    I picked this up after waiting and letting several chances to get one pass me by. After finally getting one, I’m pretty happy with my choice to grab one up. Once I set it up and logged into my account, my whole library of digital games from original Xbox to Xbox One games were available to download and play and to my surprise, quite a few were already optimized for Xbox Series S/X. Games that aren’t optimized still run better than they did on my One X and look better in most cases too. The internal SSD is a bit on the small side but I was able to get an external SSD for a good price that works with the console really well. Overall, I’m really happy with my purchase and have been enjoying gaming quite a bit more than I have in a while.

    Killer combo videogame machine

    Awesome machine. For $300, you can play next gen games on a super fast ssd. Couple that with Game Pass and quick resume (the best videogame console feature EVER) and you have a killer combo. I also love how compact the console is. The only downsides are the small amount of storage (roughly 370gb of usuable storage) and the lack of a disc drive, but those are excusable considering the price. Overall super happy with the product.

    Awesome travel console

    I own both Series X and now S . Honestly besides 1tb storage and the disk drive its the only big difference between both consoles. You can use a standard HDD to put your old games but I recommend putting XSX/S games in the internal hard drive or buy the SDD hard drive. It’s half maybe even smaller than the XSX and really great for travel as well. I recommend this console to who’s not quite ready for next gen (Example : if you don’t own a 4K tv 120hz with hdmi 2.1)

    It was the only way to get next Gen hardware without paying for scalper prices. The console loads games really fast. Faster than my PC sometimes. The only drawback is the drive space. It comes with 512 GB, but you really end up with 300ish because of the OS. I ended up biting the bullet and got the 1 TB expansion drive. It’s a good console, I recommend it to anyone wanting to get into next gen consoles or an Xbox fan

    Runs great and is a more manageable size than past Xbox models. Ended up purchasing more memory, but the plug-and-play functionality for after market drives is seemless. Textured triggers on the controller feel great, too. Looks awesome on newer model, 4K-supported TVs.
