    It’s loads fast and does a lot to be very small. Highly recommend if the other next gen consoles are a little too much for its price

    Definitely worth purchasing this item but only at MSRP. To test the speed, loading in to Borderlands 3 and it was significantly quicker then the One S and it runs at double the frame rate from the One S. For this console in particular, it’s really good at what it does which is to run games at 1080p 120hz or at 1440p 60hz. It not ad powerful as the One X but it’s significantly faster then the One X. TL;DR buy this console if your looking into the next generation and want it at a good price.

    Good console, I wish the controller was rechargable but other than that, no complaints. I liked Xbox live, it is easier than the PS store in some ways. I appreciate that they offer many more games on Xbox GamePass. I would buy an xbox again. I prefer the digital/no disc model.

    Although this Xbox S needed for me to upgrade my sons monitor to a 144hz, upgrade his hdmi to 4k and buy him a mini displayport (dk why) even if it’s not required; just for him to not be laggy & get a much better quality. My teen is far more content with his gaming. Hes lovin his Xbox S to the fullest… He stay steady gamin’. all. day. all. night. Fortnite, Apex, COD & other games.

    My first all digital console

    I was very happy to be able to purchase in light of low stock. This is my first all digital platform and I was unsure I would like it, but I do. Game Pass makes for a great playing experience and variety of games. The small profile of the console makes it easy to fit into any setup and the controller, while not vastly different than the previous generation, feels really good in the hand. All in all, I am happy with the Series S and look forward to the ease of access to a growing selection of games.

    The Series S is a great step up from the XBox One not just because of its more powerful processors, which won’t shine until more games come out that fully utilize them, but because of the near elimination of load times. When you play on this console, you spend most of your time actually playing. Coupled with Microsoft’s Game Pass, this console will keep you entertained for a long time.

    If you are second guessing the purchase of a next gen system, don't! Go for it! I can personally say the affordable Series S model has surpassed my expectations. I upgraded to the Series S from a One S and all of my games play better overall. Both online multiplayer and gaming solo has proven to be a more enjoyable experience on this machine with faster load times and much improved visuals. Some feel like I'm playing the game for the first time, it is that big of a difference. Beyond happy with this purchase.
