The Xbox One S comes with many storage options. The original Xbox One comes with 1TB maximum storage. While that is big enough for many users, some want even bigger storage. But the Xbox One S comes with 2TB storage capacity, which is huge. It also comes in 500GB and 1TB versions which will launch on 23 August 2016.

The Xbox One S comes at a great price too. The Xbox One currently costs $249 and the 500GB Xbox One S will cost $299. For extra $50, you can grab the Xbox One S. So if you’re looking for an Xbox One, we suggest shelling extra $50 and get the Xbox One S. The 1TB Xbox One S costs $349 and the 2TB Xbox One S costs $399. The price is great considering the functions and performance of the console.

Is the Xbox One S Worth it?

Why You Should Upgrade to the Xbox One S

Well, the Xbox One S is indeed a great console at a great price. You should definitely get it, but only if you’re looking for an Xbox One. If you already have the Xbox One without a 4K TV, we suggest you to not get the Xbox One S, only because it is not worth it. Do note that if you want the full performance of the Xbox One, you need a 4K TV too. So if you have a 4K TV, you should definitely get the Xbox One S. It is worth the money over the Xbox One, but in some cases.

So there you have it, these are the reasons why you should upgrade to the Xbox One S. For more articles like this, stay tuned to GeeksULTD.
