    A good option to the series x. It has enough power to be an upgrade over the xbox one. I would suggest this if you are on a budget.

    Xbox Series S is a Game Pass Boss

    Got my Xbox Series S delivered yesterday and so far I have been very pleased with what it is offering. Lets be honest, this console was built only for the use of Game Pass and that is exactly what I am using it for and its wonderful. Load times are a thing of the past even on older games in Game Pass that were originally very painful (Morrow-wind,Fallout 3,etc) Now I prefer my PS5 still for main play but this console lets me enjoy Xbox's finest in 4K and without any issues.

    High quality gaming. Great price! Unit is small, way smaller then i expected. So much tech in such a small package. I hope overheating is not an issue. High end pcs need massive cooling. So far, unit is cool to the touch. Very quiet unit. Graphics are fantastic on 1080p projector. A 4k projector would be even better. Future purchase a must. The only downside for me with the new xbox units, No optical out. I use a stereo receiver and have always used optical for quality sound. Hdmi sound is great and all, but when using a projector to receiver to xbox, there are video issues. Now i have to use audio out on projectorto receiver. If you are using a tv, you won't have any issues. Overall, i give the xbox 4 stars. I wish companies would leave stuff alone. If it isn't broke, don't fix it! Should have left optical out on system. And a kinect port. Now i need the adapter.

      Hey there,

      Thank you for sharing your experience and feedback on your new Xbox Series S. If you're concerned about overheating, we recommend placing it in a well-ventilated spot with 2-4 inches of clearance around it and make sure that its vents are unobstructed.

      Unfortunately, Kinect has been discontinued and is not compatible with Xbox Series S, even with an adapter.

      Best,

    I went with this option because I have a ps5, switch oled, & a pretty good pc that basically already plays Xbox games but I wanted something small and for my nephews to use. This is perfect, that goes for emulation and playing classic games but if you want to install games such as red dead just keep in mind you gotta spend another $200 to expand the storage, at that point just buy a series x since it’ll perform a lot better

    I have bough this when it was possible for pick one of the lucky, and the only downside is that I am stuck with digital games which I am okay with. Originally I was going for the series X, but they remain sold out, always have a plan B. I am glad that Xbox is backwards compatible with Xbox One plus Xbox 360, and the best part is that I am charged with credit card for 360 games. The only negative is that Xbox still relies on batteries AA to replace from time to time. Well done Xbox well done.
