Sony is getting a lot of flak for their stealthy approach to PS5 information, but MS seems to be flying under the radar with Series S?
I'm at a crossroads. I have my Ps5 pre-order, but those prices in the UK. £70 a game. Ouchie as Deadpool would say.
And the Bethseda debacle needs no introduction. The day before I was having a WhatsApp chat with a mate and in my own words "No way am I buying a game at launch at those prices unless it's a 50+ game like Skyrim or Fallout". Oops!
So Series S seems more of a perfect buy for me. Gamepass suits my older casual gamer needs. It's small and compact so I can put it on my PC desk and 1080p suits me just fine as I have a 2K monitor and usually play on my 1080p projector.
But I can't help think are MS promising what they can't deliver? Something that powerful in such a small form factor seems too good to be true and apart from the chassis reveal, we've heard nary a whisper about the S model. I fully expected a Digital Foundry tear down by now...
So TechGAF, bias aside, do you think this little box will be able to keep up with the strides of next-gen or be left behind a year or two after launch?
