Load times for this are crazy fast. Ark used to take 5 minutes to load from start to spawn with the xbox one s. Now it is maybe 30 seconds. Graphics look much better even though i only have a 1080 tv. Very pleased with the product. NewEgg has a 5 terabyte usb drive for $98 that works great with the series s. Just keep the games labeled for series s or x on the system storage and keep the other older games not labeled for series s or x on the NewEgg usb storage device and it works great.

Ive been playing on the OG Xbox one since release and after getting the Xbox series S, Ive noticed a huge difference. Graphics are better, performance is way better, and the FPS makes the game look buttery smooth compared to what I was use to playing on. I would highly recommend the series s if youre having trouble finding a series x. Ive decided to get the series s now until the series x becomes readily available in stores.

its just an amazing console i've now had it for about 2 months honestly i like gaming on a lower resolution so i get more fps so im not mad that is 1440p it has pretty fast loading speeds my only problem with it is there is now disc drive so cant play my ol xbox 360 games other than that its a 10/10 and for $300 its worth it

I originally wanted a Ps5 but was able to buy this. I've had it for 6 days and love it. So much better than the ps5 and has all the same games and you can have Amazon Music on it now unlike Ps5. Great deal for only $299. If you need to get more storage on it just delete one of your games and you can re-download it later on.

I liked everything about this console other then it has no storage. Xbox could do a better job with storage since its a digital edition. I guess that would make to much sense though. It makes no sense that a external hard drive would cost 200. They should so make it where any hard drive will work with x and s games.

I received mine today 11-10-20 preordered in September shipping as promised i havent yet set it up but i recently had the Xbox one s so i know what To expect Im a Microsoft fan dont to much care for Sony the price was reasonable a great gift for my son

The best part about the system is the loading times. It's super fast, and the option to pick up a game where you left off instantly is nice. If you want more of an upgrade buy the series X not the series S you won't be happy if you buy the series S as an upgrade from one X

The unit is really compact, which is good, but it gets hotter quicker. Since the system does not allow the insertion of discs (games), you would need to either purchase a game pass or transfer your collection from another gaming system. Be prepared to need a huge storage space, to handle your library of games, though.

sorry for it being so long; recently, my 7-year-old Xbox was having problems playing fallout, which was understandable, and I just got the new box S to hopefully fix the problems of the game crashing once in a while, it did not. It has gotten so much worse, how is a brand new console with better specs going to perform worse than my 7-year-old console? every single time I load up fallout and get in combat, it freezes and stops working. And in watchdogs which I never had had a problem before it froze up on me as well! I was hoping it was because I was downloading some games while I was playing (which should still not be a problem in my opinion) but even after nothing should have stood in the way of me having a great experience with my brand new series S, it still crashes every single time, which is much more frequently than my original box one.

I just received it today and when I downloaded Cold War, it wouldn't play. I googled how to fix it and a million other Series S users are having the same problem. The system is trash. Do not buy it. I don't usually play Xbox but I gave it a chance when I couldn't get a ps5. I regret buying this. I plan on returning it for a refund.
