    At times the console is buggy and unresponsive, but as its such a small device I feel its still impressive and it has many pros then cons. Definitely worth for casual gaming if you dont care for 4k.

    it's a nice little system. really fast. I'd say it's perfect for kids or a extra bedroom console or something, but not a system that will keep a hardcore gamer satisfied throughout this generation.

    Great graphics compared to older models. Both new Xbox graphics and performance wise are pretty much the same beside storage capacity which sucks because it’s the digital only version and you have to download all your games. Which storage capacity doesn’t allow you to download too many games. However buy a 5tb external hard drive like I did which you would probably have to do with the x series any. So this way your about 430$ in versus 630$. So I’d choose the more cost efficient unit.

    Great for the casual gamer. Super quiet console that doesn't take much space. Extra Plus: No external power supply needed. Keep in mind this console does NOT have a CD/DVD/Blue Ray drive. You can only play digital purchased content and anything that is part of "Games with Gold" or Xbox Gamepass. Series X/S optimized games can only be played while they are on the Solid-State Drive - and you only have about 365 GB available of the total 512GB. If you are more than just a casual gamer consider the Series X with 1TB SSD and a CD/DVD/Blue Ray drive. Adding an additional external USB HDD is only good for non-X/S optimized games and for legacy 360 or original xbox games.

    Had a ps5 that I sold and not able to buy another one but this was available for now, good console not as good ps5 by any means but gets the job down for a low price, for some reason the hdr 10+ doesn’t work on this for some reason tells me my tv doesn’t have it, but it does and the hdr 10+ worked fine with the ps5, image quality very good but the ps5 is much better still

    This is a really great console. I was really shocked and surprised. It loads very quickly. I have a television that supports this Xbox series S and the picture is simply mind blowing. I even hooked to one of my TVs that doesn’t support it’s features and that looked pretty good. This Xbox is a sleeper. Better get one before everybody finds out about this. Based on how this console is, the Xbox series X has to be a “Monster”.

    Purchased this for my brother who is a semi-Xbox gamer, and it was such a good deal that my best friend and other brother went and bought their own after. A great deal for a gamer who wants the option of modern titles without the bulk and price of a Series X.

    Good hardware but first its apparently not as powerful as the series X it is still a next Gen console at least next the console has no disc drive which is fine for most game but the problem is the storage space is terrible really 512Gb for a next gen console in this day and age which by the way is actually only like 300something in term of space you can use beside that its a pretty good console so far idk what more you can ask for also keep in mind if your going for the big next gen game their really none atm I would get the X but the this was available and i wanted to get in on the next Gen crave which there really nothing atm but the speed on this is the most noticeable thing thx to the SSD
