X box series S

Dandytf

Decided to order S Series Play and Charge via Microsoft, which has correct fitting for latest Controllers.
Also includes usb C Cable.

Maybe,  I had thought it was going to push to 4K- seems 1440/1080 are max for S Series.
It's the Digi only - no more plastic boxes is my fav feature.

No more loading times
If you pre order a game and it could be installed when you get home from work.
You can install games via the app on your phone.
Plus others
I see the positives but Id rather stick with a disc drived based system so Im tempted by the Series X, Im anticipating the X will be £450.

Recently found I can't connect LaCie Porsche usb C 1tb hdd.
S Series is usb type A for attaching Drives.(2 A ports on back)
Since ordered usb C TO A Cable from Amazon, arrives in 5-10 days.
From early experience up to 5 games can be installed via S series SSD.

Is x box controller play+charge required.
Yesterday batteries ran low 1st time since launch day.
Thankfully I used existing Battery charger -not sure if x box controller is supplied with re chargeable; batteries, though seemed to work.
Slightly disappointed controller batteries ran low again an hour or two later.
Is this because I connected Steel Series Arctic 3 headphones via 3.5mm Jack to controller.
Does Play and Charge offer any advantage over my existing Battery charger,
thanks

Play and charge can let you play whilst its charging.
Ive got a play and charge but at the minute Im using rechargeables, I try and always have some on charge.

Purchased 4 re chargeables yesterday, before play+charge arrives.
Didn't realise rechargeables claim to last up to 3 years,
Hopefully play+charge isn't a wasted purchase.

Found a usb |C to cable today from an unused PayG charger.
LaCie 1tb HDD recognised and being used for transferring one or two games to free up ssd storage.
