    This is a great entry level console for the Next Generation. Gaming at 1440p at 120 HZ is amazing. The only downside of the storage could be more

    Decent gaming system that I primarily use as a Game Pass Machine. The system interface is rather clunky, navigating through system options can feel a bit clunky at times and at others downright obtuse. The hard drive size is a disappointment, as many other reviews in gaming publications have pointed out. The controller feels somewhat cheap and lacks a satisfying tactile experience for me, personally. This is my first Xbox since the 360 and I largely came back because of Game Pass. I would recommend this as a secondary system or perhaps a system for someone who doesn't play a lot or isn't looking for a superior experience.

      Hey there,

      We're glad that you're enjoying your new Xbox Series S for the most part, and that you're a fan of Xbox Game Pass. If you're running low on storage, you have a couple of options. The best solution is to invest in the Seagate SSD 1TB Expansion Card for Xbox Series X/S, which will add 1TB of SSD storage to your console. For more information, go here: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/seagate-storage-expansion-card-for-xbox-series-xs-1tb-solid-state-drive-nvme-expansion-ssd-for-xbox-series-xs/6425015.p?skuId=6425015

      Another solution is to add a standard external hard drive, which can be used to store and play Xbox 360 and Xbox One games that have not been enhanced for Xbox Series X/S.

      We hope you have a lot of fun with your Xbox.

      Happy gaming,
      Chuck
