    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'm a PS fan, but. I'm loving this Xbox Series-S. Graphics look super good. Everything moves fast including the menu, loading times. The controller responds very quickly to input, zero lag. It's definitely better than my ps4 pro. My expectations were exceeded!

    Awesome machine, the only problem I have with the new series s/x is the game storage. For the series s the storage is nothing. They are kinda forcing you to get the 200 dollar ssd storage expansion. The machine runs nicely and smoothly and if it weren’t for the storage I would give this a 5 star. ALSO IF YOU HAVE A EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE, GAMES WONT WORK UNLESS ITS MOVED INTO THE XBOX SERIES S’ STORAGE.

    Quicker load times

    Bought this just because they were in stock. As far as graphics, it's not a noticeable difference from the one x on my my 4k TV. I'm sure you could tell a big difference on a monitor with higher framerate. The most noticeable difference is the load times for games and things just seem "more responsive". It's a good price to add to another room as I just added it to my living room and will wait to get the series x for my game room.

    Great system for those of you who do not care about 4k or have a 4k display. Bought this for my kids who game on a 1080p tv and its amazing for that purpose.

    At the heart of Series X is the Xbox Velocity Architecture, which pairs a custom SSD with integrated software for faster, streamlined gameplay with significantly reduced load times. Seamlessly move between multiple games in a flash with Quick Resume.

    A great compact system that runs games beautifully at a competitive price. Only downside is the low storage space since modern games take up a lot of room.

    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.

    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.

    The better option of the two versions of the new Xbox. Not to big that you need to rearrange your furniture or buy new furniture to accommodate it. Save yourself the added cost and pick up the small one and get an ssd to our with it for the cost of the series x
