Topic: General Xbox Series S Thread

This is a place to discuss the rumoured Lockhart skew of the next generation Xbox series consoles.

@sixrings Hopefully this will stop us derailing the Xbox series X discussion.

@Ryall thank you. I have no real interest of spending the amount needed to get into a series x after barely playing my one x. That said I'm a hardware sucker and will buy something. So I'm happy Microsoft is saving me monies. And I like to support bill gates and his vaccine agenda.

If only it was a white cube of sugar like the mockup. Lockhart could also be the xCloud units. We'll find out soon.

@BlueOcean I desperately hope it's black. I traded my one s for an x just for the black. But everyone has their own preferences

@sixrings I'm going to get the Series X for its power but that mockup looks cute. Black looks better on electronic devices, yes. For marketing purposes, I think that Series S should be white like Xbox One S.

@BlueOcean well I hope they leave white to PlayStation this time.

@sixrings Oh well, that things looks monstrously ugly in my honest opinion.

@BlueOcean agreed.

I'm probably gonna get a Xbox Series S alongside the physical PS5 next year, so I can be prepared for next gen.

My plan was to get Series X at launch, but now I think maybe I wait. The thing is, I don't have 4k television, I still play with my old 1080p tv. I want to know what Series S can offer before I make a decision.

I might not get it if it either doesn't have 4k, or there's a digital version of the Series X upcoming.

I hope they make a new color for this console I'm tired of black and white why not try grey or green or maybe silver

@HotGoomba what's the point of doing 2 consoles that can do 4k unless it's a digital which I doubt it more like 1080p console

@experTiger ok, maybe 4k isn't a necessity, more so a bonus. As long as it's 1080p or above, it's fine.

Also because I like Xbox Game Pass, but I also like physical games, so I'll get the Digital games on XSS, and Physical on PS5.

Oh yeah, and exclusives.

@BrilliantBill Although I dont think we have any confirmation, I dare bet money that any X1 game running on XSX will make its best to tell the game it's running, at least, on X1X hardware.

XSS is anyone's guess, but I think part of the deal with the XSS is that it wont even be capable of pumping out anything above 1080p to the TV.

@BrilliantBill All XB1 games are playable on Series X (except for Kinect exclusive titles, but who cares), but I don't know if there will be any graphical changes besides possible 4K.

Xbox Series S confirmed by retailer! 😅 It exists and it's white.
