    Great, Except for the Storage

    The Series S is a solid 1440p 120hz console. It's faster than any previous Xbox, features a compact design, and is built to take advantage of Game Pass without a huge price tag. The one drawback of this console is the limited storage space. If you're someone looking to play lots of game on Game Pass, you'll either have to delete and reinstall titles frequently, or upgrade the console's storage. However, the cost of the 1st party Xbox SSD Expansion Card is over $200, which is the exact same price difference between the Series S and the much more powerful Series X. For this reason, unless you want to purchase a slower HDD to expand your storage for less money, you may find it makes more sense to just purchase a Series X instead, assuming you can find one.

    Just get Gamepass and you'll never run out of games to play. I have had this for over a year and never once regretted that purchase or thought about paying for another game. I am admittedly a casual gamer but I honestly think this has been the most satisfied I have been with a console in a few generations, possibly since the PS2.

    My brother's Xbox One was starting to SCREAM every time he turned it on. While I know he would have preferred the series X, this one was a bargain, and he absolutely loves it. He's now able to run multiple challenge runs in different games at once and with the new Streamlabs features Xbox is adding he can stream well too. If you don't have a UHD screen, then there's no need to look elswhere, this thing is amazing.

    Don't be fooled by the "less powerful" tag that comes along with this console. You're gonna get the next gen experience for a great value. COD Cold War, NBA 2k21 and Dirt 5 run buttery smooth and look beautiful on this console. As far as cons go, the expandable memory card is a must. A MUST! Games are huge now and the base storage will be used up in a short period of time. I know 200 bucks. . . . BUY IT! You won't regret. Welcome to the Next Generation.

    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.

    The Series S is an incredible console for the price. In a world where similar performing gaming PC's can cost up to thousands, getting this punchy little machine for only $300 dollars is mind-blowing. Everything the machine cuts out compared to the Series X, are only things that would improve quality of life. If you don't care about getting that 4K 120 FPS gaming experience, or don't mind uninstalling and downloading games constantly, then yes, the Series S is 100% practical, and well worth the investment. Especially if you are considering investing into other devices like the PS5, or are just strapped for cash. I personally wish there was more storage. If the Seagate expansion card wasn't so expensive, I would give this device 5 stars for sure.
