    The Mini Tank

    A miniature tank of a console! Great product for those not hindered by discs anymore. Every process feels like an improvement over the One X, with visible differences. And the fact of how compact this thing is for the power you get is insane. When compared to the Series X the Series S obviously lacks in certain categories that highly attuned console players will notice, if they have the other components to bring out the differences between the two.

    My last console was an Xbox 360. Looking to get back into gaming and this was a less expensive way back in. Since I'm not a big gamer the less powerful graphics compared to the Series X isn't a big deal for me. The experience is still fun for me, but again I'm not a heavy gamer with a discerning eye for graphics. 4 teraflops is less than 12 teraflops, but I have no idea what that really means =) Buy it if you are a casual gamer looking to play next gen titles.

    Overall great console, haven’t had much trouble with it other than the storage but you can easily get more. It can run up to 120 fps and is just like the Series X, just cheaper lol. I recommend.

    Awesome, this system is flawless. The unit wasn’t available for what seemed like ever and then it was there, right before my eyes. Not sold out my mind said. I dare not believe it, my monthly budget hoped it was not true but it was. Now I got the new Xbox and it rocks. I am going to purchase one of the large companion external hard drive that is available to me. No matter how many gigabytes I get I always NEED more. I need those gigs.

    Runs very smoothly and graphics are great. I bought this because can’t get a ps5 and am now contemplating a complete switch to Xbox. Down side is it’s all digital but easily overcome with an external hard drive.

    I have a PS5 and primarily game on PlayStation, however; I was definitely wanting an Xbox as well this generation due to the amount of exclusives in the works for Xbox. This Series S is EXACTLY what I wanted. A cheaper alternative that is still able to play all Series console games. The Series S is best paired with Gamepass. I love this little Box!
