Many appreciate the ease of use and fast load times, along with the benefits of Xbox Game Pass. However, some users point out limitations in storage capacity and the lack of a disc drive as significant drawbacks. The console's resolution capabilities also receive mixed feedback.

    Wanted a series X but they are not available. Settled for this series S. Great video and game play. Don’t think I will get an X. This too good.

    I like its minimalistic design it is smaller than the xbox one s I was surprise when I saw it .with its 512gb storage you are going to need an external storage if you want to install more than three or games .

    Xbox Series X is nice but if you just want it to experience the next-gen gaming then this is the one for you! I just wanted it to play certain Xbox-only games and it worked like a charm.

    was very skeptical at first about getting this system because I normally place on the ps4. However, it is so amazing. My boyfriend and I love it so much I had to buy to controllers because we couldn't share lol.

    If you are expecting 4K next gen gaming, you’ll need an X. This is my living room console, but my main gaming device is my PC. That said, it’s an incredible value and works perfectly as a media player and casual console.

    Unlike GPUs and the more powerful consoles, this one has stock often. For $300 it's amazing. Crazy fast loadtimes with reasonably good visuals and framerates.
