    This console is perfect if you are looking for a cheaper next gen option. My kids have this, a ps5 and series X. The S is honestly just as good, it looks and plays awesome on 4k tv's, i cant tell a difference in which system they are playing. You can barely see a difference in 1440p and 4k. Storage isnt really an issue as most games are playable through the cloud. You can also just add a cheap usb thumb drive to store all the games that arent X/S enhanced. Highly recommend..

    I was skeptical about getting one because I already had a PS5 but wanted this Series S for Gamepass and Emulation. Oh my what an aamzing device! I even bought the OG MW2 and been playing backwards compatibility games. You will not regret this little machine! I have also been playing a lot of PS2 games on this unit through developer mode. Must buy!!

    It’s an amazing device at a great price, no other competitors, and it plays all modern games. Huge fan. Only issue is storage, I could only install 4 games.

    So I bought this as a second system and not regretting it even though it is another 300 dollar chunk of change. I was lucky enough to get a PS5 shortly after release. I mainly went with the PS because I felt as a gaming system it is better because of the exclusives. There are a bunch of stuff that bug me about it though. Being and audio visual guy I don't like the PS pretty much always has HDR on and the sound is not passed through . Which I would much rather have my receiver handle the audio and HDR trigger when needed. Also the streaming apps on the PS very crappy and limited amount of apps. So I did a little homework on Xbox and how it is much better for streaming (also had a Xbox One so had some idea) . Thought I could just pick one of these up with out it taking a ton of time and effort and it's cheaper. This hits all marks for me so much I kind of wish I went with the Xbox Series X and never got a PS5 . Although at the end of the day the PS5 does have the games that you can't get on Xbox. For example Spider Man and a new Wolverine game is in development. I also have a kid that games more than me and wants those games. This is a great little all in one system for me though. Basically put the PS5 in a different room so I don't get kicked out of the man cave as often. I am a very casual gamer but as I said earlier Audio Visual is important to me. This is great for streaming. The quality is there HDR is only triggered when needed and you can tell it to pass through the sound so the receiver is handling the decoding. Basically I don't have to leave one input to do all I want. Go watch a show xbox. Watch a movie xbox. Play a game xbox. Plus the game pass is mostly all I need to play just a game here and there. My advice is if you don't care about the exclusives go with this or a series X. The biggest problem I would say with this is the storage space. You start off with less then 400 GB. That being said though you can use a USB 3.1 drive to expand the storage . Super simple and cheap. You will increase load times so if the super quick load times are important to you then you will need to spend a good amount on their official drive that matches the speed of the internal. I would highly recommend this if: You are looking for a more all in one system You don't care about gaming in 4k Don't care about exclusives And if you do care about gaming in 4k and not exclusives I would go with an X.

    What I like about this concole is that it is small so it can fit any when and its price for 299 is so good. I also like how it has really good graphics on every game and it this concole is the one who loades in everygame the fastest.

    Im not gonna lie. This was my very first Xbox I have purchased in stores. Been a PlayStation user for years. At first setting up the console it felt very foreign to me but after a while and downloading a couple of games. This console is great!

    This system is perfect for your kids and really runs a lot of games very well. That said, digital games and family sharing is a giant pain to set up and most issues would be avoided with physical games. Problem one, you can’t own two copies of Minecraft and play them simultaneously under one family. But you can play them if the consoles aren’t tied to the family but then you lose the live access that a family can share. If you join family for Gamepass you can’t play the game simultaneously but both consoles have live access. Now I have 2 Xbox’s separated and 2 trials of Gamepass also separated so kids can play Minecraft online. My point is the digital console is great until you get into this nonsense. The controller is insanely clickly
