    This system is a better deal than having to buy a newer tv to get the most out of the xbox X.

    Nice console. Very fast. Storage is obviously short but you can fit a fair amount of games in with the storage

    2K gaming at a very reasonable cost. Combine with more storage and a game pass and you're all set.

    Great system. Only wish it had more space. Def pay up and get the X or PS5. Overpay, it’s worth it.

    If you need a new console at a cheap price, the Series S is a good choice, but the lack of storage space is disappointing. With games continuing to have larger install sizes, you really wish this came with 1 TB of storage.
