    This is my 2nd xbox series s that ibuy. We have a total of 4 systems in our household for family fun. 2 series s and 2 series x. If u can i recommend getting the series x. This only has 400ish gigs of space. So if u need to buy the seagate expansion pack the 1 tb is alone 220, which this sytem with that expansion turns out more expansive then the seriesx. But if u just playing cloud games, this will do the trick.

    Amazing console for the price. The faster drive makes load times minimal. Hopefully the Series X will become available sometime.

    Bout this for my daughter. This little machine is amazing! I also got a Series X and I was more excited to see what this thing could do. If you have gamepass, this serves as such. This is a gamepass slingbox. Games load so fast and sometimes faster then the Series X due to the lower res textures. Love the auto hdr feature that adds it to games that never had it. My daughter booted up roblox and wow, it loaded really quick and looks way different because of the hdr added. Perfect system for the below hardcore gamer. You WILL run outta storage quickly.

    I don’t use physical copies of games so the digital version has been perfect. I also usually try to only play 1-2 games at a time so the space on it is not an issue at all, but it’s nice that you can expand storage if necessary, It’s quite small so it fits perfectly where I need it to and it’s super responsive and quick. I haven’t owned a new game system since I was in high school so it’s quickness was a nice surprise. Also picking it up at the store was the easiest thing I’ve ever done(as opposed to finding one to purchase).

    Tried this out and decided to go with the Xbox X. This product is fine but X is better if you have 120fps available.

    Pairing this with a gaming 1440p monitor is a dream combination. The series S can pump out amazing frame rates and performance on games like Forza Horizon 4 and other larger games while making indie games run to their best potential. Its a gamepass machine with a ton of tricks up its sleeve. If you're considering it just get it, its such a joy and has such a cool sleek design and minimalist footprint.

    The series s is a great console for casual gamers. Pair it with game pass and you get a very affordable way to play next gen games. The biggest con is the storage size, which will fill up quickly with games. If you plan on expanding the storage, I would recommend just going to the series x which starts with double the capacity. The official storage expansion is over $200 for 1tb of data, so you aren't saving much money with the series s of you want more space. If you don't care about 4k and just want to game, the series s is great.

    The series s is a good side choice if you can't afford the series x. I've had good experiences with the console in the past, using it for long hours without it slowing down or anything, i even accidentally dropped it a few times and i would've thought i'd have to go and get it fixed but no problems happened after. The only major problem i had with the series s was the space capacity, after a few games i had to delete some to make space which gets frustrating but you just have to buy extra storage no real way around it which is fine. Still a great console nonetheless.
