Xbox Series S Console - Used Like New £167.67 @ Amazon Warehouse

You can use normal external hard drives, and move Series games to internal as and when you need them.
Not like it takes hours to move stuff around.

Just to clarify that bundle does not contain anything extra compared to one in deal.

Hi
Just wondering did it come with a controller or console on its own?

Don't worry about it. Earn it to burn it. 🔥

i did when they last did this but got an xbox s for the sake of it. Havent touched it since i bought it.

Lol. And PC

I'm really confused here, mine arrived no controller or cables/power supply. Chatted to Amazon who said they are not included. Without them it's not a great deal compared to new so i plan on returning. But if other people are getting them it would suggest the person in the chat is wrong. :/

No CD tray but also likely companies will phase out discs soon

External disc drives do not supported by Xbox. But you can connect external hdd altough if you want to play with its games first you should install them onto Xbox built-in ssd. If you buy official xbox supported external ssd thats ok it works flawlessly but not cheap.

This console is discless so if you're talking about disc based games then that's a no. (edited)

@pickledpiggy Was the controller included?

I asked Amazon customer services that question and they said 1 year.

Wow nice! I ordered a Series X to start with from Warehouse...they sent me a set of 5 x 20L boxes...
I then ordered a Series S (decided to save some pennies), and it kept shutting itself down every 2-3minutes even during set up! Amazon made a fuss about the return, then said it a customer refused item and tried to charge me return postage! It was a faulty unit!
I've had plenty of warehouse stuff before and often very good condition and works perfectly, but this experience has left a sour taste.

Maybe for now but it was also an emulation beast in retail mode and then Microsoft nuked retroarch with an online update. If steamdeck ever does the same, there will be tears. It’s still a great price for XBoX series S so heat.

What are the copy speeds from that external HDD? I download at about 100mbps so not sure if an external drive would be worth it?

Awesome thank you for sharing, hoping I’m posting a similar reply tomorrow! Happy gaming

I have a decent gaming PC and a Series S. I seem to play in the Series S a little more. Both are on 1440p monitors.

The drop in quality of graphics doesn’t bother me while playing at all (despite my internal protestations).

A game is a game. If it’s a good game (and if playable frame rates) it’s as enjoyable on a PC, SS, SX or PS5.

People do get too hung up on trying to max everything out.

If a game stopped at ‘V.High’ settings, people would play that. If the same game had ‘Ultra’ settings then people would like to set to that. They would get no more enjoyment out the game either way.

Series S is a great, cheap way to play games and if you have a bit of cash to stack up 3 years of gamepass for under £80 or so, then you are set. I’ve never bought a game for my Series S. My PC gets the odd new game in the sales.

The only problem for me with the S is storage. But I play on the Cloud, have older XB games on an external SSD and I did buy a 512gb expansion with MS Points. (edited)

Requested a phone call, spoke to Amazon Employee and explained situation. She said would you accept a refund, I said it would have to be quite substantial to cover the cost of cables and controller. She said we can offer you a full refund and you don't have to return the item. Moneys not in my account yet but wow.

Yes. It’s like new so will either be sealed and new or slight damage to box. You will get console, cables & controller.

not sure why others are making it confusing and also not sure why you would want to pay an extra £25/£30 for games that are now free to play?

it should mean it's not a bundle. like with a game.

Exactly my setup. I play on the S more, too

To be honest, I’m in a very similar boat to you. I have a PS5 disc console, and I love my PS exclusives but I’m so casual these days that I barely play (and even less so, online with friends).

I did think about selling my PS5, but they’re pretty much selling at a loss second hand (mostly) and I’m pretty hyped to jump back in and play the likes of Ghost of Tsushima 2 in future, as well as some other first party games that may come to fruition.

The way I see it, my PS5 console isn’t costing me any money sitting there (albeit it’s not making me any return on my investment currently). I’m choosing not to renew my PS membership and will focus on GamePass for the time being now that I’ve pulled the trigger on this deal. I guess I could add a month at a time to be savvy with my money and memberships? If you needed the cash for something, you could sell the PS5 but risk buying it back in future?

Oh and I don’t use my console 4K / UHD capabilities, I’m using my 2016 World Cup Sony TV; pretty much just standard HD I think! Blasphemy to many on here…! (edited)

Was this on Amazon too?

Will that mean your friends and family can play on different devices on the same subscription? Currently other profiles can access gamepass via your subscription on the same console (but can only play installed games, not cloud).

Amen to that…

The black version has towards triple the storage space for games in fact.

Still at £150 for someone with no current games or controller this is an absolute steal. Fantastic performance at 1080p and coupled with game pass you are ‘sorted’.
