    The games via clouds are AWESOME! The slightly issues are with WiFi-ing to make streaming video games go smoothly lacks at certain levels during the day. 500GB can withstand +/-10 loaded games. A game can be 50GB to download.

    Awesome new Xbox and great graphics. It just really needs a disc drive. Microsoft should make a Series S with disc drive option. Because I can't play any of the games I have on disc. It is a good system but if it had a disc drive I would give it 5 stars.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    Beast of a system. Although you sacrifice memory the Xbox still performs just as good as a series X. Personally I’d wait till series X become more available. I just got the S for the living room.

    If you don’t need to play discs it’s great. The kids mostly play fortnite and Roblox so it works great for them.

    Easy to set up, but I would recommend getting an external drive or upgrading the memory. I filled it up fast with the game pass.
