Smaller than other xbox

Bought on launch and I am still extremely happy with it. If you have a Full HD TV then this is the one to go for, all the performance benefits for FPS and $250 cheaper.

The Xbox Series S is a great entry point into next-gen gaming for those who have no qualms about buying games digitally or subscribe to Xbox Game Pass. It's a great option if you want to avoid the sizable financial outlay required to own a full-blown next-gen console, but it has significantly less storage, prioritizes 1440p resolution for gaming and does without the 4K HD Blu-Ray drive of the Xbox Series X.

The smallest Xbox ever made; Compact design, powerful specs; Completely silent in operation; Faster load times;

Targets 1440p resolution when gaming; 512GB SSD fills up fast; No disc drive; UI can be overwhelming at first

Overall I'd give it 4.5/5 Coming from a Xbox One X, it's honestly not a massive jump up at the moment. Yes, sure the Series S enhanced games are noticeably sharper and better but without a 120fps capable TV or monitor you're not going to be blown away. All my backwards compatible titles are downloaded onto my external HDD but are a downgrade from the Xbox One X as they are NOT enhanced. They play like they would on a Xbox one S. Kinda disappointing, but meh. Quick resume is my favourite party trick so far with the unit. It's also suspiciously quiet too. Auto HDR makes some Xbox One games look better at some moments too. In GTA V when cycling around the Alamo Sea at night during a rainstorm it looked breathtaking. Just small things like that make up for the other shortfalls. If you're after a next gen unit for the sake of it, sure get it. But if the Xbox Series X is available and you have the budget, get that instead. Or we can wait until more next gen titles come out to r

The Xbox Series S is the best next-gen console for anyone on a budget or without a high-end 4K TV, with the added performance power allowing for significantly better graphics than what's possible with an Xbox One S. However, the stingy 364GB storage capacity is inexcusable for a console lacking a disk drive, making the expensive storage expansion an essential expense.

Major performance upgrade on Xbox One S; Small and stylish design ; Next-gen SSD reduce loading times dramatically ; Incredible value considering the specs ;

500GB storage is far too small; Lacks a disk drive; No support for Wi-Fi 6 ;

bought this and wasnt sure i had got the right one, downloaded halo mcc and was blown away by the overall improvements to this one series alone, even older titles such as gta 4 have best framerates on the market. new controller is mint as and the fluid inputs from the handpiece are so nice dont even feel the need for elite controller. get this over the one, xbox one x or s, u will see the difference in load times. also lil tip get a usb fan as these get a lil bit hotter than expected.

Microsoft has hit this one out of the park for this price-point. Pros: - Size is very compact and even more suitable for entertainment units than previous consoles. - Packs all the new tech for a super fast experience. - Excellent price point Cons: - 512GB SSD only portions 362GB for games which is only ~5 AAA games. - No disc drive. - Most games only target 1080p, as opposed to Microsoft’s 1440p target

Way better and faster than the old Xbox. Smaller in size, runs cooler. Only downside is I have a heap of old CDs I cant use.
