Hi there, I had 3 mega drives over time, all 3 got swapped or sold. Good machine at the time.

I have both ss and xs.

Both have faster speeds at loading, transfer rates or good, graphics are good, my total opinion is if you buying 1 is get xs, cos it dose digital and hard copy games,

Where as the as ss only dose digital. But is cheaper.

I don't have the memory cards for either machine, but do have a 4tb hdd drive, via USB, you can store xs games on it but need to transfer them to machine to play if internal memory is full.
