We originally saw this as Adorama's deal of the day last Friday and added it to our
weekly deals recap. For those of us who may have slept on it, they still have units left at the $250 price. </p><p>We
reviewed the Series S when it came out, calling it the next-gen starter pack. Even though it doesn't support gameplay in 4K, it still plays incredibly smoothly. And the console itself is downright adorable. Thanks to the FPS boost technology added to the Series S and X,
older games, including many made for Xbox One, will look and perform better with faster frame rates. </p><span id="end-legacy-contents"></span><a class="athena-button rapid-with-clickid" href="

Either level unlocks a library with hundreds of game to download and play, sort of like Netflix for games. Memberships also grant discounts to many of the titles you might want to buy outright. </p><p>Another caveat to note when comparing the Series X and S, is the Series S has less SSD storage, with 512GB on-board, compared to the 1TB of storage you get with the Series X. If you like to keep lots of titles on hand, without having to delete, you'll have to weigh that preference against the price of the Series X. Seagate does make <a href="
