    By far a better unit than the previous Xbox One S, it's seemingly quicker to the punch, graphics seem to load more readily. Only downside is it seems to eat up more bandwith.

    Compact, Purpose Built, Economic This console boots up, installs, and loads games significantly faster than previous gen consoles. Other key difference between this machine and the previous gen consoles is that it has Quick Resume. NOTE- if you get the the Series S or X, your TV HAS to be hdmi 2.1 ready in order to see the true Next Gen X'periance

    Entire family loves ours. Great for streaming or gaming. Gamepass is 100% worth subscribing to if you're even a little bit into video games. Storage is lacking so keep that in mind.

    Originally I was a PlayStation player, I own both PS3 and PS4. I have to say that buying this Xbox is honestly one of the best decisions I could’ve made. It is incredibly fast and smooth. The GamePass is also one of the best things I could’ve gotten with it. I will be getting a PS5 at some point not the future but for now, I’m loving my Xbox 10/10 recommend.

    Honestly one of the best affordable gaming options if you want to get into next gen. Pick it up with a gamespass or gamespass ultimate subscription. You dont need to buy the $200 expansion card this system is compatible with regular external hard drives, you will have to move the xbox series optimized games back and forth depending the hard drives but its a nice option.

    I purchased this little guy when it's big brother wasn't readily available. I was pleasantly surprised to find the Series S is a very capable console at 1080p. I played through MEDIUM (a native Series X/S title) perfectly fine on this console. The only shortcoming would be if you needed a disc drive for older games you own. But if your going all digital its a great deal.
