Many appreciate the ease of use and fast load times, along with the benefits of Xbox Game Pass.

    The Xbox series s provides a smooth gaming and streaming experience. I purchased it to play Starfield on a 4K gaming monitor.

    Got this with game pass ultimate. Already have a PS5 and wanted a base Xbox to be able to play exclusives as well as their game pass catalogs. Incredibly nice, not near close to the ps5 or series x, but a great base next gen console.

    Great xbox! Small and lightweight, better than the Xbox one. Only thing I would change is the storage space, definitely needs more.

    I have had it for a year now and have no regrets. Only unfortunate thing is having to pay more money for extra storage for the internal storage.

    Thia thing is a beast! It's great because it's much easier to buy than the other consoles, and pairs great with game pass. It has the same SSD as the Series X, so loading times are super quick! Great price for a great product.

    Love the size of this console. Wish it had more memory for games as I tend to buy everything digital. At least you can add more memory for the future. Plays everything smooth. I didn't need 4k and everything still displays fantastic.

    What is the purpose of this system? My opinion is this is the most budget friendly version of the new console to experience next gen games on the cheap, Get this and subscribed to gamepass. Seriously you don't have to buy a single game ever.

    Solid console. Just wish it had more storage capacity or they offered a discounted bundle that included the 1TB external hard drive. They mostly likely have to come up with a larger external at some point. All in all still a solid buy.

    Little half sized shoebox-looking thing plays games better than my thousand dollar gaming PC. A couple minor freezes, but nothing game-breaking. I would recommend for anyone looking for a cheap but effective next gen console.
