    Best system ever. Sometimes I wish I had the Series X but even now more and more games are getting updated to run at 1080p and be optimized for series S. Blazing fast speed, games running at 60fps like Skyrim which Xbox recently Optimized, tiny and sleek and attractive form factor, this device makes me never want to touch my ps5!! Paired with the external SSD, an external hard drive, and the internal 512Gb storage, storage is never an issue for me. I even purchased the ONI Halo sling on bag to travel with this thing as well. Best system ever and extremely well worth the money for next gen gaming!

    Very pleased with this purchase so far. This was a Christmas gift for my son and he loved it. It was easy to set-up and no issues. The price was great.

    Coming from the one X, this definitely has more power. I just wish it had a disc port. Other than that, it’s great!

    After weeks of searching for it, I was finally able to get one for my son. He loves it. Great images. His old Xbox360 broke down the week before X'Mas so it was the perfect gift.

    Not Enough Storage

    To preface, I'm very happy with my Series S. It's super small and portable. The SSD is so much faster than the SATA II disk drive in the xbox one x. The new features like quick resume and remote play are awesome. This would have been a five star review IF Microsoft had chosen to give the device more than 370-ish GB of usable storage. Current gen games take up 100-200GB of storage space in some cases. If games remain the same size or become larger the series S will not be future proof. The solution is to buy the wildly overpriced $220 1TB expansion card if you want SSD speeds, or buy a third party external drive and plug in via USB. With the Xbox One X Microsoft used what was at the time 10 year old storage technology. Microsoft just doesn't seem to understand how to properly implement storage into any of their consoles or they are knowingly trying to squeeze more money out of us. As of writing this I've filled up all of the consoles storage and 1TB of external storage. I refuse to purchase Microsoft's external SSD out of principal. The console really is a leap forward, I just don't appreciate when a company makes a conscious decision to do something that is extremely anti consumer.

    Love the small footprint of my Xbox Series S. No external power block required because power supply is built-in to the console. Backward compatibility, so plays most old Xbox games too. Fast load times so you can get to gaming right away. 512 Gb Internal storage only good for storing a few games, so need to get external drive for which you will sacrifice slower load times. Excellent upgrade from older Xbox One. But if you want better features and graphical enhancements, get the Xbox Series X.

    I grabbed an Xbox series x on release and have been enjoying it. However, my nephew wasnt able to so I grabbed him a console to get him into the next generation. This console doesn't have all the bells and whistles of its bigger brother, but you are getting the next generation perks without the resolution. This is perfect for someone still rocking a 1080p display. Now, it does upscale on a 4k TV and it's marketed as a 1440p machine, but this is really for 1080p displays. I played this on my nephews TV and it looked great. The thing about this new generation is SPEED. The games and worlds load so fast.a great purchase.
