    Solid upgrade over my launch model Xbox one. Games load quickly, graphics are good enough for me (I am a casual gamer now that I am a parent).

    Fast gaming system and not as big of a system as I thought! Looks kind of like a speaker lol but loads games fast and is easy to set up.

    Great Next Gen Console for 1440p

    Great price for the hardware. If you are wanting a next gen console, but okay with 1440p gaming, then this is the one to get. If you have to have 4K, then you are better off going for the Series X. Otherwise, this is a great gaming console. Load times are very quick. The only thing I didn’t care for was the controller, but that is only because I have large hands. If you have large hands, then you might experience cramping after about 30 minutes or so of gaming. If this is the case, then the previous Xbox controller might be better for you since it still compatible with it.

    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!!

    Absolutely in love with this product! I didn’t realize it didn’t have a compartment for discs but honestly it doesn’t even matter because if you get the game pass you’re set for a long while! I got it for my fiancés birthday last year and he fell in love too! And I was hooked the moment Hogwarts came out! Ran beautifully on the console and im tempted to buy another for mommy living room

    Definite Upgrade from Xbox One

    Much faster processor than the Xbox One S. Running at 120 FPS on a Samsung QLED 80 Series. Graphics on Halo appear to be better than with Xbox One S. Only downside is the inability to take advantage of true 4K in my LG OLED (requires upscaling). Great alternative to Xbox Series X.

    Overall, the console is a great value. Even though I was wanting the Series X, the Series S is more than capable of handling the job.
