    Great system to enjoy game pass on. Using it as our Xbox since we also have a PS5. Works snappy and great starter console.

    Since I kept missing out on the Series X restocks, just had to settle for this Series S model. Combined with a Game Pass sub, it's a great all digital machine that can play a wide variety of games. With that being said, some cons are you won't be able to play any backwards compatible physical disc games you already own. Its fast 512GB SSD can be a bit small since after the system files, you only get about 364GB of usable space.

    This console is by far the best at having a budget and wanting to have the experience of a next gen console. I am very satisfied by how well this Xbox displays graphics and how smooth it runs games, both the enhanced versions for Xbox series x/s, as well as the regular. The best part about it is the quality of the product compared to its final price.

    Very good starter for next gen. Its super compact size is great for tiny spaces and its quite powerful being able to run games at 120 fps. My biggest flaw is the limited memory in which u MUST buy an expansion card.

    Love Xbox or hate em, gotta give ‘em credit. They managed to pull off 120 frames in multiple games, get a super fast ssd, and have one of the best on demand game services there is. All for 300$? (Besides Xbox game pass) this is a worthy opponent to PlayStation for sure. Tough to find these though as I’ve been looking for a year to get one. My advice. Get one if you can because it’s literally a great console expiration for cheap so to say.
