    Love it ! Best investment pound for pound new system looks great running 120 frames at 1440 . unless you got a few thousand dollar tv with hdmi 2.1 to reach 60 frames at 4k on the X . This series S is the answer looks amazing and so small !

    I have had it for a year now and have no regrets. Only unfortunate thing is having to pay more money for extra storage for the internal storage.

    Get the "S" if you are on a budget

    The console is a great way to step into the next gen scene with upscaled resolution. Yes "upscaled" because it isn't as crisp and clear as the series "X" but you can't tell unless you hold up a magnifying glass against the pixel screen. CONS: 1) The console heats up laying down and standing, 2) The console randomly freezes or shuts off possibly due to heat 3) Not enough storage space for games 4) Doesn't support good quality stream apps 5) Attaching a camera to the console causes stutter 6) cameras appear low quality and lag quite severely PROS: 1) games are being upgraded to "X"S" 2) games are upscaled 3) you get to enjoy xbox pass which has better games than sony 4) xbox has the best controller on the market

    Amazing value. Using the fsp boost to get 60 fps with my current tv. Load times are amazing even on a standard external drive. I wish the external SSD was more affordable but this works for now. Game pass is an excellent value.

    Love this console. So annoyed with not being able to get a “next gen” console without overpaying, I tried the Series S. So far, I love it, buying the Game Pass is a must. My only complaint would be the lack of storage.

    Actually very disappointed in the XBOX series S. It is mainly the performance. I have a series X and am mainly a PC gamer. the X and S are TOTALLY different devices and are seemingly years apart with graphical power and speed. Do not get an S if you care about having good graphics. It simply does not have the power output it should for the price of the console. The ONE X is actually much better graphically than the S without the NVMe storage for load speeds. The games that are at 120hz honestly look like Xbox 360 titles downsampled to 720P and even 480. Look the GPU specs up for yourself. The series X is worth way more than the price gap between the two. Get the series X! Trust me.. I have both and a one X!

    Extremely fast console with crisp graphics. Can't wait to get the Series S when more are available and move this one to the man cave cuz the Series S goes to the Master Bedroom to watch HI DEF BLU RAY. TELL THEM PRONTO CREDIT sent you!

    Great next generation device at a small price. My only gripe about it is that the drive is small, if you want you have to spend like 220 for a ssd, yeah you can buy a hdd but let’s be honest at some point those will be obsolete.

    Storage size is a downfall, but if you can accept the slower load times it's not bad. I used my 3TB external and I don't see any issues at all good bridge between the One X and Series X (if you have digital games)
