    Xbox almost next-gen

    Great value for what you get, although not truly next-gen. Biggest limiting factor is the hard drive size. If you already have an external hard drive and don't mind moving games this is mitigated. Perfect little game pass machine.

    I was originally looking to buy the Series X,but it was hard to find. I bought the Series S until I can get the Series X. All I can say is that aim very happy with my purchase. It’s a great gaming system. There isn’t much storage space,but there are other storage devices on the market that work well with it.Dint hesitate to buy this. You won’t regret it !!

    Games now a days are two big for the 512 to be reasonable, and with external hard drives being soft locked it means it’s either you can only have a few modern games or you have to go spend another few hundred on an external storage drive. But performance and looks are amazing, very quiet too.

    I enjoy using my XBOX daily. More so, the cloud gaming capabilities have extended the use of this xbox even further. I haven’t had any issues with having no disc drive and I enjoy the games available to me.

    I don’t miss the physical disc slot at all. Perfect with Game Pass and way faster than my current Xbox One (day one). Quick resume is great, plays well with CEC. Wish I had more storage but it’s pretty fast to download games so it’s not that bad to swap them in and out. I have a USB 4TB I think I can use to just move games back and forth and avoid re downloading…

    Always with a fan of Xbox now that I got the next gen I am very pleased how well it performs how fast everything is the load time is cut right down I can get right into my games if I pause it go right into another game play that going to the other game it's well worth it downside there's no disc drive but I don't care I get all the games I want online well worth the price

    Little powerhouse

    A fantastic little powerhouse! The difference in FPS from a game like AC Odyssey is very noticeable! Runs incredibly smooth and clear. Storage is a downside of purchasing this console, but if you don’t mind removing and downloading what you’ll play most of the time, then it’s fine to work with. The true storage space is about 356GB out of the advertised 512GB.

    Purchased on sale for $250, if youre a first timer for gamepass ultimate youll get a heavy discount on your first month and have access to hundreds of games including but not limited to microsoft first party titles including halo, forza, gears and many others. Really the best value in gaming.

    I was looking for a console that would display good quality. Games run smoothly and it doesnt need hardcopys. I am not a heavy gamer so the amount of GB it came with was perfectly fine with me. If you are a heavy gamer and will have alot of games then i would recommend getting the X instead.
