Xbox Series X / S

Hi all

new to this thread, I currently have the PS 4 and I am looking at getting into Xbox for the game pass. I am trying to decide if I should get the Xbox series x or the series s. This might be long but please hear me out.

I currently game on a 46 inch Samsung 1080P TV, I have a 4K tv in the lounge which I could use but not for daily gaming. I know the series x is like 5k more, but if it is worth it for the length of this consoles life then I can save for it. I will be gaming daily on which ever console I get on a 1080p screen for at least the next 6 month to a year. I play mostly Call of Duty and enjoy the driving games as well.

The series S for the price seems good but I don't want to think in like a years time "should have got the series X"

Stock is also an issue with the series x????

I'd go and get a Series S. I have a Series X and my brother has a Series S, and he plays it on a 4K TV, and it might just be me but it still looks amazing. He can play all the games available on GamePass, just like I can so I think this will suit you well. If you want to upgrade to an X later you can always sell your S. There isn't a single game available on the X that is not available on the S as far as I'm aware?

Damn, that Xbox and the controllers look freaking sexy
 
does anyone actually know who distributes the XBOX consoles in South Africa? It would be interesting to find out if they're planning on getting in any of these limited edition consoles.
 

Seriously f Microsoft re Chaosbane :D (Cool game and yes I bought it 2 months back)

Edit: Then again seeing that its one of the few games on Xbox that have dedicated Series & One editions, wonder if they only gonna give the Old version?

Buy Warhammer: Chaosbane Slayer Edition Xbox One | XBOX

New face plate for a One S controller, this is for my son. He dropped it so bad the old one was cracked when I took it apart it was in pieces, even the plastic inside was buckled, hence why it doesn't line up.

Yeah doesn’t seem like anyone has them online, but might be worth checking your local Checkers Hyper if you have one. Somerset West had stock last time I was there. They might not go as quickly as the online retailers.

If you can afford an X, get it, 100%
 
There has been restocks the past couple of days in the states.

Hopefully we will also get some restocks soon.

Usually when there is a shipment, it takes a week or 2 to run out of stock, they (usually) don’t bundle stuff with the console like with a lot of PS5 bundles so you’ll just pay 12k.
 
Mystery solved... They giving away the Normal version if you claim Gold via Website:

Not the Series enhanced one....Guess free is still Free.

Also dont know WTF "A World of Keflings" is but that seems to be the SA Xbox game.... as per usual head on over to US site for your copy of Zone of the enders

Looks like BT is expecting stock by 17 Sept. Safe to assume that's when the next shipment will arrive for everyone...
