Posted .Hi there,
We're glad that you're enjoying your new Xbox Series S. If you're running low on storage, you have a couple of options. The best solution is to invest in the Seagate SSD 1TB Expansion Card for Xbox Series X/S, which will add 1TB of SSD storage to your console. For more information, go here: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/seagate-storage-expansion-card-for-xbox-series-xs-1tb-solid-state-drive-nvme-expansion-ssd-for-xbox-series-xs/6425015.p?skuId=6425015
Another solution is to add a standard external hard drive, which can be used to store and play Xbox 360 and Xbox One games that have not been enhanced for Xbox Series X/S.
We hope you have a lot of fun with your Xbox.
Happy gaming,
Chuck

An Incredible Value for Gamers on a Budget
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Xbox Series S is an amazing console. It is compact, silent, incredibly fast, and has so many noteworthy features to offer. Compared to the Xbox One X - my previous console - it boasts unbelievably fast load times, unnoticeable fan noise, a consistent and smooth FPS with no stutters, and far better visual clarity, all for $200 less than what the One X originally retailed for! I cannot speak to how the Series S compares to the Series X, but it must be a dream to use if the Series S is this good. The only drawback to the Series S that I can find, along with quite a few other people, is the storage capacity. Microsoft has been very misleading with the 512GB and 1TB claims for storage capacity on the Series S and X respectively. My Series S only comes with about 365GB of usable space, while apparently the Series X gets a beefier 800GB or so, but compared to 1TB that is still a big decrease. My solution to the low storage capacity on the Series S is to purchase a USB to SATA adapter along with an internal 2.5" SSD for a computer, I have gained an extra 500GB of room to play by doing this and it only cost about $60. Compared to the eye-watering price of $220 for a 1TB expansion card from Seagate, this external SSD setup holds far more value and flexibility at a drastically lower price. For the disappointingly low internal storage capacity, misleading storage capacity claims, and poor value storage upgrade options offered from Microsoft, I will be giving the Xbox Series S 4 out of 5 stars. Compared to my gaming PC setup that cost about $1,800 and features an Intel Core i5-9600KF 6 core processor overclocked to 5.0GHz on all cores, 32GB of DDR4-3600, and a RTX 2070 Super, I find myself thoroughly surprised at just how capable the Xbox Series S is. After spending a lot of time on the new Xbox, there is no question that the Xbox Series S - and Series X for that matter - offer an incredible value to somebody who is looking to get into gaming but still wants a fantastic experience. Even with the new graphics card from NVIDIA, the RTX 3060 Ti that costs $399, I don't feel that any PC can be built with new, current generation hardware to truly compete against either of the new Xbox consoles for having the best price-to-performance. Unless raytracing, 4k 144Hz, or the desire to stream games are priorities you have, then building a gaming PC almost seems wasteful to me when the Series S is $299 and offers 120Hz, 1440p, and a much more refined and simple experience.
