    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.

    I thought I would miss not having a disk drive. But the switch couldn’t be sweeter. Yes there’s not a ton of memory but with cloud gaming, and 1GB internet speeds you won’t even notice. Great if you have limited space and enjoy traveling. Paired with my G Cloud this thing is amazing !

    Like most everyone else, I have been waiting to to the Series X console, but after over 6 months of waiting and refusing to pay scalpers, I pulled the trigger on this. I originally had the X1X scorpio and I don't really notice any difference in graphics, although I have yet to play a current new gen game, however load times are insanely fast and the true saving grace over the X1X. Still have my eye out for the Series X and will replace this with that. Until then I am happy with this

    I bought this for my boyfriend for Christmas last year and he loved it. He lived out so much that now, one year later, he still plays it every day. This is absolutely the best and most enjoyed gift I've ever given him. I would recommend this to anyone wanting a great game system.
