I know for a fact that you guys don't copy each other but the fact that this isn't even the first time linus uploaded something and the very next day austin uploads basically the same video is fucking crazy
@@ashtonking3412I’d wager yes. I was in the Navy 20 years ago and we stopped at Bahrain and Dubai on deployment. Dubai was great as there were a ton of modestly priced pirate games which played well. I bought a Pokémon Ruby cartridge for my GBA. Played well though it was an obvious fake - had an extra screen at boot up thanking some non-Nintendo people and was embossed with “Nintondo” on the back, lol.
The Xbox Series S is such an underated little powerhouse and the ability to take it for travel in a small bag and plug and play out the bag is a hidden gem thee days.
You guys realize these videos are written, filmed and edited days or weeks before they are uploaded, right? Just because two creators upload similar videos close to the same time doesn't mean they copied or ripped off the other.
Can be. I paid around $450 for my PC , i9 9900k and rx 6800 16gbvram 32gb ram, all parts were used and I built it myself. With my setup I can play any game I want ultra settings 60+fps 1440p EASY. It's not the highest end pc but really any extra performance will definitely not be worth the price/performance ratio. I'm sure for $750 I could build something "high end" lol.
I do. If I can get it physical I go for it. Everyone knows digital depends heavily on internet and subscription. At the end you can always sell physical, good luck selling them digital ones.
I watched this video to the end as I wanted to see what came top of the list I had an inkling it would be the series S as I own one and find it unbeatable value for money. It’s fast fluid small silent and runs all next gen games without a hitch, it deserves the top spot and is a must have for any gamer.
The only problem with Games Consoles is that you not only have to pay for the consoles itself, but also pay for the always online Internet connection, pay for their crappy subscription services and pay for all games, where, with the PC, you just buy a pre-built, or build it yourself, and you can game on it straight away. No subscription costs, no always on internet connection and 1000's of free games which can come from anywhere and not just the propitiatory store than the companies force you to use.
I actually have a $1200 pc. Well. More like $1000 without the monitor. I can play 4k ok mostish games playing around with the settings. I still prefer my xbox series x over it. It's just so much more convenient, so much more faster. Just turn on and play, it has the quick resume feature which means I can leave single player games running up to like 5? Even if the xbox is unplugged they stay opened. Gamepass is great too, so I don't really replay many games if any. So the fact that there are like +450 games I can try out in gamepass. Idk it's just me but I prefer it over my pc
But here's the kicker. The complexity of a PC is it's biggest weakness. Majority of people who just wants to play games doesn't want to deal with PCs' intricacy. They just want to buy/download a game and press play. No BS tweaking of settings and dealing with a crap ton of settings just to make the most out of your investment. Not to mention, most console games that were ported to the PC are buggy especially at launch. That's why in my opinion, as much as I love my gaming PC, it would never be the "de facto" "master race" when it comes to gaming.
I know everyone is comparing this to LTT's video from yesterday and while they may be similar in shape, they are wildly different on content. Linus did a great historic ranking that is mostly accurate, while Austin did a pretty fair value ranking for right now. Great work for both.

You can use the Ally's analog for navigating Windows like a mouse; it's not that difficult-RB and RT act as left and right click. Personally, I haven't used my touchscreen for navigation with my Ally, so I'm not sure why some people find it difficult. Perhaps they're just biased, but that's just my opinion though. Another point to consider is that the Ally can play all games without a problem, including modern AAA games at 1080p 120hz with VRR, so I believe it deserves to be in the A tier. If the Deck is on tier A which has weaker processor and has limitations in games and only has 800p Ally should be on A as well or even S tier since it can do more. Gamepass, Epic games, Steam games and other more

The ROG Ally Z1 extreme is an everything machine. Its a handheld, its a desktop, its a switch. It has everything. On the expensive side but you cant get anything more versatile (also the Legion GO)
I remember a decade ago when VR headsets cost 1,000$ and had to be used with a 2,000$ PC. Now we have a 200$ all in one experience, and that's actually insane.
Got an Ally, the SD driver in Armoury Crate is heavily outdated, getting the newer driver direct from the vendor fixed all my sd card issues. I think people ran with the heat idea too quickly because the Deck's reader often reaches the same temps during heavy use and is fine
Switch OLED is now a great deal In my country, it has been permanently marked down to $248 (converted to USD from my currency) for a year now down from its $350. I upgraded to a Switch OLED a week ago and I got an additional price cut for it, got it for roughly $235 brand new, directly from a local game store. So yes, that follows for the other two switch models, with the Switch lite being permanently marked down to roughly $157. But, considering that the Switch OLED has been significantly marked down in my country, with it now being cheaper than the Switch V2’s original retail price, I’d say for me its the best Switch to get in my country.
