    Solid replacement to Xbox One X

    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.

    I can understand some ppl wanting the X, but it never crossed my mind and I’ve loved every second with the S. Impressed so far but that said I haven’t been stressing it out or anything, only casually playing as I’ll continue to do lol.

    Console is absolutely wonderful. Runs at crazy speeds and is worth the $300. Gamers who do not have a 4k screen should invest in this console. Sometimes console doesn’t load up games, but I believe the problem is with Microsoft’s connection and not the console.

    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!

    Decided to upgrade to a new Xbox after having the OG One for five years. Had hoped to pick up a Series X, but figured a digital only box would work. Speed is fast and graphics look good. Enjoying the next gen features.

    Bought two of these for our grandsons.They are very happy with them. We are still looking for an Xbox Series X for our oldest grandson. The pickups for the two Series S at the Best Buy stores were very well organized; excellent customer service. Thank You.

    I’m not a fan. My choicea are kid games or shooting/fighting games. Not my idea of fun. I gave it to my daughter and bought a Playstation.

    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.

    Purchased this a gift. Receiver says this system is amazing. Loves the size and the digital platform. I received the system a day earlier than I was supposed to, which was greatly appreciated by the receiver. Shipping was faster than other retailers.
