I cry about SonyGaf from my chair in Redmond, WA
Alright I am late to the party, but I'm rocking a gaming rig and a one x, and thought about upgrading to play my console games better.
I don't give a crap about 4k and all that graphic whoring. Just want a console that is a bit future proof - which series s isn't.
I don't even care about a disc drive which made series s a decent choice, until I noticed the systems true bottleneck - the disc.
Because who the hell thought that a digital only system should have 364 GB available storage for games, in a time where these games are around 100 gigs these days, and it's probably going to get worse throughout the generation.
A series x costs 530 euro in my country, and since I already have a gaming rig I wouldn't mind the little brother s, which could run the games I for some reason don't play on my pc.
The series s costs 320 euro, which is more affordable, but if you want to upgrade the crippled storage, which I know I would, given I like to have a lot of games installed (which I already have on my 864 GB one x), it just doesn't seems possible on the series s.
Now, we can thankfully upgrade the storage, but that costs 240 euro, which end up being the same price as the one x anyway.
What the hell were Microsoft thinking with this storage nonsense.
The system is not crippled by its weaker graphics, its crippled because you have almost no hard drive space.
Edit -
Another thing is, having a one x already, it's a mixed bag.
It even runs 360 games in one s mode and not enhanced.
