    Love Xbox S and Xbox game pass together!

    I love my Xbox! I use it in my bedroom when I am relaxing after chemo treatments so I can play Xbox game pass games while laying in my comfy bed or in the living room (super easy to move it from room to room) rather than sitting at my computer that has a very uncomfortable chair. Really love this system and it is replacing my old Xbox 360 that I rarely use anymore but have found myself using this system a lot. I do feel like the controllers aren’t as nice as the Xbox 360 ones. The plastic seems cheaper and the sticks don’t move as smoothly so that is a bummer.

    Series S

    Well... I have been playing for one week now. I tried several games like Godfall (i would rate 4/10), Spider-Man Remastered (10/10 so far), Astro Bots (I'm an playstation fan for over 25 year now - so... 10/10!), God of War PS+ collection (10/10 - even it's only 30fps) and many other games I owned before: CoD Warzone, Battlefield 5, Rainbow Six Siege, No Mans Sky, Destiny 2, Madden NFL, GTA online. All in all I'm very impressed by the smoothness of the PS5 UI. Everything works more fluently and faster. It's very easy and fast to create and join parties! And I really love the new controller as it is a bit bigger, fitting perfect in my hands. I really love the adaptive triggers, as they for example simulates the tension of spider-mans webs when web-swinging through new york! That's awesome!

    I have no plans to upgrade my HD 1080 TV anytime soon..The Series S is exactly what I need and perfect price entry point. I don't need to upgrade my TV! I get just enough power and speed with the S. And I get to play flight simulator too!

    I have both the s and the x in two different setups. I actually think I like the S better. Sure the X has more bells and whistles, but the S does just fine and I don't miss the other features

    Ready set up. Great price point. Do be aware that storage is light of you're loading optimized for 5th gen games but add-on storage is available and any digital game remains in your library for re-download if you backed it off your machine.

    The new Xbox is really small. I like that it does not take up a lot of space. Very easy to set up you can do it on your phone. The menu is simply to use and the controller feels great. Graphics and load time are also big improvements

    For the price and paired with ultimate game pass you can't beat it. Only con is the memory size. Can only store about 3-4 games. Gotta delete when you want to download another game.

    I bought a Series X when it came but upgraded our other Xbox One X to this and it is a night and day difference in loading times. Storage sucks but Seagate makes a SSD addon to increase storage.

    Bought this as an upgrade from a xbox one S. This is much faster and displays better graphics, but what stood out above anything else is the load time. You can jump right in to your favorite game much faster the the 1S could even boot. It does have a few issues, mostly connectivity with the controller and glitches (expected with a new generation. And in case you were wondering, we don't really miss the lack of a disk drive.

    I was clueless about the difference between this and my son's original Xbox One. He did some research and explained it to me like it was 1997: yes, it plays the old games, but the new ones look and play much better and faster.
