Now's a great time to go ahead and join the club, especially since you can get an Xbox Series S cheaper than you'll find at retailers like Amazon and Walmart over at Dell.

The Series S isn't as powerful as its sibling, the Xbox Series X, but it's every bit as capable when it comes to running the Xbox games you want to play. It doesn't come with a disc drive, so you'll have to play digital-only titles, but it's small and compact enough to fit anywhere without having to finagle your space to accommodate the Series X's mini fridge-like shape.

This smaller version is still no slouch, with 10GB of RAM — 8GB of it running at 224 GB per second, and the other 2GB running at 56GB per second — to assist with graphics and processing. It also has a 512GB SSD so it can hold a variety of larger games without you needing to install and uninstall titles regularly. It can render games at 1440p with support for 4K upscaling and offers 60fps, with up to 120fps at that resolution.

All that to say, the Xbox Series S is still a great option if you want to play games like Starfield, and this is your sign to finally grab one.