@@tmclaughlin11 yup, tech UA-camrs should be more conscious and at least mention that prices may vary depending on your country and to check for deals. Cause many people will just take whatever they say at face value and may not know or first research on awesome deals in their area.
As a Rog Ally and Steam Deck owner, I would have switched them on the tier list.Yeah, Windows is not great on an handheld console, but it offers a more complete and less closed experience. I haven't used the Deck since december, which is the month I got Ally.
Also, it has developing tools that allows you to help make your own games that could be published on the system as well. Something of which I’m not doing, but I am aware of ..you still an old man.
Where can you get a refurbished Steam Deck for less than $300? Both Valve and GameStop have been completely out of stock in refurbished Steam Decks for almost a year.
@@saravindvikram2454 Better graphics for only a specific games and you will require a Tv that supports 8K to even start seeing the difference and performance is just not that big of a gap to justify for so much money.
I have a ps5. I was away for 2 weeks and they had an xbox series x in the hotel room. After two weeks i can confirm that i couldn't wait to get back to my ps5. So much better. I would never put the xbox in s teir.
As far as the series S being the best deal in gaming you are spot on. A couple of the other options you were a lil too generous with according to value.
The storage isn’t great. Games require lots of storage now in days. If you want to expand it’s going to cost more. At that point you might well get a Series X
You can buy a used Series X for $300-350. THAT is the best option for gaming in 2024. No other option will give you 1440p 120fps natively for that price.
Sometimes, the planets align, and two different tech channels release the same day a console rank fight; now it's our time to decide who we agree with.
The steam deck is C Class. I really want one to replace my ps4 but if you make a gaming system so capable but it still can't play what most people play because of anticheat software it's not an A. All I want is to play COD on my bed. And I want the best hardware. Steam deck is the best but if I can't play what all my friends play and I'm sure there's other games I can't play on there it's hard to make that commitment
Competitive games are more intended to PC or Console whatever Your excuse is, because it needs highest performance it could for the peak fps and response time. Steam deck intended for single player games where You play at your own pace. Not to mention in handheld You sacrifice performance for battery longevity, what? You can just plug the charger when playing? Then why You dont buy console or PC as You lose the portability
@@juotaPortability means the ability to easily moved or carried. Meaning it can easily be put in any bag because it is small and light which a console and a PC cannot do. Can you bring it overseas, in hotel, in cruiseship, or if your on a long vacation? The fact that the deck cannot play all games makes it below the ally if you ask me.
@@nathanjuan6042 Imagine being on a long vacation or cruiseship but dont want to enjoy the vacation, instead wanted to play games. What a waste of vacation money. What? "I want to enjoy play my games while I'm on vacation". Bro Staycation exist
@@juota Why can't I go back to my room after strolling? Do I have to stay outside for 24 hours? Also seaman, overseas workers, international students, flight attendants, and pilots do exist, in case you didn't know. And what about people who lack enough space in their homes for a desktop PC, or those living in dorms or small apartments, or those who want to have vacations with family overseas? The fact that you need a desktop to play all your games because the Deck lacks power or runs on Linux is already a significant drawback. In contrast, the ROG Ally doesn't require a desktop because it can handle all games and in 1080p. Why settle for less when you have a better alternative?
@@nathanjuan6042 Bro, You missed the part where OP comment wants to play COD which is competitive games Also those job You mentions needs high focus so it's unlikely they play competitive games. Not to mention if You have those jobs You might not have time to skill-grinding in-game, they're more likely to play casual or AAA games, let alone knowing games to play. I mean what's the percentage of those people with those jobs is avid Competitive Gamers. Next is if You dont have space for PC, instead of wasting money for building first, You can work harder to afford a bigger apartement so You have space. It's called priority. Enjoy ROG Ally while MiniPC Exist
Series S is actually a great deal. People are upset that the cheapest console is the better deal, a lot of people don’t buy physical games anymore (just look at pc users). Game pass is a deal too
"I Play Racing Games" There is a statement close to my heart. The OG Xbox was the best racing games machine. Not for quantity but for quality and IP variety. Midtown Madness 3, GTAs, Project Gotham, Forza, NFS, SRS, Burnout, Midnight Club, Collin Mcre and so many more
Personally, I absolutely *love* the Series S in concept, but it just doesn’t work for me when I need backwards compatibility with my Xbox 360 DVD’s and I don’t have the money to re-purchase my games or buy a subscription. The slight upcharge for the Series X or PS5 is absolutely worth it for people like me, and I’m telling you that you won’t regret it, especially if you travel a lot and migrate TV’s.
