    Looks nice and I like the slime size. Graphics are beautiful and I like the layout of the home screen. I do wish it had an area for hard copy games, but I guess that what the Series X is for. Too bad those are always out of stock.

    364GB after XBOX OS on here. It's super screaming fast for the price though. Played F1 2020 and it's terrific.

    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.

    Totally worth it especially if you’re on a budget, with Xbox’s game pass subscription it turns this little beast into a gaming monster. Definitely worth the price point especially if you’re shopping for kids.

    Not going to lie. I was very hesitant to buy a new gaming system. It’s the newest system for me since I bought my play station 1, which that timeline isn’t important lol. Even being nervous to pay the amount of money, I went for it. I’m so happy I did! No regrets at all, and I love that I can easily move it around the house, take it places with me, and have access to my games and streaming services. Love it!

    I have both the series S and Series X so i do know the differences between the 2. The Series S unbelievable at $300 and was even more of a steal at $250 during the holidays. It would cost $700 to build a PC that would perform equivalently to the Series S. Wether you want a next gen experience on a budget or looking for a second Xbox, the series S is a great putchase.

    Upgraded from a xbox one to the series S and notice it is a good bit faster. Definitely needs an external hard drive though.

    If your looking for an upgrade from any previous generation and don't want to spend 500 on the Series X this is perfect. The only downside is that you can't play older disk games. Its quicker, smoother and graphics are much better.
