    My One X took a dump, so i revertedto my Xbox One Day One edition for a couple months. Going from that to this Series S was like night and day. Load times are ridiculously fast in comparison and the graphics/rendering have improved just as dramatically. Not sure if the Series X is worth the price for casual gamers. This is a great alternative for a budget conscious casual gamer.

    Definitely worth purchasing this item but only at MSRP. To test the speed, loading in to Borderlands 3 and it was significantly quicker then the One S and it runs at double the frame rate from the One S. For this console in particular, it’s really good at what it does which is to run games at 1080p 120hz or at 1440p 60hz. It not ad powerful as the One X but it’s significantly faster then the One X. TL;DR buy this console if your looking into the next generation and want it at a good price.

    This currently really is the greatest value in gaming. Although I wish it had a bigger SSD you can connect a usb 3.0 drive and store games you want to play later on there. Only concern is when are next gen titles going to cut this console off due to its low specs compared to the X, seems to be inevitable. At that point you can make this a retro console, instructions on YouTube.

    It’s loads fast and does a lot to be very small. Highly recommend if the other next gen consoles are a little too much for its price

    My first all digital console

    I was very happy to be able to purchase in light of low stock. This is my first all digital platform and I was unsure I would like it, but I do. Game Pass makes for a great playing experience and variety of games. The small profile of the console makes it easy to fit into any setup and the controller, while not vastly different than the previous generation, feels really good in the hand. All in all, I am happy with the Series S and look forward to the ease of access to a growing selection of games.