I totally agree on the series s being S tier, it's such a good deal considering it drastically lowers the entry point cost for playing modern games , if I didn't have a 4k tv would have happily gotten the series S instead of an X
Putting the PS5 In A tier and not S tier!! lost complete respect for this channel it is Miles Beyond any gaming console out right now the remote control alone is way above and beyond any other controller on the market for consoles you guys are falling off HARD 😂😂
Where are the Chinese linux handhelds? They use arm chips like the switch (only much faster ones) for good battery life but run linux like the steam deck and are priced to compete with the switch lite despite being way faster and modern. Anbernic RG552 for linux ANBERNIC RG556 for android
The reason I've been considering going for an Xbox (I currently only own a PS4 and PS3) is to go for the huge list of backwards compatible games. I want to be able to go to my local used game shop, find a bunch of older Xbox games that I never got to play (or haven't played in years), and buy them on disc. So the fact that the Series S has no disc drive is a deal breaker for me. I would want to go for a Series X, but I would probably have to get a used one, since the prices for new still won't go down. Switch Lite could also be a good choice for me.
The Xbox series S does not have a disc drive to play movies so you would have to buy a separate DVD player in order to do that when the Xbox series x has a DVD player Blu-ray built into the consul. I say this because I use movies on my Xbox series X.
Bruh, not everyone watches movies on their console. It's a GAMING console. Plus he's not taking that into consideration, he's talking about the best deal for gaming. Personally I've never ever bought a movie physically. And I haven't bought a physically game disc since 2017. And I know a lot of people who haven't either. And if you just care about being able to play with no problems. The S is the best deal. Although I do care about visuals so I did get an X
Series s, with an attachable screen, makes it the best ever. Not only is it super portable, but you don't even need a TV to play games. I'm booting up Dragons Dogma 2 from my hotel room and only the console is plugged in. It's kinda awesome.
Meh. The extra $150 for OLED is so worth it, though. Larger screen, better contrast. Plus you can dock it if you want. If you’re only looking at playing portable and can’t/don’t want to spend that extra then sure..
It's okay if linus did it too. It's not about who did it as well. It's about personal positions and ideas along with considerations by each party. There may be something you like about the original xbox, and something else linus likes or doesn't happen to mention about it that brings more entertainment or interest to the audience and from the audience.
Unless absolutely want to play games made in the last decade, mini PC's are becoming a great deal. For the price of a modern console, can play a near endless amount of PC and console games. May require some tinkering, but there plenty of tutorials to create a small and affordable gaming machine.

Also, it has developing tools that allows you to help make your own games that could be published on the system as well. Something of which I’m not doing, but I am aware of ..you still an old man.
Funny this came out a day after the LTT video, lol
"Switch Lite can play the same games as the regular Switch"
Lie detector test results determined that is a lie.
Steamdeck is s tier you can fight me on that
A tier its running Linux
@@Spiritwonder420it’s more polished then windows
yea Steam Deck S tier
If s tier means shit I fully agree
@@Thelegendhimself91 I think he’s just trying to make himself hate the Steamdeck because he wasted him money on another handheld and regrets it lol
GT7 being the "killer app" is the most Austin thing lmao. It's definitely Spider-Man 2 for now, and it will be GTA VI next
good video watched the whole thing👌🏻
Where can you get a refurbished Steam Deck for less than $300? Both Valve and GameStop have been completely out of stock in refurbished Steam Decks for almost a year.
why not android phones ?
Bruh.
Apple is way better for gaming
Android not run windows and pc games
Austin looks like a diehard Xbox fan
I can’t believe you put the depression box in S-Tier
And no I’m not saying that because of the graphics
9:13 „its not that its the worst, except that it is“
Im taking a 💩 right now
SAME BRO
Ha! Same here!
Same here
Rookies I'm on my 9th of the day
@@Thelegendhimself91 2nd for me
Heyy bro, bit confused on buying PS5. Can u tell me if I need to wait for PS5 pro or go with the slim or the OG model
A slim is more than enough and the pro is just not worth it.
@Warzsun but it has better graphics and performance right?
@@saravindvikram2454 Better graphics for only a specific games and you will require a Tv that supports 8K to even start seeing the difference and performance is just not that big of a gap to justify for so much money.

