    Works well. A bit better than the Xbox one S. There is real value in the Game Pass from MS with the new console as the upgraded game versions are already available.

    Good way to get into current gen gaming

    Definitely a step up from the previous gen, and does everything I want it to, but I will probably upgrade to the X in the future. Not a lot of onboard storage, but can use an external for legacy games. I'm happy with my choice at the moment though. It's a good entry into the current gen consoles.

    The easiest next generation console, this console does some games at 2K (1440p) with up to 120 frames per second. It looks amazing on a 1440p monitor with VSynk.

    Smaller console, it’s almost so small it doesn’t seem real but it does all the same things as the larger console, just less space and no disc drive

    An incredible value. The Series S is a little beast! Fantastic gaming quality for the price, especially if you're not looking to drop the extra $200 on the Series X.

    I like XBox but the cost versus content is not very good. They need to have more memory in a system that relies on digital downloads.
