AMAZON XBOX ONE S SERIES
Sure you'll get better graphics and faster frame rates in the latest games with the Series X, but the Series S isn't likely to let you down either. Most pertinent, the game library is the same for both. Sure their overall power and design is different, but both use the same controller, interface, and other features. In many ways the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S are very similar. On the other hand, we also realize it's a luxury to own a single console for the living room an extra one might be pushing it. This is particularly true since most Xbox Series X/S games are also available on PC, and your save data can carry over - especially true if you use Xbox Game Pass Ultimate ($15 per month). The Xbox Series S is easy to fit into any setup, and easy to move around.įor this reason, the Xbox Series S makes a fantastic secondary console for a bedroom, child's room, guest room - you get the idea.
AMAZON XBOX ONE S TV
It's one of the smallest, lightest consoles in years, and it fits perfectly in an entertainment center - or simply next to a TV on a dresser. The little white console (with the tasteful black vents on top) is only 10.8 x 5.9 x 2.6 inches, and 4.3 pounds. This is where the Xbox Series S positively shines. It's not at all guaranteed to fit in your entertainment center, particularly if you want it in a horizontal configuration. While the Xbox Series X is a pretty console, there's no denying that it's pretty big: 11.9 x 5.9 x 5.9 inches, and 9.8 pounds. This means that if you have a lot of physical media - be they movies, TV shows, or backwards-compatible games - the Xbox Series X offers a huge advantage over the Series S. The Xbox Series X also has a 4K Blu-ray player built in the Xbox Series S is a purely digital console.

But if you have a high-end TV, save your pennies for the Series X.
AMAZON XBOX ONE S 1080P
If you have a 1080p TV or 1440p monitor - and plan to keep using it for a few more years - the Series S is an easy sell. Qualitatively speaking, the Xbox Series S looks good and plays well, even on 4K displays. The Series X also has much better draw distance in optimized games. The Xbox Series X supports ray-tracing on a huge variety of games, while the Series S has much more limited ray-tracing support. While the Xbox Series S has 4K upscaling and HDR features, it's not quite the same thing as having a native 4K display. Just don’t delay much longer as this deal definitely won't stick around forever.In our tests, the Xbox Series X performed better than the Xbox Series S across the board - not surprising, considering the Series X's hardware.
AMAZON XBOX ONE S FULL
However, if you predominately game on PS5 or Xbox Series X (or even PS4/ Xbox One) then you should have little trouble finding two picks that appeal to you in the full range of more than 500 games included in this Amazon deal.

If you’re a Switch player we recommend saving your cash for now as there will probably be better discounts available during the upcoming Prime Day 2 and Black Friday sales. Pokemon Brilliant Diamond has recently been added, but you might struggle to find something to pair it with unless you’ve been holding out for a deal like this to pick up Knockout Home Fitness or Smurfs Kart Turbo Edition. Unfortunately, the Nintendo Switch games included in the deal are rather more underwhelming.

It's also been discounted to $39, which is an absolute steal for an open-world game that you can easily sink more than 100 hours into. This super-challenging action RPG was my personal favorite game of last year, and is one of the most engrossing gaming experiences of the last decade. That’s a serious gaming bargain in our book.Īmazon has once again refreshed the available selection and the promotion now includes Elden Ring (but only on PS4). Plus, loads of the games in this sale are already discounted which means you can potentially pick up two must-play titles for less than the price of a $70 new release. Other top picks for PS5 and Xbox Series X players include Octopath Traveler 2, Sonic Frontiers, Neir Replicant, Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands, Cuphead, Forspoken, A Plague Tale Reqiuem and Maneater Apex Edition. These include Street Fighter 6, Atomic Heart, Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty and Like a Dragon: Ishin. While the majority of the games that populate our lists of the best PS5 games and best Xbox Series X games are not included - sadly the likes of Starfield and Baldur’s Gate 3 are absent from the selection - there are still several games that launched in 2023 to choose from.
