Is anyone here using the xbox series s? Is it worth buying currently? I read a lot of articles about the series s being weak and not performing well.. Recently they released a 1tb version of the series s and that has gotten me interested in it.

Also I am a little hesitant about buying an xbox again bcs I had two xbox one's (Original fat + one s) die on me over the past few years. Both ended up with the same issues where you click the power button to turn on the console but it beeps and then shuts off in a second without powering on.

What’s your gear? I purchased first a XSS but didn’t really like how it looked on a 4k tv, and after 2,5 years the XSX is rocking perfectly, also I got all the forza games on disc and that’s the only way to play the older ones. But if you don’t use a big 4k tv nor discs and have a strict budget the XSS is not too bad, the speed of loading should be the same and you can enjoy the games anyway

Will be playing on a 1080p monitor. Mainly Forza and other racing games and some other games here and there just to chill with friends.

I do have discs of Forza horizon 2 and 3 both of which aren't available on the xbox store anymore but I guess it's a sacrifice to make.

Well it may be not a permanent sacrifice, if I'm not wrong they're planning to allow external disc drive for XSS in the future

If that's true, it's gonna be great!
