    Love kicking back at the end of the day and playing games with all my buddies. Load times are a thing of the past with this new Xbox. Only thing that is a pain, is the small usable space on the SSD. Easily fixed by an external SSD. Great system. Great price.

    It is working like a charm. Slipped it between my two monitors and sometimes I switch between my PC dual display to one monitor. Turn my xbox on to display on my 1080p 240hz monitor and bam! you got the best of both words. Shape and Size is perfect to fit on your desk!

    The Xbox Series S is unfortunately a bit underwhelming and often times a bit frustrating. The networking gear on it is not vamped up or powerful in any way which really sucks because its a download only console (like why). Besides that point it also tends to close applications occasionally. Lastly the NEXT GEN game catalogue has just been really underwhelming this console generation. It runs really well as a media hub for your home theatre (ie, runs your apps and shows well)] Controllers have stick drift often and storage you can download a half a game and a backstreet boys CD and hit max capacity.

    Next gen gaming at a fraction of the cost. Ive loved xbox since the 360 era ans while the One dropped the ball a bit with navigation and software; the S/X is the better consoles of the era. Recommend

    This next generation console is so fast it makes my head spin. Although it being the digital, it has an expansion bay up to one terabyte for now of SSD and you can attach your own hard drive to it via 3.0 USB. 4K gaming and 120 frames is insane if you have the monitor for it.

    No disc drive, but no big deal with so much available to just digitally download. Gaming is always better with a SSD. And it takes up less space with it's smaller size.

    This console is much smaller than the original Xbox One I previously had, which is what my brother liked about it. It's perfect for him since he only buys digital games and doesn't want to swap out discs every time he wants play a different game.
