I own both, and I'd say that you're making a mistake. The Series S plays Halo just as well as the X, minus the 4k resolution. But, that is not a factor at all while in-game. In a game like Halo, there's no time to think about the resolution (to say nothing of the fact that 4K is barely noticeable anyway unless you have a giant TV). Also, you can likely buy your Series S at retail right now, then sell it next year for a loss of only $50 or so when you're able to get a Series X. During that year, you'll have been able to enjoy gaming at a much higher level than the 8th gen systems allow. Just the loading time improvement is worth the upgrade. But, there's more than improved loading times. Just get the Series S, dude. You'll love it. In fact, I'd recommend it to anyone that hasn't been able to get a PS5 or Series X. Buy the S, then sell it later (or keep it as a secondary console) when you're able to get your console of choice. It takes the sting out of having to wait. I haven't heard a single person regretting their purchase of an S. |
It is a fair point that I am giving strong consideration too. But I'm backlogged on some ps5 games, so I'm not in a rush. I figure I'll get a xbox next year, what is available is available. I do worry about resolution because I game on a 65 inch TV.
