    System loads up fast can go back and forth between games in an instance.. Got it for me son he clearly notices the visual and gameplay difference.. Should come with 2 controllers and more storage for all the money you spend on the system..

    Love it ! Best investment pound for pound new system looks great running 120 frames at 1440 . unless you got a few thousand dollar tv with hdmi 2.1 to reach 60 frames at 4k on the X . This series S is the answer looks amazing and so small !

    Get the "S" if you are on a budget

    The console is a great way to step into the next gen scene with upscaled resolution. Yes "upscaled" because it isn't as crisp and clear as the series "X" but you can't tell unless you hold up a magnifying glass against the pixel screen. CONS: 1) The console heats up laying down and standing, 2) The console randomly freezes or shuts off possibly due to heat 3) Not enough storage space for games 4) Doesn't support good quality stream apps 5) Attaching a camera to the console causes stutter 6) cameras appear low quality and lag quite severely PROS: 1) games are being upgraded to "X"S" 2) games are upscaled 3) you get to enjoy xbox pass which has better games than sony 4) xbox has the best controller on the market

    Amazing value. Using the fsp boost to get 60 fps with my current tv. Load times are amazing even on a standard external drive. I wish the external SSD was more affordable but this works for now. Game pass is an excellent value.

    While this console has no disk drive, you can download and Xbox game from the Xbox store. Load Times are much faster than the Xbox one. Can connect usb external hdd and transfer games to internal storage to play.

    Worth the upgrade. A good compromise from the never available, more expensive series X. Video quality, movement, loading speed, game playing speed and everything is much improved from older Xbox. Worth $299.

    Great next generation device at a small price. My only gripe about it is that the drive is small, if you want you have to spend like 220 for a ssd, yeah you can buy a hdd but let’s be honest at some point those will be obsolete.

    Love this console. So annoyed with not being able to get a “next gen” console without overpaying, I tried the Series S. So far, I love it, buying the Game Pass is a must. My only complaint would be the lack of storage.

    I got this to upgrade from the One S digital edition. This one is so much faster, loads super fast, and i have had no issues with any games. Only thing i don't like is the extremely small 512 GB storage. You only get about 320 to use which is barely 3 X/S enhanced games. Bought a 2TB external drive so i can move my games back and forth, which is a headache but saves you money from buying the expensive expansion cards.
