E3 was never a show for gamers, but for businesspeople. I went to E3 once, and all the best stuff was behind closed doors and you needed to make an appointment to see it.

That said, I did get to play PS Vita and WiiU six months before they came out, so that was nice.

I’ve been playing it for about an hour. I feel like there’s a really fun game in here, but I am struggling to find it. I like the cutscenes, humor and art style though.

Xbox Series S is my little travel buddy. I keep it in my car, it goes wherever I drive. I bought the xScreen for it, and wherever I happen to be at, I can unpack it, plug it into power and play full-fat Xbox Series games. I've played it on buses and planes, in hotel rooms, at pinball tournaments when waiting for my turn, and more.

Meanwhile, my Xbox Series X stays at home, where I can play it on my 4K OLED TV and Dolby Atmos home theater system. I bought a 2TB Storage Expansion Card where most of my games are stored. When I leave for somewhere I know I will probably play my Series S, I simply take the storage card, so I have all my games on the go. If I forget to bring the card, well there are enough games stored directly on the Series S to tide me over. Cloud saves means my game progress follows me around, so I don't have to worry about that.

The only problem with using Series S this way is that it doesn't remember the time or wi-fi networks when it isn't plugged in. Every place I use it, I have to spend 5 minutes setting up the wi-fi and installing the latest system updates before I can play, which can take some time if the wi-fi is slow or unreliable.

Bottom line: Series S delivers the full-fat Xbox Series experience in a sweet little package. I have every bit as much fun playing it as I do playing my Series X.

Basically every Forza Horizon title screen ever.

1. Sony can't afford Konami
2. Sony doesn't want anything to do with the casino business.

I'm just laughing at all you PS5 fanboys trying desperately to redefine "portable". 🤣

It's OK guys. Maybe you'll get a PS5 Slim in 3-4 years.

I think the word you are looking for is "handheld", not "portable". All handhelds are portable, but not all portables are handheld. Game Boy is a handheld. Steam Deck is handheld. Nintendo Switch can be handheld, off the dock and with joycons attached. This is not handheld, but it's still portable.

The difference now is I've got dozens of games to choose from without having to lug a bunch of discs around.

Streaming to mobile devices requires a robust mobile data connection. This doesn't. I can play full-fat Xbox games on a plane with this. Perfect for a cross-country or transatlantic flight.

@pyro1245: According to the people who make the xScreen, it draws a max of 80w.

This picture right here represents everything that makes Xbox such a great platform right now.

• Xbox Series S: Super small and light. Add xScreen to make it a top-notch portable gaming rig.
• Burnout Revenge. Classic game. Cloud saves means my save file is right there. And I have all the newest games: Forza Horizon 5, Halo Infinite, Pinball FX3, Control, etc. Any game I can play on my Xbox Series X, I can play on this.
• Not shown: 2TB Xbox Storage Expansion Card. Holds all the games I care about. Unplug from my Xbox Series X at home, plug into this, play instantly. No downloads, updates or transfers. When I get home, plug it back into my Xbox Series X and keep playing. No screwdrivers required.
• Also not shown: headphone jack in the controller means I can play this even in quiet environments, such as a train or a plane. Can you play your PS5 (or any PlayStation console) on a plane (not counting PSP or PS Vita)?

I literally keep this in my car and take it everywhere I go. Whenever I have time to kill and I can find a power outlet, I can set this up in a minute or two and play Xbox. Quick Resume still works, so I can close the lid (it shuts off the Xbox automatically) whenever I want, then come back later and continue right where I left off. Try doing that with your PS5.

I'm seriously in love with this thing. It's just perfect.

It's only a matter of time before Sony decides to prop up its flagging PS+ Premium subscription numbers by releasing a first-party title exclusively on it. Nobody is going to subscribe to PS+ Premium as it is; most people will stick with PS+ Extra at best.
