    Looked up thhe specs after my purchase and found out this was the same power as the Xbox One X (which i have) was slightly disapointed til I loaded up a game and then saw how fast this thing processed the games. HOLY CRAP! Cyberpunk would take 30-50 secs or more to load and this takes about 5-10. The added ability to play the next generation of games is great too! Considering the Xbox Series X is currently going for $500-600 over the retail value this is a great way to take the first step into the next gen without breaking your wallet.

    The compact size, 4K quality, and big memory is the best! It was just what my daughter needed!

    The Xbox Series S is a compelling choice for gamers seeking an immersive and affordable gaming experience. Its compact design and lower price point make it an attractive option for both casual and dedicated gamers. Despite being the more budget-friendly version of the Xbox Series X, the Series S delivers impressive performance with its custom SSD and powerful GPU.

    Had to replace the Microsoft Xbox 360. The Xbox model S is definitely the move.

    Bought this for my son after getting the Series X in December. With the new updates that are coming out for this baby, don’t sleep on it. If you can find it for now instead of the series, pick it up for a try next gen experience. Fast loading times, quick resume and game pass! The only thing I would say is the memory obviously isn’t up to where it should be but it is upgradeable. Don’t let that stop your from feeling what next gen is really about!

    No issues great buy, although if you haven’t gotten one yet I’d wait for the black 1tb series s that’s coming out pretty soon. Only difference is twice the storage and the color I believe. The storage is a HUGE factor in my opinion, what you get with this one is nowhere close to what is actually practical, currently you can download two games at most, MAYBE 3.
