I like the Xbox one S and I bought it because I needed a bigger hard drive to store my games on, but I didn’t like how they gave me a free trial to have Xbox game pass that expired last year

When you get a new game it takes hours to load and a lot of space on your hard drive

I will say a downside is the 1TB built in hard drive doesn't store nearly enough

all accounts, I love the gaming experience I get on this console, it's sleek, the controller is fantastic, and when the games run it's a phenomenal console (that's another thing, sometimes you'll go to start a game and have to wait while it boots up until the console tells you "X took too long to load" and you have to start over.)But this nonsense about having to wait a while when you get a new game until you can actually play it (install process,) and the fact that they clog up the hard drive so quickly is just absurd.

The hard drive is loud.

It was purchased in July on the 20th and it's 3 months later and the hard drive failed.

and you can fit maybe 6 games on the hard drive

the HDD spools data faster than the optical drive, but why not just have the console save critical things like shared textures or what-not to the hard drive rather than require the whole game itself taking up

I don't know how this "idea" got through R&D (well I guess I do, it's Microsoft and they make garbage like MS Word)
