The Xbox Series S Deal: $229.99 at Dell [IGN]
Best Xbox Series S Deal: $229.99
At the current price point, the Xbox Series S costs 54% less than an Xbox Series X. The Xbox Series S does not have quite the processing power as the Series X; in order to maintain a consistent 60-120fps in most games, the default resolution has been bumped down from 4K to 1440p or 1080p, unlike the Xbox Series X, which can play games at a full 4K. The Xbox Series S comes with 512GB of storage, half of the Xbox Series X. The Xbox Series S also does not have a physical disc drive. However, the Xbox Series S can play all of the same games as the Xbox Series X. It’s also backwards compatible with Xbox One games, and there’s no doubt that the Xbox Series S is more than capable of handling any previous gen games. If you don’t have a 4K TV, or you’re satisfied with the fact that you’ll be able to play any new Xbox game, or you feel that the extra $280 you saved could be better spent elsewhere, then the Xbox Series S might be a smarter purchase.
