The S is a brilliant little console perfect for 'second' console use. Obviously, the X is much better, but you have to think about the price tag in this situation. Do you have a 4k screen upstairs? and consider how close you sit to it. If, for instance, it's at the end of your bed (I'm guessing) then you won't get the benefit of 4k unless it's a big screen and you really won't notice the diffrence.

Buy what you can afford comfortably, but sounds like the S would be a perfect choice. Just don't forget it's disc-less.

Thank you, that’s very helpful ! Screen upstairs is 50inch 4k and I’ll be sitting roughly 7 feet away. I have a tendency to always go for the top spec but the price difference between these makes the S seem like the clear winner.

I’m assuming apart from the resolution , the games will run without lag or too much of a performance hit ?

For Call of Duty, it should do 60fps fine, but 120 is hopeless. If playing other games on it becomes a possibility, keep in mind an incresing number of titles are 30fps only on Series S.
