    A tiny beast, can rarely tell the difference of games played on my series s and my series x. A viable affordable option for those new to gaming

    Extremely fast console with crisp graphics. Can't wait to get the Series S when more are available and move this one to the man cave cuz the Series S goes to the Master Bedroom to watch HI DEF BLU RAY. TELL THEM PRONTO CREDIT sent you!

    I have had it for a year now and have no regrets. Only unfortunate thing is having to pay more money for extra storage for the internal storage.

    Love this console. So annoyed with not being able to get a “next gen” console without overpaying, I tried the Series S. So far, I love it, buying the Game Pass is a must. My only complaint would be the lack of storage.

    Great next generation device at a small price. My only gripe about it is that the drive is small, if you want you have to spend like 220 for a ssd, yeah you can buy a hdd but let’s be honest at some point those will be obsolete.

    Actually very disappointed in the XBOX series S. It is mainly the performance. I have a series X and am mainly a PC gamer. the X and S are TOTALLY different devices and are seemingly years apart with graphical power and speed. Do not get an S if you care about having good graphics. It simply does not have the power output it should for the price of the console. The ONE X is actually much better graphically than the S without the NVMe storage for load speeds. The games that are at 120hz honestly look like Xbox 360 titles downsampled to 720P and even 480. Look the GPU specs up for yourself. The series X is worth way more than the price gap between the two. Get the series X! Trust me.. I have both and a one X!

    Storage size is a downfall, but if you can accept the slower load times it's not bad. I used my 3TB external and I don't see any issues at all good bridge between the One X and Series X (if you have digital games)

    Great build quality and performance. My only complaints are that the internal SSD is small (only 512 Gb) and the memory expansion (either 1Tb or 2Tb) is proprietary and expensive. It’d be nice if you could use an industry standard external SSD or better yet, replace the internal SSD with a larger one.
