It's a shame everyone just wants the better console. I have both an X and an S and the S is a great little machine. I can barely tell much of a difference to be honest but then I don't own a high end TV.
Honestly for most people a S is fine. Particularly as a Game Pass machine.
Would be a great machine if:
1) storage was cheaper to upgrade.
2) had an optical drive for my three generations of Xbox games compatible with backwards compatibly.
3) was cheaper.I would jump on the S if it had an optical drive.
Same, any chance they will have external drive in the future?
I would jump on the S if it had an optical drive.
I stopped buying discs when last gen started so it didn't phase me as I have no Xbox One games on disc. Downside being you have to wait for a good sale for a game. But I have such a large pile of shame it's not a big deal
Only if under $200
For under $200 I’d buy it just for Retroarch emulation to replace the raspberry pi.
I didn't think these were hard to find?
Series S isn't really in short supply, especially at RRP. The Series X and PS5 are however.

These are not hard to find at rrp
Available everywhere for this price not a deal
What's the deal?
Sorry didn't know that this is not a deal considering I couldn't find any console yesterday other than old ps4 console.
Admins, feel free to remove this deal.
Yeah this is RRP and they've been generally available for a while now. If this was a Series X then it would be a good notice.
I just checked Harvey Norman is doing register interest for both series S and X
Forget about Series S it's readily available everywhere. No one wants it compared to the Series X and PS5 digital/disk versions
Has been available for far less in the past, $364 during eBay + AfterPay deal: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/634479
I don't see the appeal towards this, it has bugger all storage at only 512gb, and it only does 1440p and not 4k. And you can't run discs!! xbox series X is the only version I think is worth it.
The appeal is a Game Pass machine
Has been cheaper elsewhere using Afterpay and eBay, available everywhere.
or buy it off ebay for around $440ish
no bargain here.449 at target
My Eb and Harvey Norman said they can’t sell these things. I’d buy one for emulation but not till they are cheaper
This should be worth $399 tops. It's less powerful than the older Xbox One X but yet attempts to command a higher price but with much less features.
Also who would buy this at full price when the digital PS5 is $599.
i heard of people trading in an Xbox One X for a Series S!
crazy stuff when you dont know the difference
People who aren’t a fan of Sony.
GPU performance yeah, that's why they're selling it as a 1440p machine when the One X was 4K. CPU side is a very different story, the Zen 2 cores in Series X/S are significantly more powerful than the Jaguar Cores in the One X.
yawn ozrrp blockbuster website
No dice
$349 or GTFO
So how’s the drm policy on the new Xbox? I hear you can’t play physical games unless you’re connected to the internet and verify with Xbox Live first?
worse with series s because NO Disc Drive.
Same as Xbox One. If the game is installed on the primary Xbox, any account can play it (online or offline). If it's on a secondary Xbox, you need to be logged into the owner's account.
Too expensive at $499. Cheaper at Target (delivered to store) and still too expensive at $449, IMO. Been much cheaper before and still too expensive, IMO. Not a deal.
I would be very unlikely to buy an Xbox without optical, given all the disc games we have. If this had decent storage and easy storage expansion, then $400 might be close to reasonable. But when we got the One S 1TB for $170 (a few years ago from Amazon) and plugged in a 2TB external easily, it's very hard to justify throwing this sort of money at MS.
Lol poor soul got smashed with negs.
Nobody wants the Series S. They have been cheaper many times before and they don't sell out- https://www.ozbargain.com.au/search/node/XBOX%20Series%20s%2…
