Many appreciate the ease of use and fast load times, along with the benefits of Xbox Game Pass. However, some users point out limitations in storage capacity and the lack of a disc drive as significant drawbacks. The console's resolution capabilities also receive mixed feedback.

    Great upgrade option from the standard xbox, does 1440p and games load a lot faster.. plus the quick resume is such a nice feature, also very reliable hardware wise.. only flaw is that the storage space is not that great so id highly recommend the seagate expansion 1tb if you plan to have multiple games downloaded at once

    Very sufficient and much more affordable price than the other popular gaming systems. I find the quality, image, and speed to be a step up from my PS4, im very happy with the quality, until I am able to get my hands on a better system this one will definitely last. Only downfall these downloads take up so much available storage im having to uninstall alot.

    I was apprehensive at first with this purchase but was immediately put at ease. This is great for those of us who skipped the xb1 generation and want the next gen experience while we wait patiently for the series X to finally become available. AAA titles look fantastic with this( but keep in mind it’s still nowhere close to the series x) the modern features like NVME storage are a warm welcome as well. If you’re wanting next gen experiences without the scalper premium then I would suggest this hands down!

    Pros Great price tag to move up to next gen gaming Games play smooth and load times are fast Small sleek design makes it easy to put anywhere Controller redesign feels more grippy No overheating issues standing up or laying flat Cooling fans are quiet even under long play times Cons Get an internal SSD since you’ll run out of space Next gen games can only be played on an SSD Last week the controller disconnected and wouldn’t reconnect to the console it was an easy fix of removing the batteries, shutting off the console, unplugging it, and hooking it all back up

    Very nice console if you aren’t really too keen on playing on a true 4K TV or monitor & do not play a lot of games...key word, not a lot of games, as this console only has 512 GB of internal storage. I only play NBA 2k and Call of Duty and it is perfect. I play on a 1440P monitor and it is beautiful and crisp. Only thing I do recommend is buying the storage expansion card because you will eventually run out of storage if you play more games than I do. I bought the expansion card just to be safe. Overall, very satisfied with the Xbox Series S next generation console.
