Xbox One X or Xbox One S???

I went off to college this year and didn't bring my xbox one (regular version) with me because my brother still plays it at home. I've had more time on my hands than I thought and I'm really interested in buying my own console to have at school. I don't have a 4k TV and graphics don't mean that much to me so the S sounds appealing due to price. My only concern with this is that I would prefer to get the newer, more powerful system as I would most likely have it for a while. I have enough money to afford both but I am sort of hesitant to drop $500 for a gaming console. What do you guys recommend?

Xbox One S. Don't have a 4K T.V.Don't need a Xbox One X.

Xbox X , with time you can get the 4k TV and enjoy now 60 fps .

I honestly think that if you are on a budget but you don't want a regular Xbox One, get the Xbox One S. If you are a core-gamer and you binge-play a lot, go with the Xbox One X. There is no need to spend more money on something that is irrelevant to you like more specs if you don't game as much as core-gamers do.

xbox one s is half the price (it was 3x less price on black friday went as low as 169€ with games included while one x was 499€.

If you get a pack with some games then one s is a great deal

X is a little more future-proof, but having said that I have an S, love it and will get another S so my kids leave mine alone haha. To be fair to the X, its not just about 4k though, on XB1/S, many games' dynamic resolutions run at 729-940p whereas on the PS4 they run 940-1080p because it is more powerful. The X would obviously fix that, with games that use dynamic resolution hitting constant 1080p/60 FPS. So the argument that the only benefit would be for those with a 4k TV is false. This of course is only a thing if you pay attention to the clarity of your games' resolutions while playing. If your TV isn't even particularly large, even more reason this probably wouldn't be a big enough difference for $200 extra. Though I've also read at least one user here say that the input lag on the X is noticeably better than the S? Apparently they didn't realize how bad it was on the S until they played the X, now they're getting more kills on first person shooters, etc. I don't know about that. I haven't had any problems playing competitively. To that, I say ignorance is bliss.

So ultimately I say S, in your case.

The Xbox One S is cheaper and can still run at 1080p, I recommend the S.

s! value for money!

There's no need to buy the One X unless you have a 4k HDR tv. Unless you plan on spending alot more than $500 for a new setup, just my 2-cents.

Ok just ate my words and got an X. Well, nothing I said wasn't already true, I just had the means to get one so I did. The S is already a fine machine for 1080p displays. For the price, its wonderful, and games do look good. That said, I absolutely noticed a big difference in image quality (texture clarity, lighting, draw distance, etc) even with 4K-enhanced games running at 1080p ("supersampling", what they call the down-scaling method). Like I said earlier, the S doesn't run many games at native 1080p, and the X absolutely does. The games go from looking good to great. So yes, the benefit is there even without 4K. (There are some exceptions - games that I would guess were never really ported well to the XB1 in the first place. Battlefield 4 still looks like jaggy, aliased crap on the X.)

But 4K, good lord. After playing COD WWII, Halo 5, and Titanfall 2 in 4K on the X, I may just move my system permanently into my living room, its that great. One thing that I thought was interesting was that all the "Xbox One Enhanced" games didn't need to download patches for the X, because they were already installed even when I was running them on the S (I keep them on an external hard drive). So I was able to immediately play everything I already owned, no updates required.

you cant go wrong with both consoles

@pc46: Drop the 500 or get yourself a switch so you can play in class.
