    Excellent System! Best bang for your buck for instant load times (vs. Xbox One X). I own both Series S and Series X. Great Systems

    Xbox Series S is a Game Pass Boss

    Got my Xbox Series S delivered yesterday and so far I have been very pleased with what it is offering. Lets be honest, this console was built only for the use of Game Pass and that is exactly what I am using it for and its wonderful. Load times are a thing of the past even on older games in Game Pass that were originally very painful (Morrow-wind,Fallout 3,etc) Now I prefer my PS5 still for main play but this console lets me enjoy Xbox's finest in 4K and without any issues.

    This is the cheaper option if you don’t want to spend the money on series x but keep in mind some games won’t be a true 4k..

    I have bough this when it was possible for pick one of the lucky, and the only downside is that I am stuck with digital games which I am okay with. Originally I was going for the series X, but they remain sold out, always have a plan B. I am glad that Xbox is backwards compatible with Xbox One plus Xbox 360, and the best part is that I am charged with credit card for 360 games. The only negative is that Xbox still relies on batteries AA to replace from time to time. Well done Xbox well done.

    Definitely worth purchasing this item but only at MSRP. To test the speed, loading in to Borderlands 3 and it was significantly quicker then the One S and it runs at double the frame rate from the One S. For this console in particular, it’s really good at what it does which is to run games at 1080p 120hz or at 1440p 60hz. It not ad powerful as the One X but it’s significantly faster then the One X. TL;DR buy this console if your looking into the next generation and want it at a good price.
