Can you imagine all the kids that want an xbox x series for Xmas and parents end up getting them a series S lol

At that price, a lot of people will impulse buy. I'm not interested at all in the next gen xbox but at £250 I was thinking why not. Then I stood back and thought wait, half a TB isn't a lot, and what will the next gen games look like on this thing. Its a third of the performance of a series X, and under 60% under the ps5. Will they run like shit, look like shit, what features will we miss out on. Am I better off holding back until there is a price drop?

Might be worth as a streaming media hub that happens to play games maybe.

One thing is for sure though, Sony will be thinking wtf unless they can bring the digital down to £300-350 and offer it with a 512gb SDD too. If they can, they will be happy.

I didn't even consider Sony being able to drop the size of the SSD. If they dropped their Digital SSD down to 412 GB (Half the size of their regular SSD), they'd be able to save an additional $50 on manufacturing costs. Not having a disk drive should lower costs and allow them to subsidize thanks to a bigger return on digital sales. So Disk PS5 for $500, and Diskless for $375 to $350, with half the SSD space.

Yeah this build wont last you long.

RDNA 1 vs 2. No ray-tracing, VRS, VRR. Slow AF SSD. Gunk tier PSU. You either go mid or high end on PC. Never low end on a PC if used for gaming or other demanding applications. A $300 Series S is miles better in technology and value.
