I was really looking forward to the new Microsoft flight simulator only to find it’s only on the x or s series consoles. Is it time to ditch the Xbox one and upgrade? . It seems impossible to get a series x unless I pay scalpers prices in trade me. There are plenty of S around but hate the fact it’s digital only. What are the benefits of an s over an x and will we ever see an x this side of Christmas in NZ?

The S is under powered, can't take discs and you will need to buy external storage far quicker than you will with an X...

See if stores like EB Games will put you on a waiting list? I put money down on one before last Christmas and my X turned up on the 23rd of December :-)

There have regularly been Series X in stock at various of the larger retailers incl Mighty Ape.

The x does look good I just read on a gaming forum Harvey Norman may have some series x in November. I am thinking of switch as well but disappointed the new one coming out is not 4k

I saw stock at one of the retailers a few weeks ago. Was snapped up pretty quickly though.

bugger hopefully there is some in stock soon looks amazing. A bit of a shame as I really enjoy the Xbox one but I guess it’s on the way out if games are not released for it
