    This next generation console is so fast it makes my head spin. Although it being the digital, it has an expansion bay up to one terabyte for now of SSD and you can attach your own hard drive to it via 3.0 USB. 4K gaming and 120 frames is insane if you have the monitor for it.

    It may be the weaker of the two new Xboxes, but you'd hardly notice while playing it. I enjoyed it enough that I purchased a Series X and sold this one to a friend who is loving it. Great if you want a new console without breaking the bank to play new games.

    I really like the Series S. I do not mind playing in 1080p because I don't want to spend the extra money on the Series X and I don't want to upgrade my t.v. My only minor gripe is that it doesn't have much storage space, but I really only play a couple games anyway.

    Definitely beats my Xbox One that I’ve had since 2013 launch. FPS is noticeably different from the 30fps on my Xbox One. I play on PC as well and the Series S is just as smooth and beautiful! The load times quick, too. I blink and I’m in-game fraggin’ straight up.

    It’s just what you need if you’re a casual gamer like myself. With the size of games today a little storage management is required, but not a deal breaker.

    I love that I don’t need a special place for disks anymore. If you have a small space, love gaming, and need to keep the clutter down to a minimum, this is the system for you. Great graphics, the sound quality is fantastic, and you will love playing this system for hours.

    Good Travel Unit or 2nd Xbox

    Small form factor, easy and intuitive setup. The device fan is extremely quiet. Launches games much faster than my previous gen xbox. If the series x were available, though, I would pay the extra $200 for it instead. This unit has 512GB storage, no disk drive, and processes 4 teraflops. 512GB proprietary memory expansion costs ~$200. For the cost of a memory unit I could upgrade to the series x which includes 1TB storage, a disk drive, and processes 8 teraflops.

    Impressive console, really compact and good looking, super fast and great grafics , I give it 3 stars because the storage of 512 gb it is a really inconvenience… they saved money on the disc drive why kill this console with a small hd… everything will be digital, with this storage you can only have one game install… that makes everything else pointless …

    I love it, in size it is super comfortable because it does not take up too much space, I can play my favorite video games at any time, with the game pass it is not necessary to purchase physical games, it is the best!!!
