    Its much faster. Some of the S/x optimized games are around/greater than 100GB so you might run out of space soon. It also cant play my old games but overall it was a decent upgrade.

    its perfect for a 2nd next gen console, but it can't be your main. It compliments my PS5 well, I enjoy gamepass ultimate on the system and the ability to either dl or stream games

    Like this system. I already have a ton of different video game consoles and have a lot of different kinds of Xbox games on my PC. Just wanted to transfer a few of my games to a system instead of connecting my pc to a 4K tv. Works great if you play a few games. It’s recommended to just get game pass since the systems hard drive can only hold a few new titles. Since the new titles general size are around 100 gb and after the systems operating system takes up about 180 gb of space. You’re only left with about 365 gb of space which means that this system can hold only a few games. Since I’m a casual gamer, that’s the best option

    This console is FAST! My son got this for his birthday 5 months ago and uses it almost daily, he is always raving about how fast he is able to load up and massive updates only taking a fraction of the time compared to his old console.

    Slim design fits in home scene very well. Runs games in 1080p smoothly, and doesn't make too much noise even under high load. With the cheaper price than Series X I think it's really good value!

    aside from the storage which is also an issue on series x, the series s does pretty the same exact thing my series x does for half the price. personally I love the size of it the most

    The Xbox Series S is amazing! It's fast, and the lack of a disk allows for a small, sleek design.

    For the price this is unbeatable. PC that allows running games at similar quality will cost at least 2.5 times more. And take up 2.5 space. Wonderful little console

    Well, it’s a one x in a slimmer form without a disk drive and smaller storage. It’s crazy how small this unit is. It’s less than half the size of the x and like 1/4 size of the ps5. This is so small and light I am going to use it as my traveling console, kinda sad that I can’t put disks in it though, but I am going to attempt to use an external Blu-ray drive.

    Coming from a Xbox one S to this was quite the improvement. Using it for a 1080p setup and the improvement was phenomenal. The storage could be better, but the price is right. So far very impressed.

    I bought this console a month ago. compared to my Xbox One S it is way better. The Graphics, the time it takes to start the Xbox/games. Overall it is the best budget next-gen console in my eyes.

    This is basically a 1080p console alternative to the new series x. Its just as fast however most games will only do 1080p or sometimes less.
