Xbox One X or Series S if I'm on a tight budget?

Found a used one x for less than a new series s. I mostly play older games and game pass. Is the one x still a smart buy or will it age badly?

Series S, and it's not close. The One X is a nice box for older games, but it's last gen. New releases are more and more Series-only, and the S gets them. You also get the fast SSD and Quick Resume, which you notice every single day. Two catches. No disc drive, so no cheap used games, and the 512GB fills up fast. Game Pass covers the first one better than discs would. For the second, either budget for an expansion card later or get used to uninstalling.