What happened to the Series X?
It's on top i guess along with XBOX Series S
Did he really put a xbox over a pc and ps5. Austin be sniffing too much fumes
It is for the convenience of having cheap next gen experience
He's got Microsoft money that's why
xbox is way cheaper than ps5 and pc
I have a ps5. I was away for 2 weeks and they had an xbox series x in the hotel room. After two weeks i can confirm that i couldn't wait to get back to my ps5. So much better. I would never put the xbox in s teir.
Xbox series S? 🎉
Yep
Austin Evans, great content dude
As far as the series S being the best deal in gaming you are spot on. A couple of the other options you were a lil too generous with according to value.
The storage isn’t great. Games require lots of storage now in days. If you want to expand it’s going to cost more. At that point you might well get a Series X
We finally got a somewhat "Hey Guys, this is Austin". I'm happy. haha
You can buy a used Series X for $300-350.
THAT is the best option for gaming in 2024. No other option will give you 1440p 120fps natively for that price.
Sometimes, the planets align, and two different tech channels release the same day a console rank fight; now it's our time to decide who we agree with.
The steam deck is C Class. I really want one to replace my ps4 but if you make a gaming system so capable but it still can't play what most people play because of anticheat software it's not an A. All I want is to play COD on my bed. And I want the best hardware. Steam deck is the best but if I can't play what all my friends play and I'm sure there's other games I can't play on there it's hard to make that commitment
Competitive games are more intended to PC or Console whatever Your excuse is, because it needs highest performance it could for the peak fps and response time. Steam deck intended for single player games where You play at your own pace. Not to mention in handheld You sacrifice performance for battery longevity, what? You can just plug the charger when playing? Then why You dont buy console or PC as You lose the portability
@@juotaPortability means the ability to easily moved or carried. Meaning it can easily be put in any bag because it is small and light which a console and a PC cannot do. Can you bring it overseas, in hotel, in cruiseship, or if your on a long vacation? The fact that the deck cannot play all games makes it below the ally if you ask me.
@@nathanjuan6042 Imagine being on a long vacation or cruiseship but dont want to enjoy the vacation, instead wanted to play games. What a waste of vacation money.
What? "I want to enjoy play my games while I'm on vacation". Bro Staycation exist
@@juota Why can't I go back to my room after strolling? Do I have to stay outside for 24 hours? Also seaman, overseas workers, international students, flight attendants, and pilots do exist, in case you didn't know. And what about people who lack enough space in their homes for a desktop PC, or those living in dorms or small apartments, or those who want to have vacations with family overseas? The fact that you need a desktop to play all your games because the Deck lacks power or runs on Linux is already a significant drawback. In contrast, the ROG Ally doesn't require a desktop because it can handle all games and in 1080p. Why settle for less when you have a better alternative?
@@nathanjuan6042 Bro, You missed the part where OP comment wants to play COD which is competitive games
Also those job You mentions needs high focus so it's unlikely they play competitive games. Not to mention if You have those jobs You might not have time to skill-grinding in-game, they're more likely to play casual or AAA games, let alone knowing games to play. I mean what's the percentage of those people with those jobs is avid Competitive Gamers. Next is if You dont have space for PC, instead of wasting money for building first, You can work harder to afford a bigger apartement so You have space. It's called priority. Enjoy ROG Ally while MiniPC Exist
Yeah I was right, I specifically sought out the 1TB Series S 2 months ago because it's the best bang for your buck.
we just ripping off linus now? 👀
Considering the time it takes to produce a video, this was likely being created before Linus put his video out.
@@MyUsualComment ik lol
@@MyUsualComment probbably but linus probbably made his first not that it matters
You really don’t know what it takes to make videos and uploads them on YT do you
So weird how Linus just made a console tier list yesterday. Damn tech hivemind
Series S is actually a great deal. People are upset that the cheapest console is the better deal, a lot of people don’t buy physical games anymore (just look at pc users). Game pass is a deal too
"I Play Racing Games" There is a statement close to my heart. The OG Xbox was the best racing games machine. Not for quantity but for quality and IP variety. Midtown Madness 3, GTAs, Project Gotham, Forza, NFS, SRS, Burnout, Midnight Club, Collin Mcre and so many more
one hour gang
👇
Personally, I absolutely *love* the Series S in concept, but it just doesn’t work for me when I need backwards compatibility with my Xbox 360 DVD’s and I don’t have the money to re-purchase my games or buy a subscription. The slight upcharge for the Series X or PS5 is absolutely worth it for people like me, and I’m telling you that you won’t regret it, especially if you travel a lot and migrate TV’s.
