Re: Talking Point: Xbox Series S Owners, Are You Happy You Skipped Series X?

Rainbowjames

I bought a series s to supplement my Switch and pick up all the games either not on Nintendo Switch or not great versions. The price point and availability were huge factors. I couldn't justify the cost of a series x or ps5 disc edition. Backwards compatibility over the past two decades was also a major selling point. I'm old enough to have played through all console generations and having a machine that played SSX3, Timesplitters, Orange Box, Joe Danger, Dishonored, Outer Wilds, various Burnouts and many more as well as acceptable versions of new releases for £250 was a great proposition. Not regretted it at all. I'm sure series x is a step up but I've got a happy balance.

I managed to do this to get the Orange Box for my Series S. Took a few goes. I had to access the US marketplace to add a payment card, then try and buy it via the US (I'm a UK owner). It took about 5 attempts across different browsers but suddenly worked with no obvious reason as to why. Orange Box £14.99. Seemed reasonable
