    New Generations: On the Series S Reveal and Series X Pricing...


    Just like online only consoles have been a major detriment and annoyance, a disk-less console is entirely bad for the industry. If you want to buy digital copies of games yourself that's fine. However...

    1. You cannot, lend digital game copies (or if you can it is entirely subject to the whim and restrictions of the platform).
    2. You cannot resell/trade your download only games, which means it has 100% depreciation immediately (since games are assigned to your account not your console). Which is even worse when you consider it hurts game retailers and people who rely on some of that revenue for their livelihood.
    3. Just like online text books, they are no cheaper without a physical copy, so you are effectively paying extra for it.
    4. You have extremely limited rights and no control over download only games. (You can cross your fingers for your government updating consumer rights regarding digital media, but don't hold your breath.)

    If they want to go to a different physical media, I am fine with that, you know, sell flash drives or SD cards. But no physical option? In this case no-disk drive on the Series S is a non-starter, full stop. I would sooner never buy another new console, and I am not spending $700CAD for one with a disk tray.

    As an aside, If they want to keep releasing generations, they need to make them backwards compatible with accessories. Even just physical space is an issue, how many controllers do they think a person can store? Not to mention the Xbox One controllers weren't even as good as the 360's (quality wise).

    Purchase

    It looks like you've purchased the Series S|X edition, which is for new generation consoles (Series S and Series X) and wouldn't be compatible with your Xbox One S.

    Xbox serie X

    "Series X" and "Series S" are both New Generation consoles.

    Xbox Series S over X?

    In your situation, I would go with the Xbox Series S,

    The Series S is aimed at 1080p / 1440p gaming,

    The Series X is aimed at 4K gaming,

    Getting a Series X would mean that your spending an extra £/$200 to not play at 4K,

    You could use that £/$200 saved by getting the Series S and a 1Tb SSD expansion card for about the same price as the Series X,

    X box one s graphics are pixelated

    "The Xbox series S is a more than capable gaming console with an excellent power to price ratio that targets 1440p and can output upscaled 4k.

    As a result you should not be getting significantly noticeable 'pixalation' over the series x."

    The original poster bought an Xbox One S, not a Series S and was comparing it to an Xbox One X, not a Series X.

    The Medium

    Spencer said all generations of games will work on the Series S/X and Microsoft Studio games will be released on Game Pass day 1 for both the One and Series S/X. The Medium is not a Microsoft Studios title so the publishers/developers have decided to release
    it for the Series S/X.
