    Like my disc less version as just a casual gamer and don't use it for DVDs works well and decent deals will need more storage space if you want more games ready

    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.

    bought for my nieces and nephews. they can't handle discs bc they're kids and will definitely damage or lose them. this fixes that. Microsoft.....why do you make people log in to like 5 different accounts and take like 2 hours just to start up an xbox. what??? I had to download like 3 apps and make multiple accounts and then LOG INTO THEM etc etc took 2-3 hrs to get the Xbox just to let us in. ruined it for. I'll never have an Xbox. but the kids seem to like it.

    All digital Xbox Series S

    Since I kept missing out on the Series X restocks, just had to settle for this Series S model. Combined with a Game Pass sub, it's a great all digital machine that can play a wide variety of games. With that being said, some cons are you won't be able to play any backwards compatible physical disc games you already own. Its fast 512GB SSD can be a bit small since after the system files, you only get about 364GB of usable space.

    Very good starter for next gen. Its super compact size is great for tiny spaces and its quite powerful being able to run games at 120 fps. My biggest flaw is the limited memory in which u MUST buy an expansion card.
