Awesome, seems like a nice console.
Do people know if the series S is more powerful than an Xbox one X? I think my One X is dying and I can't find a series x.
How much power has the Series S in comparison to the One X?
I guess you`ve never heard of ITX and WOL (wake on lan), have you?You must have missed the reply literally above this where the guy is like "just get up and hit the power button on the PC". I'll just hop skip and jump over my 4" floor speakers and sub and go behind my entertainment centers. NP.
And then you talk about streaming to a PC? Yeah, that's a high quality experience, there.
Bottom line is no amount of lying to yourself will make having a big ass PC behind your entertainment center that you have to navigate to for an issue "easy". It's nowhere near as quick, intuitive, space-saving, and simple as a console, and never will be. That's why people have gaming desks for their PCs, and sit on the couch for their consoles.
If you can't afford both and want to lie to yourself that running a PC to your TV is "just as good", be my guest.
Well, just using the teraflop metric that Xbox fans tend to address often, the One X is 6 teraflops and the Series S is 4 teraflops.
Agreed, everytime I think about wanting to replay Doom '16 I think about that giant install that is mostly made up of that MP that I barely ever touched.Is a nice little machine. Really wish that games like Gears 4 had segmentes to install and uninstall, because big games eat a lot of space for a small storage.
Ahhh, the ol' Predator-avatar-PC-gamer-mocking-other-PC-gamer-who-wants-to-play-on-the-couch meme. It's not 1987 anymore. Predator came out 34 years ago grandpa. You probably have the PC hooked up to the 50 inch TV so your bifocals can see the small font.
Personally did the whole xmbc + autologin + autohotkeys stuff ages ago but it's still not as easy as a console for couch gaming. I think Microsoft should a proper xbox mode for pc with a proper big picture mode.I guess you`ve never heard of ITX and WOL (wake on lan), have you?
Setup is more complex but you can reach the same level of comfort with a PC if you actually wish to dumb it down that much. I press a button on my smartphone and my PC boots right into GOG/STeam fullscreen mode if I want to.
The only one lying to himself seems to be you, or maybe you simply don`t know better.
I’m gonna be enjoying the same games you are going to for the entire Gen for $200 less!Hopefully, you can sell it for not too much of a loss when you get a proper next-gen console. You should be pissed at your friends. Friends don't let friends buy a Series S.
autostart steam in big picture mode if you don`t have a wireless mouse and want to use the controller only. problem solved.....Personally did the whole xmbc + autologin + autohotkeys stuff ages ago but it's still not as easy as a console for couch gaming.

Speaking of money, I actually don't even have a house at all, I'm a tramp.
I see NeoGAF on a monitor in a computer shop window thats nearby my tent, which is under the motorway. I saved up money from begging for a bluetooth mouse and keyboard and I connect them to the computers when the staff aren't looking to reply to good people like yourself or maybe send a few gifs.
The funny thing is my tent is also filled with giant speakers I have to step over when entering and trying to get to my sleeping bag, might seem inconvenient but its how I've always done it, can't change it now.
Sounds like you're doing well enough to have a dedicated gaming desk and a nice PS5 / XSX for your clean and neat entertainment center like I do! Welcome to the club, friendYou really keep trying to bring money into some equation which I find hilarious. You're pathetic.
I own my house, I own my car, got a shit ton in savings, have money in crypto and different stocks and I have literally 0 debt, I have a healthy baby girl and a great marriage. Not hurting for anything. You keep bringing up money like it's the only factor which shows how sad your life really is. I called you out on your bullshit and you just keep talking about money. You sound foolish and ignorant. Stick to politics bud, you might get some support their...

Considering you were talking about "big ass PCs" while ITX builds have been a thing for as long as I can think and you didn`t even know WOL which also has been around forever that is either a blatant lie or you used really, really shitty information sources.I've tried just about every combination under the Sun.
I click a button on my smartphone, pick up my controller or mouse depending on what I want to play and have my steam library in front of me ~10-20s later. Setup is a one time 30min effort and after that it`s the same but with much better hardware..Otherwise it will never be as simple as a Sony PS5 plugged into a Sony TV. I hit button, I am in game in under 15 seconds.

