    Must faster than the previous gen Xbox. Must smaller footprint allows you to place additional items on the same shelf. One downside is the cost of extra storage, I the time I write this review the extra storage cost about half as much as the console. You have to be very picky on what you install as game aren't getting any smaller. I do like the fact that you can now install game from other console on the same network which cuts the install to play time much quicker. Overall I'm pleased with my purchase.

    Much better than I expected. I replaced my Xbox One X with this. This is much more powerful land the graphics are stunning. Load speeds are lightning fast. Controller feels more refined. The only real con is the lack of disc drive, but honestly it’s so much easier not having discs. Silver lining.

    Upgraded from an Xbox One S, and this console is far superior. Load times are amazing. Graphics don’t stutter at all. And it’s silent, like really, no fan noise at all. I decided to get this as a Game Pass machine, and I already feel like I’ve gotten the full value out of this console in a month and a half. Great next-gen console for a reasonable price.

    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!

    Great design, compact console

    Great design, compact console. For casual gamers who don't need the greatest graphics, resolution and highest fps to enjoy games. Once you're into playing a game you'll hardly notice the difference. You can play current gen titles as well as Xbox One, Xbox 360, and Original Xbox games in this little box. The only negative is the lack of a disc drive, rendering physical games previously purchased useless. The storage space is also low (only about 360 GB useable), but you can easily connect external USB drives to give you more space.

    The Xbox Series S has exceeded my expectations. Its compact size belies its powerful performance, delivering seamless gameplay and rapid loading. The Game Pass is a treasure trove of diverse titles. Although limited to 1440p, its affordability and gaming experience earn it a resounding 5 stars.

    I love this Xbox! I didn't want the series x, only because I wasn't going to game at 4k, but if you are, I would go for that Xbox. If you aren't this Xbox is just as powerful, and it works amazing. It isn't even loud, and I can play all the new games on it. Also, only downside is the storage, I would for sure get an external storage just in case you have a lot of big games.

    It works for me but the storage is terrible, would definitely recommend getting an expansion card.
