    I already have a PS5, and wanted an SX for Game Pass, but as you know they are hard to come by and reached on the SS. I already own a One X, and I am playing on a 2.1 4K TV, so I was worried this would not be an upgrade. I am very impressed,and honestly, this is the perfect little GP machine. I have run One X against it on the same tv and the difference is more than I thought. I’m sure you’ve heard the knock that it is not native 4K, but upscaled on my TV it is barely noticeable. The 120 FPS and ray tracing is very noticeable, however. This little machine is the best bargain of the new generation. This is not a PS5, but the perfect compliment to one or is perfect for someone looking for a next gen and find this one available. Three hundred bucks is the cost of 4 games off Game Pass.

    A solid current gen console

    Since owning the Series S I can’t honestly say it’s a great way to stay current in the gaming hobby. You get to play the latest games with minimal loss in graphical fidelity. Takes up very little space, with a brilliant simple design, it stays quiet while dispensing heat effectively from his huge black vent. Adding RetroArch in Dev Mode makes the Series S a fantastic emulation box as well, playing games up to GameCube and PS2. An easy recommendation to those on a budget. You won’t get this price to performance ratio anywhere else.

    Even without the disk slot, it is still an amazing console. I have quite a few games on disk, but they still run just fine on my Xbox One S. Got this console to play driving games like Forza.

    I got this system before I got the Series X and it is basically the same thing just less expensive and with Game Pass you are in gaming heaven. Save your money and get this one instead of the X if you are a casual gamer.

    I really wanted the series x but became impatient and these are a lot easier to get. I got the xbox, a lime green controller, and the game pass ultimate. A pro tip is to get the game pass from Microsoft for a dollar and then when you buy the series s, bundle the game pass ultimate for three more months for 33 dollars or so. Then you have six months of ultimate for about 35 dollars. The series S makes the pictures on my 4k tv look awesome. I already had an external hard drive from my original xbox one and I didn't have to transfer one thing. Setup was easy. Would highly recommend if you are willing to buy the game pass because that is the cheapest way to own this system. For reference, I am a casual gamer, don't play much and watch a lot of movies on my consoles. Hope this helps.

    Best entry level console for Xbox. If you can find one at a lower price it’s great having some games at 120 and also ways to use as a emulator power house.

    Fits some very particular use cases perfectly

    Most affordable next generation system with some very particular drawbacks: + Fast Loading - all new storage that is as fast as the SeriesX - Small capacity - only 500gb (versus 1TB on the X) -- expanding with USB speeds works for non S/X games but newer games want fast storage. Current 1TB expansion (fast) is $200 +Supports all of the latest next gen graphics - But focuses on 1080p for most TV sets Overall is a great system for low cost if you want next generation performance and don't need the highest end 4K. I personally use this as my kids system as a second system beyond the Series X for Dad. Note: is a FANTASTIC travel system, very small form factor that can travel in your cary on bag and lets you game when traveling for work

    This is a great little system, perfect for a 2nd room, or if you tend to move systems around a lot (I do) I already have a Series X hooked up to the 4K, I bought this for the portability and to use on smaller screens. I love it! I actually used it more than the X, since the X is on the family TV. It compares well to the X. If you look at the games side by side you will notice a difference, but in general the games look and play great. It's snappy and quiet, the only downside is the small amount of storage, but that's easily rectified by using a cheap HDD and shuffling games around. Unfortunately I had to return it because the fan started squeaking, and of course there was no replacement available for exchange. I'm definitely buying another one whenever Best Buy gets them back in stock!