A high end gaming pc draws more power than a console while also putting out x-times the performance, gee who would have thought......Ok going with ITX builds being just like a console (they're not - they're bigger, hotter, and draw more power - which is already an issue in a clean / tight entertainment center)... spend $1500 on a smaller build that is less efficient for... what?
This is getting embarrassing with your mental gymnastics about smoothness issues with PCs which is nothing but grasping for straws in a long lost argument.My PS5 won't compete with my full size gaming PC... but you'd have to build a fairly gnarly ITX to have it run with the optimization/smoothness of PS5/XSX. WOL is spotty at best and if you have a set-up that works - more power to you. I work in IT and got annoyed with lag/bugginess in my set-up. That was a few years ago. Maybe that and your "smartphone app" (no clue what that would be) is finally up to par.
Nonsense....and you know that very well. You just don´t want to admit how stupid your arguments in this thread were about having to hop over your sound equipment to reach your "big ass" PC..... Just utter nonsense from start to finish.That being said - you're still lying to yourself if you say your perfect ITX set-up is anywhere near as cost efficient, simple, quick, intuitive, space-saving, and heat/power efficient as a console. It's not true. No matter how close you get the experience to a console. You're comparing an expertly designed purpose-built piece of hardware with a bunch of workarounds to make a home-build *almost* as intuitive.

And again you also seem to have missed the last decade in PCs if you think that heat/noise is an issue with ITX builds.

10 minutes ago you didn`t even know WOL and suddenly you`re an IT guy and claim it`s spotty. Well I´m a software architect mself and have used that "spotty" functionality for over a decade now and never had a single issue. If anything the issue with most standard PC systems is the user in front of it.
Standard WOL functionality nowadays works with every primitive magic package flawlessly.
Nonsense....and you know that very well.
Says the person who claims that hopping over sound equipment is necessary to reach some "big ass pc".......Yeah I didn't know about wake on LAN... now you just sound like a disingenuous jackass.
you`re the only one that ever brought "price" into this which is literally the only real divider here, which no one ever doubted btw.......as for builds, YT is full of ITX rtx3080/3090 builds.....Also while you're at it, show me the "nonsense" I speak - post an ITX build that will fit in a normal entertainment center and matches the PS5's performance for the same price - hell, even twice the price. I'd like to see it, genuinely.
you`re the only one that ever brought "price" into this......
More strawmen arguments from you.....
You lost the argument long ago, now you just drag the goalposts over the field.Ah, there it is.
I asked you (or anyone defending the "PC iz just az gud as console super ez") to show me a build that:
Is just as power, space, heat, and price efficient as a PS5, for equal, or even remotely close, price.
Also please show me one in action. I, as a dumb IT guy who doesn't know how to computer, would love to see this magical PC that operates *exactly* like a console without fail for the same price (again, even close in price).
Until then I'll consider y'all wrong as I did before.
You lost the argument long ago, now you just drag the goalposts over the field.
Just weak.
This is literally the main reason why I console game and don't really game on my PC. Even though I have gaming PC as well. That is why I love game pass and the synergy between gaming on my Series X and my PC when I want too.. So, at the end of a 10+ hour day typing stuff and making calls, sitting at the computer to play games sounds terrible.
So you`re telling me that I have to "prove" to a wannabe IT guy that WOL exists, that steam has a "big picture" function and ITX builds are a thing...when all of that is literally 3 seconds away from a Google/YT search and/or has been around for 10+ years.Yet another reply from you with zero examples.
Prove the shit you're talking or admit you're just full of shit.

Uh-huh.
Talk about a seriously sore loser......
I´ll consider looking for a YT vid if you post a video where you hop over your sound equipment to reach that magical "big ass" hot air spewing PC behind your drywall......Either show some examples of the magical "PC that is just like a console and performs just as well and fits in an entertainment center for a reasonable cost" or fuck off somewhere.
because he'd rather buy a locked down and less powerful machine because playing that doesnt remind him of excel and powerpoint!!!!Why not hookup your gaming PC to your TV?
Enjoy the console man, There are a large number of Series S haters here. ( Xbox in general to be honest).

You´re just a troll and not even a funny one....
Oh man, I hope all these people are trolls. Otherwise NeoGAF is just a playground full of 12 year old console warriors running amok. Imagine being over 12 years old and post the shit we see for months. Duality, bitterness, just overal negativity. Everyone trying to throw shade and one up the *other side*. I have a feeling most of them are 25+ in age. Fucking sad.

Looking for a YT vid? But you have all the answers!
Where's your build? Oh wait, you were talking out of your ass and don't have one?
Yeah, that's what I thought.
If you thought I´d post private pictures on an internet board to prove that features that have been standard for a good decade "exist" while 3rd party material is plastered all over yt then you`re even dumber than I thought...and that`s quite a feat at this point.
He can't help but be that guy. He's in love with a corporation.don't be that guy
