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

    Waited for this to drop and battled for months to grab a console. LOVE it. Switched back to Xbox after being on PlayStation for a few years. Compact design fits anywhere. Stage lack of hard drive space is the only issue.

    Bought for my other half. To replace her Xbox One S, It's a massive improvement for a fair price. Though I dislike the smaller base storage that's easily and quickly filled. Along with the fact that expanding that storage is massive cost sink since you can't just get a compatible SSD, you have to buy specifically from Microsoft.

    Easy setup, great options, plenty of memory, game disks unnecessary, love it! I decided to choose this system instead of upgrading from my PS4 to PS5 and very pleased with my decision!

    Got what I expected and don’t regret buying it. If I’m going to be honest I would save up for the series x instead.

      Hey there,

      We couldn't be happier to hear your son is loving his new Xbox Series S Console! 23/7 may be a little too much time in-game, but who are we to judge. We're thrilled he is enjoying hours of exciting gameplay with his new setup! Thank you for sharing your story with the community. We appreciate your feedback, and are glad it was a good investment for you and your family.

      Happy Gaming,

    Amazing value for a console with a surprisingly amount of power. I used this Xbox as my secondary Xbox and put it in my bedroom. It really is a great machine for gaming and for streaming and is super affordable.

    As a gamer who appreciates all console this one is extremely well. Besides the memory storage issue for the price you cant go wrong with this. I have the series x as well and the difference is minor.

    Great console runs so much faster than the Xbox one. Only downside is not having a big hard drive.

    Excellent piece of kit for a den, office, study or to travel with. SSD and CPU just as fast as the Series X and the compact size is remarkable. Perfect for game pass, 1080/1440p, for traveling or if value is most important.
