jerseystyle Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 (edited) So the only Microsoft system I’ve owned was the 360, which I really liked. Since then it’s been Switch and PS4. Seeing the cost of the Series S and hearing about Gamepass, I’m tempted. Thoughts? Pros/Cons? FYI, I am pretty much all digital at this point for gaming, other than the Evercade.

Punisher5.0 Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 They are by far the most obtainable of the next gen systems and the cheapest way to get Ray Tracing and 120 fps. The downside would be the small storage but what do you expect for 3 bills. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldSchoolRetroGamer Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 Everything Punisher5.0 says above and also it is one hell of an emulation box for the price as well. So if you are into older or retro systems you are really going to love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 The only Xbox I've owned previously was a 360. I recently picked up an Xbox X, there are a ton of games available via Game Pass, and quite a bit in there I'd like to play. Seems if you don't want to own physical games and you don't mind paying a monthly subscription, having the Game Pass alone should keep you busy for quite some time. ..Al 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+5-11under Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 One of my kids has a Series S. His friends used to have PS4s and PS5s, but they've sold those, and switched to the Xbox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jgkspsx Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 No. If you have physical 360 games you should buy a Series X. That’s what I am going to do when the price comes down a bit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's impressive that you can run physical Xbox, 360 and Xbox One games on the X, which is one of the reasons I wanted the X versus the S. ..Al 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should be able to just log in and download anything you ever bought. At least that’s what I’m counting on… Actually, can you download delisted games? Or only games that are still available?

Atariboy Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 (edited) If you purchased it off the Xbox store when it was available, delisted Xbox 360 and Xbox One content is still accessible to your account. And if it's a delisted 360 game on the Xbox One compatibility list, it will be accessible both on the Xbox One and the Series X/S.

+jgkspsx Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 That’s amazing. Big ups to Microsoft for figuring out how not to screw over their customers. Thank you! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar could fit into one of those. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
