    It’s been great to have so far. Runs fast. Great graphics. Sucks that you have to also pay for Xbox Live to play ‘free’ games.

    Series S .. I live in a Hotel in Downtown Miami/Brickell area .. Use hotel WI-Fi and it Hooks Up easily Every-time.. All the Time.. Do not have any Lags when playing a Game or using KODI ... Small..Compact Excellent Machine… Thought I would be disappointed in not getting the Disc Drive System.. But Honestly.. I pay for Top Tier Internet.. So STREAMING AND DOWNLOADING.. Is really the only way to live your life now… Less PHYSICAL PIECES…. LESS CLUTTER… HAPPIER PLANET..

    Mostly bought it as a carry console for vacation to play games and as a streaming device. Leave main console at home. Love the mostly white design and how compact it is. White controller is very nice and clean. Not much space in the SSD though.

    Love the xbox it works great and easy to use the only thing I can give less than 5 stars is the storage. There is not much on it and if you're into the newest games you'll definitely need to get the expansion card. I didn't know this at first and bought a separate HDD which works but you constantly have to switch your games between on board memory and the HDD as the new games can't run on the HDD is not fast enough.
