    This is my second one and i also have a series x . It is a very small console , i can fit it in my wife's purse if i had to . Super fast load times and 120fps . It is whisper quiet and a bargain when paired with Xbox games pass . There are 100s of games available for download and even though the HD is only 500gb the download speeds make it almost a non-issue if you have decent internet. For the price of a Nintendo switch you can have a really good machine , it may not play in 4k but will do 1440p on some games.

    120FPS AND 120hz refresh rate!!! FINALLY KEEPING UP WITH PC PLAYERS IN PC LOBBIES!! All of the games feel super smooth and fast! The Xbox series s also has ray tracing for games like Call of duty Cold War wth at make the graphics really stand out when that option is enabled! My only issue is the storage space because I play A LOT of games so I would definitely recommend an external seagate storage drive or wait for the new SSD price to drop!

    This is my first Xbox system. I have been a PlayStation user since the original. I am very impressed with this console. The 'quick resume' is amazing(offline games only). This feature allows me to jump back and forth between games almost instantly without wasting time. The game pass is a great value. I am playing through tons of high quality games that range from AAA, popular indies and lesser known indie games. The console doesn't emit too much heat is fairly quiet. I am a bit disappointed with the exclusive games lineup as it's really weak, for now anyways. There is no disc drive and unfortunately the base hard drive is also bit small with only 512GB. Indie games are no problem but if you play the latest releases digitally such as call of duty, you will need to purchase external memory. Overall a great system for a great price. Perfect as an introductory console, travel console, or budget next-gen alternative. Game pass is a must!
