    New controller offers a nicer grip that has been slimmed and contoured for comfort, plenty of accessories too. The overall selection and performance meets and exceeds my expectations for what this is, but has put a wedge between owning this and a ps4 pro I got only a year before. I will say however, the ultrafast ssd, the graphics and interface are very impressive. Something about going from a cold boot right into the middle of a massive world within a blink of an eye. I only game in 4k atm, and not 120hz so the S and its media drive fits all my needs as a casual 'tv' gamer. The hard drives' 512gb SSD by way of storage is small. When Playstation is offering 1tb across all models and no need for smart delivery. Though I will say unless the game is COD 35-45 GB is the largest most games are able to fit onto the SSD and xbox offers a decent cloud management for off-file saves and the ability to redownload any owned content - as per usual in 2021. Still highly impressed by the speed. I did not notice anything too earth shattering concerning the graphics, and accidently turning on ray-tracing in RE: 8 caused a software crash, but outside that one problem this is much better and affordable compared to the ps4 pro. I will say, some of the older games in the Xbox Live catalog have also been upgraded over the last 3 years and most recently to include enhanced modes for the newer consoles breathing new life back into classics. I actually replaced Splinter Cell: Blacklist from 2013 and it was outstanding!

    Purchased to upgrade from my old One S. Upgrading the setup as a whole & purchased a 1440 120 monitor and wanted a system that was up to par so felt the upgrade was necessary. I only play one game usually at a time (barely enough time to game as is) so the storage is no big deal to me. I also didn't want to make the step up to 4k since I play here & there. This console was the perfect bridge between my previous system & an X. I am able to run at a higher capacity than my previous console and can enjoy my monitor to its fullest now. It is also amazing how small this device is... truly, such a small device. Barely takes any space up on my desk! Happy purchase.

    I cant stress enough how great this console is. At the 299.99 price tag you get a Huge punch for such a small machine. if you were like me waiting everyday for the Series X restock don't stress yourself out. get the Series S. for the Price its unbeatable, for quality it is unmatched against my One X. i didn't think it would be a big difference but i was dead wrong. don't listen to the PC or the Series X snobs. I PC game and I am thoroughly impressed with what xbox has done here!

    Purchase this game console thinking it came with Halo infinity but apparently it only came with the game box. What a joke. Who would want a game box. Best Buy did not clearly advertise this or I would have just paid for the Xbox alone. Not a game case that has no game. Cancelling my credit card immediately and not giving Best Buy any more money
