    #GeekyTechyCool Worth every penny, truly a next gen experience in a small package. Even more worth it with All Access since I can remove the games I don't have time for and just download them again from the ever growing library Microsoft has.

    This is a great little console the presentation isn’t much different from the one but being able to play the new games and the old ones at a good frame rate is nice. the only downside I can see is the lack of base space to play the series s/x games those need ssd so any external hard drive won’t work only the 220$ memory card Xbox sells can give you more space and with cod or 2k being over 100gb a piece. your gonna need the extra space

      Hey Benjamin,

      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. As you mention, 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.

      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,

    Don’t let 512gb fool you! I downloaded 5 games, and have only 75gb left maybe better to go for the larger size if you want more games. Also seems to disconnect from Wi-Fi frequently, causing me to have to re-join my Wi-Fi and re-enter my password. Also some elements are very hard for visually impaired people to see. Be prepared to sit closer to the TV if you are visually impaired.

    This game console was bought for the wife. She loves playing her Fortnite game on it. The graphics are amazing, 4K is on point and being able the connect to the 5G wireless network gives her constant epic gaming experience.

    All around great system! As long as you aren't looking to game in 4K, this system is amazing! It starts up and runs very fast, and games load quickly! My only gripe is that it is easy to fill up the 500 GB drive, but it can be easily managed with external drives.

    Game Pass is the best thing going in gaming right now. 299 + 15/mo is the easiest way to get into the current gen of gaming and get hundreds of games to choose from. This is the best overall deal of any system currently… IF you can find one :/

    It's truly a next gen system! Don't sweat getting a series X if you cant find it and this is available. I was not impressed until I played a few games on my One X, now I don't want to play my "older" xbox. I am still waiting for a series X for my living room.

    I can’t see a reason anyone would pay for a Series X. For most people this is plenty fast enough. My only complaint is that to expand the memory you must buy a special card that cost $200. Games will not play from simply an external hard drive.
