    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

    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

    Once I got a Series X I kicked my old main the One X upstairs to my bedroom. Didn't take long to notice how cpu and transfer rate limited it is when compared to the new generation. So I picked up a Series S to "replicate" the Series X experience in my bedroom. Series S absolutely does the trick, gaming at my entertainment system or my bedroom feels the same which was what the Series S was designed to do, fantastic little device.

    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.

    This is the absolute best bang for your buck system ever made. If you don't have a TV that can utilize the PS5 or the Series X you are just waiting your money. The only con is the small size of the internal storage. But ask yourself... How many games are you actually playing at one time? The 360 gb of free space (after formatting and system data) can fit a few games and an external ssd can hold the rest.

    First off, it's an Xbox...so you know it's a quality system. The Series S doesn't use discs, and that is the only downside. But if you've done even the slightest bit of product research, you knew that going in. Just buy the Game Pass and you're all set. Everything else is exactly what you'd expect from an Xbox product.

    Best bang for the buck this is an amazing next gen budget console. This system with game pass is a no brainer. Small is downplaying this console. It’s freakin tiny & dead quiet. This is the perfect smart box for 300$. Play games. Stream movies. Take it anywhere with you. The speed alone loading & playing games is worth the price of admission. If you have a PlayStation & or switch, this is a great addition to the family.
