@Yosheel Yeah, I noticed that custom controller too. They haven't mentioned anything about it, though. Maybe tomorrow. As for S vs X: why wouldn't you? Don't want to cost you any extra cash, but even if you don't have a 4K TV, the X still offers plenty of advantages over the S, so why not dive in all the way?
'The console wars are like boobs: Sony and Microsoft fight over which ones look the nicest and Nintendo's are the most fun to play with.'
I want to be responsible with my money and buying an S is already a big invesment. I don't have a 4k tv, and don't plan to buy a large quantity of big demanding games.
The one way I would buy an X, is if it somehow goes on discount for less than the S during this sales season. (here in Mexico)
Ehh that was really a bit disappointing. I wasnt expecting E3 Jr like some were but really nothing there to warrant a presser imo. Hope we get more substantial stuff later.
@Yosheel Ah, okay, fair enough. Just for your information; the advantages of the X don't stop with it being a 4K console, nor do you need "big demanding games" for it. Even on a bog standard HD TV, the advantages are much faster loading times, super sampling (which also offers superior visuals on non-4K TV's), and better graphics and better performance on backward compatible titles.
And needless to say, that due to it being the premium model, it's own titles also run better on the X than on the S. If the X was priced what it will be now on Black Friday (back when I bought mine), I would have bought that instead of the S, but last year, it was still almost $500, so I bought the S instead. But regardless of that, I do recognize the benefits of the X, and I also don't own a 4K TV, but I still want an X regardless...
And after all: that HD TV is going to break down at some point anyway, and by then, there will only be 4K TV's anyway, so one will arrive in this household eventually anyway...
@Yosheel Minecraft? Really? Never got into that game, nor do I understand the attraction, but to each their own,
I guess. I always had trouble with my nephew loving that game, while simultaneously hating on older games that
I liked to play, because they looked "ugly and blocky" to him.
Needless to say that I pointed out to him that his beloved Minecraft was the epitome of blocky, but for some reason, he chose to overlook that simple fact...
@Yosheel Oh, I'll grant that it looks cool, but seeing as I don't have any affinity for the game whatsoever,
I could never be persuaded to buy a Minecraft-themed console. I like my consoles plain...
That controller, though, is another story altogether. I've bought several custom controllers for multiple consoles so far, so that could still be interesting, much like that Mexican-themed controller...
'The console wars are like boobs: Sony and Microsoft fight over which ones look the nicest and Nintendo's are the most fun to play with.'
I also low key really want the Minecraft-colored S. (It basically features my favorite colors all around).
So if they don't go on sale on Amazon this year, I might just go for that.
If Minecraft is the reason you can always get one or two Minecraft controllers anyway, the lovely Pig or the cool Creeper. I am not a huge fan of the game and I like both controllers.
