@swedetrap I'm sure it's faster and I could care less about the small hard drive space. I really just want to play ea sports games, f1, soul calibur and maybe call of duty. That's not really much but I don't like the idea of playing the one s version of modern warfare and soul calibur. That's insane so it's collecting dust in a box.
@Nermannn if the s played last gems xbox one x games then I would have opened my box already. Instead it's sitting up stairs with my walmart receipt ready to be returned. I love the form factor though.
Yet people have to play killer instinct in 900p on series s! Honestly the fact that series s doesn't play backward compatible games with xbox one x enhanced graphics is a real deal breaker.
I dunno I've lost my enthusiasm. If real series x games won't be coming for two years. God knows when halo will come out. Why not wait for a Xbox series XX model
@JetmanUK I don't know which pre order to keep. The series s or x. Some reports make me think the s is enough and then there are others like these which make me want to keep the x. If microsoft games don't get improved there isn't much hope for the countless other third party 900p xbox one games.
@StonyKL pikman 3 a seven year old port is coming out at docked 720p 30fps... The switch is in desperate need of an upgrade but this is not encouraging.
@Medic_Alert I was so hyped for backward compatible games and then this digital foundry video disappointed me. I'm hoping the microsoft games like sea of thieves and forza can get series updates which includes load times. Otherwise these consoles might be able to play them but I'll likely have very little interest in revisiting them.
I'm more concerned with how the game plays. I'm tired of simulations like forza and I'm not a fan of open world's like horizon. I miss arcade racers like ridge racer and Sega rally. This looks like it might fill that itch.
I've seen some super cheap xbox one s on kijiji but I'll wait to see what Microsoft offers on black Friday. I might grab one just for an additional controller.
Series X from EB games (waited for 7hours) Series S from microsoft (their site crashed during the process) Series S from Walmart (let's see if it gets canceled)
@BlueOcean maybe. I'd like a switch pro but maybe it's going to be low key cancelled. Games do dissappear and I don't know the market for a full price game which sells for about $10 on other consoles over a year later.
@BlueOcean well I am pessimistic in some cases. The fact that it's not shown makes me believe it doesn't exist. I can't believe companies. Example: Sony we don't believe in generations...
In canada the price is 599 vs 379. I wanted a series s but the exchange rate pushes me towards an x. For instance in canada a ps5 is 629. Can I download the 1080p files on a series x?
@playstation_king on another purexbox thread you said you weren't a troll but had this name on all your accounts such a pushsquare. That's cool because I'm sixrings on nintendolife. But your comments today had troll all over them. Enjoy your system and your trolling.
@BlueOcean I agree that they are free and better than Nintendo's full price remaster but I just didn't care too much for the games. Now if outrun 2 was included maybe. I'll just accept that my backwards compatibility sucks as I don't want to spend that much this year on a system.
@BlueOcean I'm missing the joke. I'll be honest free online and I'll forget this whole backward compatibility thing. I just wanted to play red dead in as close to 4k again.
@NEStalgia all I know is that black ops was a BC game and it looked like garbage on my one meanwhile Read Dead a BC xbox one enhanced game looked like a remastered deluxe edition. And when I say remastered I don't mean it in the Nintendo sort of way but rather the PlayStation sort of way.
@BAMozzy honestly there isn't that many xbox one x enhanced games. If they have to redo them all to series s then that's basically what I expect. Otherwise I might find a cheaper Disney + box.
@Luigia as a former xbox one x owner there is a huge difference from being able to play call of duty black ops at 900p versus red dead at 4k. That said many of the backward games I bought I didn't really enjoy because although the one x made them look great, modern controls and gameplay have improved so much over the years. But I do own all the splinter cells digitally and red dead which I thought was better than the sequel.
If my backward compatible games got bumped to 1080p 60fps with HDR I'd be a happy camper. I don't think people remember how bad some games resolutions were in the 360 era. They are the same if not worse than the switch today. That's not great and I say that as a switch owner.
But could they not bump the resolutions up to 1440p. This is super disappointing as most people thought the series s was more powerful than the one x. I can understand the next gen games not being able to be played in 4k but my 360 games that were able to on the one x can't? It's beyond disappointing. But there's no way I am buying a series x.

Re: Dirt 5's Load Times Described As 'Blisteringly Fast' On Xbox Series X
@NEStalgia if I didn't dislike the practices of Sony I'd probably go with the shorter loading times. Well that and don't like the Sony controller.
Re: Dirt 5's Load Times Described As 'Blisteringly Fast' On Xbox Series X
I absolutely hated the loading times on forza. So much I gave up on it. This is welcomed.

Re: Xbox Series S Will Run Xbox One S Versions Of Backwards Compatible Games, With Improvements
@BlueOcean I cant find a list. Maybe 50. And not all xbox games are capable of playing. The few games which are capable are enhanced.
39 according to this list

Re: Xbox Series S Will Run Xbox One S Versions Of Backwards Compatible Games, With Improvements
Specifically I was referring to 360 and OG xbox games that got the Xbox one x enhancements.
yes there are a ton of Xbox one games which got xbox one x enhancements but that wasn't what I was talking about.
