    Default So I bought a XBox One S

    The black friday deal was ok. So I bought one and sold the original Xbox One a few days after.

    Was it worth it? Not really.
    It smaller, Almost as small as the WiiU (I have both side by side).
    It loads and navigate the menu a little faster.
    The power brick is built into the system.
    It is quieter.
    4K Bluray player. The cheapest 4K bluray player is more expensive than a Xbox One S.
    HDR gaming and video.

    So really... it is only worth it if you have a 4K/HDR TV.

    It consumes less power too so your electricity bill will go down. But all in all its the same thing in white plastic.

    Well seen how Crypto Mining has taken over and i cant afford a new GPU at the current asking price, I've decided to jump on the console bandwagon and get me a Xbox One S.

    The struggle of current gen gaming; no one to play with and games not worth playing with anybody because other people only slow you down. It is almost like watching a movie in which you can't move forward unless the other person presses a button. You end up with a tug of war co-dependency situation.

    Ain't that the truth, i tried playing The Division with randoms... it was very painful, everyone doing something else, somewhere else.

    I dont think multiplayer has advanced much since MW3. The games have gotten prettier but I havent seen much reason to pick up an Xbox and play online with other people. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tFToZrd29ew

    For ME in October 2018, the XBOX One S is STILL worth it, as I never owned the original XBOX One / 360.
    I bought the console only for playing Forza Motorsport 7, which it does perfectly well for me.
    I play with a 1080p screen, as I have no interest in 4K
