    Bought this for my son, aside from needing external storage it works phenomenal. Haven’t seen him much since I got so I know he loves it.

    Its ok. It doesnt look any better on my tb than my PS4, but I can at least Play Halo which is probably the only game I will buy for this system. Otherwise I will continue to play my PS4 inatead.

    Happy with the new Xbox Series S, it’s much faster than my old Xbox. Can’t wait for more stock on the X so I can add to the collection!

    Great system but the remote controller right trigger starts to stick. No real way of openinging and cleaning it. Buy insurance.

    The series S is sleek and compact. The SSD delivers fast load times and the hardware itself provides improved frame rate over previous generation. The only gripe is you can't use the full 512 GB of memory and does not upscale image to 4K.

    It might be small but it packs just as much power as the Xbox Series X. Fun system and can be placed anywhere without taking up muck space.

    Great product. Microsoft has done a great job with making it compact yet well cooled. Loading times are insanely fast compared to last gen.
