Poll: Which Design Do You Prefer, Xbox Series S Or X?

Definitely the X, always prefer black electronics.

I guess the S, but it's still ugly. I asked my Fiancee, and even she pulled a face at both and went "ugh, the black brick".

@Z3u5000 Cool 🙄

I like the look of the S and if I get PS5 that'll look better next to it

The black circle on the S is so out of place the more I look at it. Strange design choice for sure.

I like them both, but I love minimalist designs so the black one just edges it for me.

Series X for sure. S looks a bit like a speaker.

Design wise it's the S for me...

I like them both. But I wonder for the series s, if it would have been possible to put a faded x logo onto the black fan vent? It would look like the Xbox logo.

@redd214 that’s so racist what have you got against white?🤪

@redd214 I think without it, it was just One S and they wanted to differentiate noticeably.

If the S was all black it would look more like the monolith from 2001: A Space Odyssey then the already monolith looking X. I dig both designs.

You know, apart from the design, I just lost the differences. Are these the same with one only having a disc?

Oh gosh; this is actually a hard one to think of. I love the blocky look of the Xbox Series X but their is something strangely adorable about the Xbox Series S. The colour is more to my preference and I think the additional fan on the front is a neat touch.

I'm going to be getting an Xbox Series X because of the disc drive, but purely in terms of design, I think my vote goes to Xbox Series S.

The S is not a good looking console, imo. Series X looks better. Not that the look of a console sways me, either way...

X looks better, but S would be a better fit for my tv board.

I do like the look of both consoles. Series S is more of an evolution than a completely new design. I think the series X looks better overall.

@Z3u5000 cool story bro

The mini fridge will be a fine addition to my collection!

I think I'm gonna get the Drive Thru Speaker tbh

@Steel76 there's still time for there to be a black version

I prefer the look of the Series X.

I like the X. Simple yet elegant. And it has a disc drive

Definitely the Series X, Not a big fan of the look of The Series S.. The fan on the system looks so out of place.. But i guess the Series S looks ok, I mean it's not ugly like the playstation 5..

@carlos82 He posted that because some Sony fans said that PS5 has RDNA2 and RDNA3 features.

@Bmartin001 Series S looks simple but with a fun/fan touch 😆. Some people don't like the colours but it had to be white and not black like Series X although I think we'll see more colours in the future. Series X looks elegant and compact compared to the praying mantis PS5 🤣.

Basically, Series S is a 1440p all-digital Series X that is able to upscale to 4K.

Series S. Very futuristic looking.

@Octane The Series X looks almost identical to my surround sound speakers at home.

@Z3u5000 This isn't a pro in playstation's favour, but VRS sucks. I guess it's nice to have the option when you're limited on power (like all 3 consoles) but it looks worse in every case in the few games so far that have it. I call it "dynamic shadow quality" basically since VRS looks worse in every analysed case.

@Menchi That’s because you have never tried VRS Tier 2 of XVA/Directx 12_2 which will be superior.

@Z3u5000 Gonna go with X to doubt. Less shading = lower quality, as we've seen.

Series X. I don't have a 4K tv so I was tempted by Series S when I first saw the price, but digital only is a no go for me.

Damn I wasn’t expecting a DJ hero 3 but here we are
