    This is my first Xbox. So far, I enjoy every minute that I spend playing games on the Xbox system. I was trying to buy the one x but now I changed my mind. I prefer 1 s because it’s less expensive, not so big, and considering the price point, the difference in specs between the one x and s is insignificant.

    Best purchase you could ever have if your lifestyle is to get some spare time after work and weekends ! Performance is excellent , quick resume , the only thing I’d suggest would be to get an SSD or external HardDrive to store more games since is only 512GB. The rest is amazing!

    So little and so quiet. Bought the Series S for my daughter who just loves the Destiny franchise and it’s been everything as advertised. Super fast loading times and games look better than I thought they would considering the power of the series S is comparable to the PlayStation 4 Pro. Great little system. Just wish it had more hard drive space.

    Great console and even with the limited storage most games still work great on it. It even comes with batteries in the controller. Unfortunately it’s not a rechargeable battery

    Its perfect for someone that dosnt want to spend alot and still get a next gen xbox. Games played great and with the ssd almost no load times. Could use more storage space but still worth buying

    I had to settle for the series s because I could not find the series x anywhere and when I did find it it was extremely expensive. So with that being said I love my series s. It barely takes up space. Haven't had any issues with downloading or games lagging or anything like that.

    Was very happy with the ease of picking this up using preorder. This was a very easy product to set up. The Xbox came with easy to use instructions. I was able to access to game store and order a few games immediately with ease. Definitely get the Game Pass. Also suggest having a fast internet service.

    This product is amazing the only drawback I've found is Rockstar requires you to repurchase gta v on the series consoles as for the system it's self I love it most games load in less than ten seconds it's incredibly compact and I love the expansion options too in short buy this system

    I been on PlayStation for over a decade, got this just for Starfield and am very happy with the performance and the option for additional storage if needed. Look forward to trying other games.

    Got the S, due to limited availability of the X. Higher resolution doesn't make that much of a difference, smaller size is more portable, but I would have liked the option of connecting a USB DVD, which you can't. Also forces you to buy the games from a single source. All things I knew when I bought it.

    I find this device very fun and useful! I love not having to use a disk! It saves so much more space! And the console itself is smaller which is great! It helps with keeping less space used!

    Great little console that packs a lot of power. For my use, it was definitely worth it over the X. Only issue I have is the storage. For somebody that is going to be playing a lot of bigger Triple-A titles, I would recommend getting the X or some type of storage expansion. I don't even game that much and already went through 99% of my storage.

    Settled for the S due to the X being so hard to find. The Xbox Series S is a tough console to nail down. It's next-gen, but with one rather large drawback; it isn't a 4K games console, which will undoubtedly rule out some potential buyers from the off. But it is about more than just resolution. It slays with XBOX live.
