    The ‘Xbox Series X’ for Less

    The only downside of this product is that it doesn’t have as much storage as the Series X, but can be fixed with an External Hardrive or SSD Expansion Card. But other than that, has all the functionality of the Series X but for way less.

    I was initially concerned that I wouldn’t like this as much as I would have liked a Series X, but I really love this device! It’s perfect as a GamePass machine, and is small and does not take up much space. Seriously, it’s like the size of a Wii. I got the disc enabled PS5, but this is a perfect compliment to that.

    For what it is it's great. I already have a Series X so this is for travel and the other room. Microsoft's cloud saves make this viable. I got a cheap but nice travel case on Amazon to make this a travel Xbox when needed. It's ridiculously small size is perfect for packing.

    This is the peak of affordable gaming consoles. Physical copies of games are becoming a thing of the past, and this console takes advantage of that to bring a more affordable and compact gaming experience.

    Huge difference as far as speed compared to the Xbox one x. Controller feels better than the previous models controller but still prefer the elite controller over it. Cheaper version of a PC. When have a chance get one or lucky based off the sales of these consoles and people stop hoarding them. It’s a good console

    The Xbox S

    The main difference I see is the speed compared to the Xbox One and you can pickup where you last left off playing. Is it worth buying if you have the One? No! I only bought it because I can’t buy the Series X! When I get the X I will sell the S! No disk drive isn’t cutting it for Me. I gave it a chance but I need my drive and the HardDrive space is ridiculous. I also have the Elite 2 controller and you have to pair it each time you want to play the One or the S! Microsoft should make the controller pair to,at least, 2 systems at the same time!

    My son loves it! It doesn’t have a disk drive so you don’t run into the issue with the red ring of death. Only issue is the storage, but that can be fixed with an external HD.

    I love it. It is great for my son. It’s smaller than the Xbox one S and it’s so quiet. Gamepass is the best thing to buy for a kid as well. So many games for kids available.

    Got this for my son for Christmas great console only thing is it needs to be flat if it’s on its side it will over heat just like the series x can’t stand up but it’s fast snappy and runs games perfectly

    Ugh may I say it…I actually like this console. I am a PlayStation girl so that’s saying a lot. From the game pass to graphics is great! I just wish I had more space smh the controllers are super reasonable but they do stick after a year.

    I was waiting to buy the Series X but its been to long and not available for months, the series S was available so I grab it and after buying the series S I'm not sure i'll get the Series X for a while now, the series S went well beyond my expectations, one word GTA loads instantly no more pain waiting for games to load

    Great console and even with the limited storage most games still work great on it. It even comes with batteries in the controller. Unfortunately it’s not a rechargeable battery
