4 years.. Wow.

[DARK_WOLF]

I never said anything about selling it in a year. But if u wantd to u can sell ur og xbox and upgrade to an S for pittance and have a better console for the next 12 months that doesnt disconnect controllers and runs faster with a bigger hdd thats 2x faster due to the sata III connection.

Ud be stupid not to upgrade tbh unless u just dont care about gaming very much

Oh and just so u know, lots of ppl have more than one xbox in the house. Multiroom and gamesharing, saves in the cloud n all that.

@darkwolf_nz you missed his point...When Scorp comes out you can use the exact same argument to upgrade again

[DARK_WOLF]

I didnt miss anything.

People upgrade $1000 cell phones every year or two for minimal improvements for the exact same experience.

Why is it a problem when it comes to upgrading a 3year old console that costs $299. Its a seamless experience and everything transfers to the new console so u arent losing anything.

OG xb1 has flaws that are fixed and then some with xb1s. Even if its only for 1 year til scorpio its worth the TINY amount of $$$ required to upgrade

Have u ever had a controller disconnect mid game on xb1?? I have. Im upgrading to the S for that reason alone but the rest of the improvents are just awesome!

Il be keeping my gears 4 xb1s along side my scorpio.

I guess alot of people arent into gaming as much as others. The xb1s is a no brainer for me. Awesome console!

[mark_parch]

yes but its all relevant. whatever extra you spend now on an xbox one s you will get back when you sell it for a scorpio. if you keep your og xbox one it will be worth nothing when scorpio comes out. so it actually makes more sense to upgrade now

@DarkWolf_NZ "I guess alot of people arent into gaming as much as others. The xb1s is a no brainer for me. Awesome console!"

I mostly game on PC and get consoles for exclusives. Xbox 1S has none anymore so it is a no brainer for me not to get it. OG Xbox had its purpose for me but the S and upcoming Scorp has none.

I agree thou One S seems to be a great console and def a nice upgrade of the OG box. If it still had exclusives I'd pick one up

If you want one buy it's not a hard concept...if it is that big a deal you have the wrong hobby.

[Flenter]

Definitely

"Should you buy an Xb1 S" , if you feel like getting one then yes , if you don't feel like getting one then no , hope that answers the question

[RosweeSon]

If your South African just grab the limited gears edition :)

[slappy508]

Any idea where I can order one from ?

[XXanderXX]

Depends on the consumer and their wants and needs , me I need and want one plus its a good reason to upgrade the entertainment unit ........lol

[marquisray]

What about the neo when scorpio comes out ps5 will be right behind it how come no one talk about that

[mark_parch]

yes if you don't already have an xbox or windows 10 gaming pc

[hiawa23]

The answer is simple. I have owned an X1 since launch day, picked up an S 2 days ago, and I love it.

Not only do my games load faster, which are on a 5TB external HDD drive, but they perform better, console looks better, uses less power, power brick inside, the games required no redownload, just plugged the HDD in they worked like the original, so I am very happy with the improvements and I am also getting the Scorpio, which does not come out for another year plus. Microsoft should be proud of the revision, so this was worth it to me?

I have no interest in PC gaming. The PS4 and X1 X1S are good enough for my tastes, so those asking is the console worth it, well, yes, if you want to play Xbox games, or your 360 BC, or you want a cheaper UHD player, or you don't game on PCs, and the Scorpio is not coming for another year plus.

Until it comes, I want to continue playing my Xbox games, so hell yeah, this is worth it, to me. Very pleased.

I am not trying to convince anyone to buy anything. Personally, I don't work for MS, could care less whether anyone buys an Xbox or not, just giving my experience. Simple as that.
