    Love this system, I was unable to find a series x unfortunately but this was a great alternative with similar performance. And at a cheaper price point.

    Works great. Have a ps5 so this is just a game pass machine. $200 cheaper than the series x and even though the 4k is upscaled to my tv, you'd have a hard time noticing.

    Great budget gaming machine, capable of 1440p can’t beat that for the price. Loads everything quickly no crashes or anything. Good buy.

    Series S is great if you don't care about 4K and a bunch of native storage. There is a small graphical difference and screen tears, but it's more than tolerable.

    Its a great system, I love it. My inly complaint is my xbox one disk games dont transfer over only the digital games I bough do, so Ive about 40 ges I cant pmay anymore.. there should be an option to pay a small amout to transfer the physical disks to digital in my opinion.

    Love this little thing. Great for a bedroom mini-pc. Have my real rig in the Living Room but with Game Pass I use the Xbox a lot and it runs well for not being THAT powerful

    A very good video game console for the price. Yes it would be nice if it had a blu ray drive but for the price it's hard to justify it. Yes the trade off is that you need a subscription to play online and buy digital games but on the bright side there is more space on the shelf not cluttered with media. The only other sore spot was the on board memory 365GB , darn Microsoft couldn't you make this at least like the playstation and have 667 GB minimum since some games are huge.

    Nice improvement even over the older X series. The price point is much better as well. Storage is the only issue.

    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..
