I recently got one and this is my only gaming device that I own, I really enjoy this and if you really wanna play Halo, this is an amazing one to enter with, assuming that you dont have a PC.

Honestly? If you're low on budget or want to run it as addition it can be good option, however I would still recommend much powerful Series X.. But if you just want Halo... Didn't you considered One X? It would be much cheaper and perform not much worse than XSS, of course if you just want to run Halo and or try GamePass

I want to change my vote to NO. Get a Series X instead.

As a secondary device there’s no reason not to get the Series S. I think it’s perfect for that, actually

Honestly, if you have a fast internet connection there is no point. If you buy a controller and game pass ultimate, not pc game pass, you can play all your games on the laptop while also having acess to cloud gaming for xbox exclusives.

Oh. And I thought mine was slow. I'd definitely get the series s if your willing to buy it.

If your going to use it, definitely go for the series s and also buy game pass ultimate (this way you can use it on both the laptop and xbox).

Edit: I know Halo 5 and the Halo master chief collection are exclusive to xbox and not on pc, not sure about others though.

It's about the same number of games but not exactly the same games. Most are the same but gamepass pc has some pc games and the Xbox version had some xbox games that aren't on the pc version.

PC game pass is $60 cheaper per year at $10 a month.

I have a PC with Gamepass and a PS5 with PS Plus Premium. Imo, you do not need a Series S.

Yes series s is enough if you have already a ps5, but for enhanced graphics or high fps you can pay 250 dollars extra

Yes. That would be my recommendation. Your laptop gives you access to the same games as a Series S (although, so does an Xbox One).

However, if you just want to have an Xbox. You might as well save and get the Series X. It'll actually be cheaper than the S over the course of its lifespan, and it's a more capable system. The Series S has abysmal storage. The storage upgrade is proprietary, so it's super expensive.

The Series S is also digital only. The Series X will allow you to find dirt cheap (sometimes free) games for way less than digital sales. Games that you can also resale or trade. If you find/borrow/trade for a few games that are otherwise $40-$70 digitally and add that to the $150 - $200 memory, then you've basically covered the $300 price difference. In addition, you have a better system.

I think the Series S is a cool system for its size and capability. But I think it's most effective in the hands of people who don't game much or have more than a couple of games stored at once. It might be a good, low cost gift from a parent to a kid who might be getting into gaming but isn't 100% sure. That kind of thing. For someone who games frequently and has multiple systems already, I don't really see the point in it.

I'm not who you're asking but yes just get Game Pass on your laptop. That's what I did. Try it out for a month or two to see if it works for you. I only regret not having a console to own physical games.

Have the people who vote for „no“ even read what he wrote? He wants to try halo and gamepass.

OP, of course you should get one then. It will be the perfect choice for you!

How expensive is it in your country? Its good and buy gamepass with it but just dont forget that it can only run digital games.

Save up on a good gaming PC all Xbox games can be played on it and you will get much better graphics
