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.

    Originally i had a playstation 4 pro, and when it kicked the bucket i decided to switch to xbox. I wanted the series x however it was sold out and found this. Overall im super impressed with it. The design, the way it runs. The storage space isn't a issue giving certain games arent big downloads. You can always purchase extra storage if needed. You also cant beat the price for a next gen console. Overall there is no difference between the x and series s. I did alot of reaearch talked to a few friends and there is only a few differences not really a game changer. Im impressed how far xbox/microsoft came. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a next gen console.

    Amazing Little Thing

    I own both a Series X and a Series S. I keep my Series X in my living room where my 4k LG TV that can maximize all its features (True 4K, 120hz). The Series S is kept in my office room attached two one of my 32in Gaming monitors that maximizes at 1440p and over 165hz (The Series S specs are for 1440p and 120hz gaming) which is really what the Series S is built for. The Series S' speed compared to the Series X is about 90% as fast as its older sibling in body about half its size. It's really an engineering marvel to be able to put out the kind of power and features this thing pushes with no noise at all. I recomend investing in the 1tb expansion card and the Microsoft Xbox wireless headphones and you will be impressed.

    I got this Xbox for my boyfriend for Christmas. Originally we got the Oculus but he shouldn’t find any games that interested him. He loves the Xbox though. His favorite game is Madden, but he’s always yelling at it lol. It was a good price compare to other game systems.

    This console may not be the most powerful, have the biggest storage, or run everything at 4k 120fps. What this console is, a surprisingly powerful entry level next generation console. I bought this to hold me over until I could find a series x, but what happened is I enjoyed it so much that while I still will get a series x I'm not in a hurry anymore. The series s is exactly what you think it is. The smaller weaker little brother to the series x. What you don't expect is a console that performs at this level, this smooth, and a few minutes in you forget it is a series s. I spent a few hours last night playing gears 5 at 120fps on series s. Some games if you choose visual mode even run at 4k. Pleasantly surprised and have no regrets.
