    It’s an awesome game console, no need to have cds, most games are cloud base or down load, which I prefer is just to down load them or cloud gaming.

    The series s is the best entry level next gen hardware. KNOW what your buying before you buy. Don't complain about something you should've known about before purchase. Thing is solid.

    Smaller than expected works fast. Quick resume has a few glitches but really helps get back in the game quicker. Only downside is optimized games for it, but more keep coming out each day.

    The xbox series X’s little brother is no slouch. I feel comfortable playing the wide array of games available. First person shooters, RPGs, triple A games and indies this thing does it all for a very low and unbeatable price! It also is surprisingly small and easy to store. It’s not heavy but it surprised me by how solid it feels.
