    This is actually for me, I was on and off with Xbox. But this time, the digital version is actually pretty good. Controller feels great, Console is clean, no problems, whatsoever. Recommended for people who only like digital or have digital games only. I used to have disc-drive Xbox’s, but I sold them and finally got the chance to get my hands on a Series S. This is just fine for me. Thanks.

    Although this Xbox S needed for me to upgrade my sons monitor to a 144hz, upgrade his hdmi to 4k and buy him a mini displayport (dk why) even if it’s not required; just for him to not be laggy & get a much better quality. My teen is far more content with his gaming. Hes lovin his Xbox S to the fullest… He stay steady gamin’. all. day. all. night. Fortnite, Apex, COD & other games.

    The Series S is a great step up from the XBox One not just because of its more powerful processors, which won’t shine until more games come out that fully utilize them, but because of the near elimination of load times. When you play on this console, you spend most of your time actually playing. Coupled with Microsoft’s Game Pass, this console will keep you entertained for a long time.

    Definitely worth purchasing this item but only at MSRP. To test the speed, loading in to Borderlands 3 and it was significantly quicker then the One S and it runs at double the frame rate from the One S. For this console in particular, it’s really good at what it does which is to run games at 1080p 120hz or at 1440p 60hz. It not ad powerful as the One X but it’s significantly faster then the One X. TL;DR buy this console if your looking into the next generation and want it at a good price.
