    This is a great little system. I’m currently playing Halo Infinite and it looks great. It is capable at only $300 but I will be also buying an Series-X when I can get my hands on one. I have an over powered pc that I have become accustomed to, so the Series-S doesn’t give me the same impact on my monitors (maybe the series-X will be a better performer). All in all, I have no real complaints. For the money, it’s worth it.

    My brother's Xbox One was starting to SCREAM every time he turned it on. While I know he would have preferred the series X, this one was a bargain, and he absolutely loves it. He's now able to run multiple challenge runs in different games at once and with the new Streamlabs features Xbox is adding he can stream well too. If you don't have a UHD screen, then there's no need to look elswhere, this thing is amazing.

    The Mini Tank

    A miniature tank of a console! Great product for those not hindered by discs anymore. Every process feels like an improvement over the One X, with visible differences. And the fact of how compact this thing is for the power you get is insane. When compared to the Series X the Series S obviously lacks in certain categories that highly attuned console players will notice, if they have the other components to bring out the differences between the two.

    Great, Except for the Storage

    The Series S is a solid 1440p 120hz console. It's faster than any previous Xbox, features a compact design, and is built to take advantage of Game Pass without a huge price tag. The one drawback of this console is the limited storage space. If you're someone looking to play lots of game on Game Pass, you'll either have to delete and reinstall titles frequently, or upgrade the console's storage. However, the cost of the 1st party Xbox SSD Expansion Card is over $200, which is the exact same price difference between the Series S and the much more powerful Series X. For this reason, unless you want to purchase a slower HDD to expand your storage for less money, you may find it makes more sense to just purchase a Series X instead, assuming you can find one.
