Is it worth it?
I’ve had the OG Xbox One since the year it came out. I love it and it’s done me a great service over the years, but I feel like it’s time for a bit of a performance upgrade!!
I don’t play Xbox enough to warrant spending the money for a Series X, and don’t really have the interest in doing so, I don’t play on a 4K TV, I’m happy with 1080 or 1440 which is the limit of my screen anyway. Most if not all of the games I play regularly are downloads anyway, I can’t remember the last time I put a disk in my console.
Is the Series S still a big enough jump to warrant it? I just like the sound of the increased performance and graphics, not to mention having an FOV slider and 60fps on Destiny 2 lol
Plus for £250 it really is not that expensive in my opinion!
XBOX SERIES X Starting at $34.99/mo. XBOX SERIES S Starting at $24.99/mo.