Austin looking like his bubble was bust 16:30😂
XBOX team ->
They hate on us for that and they hate on me just like I my type of console
Day one ps5 disc and day one series x here with an oled switch also but that's irrelevant
The Xbox is so mid
Here sir
I'm watching this on my Moto G power 2022 and It's 2024 and my beloved smartphone is still running like it just came out in 2022.
Ps>xbox
I totally agree on the series s being S tier, it's such a good deal considering it drastically lowers the entry point cost for playing modern games , if I didn't have a 4k tv would have happily gotten the series S instead of an X
Putting the PS5 In A tier and not S tier!! lost complete respect for this channel it is Miles Beyond any gaming console out right now the remote control alone is way above and beyond any other controller on the market for consoles you guys are falling off HARD 😂😂
Where are the Chinese linux handhelds? They use arm chips like the switch (only much faster ones) for good battery life but run linux like the steam deck and are priced to compete with the switch lite despite being way faster and modern.
Anbernic RG552 for linux
ANBERNIC RG556 for android
This isn't drag racing... $499.99 is $500... Not "$400".
IPhone and Gaming ?
Feels unholy to have them in one sentence 😂
I love Ken’s just abrupt and formal comment. “I think the only downside for me for pc is league of legends”
“Double the pleasure double the fun! Linus and Austin Evan’s are like double mint gum!”😅
the music at 16:13 is the Waveform Podcast Trivia Music!
The reason I've been considering going for an Xbox (I currently only own a PS4 and PS3) is to go for the huge list of backwards compatible games. I want to be able to go to my local used game shop, find a bunch of older Xbox games that I never got to play (or haven't played in years), and buy them on disc. So the fact that the Series S has no disc drive is a deal breaker for me. I would want to go for a Series X, but I would probably have to get a used one, since the prices for new still won't go down.
Switch Lite could also be a good choice for me.
The Xbox series S does not have a disc drive to play movies so you would have to buy a separate DVD player in order to do that when the Xbox series x has a DVD player Blu-ray built into the consul. I say this because I use movies on my Xbox series X.
Bruh, not everyone watches movies on their console. It's a GAMING console. Plus he's not taking that into consideration, he's talking about the best deal for gaming. Personally I've never ever bought a movie physically. And I haven't bought a physically game disc since 2017. And I know a lot of people who haven't either. And if you just care about being able to play with no problems. The S is the best deal. Although I do care about visuals so I did get an X
I want a VR set, but like none of the games seem good
The $300 series s gets a constant 120 fps in fortnite compared to my $1000 gaming laptop which gets 30 fps in fornite😶🤐
Series s, with an attachable screen, makes it the best ever. Not only is it super portable, but you don't even need a TV to play games. I'm booting up Dragons Dogma 2 from my hotel room and only the console is plugged in. It's kinda awesome.
GamePass + phone does this better
The switch lite is soooo underrated. Yes it has its flaws but come on now, it’s still awesome
Meh. The extra $150 for OLED is so worth it, though. Larger screen, better contrast. Plus you can dock it if you want. If you’re only looking at playing portable and can’t/don’t want to spend that extra then sure..
@@tmclaughlin11 the $150 more is worth it, I’m just saying that the switch lite is underrated cause it is still a great console
It's okay if linus did it too.
It's not about who did it as well. It's about personal positions and ideas along with considerations by each party.
There may be something you like about the original xbox, and something else linus likes or doesn't happen to mention about it that brings more entertainment or interest to the audience and from the audience.
Austin Tech Tips 💯
Unless absolutely want to play games made in the last decade, mini PC's are becoming a great deal. For the price of a modern console, can play a near endless amount of PC and console games. May require some tinkering, but there plenty of tutorials to create a small and affordable gaming machine.
Guys just so you know, even if Austin did copy Linus (which we all should know is not the case) the time to shoot and edit a video takes way longer than the amount of time between LTT and this vid.
9:17 min.: ...................................AHH..........THATS........THATS YOUR DEAL TO GET OVER , AUSTIN .......... HIS NAME IS AUSTIN!!!!
.........................................HAVE YOU TRIED BEER LITE AND FIRES IN A CONTROLLED AREA?
One thing all these consoles lack, and why no matter the PC it will always be S tier is Counter Strike
Linus: *knock knock* Austin, you've been served. See you in court!
