I’d recommend a Series X even for 1440p unless physical space is a big issue.
Main reason being
- the extra 500GB of ssd
- Ray tracing performance of series s probably can’t hit 1440p 30fps.
- back compatible games enhanced performance.

If you’re getting a series S, you will run out of space very quickly.
Which means you’ll either
1. Get the seagate expansion drive (which will raise the price close to the series X)
2. Get a large HDD and run games from there (At this point, might as well get an older one X).

saw watchdog raytracing performance for series s, the graphics looks dated and the raytracing is like lowest setting in PC raytracing. everything is blurry. i agreed with you, top up series x and u still using it for like 5yrs? the cost is spreaded over 5yrs so still ok la. just tat now series x cant get anywhere sweat.gif sweat.gif

OZ/NZ just launched xbox series. I saw there are good news that they are getting more stock than expected. hopefully same case at singapore side.

I bought within 45 mins of the launch from Qisahn.
They’re only delivering my series x on the 30th of November.
No news of expediting from them.

According to them, the launch model sold out in seconds. Pretty much impossible to get unless you use a bot.

But series S has something better than One X which is kinda trade off also:

1) Quick Resume
2) Faster loading time
3) Small form body

It all depends on which type of user XD
Other than the space issue, we can actually still plug in bigger size External HDD/SSD and run like Xbox One load speed i guess?

What it really miss is the UHD drive sad.gif
That's the huge take down if u wanna watch UHD Blu-ray
*
Quick resume and faster loading time will only apply if you’re using internal ssd or the proprietary seagate ssd. With only 300GB usable space, you’ll only be able to have 4-6 games loaded onto it. If this is enough for you, then Xbox series S will suit you well. If you’ve a fast internet, it helps mitigate this as well.

Of all the three main benefits you mentioned, I think I'll be good without them haha.

There's stock in Amazong SG. Ordered one last night where it says "Released on 10 Nov" instead of "Stock arriving in ... Dec...". Same as XSX but I couldn't decide whether to go for the S or X then gone in a minute.

Yea, right now i think it's enough for me since i also don't have the latest modern TV setup with HDMI 2.1
Those TV manufacturer also kinda messy now with all the standard.

For now just grab Series S then see how PS5 goes in next 3 years.

Who knows Xbox Series X v2 or PS5 Pro will roll out with more stable HDMI connection.
Same goes with TV /Monitor HDMI standard


The ultimate issue now is ... Got console, got game BUT NO TIME to play cry.gif cry.gif cry.gif

Deleting and redownloading games all the time would be a pain I think. At least Xbox Series S/X can copy games to an external drive. Basically when you don't need to play a game, just move it to the external drive. Then when you want to play it, move it back to the internal SSD. I can see myself doing this a lot when I eventually get my Series X next year.

Amazon SG no longer have available series X.
If you click on series X, it’ll say it’s no longer available.
So your series S is shipping today?

Yeah no more stock for X, last night around 11pm it suddenly magically miraculously appeared but then gone in a sec.

I'm not sure if my S is shipping today but it was definitely "released on 10 Nov" so that usually means shipment will be the next day. I'm probably gonna cancel it and purchase from a local retailer which surprisingly still has 2 more units left haha.

My first proper console was the first PlayStation back in 1999. Since then I have Dreamcast, Saturn, PS2, PS3, PS4, Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox One. Not counting my Steam / Origin / Uplay / Epic games library. I've made my peace that I will never finish all my games, not in this lifetime haha. So I just play when I feel like it, then I move on to the next. I barely finished any games on current gen. I literally can count on just one hand the number of games I finished.

Yeah it sucks bro. And here I was thinking it's not too bad waiting for 2nd batch. Who knew we would need to wait until February 2021. Or could be even longer. Who knows.
