    I love it! I decided to get the S for my other room because I had the old, original console. This has been a huge upgrade and the graphics look real!!

    I went with this option because I have a ps5, switch oled, & a pretty good pc that basically already plays Xbox games but I wanted something small and for my nephews to use. This is perfect, that goes for emulation and playing classic games but if you want to install games such as red dead just keep in mind you gotta spend another $200 to expand the storage, at that point just buy a series x since it’ll perform a lot better

    If you are second guessing the purchase of a next gen system, don't! Go for it! I can personally say the affordable Series S model has surpassed my expectations. I upgraded to the Series S from a One S and all of my games play better overall. Both online multiplayer and gaming solo has proven to be a more enjoyable experience on this machine with faster load times and much improved visuals. Some feel like I'm playing the game for the first time, it is that big of a difference. Beyond happy with this purchase.
