    The Xbox Series S is a wonderful console, especially for those on a budget. If you're looking to enter the next-gen fray, but you don't want to break the bank, I strongly recommended this console.

    Bought to replace older Xbox- my son was so excited to receive it - we were lucky to get by Christmas. He says graphics and all are so much better. Can’t comment there as I don’t use but he loves it !

    This is basically a 1080p console alternative to the new series x. Its just as fast however most games will only do 1080p or sometimes less.

    Had it for over almost 2 years before i decided to sell it. The storage is definitely lackluster but you can buy their ssd for more space if you need it.

    Well, it’s a one x in a slimmer form without a disk drive and smaller storage. It’s crazy how small this unit is. It’s less than half the size of the x and like 1/4 size of the ps5. This is so small and light I am going to use it as my traveling console, kinda sad that I can’t put disks in it though, but I am going to attempt to use an external Blu-ray drive.

    Haven’t been able to use the 120 FPS feature yet because my tv only pushes 60 but it still runs AMAZING! Can’t wait to hook it up to a monitor that is able to push that many frame rates

    Very compact and light weight, easy to transport and move. Could use some extra storage but that’s nothing an external hard drive can’t fix.

    I’ve been a loyal PlayStation user my whole life and i still am but i bought the Xbox because of all of the exclusives that come with the game pass and overall I’ve been enjoying it but i will say that putting 2 AA batteries in the controller every other week is a joke. But the console itself in a whole is very nice it runs very quick and smoothly
