    For those of us who can’t get ahold of the X the S is a very suitable substitute, especially if you dont have a 4k capable display, does everything the x does minus the disk drive but in this day of digital gaming i find myself less and less worried about a disk drive every single day and as far as storage, expandable memory is so affordable these days its not even an issue. Definitely worth it.

    Nice system. Everything written about this system is accurate. A little difficult to get use to an all digital system. Not sure why there isn’t more apace offered but I suggest getting and external hard drive immediately.

    Great system for a value price definitely worth every penny. Can play system for several hours and no overheating or system shut down. I am a huge Playstation fan but with these new upgrades xbox is giving sony a run for their money!

    If you would like to get into Xbox gaming platform, this is the best entry level gaming console. Good price and very smooth. Only downside is low storage.

    I have a switch oled and it costs more yet not quite as powerful. And I get that Nintendo markets and appeals differently. But this system performs awesomely!

    Great system, graphics are top notch, super fast loading of games as well. Size of the console it's self is cool too, small enough to put anywhere. If you are ok with not have a physical disk drive, this console is perfect for you.

    This console is a fantastic entryway to Game pass and quality HD gaming. It doesn't have as much storage space as the Series X but it's very easy to transfer games from an external storage device if you want to make use of the fast SSD.
