Exactly lol! I bought it because it was the only console available for msrp and i needed a replacement for my one S
Yes makes sense it's a good 1080p 60fps machine with a few exceptions here and there I paid 25% more for series X and 50% more for ps5 lolz so anything for MSRP is good

I think it's more to do with a cheap entry point than hardware availability.

This year there's still a lot of PS4/XBO games coming out, but imagine next year when the last-gen has mostly died out .. the Series S will be the cheapest entry point into the next gen, a good, cheap, thing people can buy during the holiday period as a gift or whatever.
Yeah when kids ask parents to buy a new console they would consider a cheaper option some might only think it's only digital Vs disk version in terms of s and X but I think the way Sony did it was so much better just a 100$ difference and kept the same hardware across the board.

I could consider a series s to compliment my series X like for instance keep one system downstairs or throw it in a bag when going to another city as it's extremely portable but all of this is okay for 40-45k a secondy pre-owned system

Anyone here who went for the ultimate edition? I bought the Forza 4 ultimate edition back in the day the DLC cars were just okay and expansion passed were fine too nothing amazing but it was the VIP pass with double credit for wins and wheels pins that helped me get a lot of money in the game but VIP pass alone is quite expensive for what it is. With gamepass it's 45$ and full game is 100$

Nah fam, free standard version via game pass :D

and if they do decide to take it off the service 2, 3 years later, they will do the 'buy any DLC and we'll send you a code for the full game' like they did with FH4.

Lolzz Just finished my purchase of the ultimate add on bundle.....I think the gamepass option is fantastic though and they did that for Forza Motorsport 7 not FH4. Horizon 4 Is still up and kicking I stopped playing a few weeks ago because I had every car in the game that was my main mission and Forza is something that I play every week so I thought it was okay to go all in on this one

Yeah, they did that for FM7, but it creates a precedent right ... now if they ever decide to take FH4 off the service, it'd be expected that they'll do something similar there :p

Yeah but by the time it happens the game is dead and there are no new updates or things coming to it......soon as I knew no more new cars are coming to FH4 I became less interested in completing the weekly challenges and after I got all the cars in the game I stopped playing so it all depends if you play something from the beginning or pick it up when it's dirt cheap and take it from there for some games this is what I do

That is true, and by next year there's gonna be a new Motorsport anyway. But then probably a long wait for the next Horizon, as this team is moving onto developing that Fable reboot.

Hahahaha yes fanboys everywhere after Forza I am unable to play NFS games last was NFS heat and I gave up near the end of the game...PS4 pro 30fps was largely to blame + stupid Cops and nasty evade/cool down mechanics.

Forza horizon and Motorsport are both superior to almost all the other games out there for me the best feature is rewind which is missing in Gran turismo and project cars. It seems an eternity to run 7 laps flawlessly and then around the very end something stupid happens and the whole progress is lost. Forza is a lot more approachable and has something for all kinds and levels of players.

    What is peoples obsession with Battle Royale genre. 6 minutes to find a match, 3 minutes to setup a match, 2 minutes to land, 10 minutes for scavanging maybe 2 3 gunfigts and its over. Multiplayer landscape is looking absolute dogshit.
    I tried playing Apex Legends once. Couldn't find a gun for 5 minutes straight. If I found a gun, I couldn't find the right ammo for it. Got killed fighting with my fists. Uninstalled it the next day.

    After I watched it, I never felt like i watched a show. It was a friggin journey. I got way too attached to Thorfinn and seeing him grow up and find himself and get rid of all the negativity inside of him was just pure bliss.

    With how great cod warzone has translated onto mobile. Mainstream Consoles have lost its value even further. Maybe console gaming was associated with TVs and how TV is not the primary source of media consumption anymore, consoles will lose its 200 million core audiences even further.
