    If you are lucky enough to get one, it's an awesome console. Super powerful, super low profile, love the diskless system. Perfect for gamepass!

    It doesn’t play discs, but the 4K content is superb and the games load and play flawlessly on this digital console. Hard to find but worth the effort.

    They forgot to leave the disc in. I wish they would offer a 2tb version for a premium, having literally everything digital fills up this system in minutes.

    A nice speedy upgrade from last gen. If you have a great Oled tv, go for the Series X. Otherwise this works well for the rest.

    The Series S is great for the money, especially when the Series X is near impossible to find availability. Flightsim 2020 is only 1080P resolution on this console due to performance limitation. Need to upgrade to Series X to get 4k resolution for this game.

    Much faster processor than the Xbox One S. Running at 120 FPS on a Samsung QLED 80 Series. Graphics on Halo appear to be better than with Xbox One S. Only downside is the inability to take advantage of true 4K in my LG OLED (requires upscaling). Great alternative to Xbox Series X.
