Title: XBox Series S
Post by: TheNorm on July 03, 2022, 10:09:14 AM
So yes...I've gone to the dark side...well kinda.

I basically snagged this solely to play one game: Microsoft Flight Simulator. If you're asking why didn't I just get a PC that can run this game, well let's take a look at that:

-a laptop that can run this game starts at over a grand, and I already have a laptop that is more than capable of doing the things I need it to do (work on papers, run zoom conferences, DJ).

-a Series S costs $299. a flight stick costs $69 (nice). The optional rudder pedals cost an additional $110 or something like that, but since they aren't in stock at the moment, no biggie.

This console will most likely be my flight game one at this point (Star Wars Squadrons, Ace Combat, and MSFS2020). I'll let you know how it goes.

I too have been mulling the Xbox but the disc version. but so far I am sticking to Switch and Steam :)
