    I bought it because it was time to buy the xbox series due to my xbox one s is slowing down and is unable to play original xbox games and crashing sometimes and also due to price rises I bought one finally and its been great not entirely fast as the ps5 but is able to play games just fine its a shame it did not have the disc drive but love the white style xbox series s but luckily most of my games are digital anyway so its good but you need to have a tv that has 120 fps and 4k to play to its most best performance which is a downer but mine works well its a 4k but cant do 120 fps the down side is it does get hot on the black soot where the fan is needs to buy a cooling fan to keep it cool bought one on amazon that also tells the temperature so that i can keep an eye on it but plays xbox series s/ x games great there is mo issue at all just need a few accessories to help it run better like a tv with 4k and 120 fps, cooling fan and chargable batteries for the controller. But the console works great i have enjoyed it do far. Would recommend it if someone does not care if its superfast like the series x is.

    Honestly, I’m impressed. It arrived in excellent condition, clean, no scratches, and packaged securely. Setup was quick, it runs smoothly, and performance feels just as solid as a brand-new console. I’ve played everything from fast-paced shooters to open-world games with zero issues: no overheating, no fan noise, no lag.

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 10/10 – A True Next-Gen Powerhouse The Xbox Series S with 1TB of storage is hands-down one of the best gaming consoles ever made. From the moment you turn it on, the performance is nothing short of incredible. Games load almost instantly thanks to the ultra-fast SSD, and Quick Resume lets you jump between multiple titles in seconds with zero hassle. Graphically, the Series S is a beast. Games run smoothly at up to 4K with high frame rates, delivering crisp visuals, rich colors, and incredibly stable performance. Even the most demanding titles feel effortless, with no lag, stuttering, or long load times. Whether you’re playing competitive multiplayer or cinematic single-player games, the experience feels truly next-gen. The 1TB of storage is a huge plus, giving you plenty of space for large modern games without constantly worrying about deleting titles. Combined with backward compatibility, you can enjoy thousands of games from previous Xbox generations, many of which run better than ever with improved frame rates and resolution. Game Pass takes the Series S to another level. Having access to a massive library of high-quality games on day one makes the console an incredible value and perfect for both casual and hardcore gamers. Overall, the Xbox Series S delivers elite performance, excellent storage capacity, and unmatched value. If you want a powerful, reliable, and future-proof gaming console, this is an easy 10/10 recommendation.

    Just What the Doc Ordered

    They say an apple a day keeps the Dr away, same can be said for a kid and his console! Since my son's older Xbox kicked the can I just knew I would end up walking the endless search for the right Xbox for my son. But lo' and behold! Best Buy's app made it a million times easier to look without the walk. I knew what type of Xbox I was looking for, how much storage, and to my luck they were in stock! Best Buy made it more easy to order the exact Xbox I was looking for, AND was ready for pick up the next day and this was on Black Friday! Of course the Xbox was for Christmas, but if you could see the look on his face... Best Buy made that smile happen. And all the hard work I do on a rig throughout the year, to see his smile and happiness... Thank you Best Buy. Ya done it again!

    Performance is good, it's what you would expect from a cheaper next gen console. Runs pretty smooth, and runs quietly. One knock is the storage space can run out quickly with new games requiring 100 gbs.

    My mom has been wanting to game for a few years and so I got this for her for an early mother's day gift! She loves it and can't stop having fun playing her favorite game Disney dream light valley. It runs smooth and hasn't had any issues. Great system for any average daily gamer. Buy it! Never hurts to try new things.

    Works great and very happy with the performance for the console. If you aren’t worried about buying physical games and on a budget. This console is perfect for that. Disappointed about graphics quality on certain games. But I’d take performance over graphical fidelity.

    This is so small that I could hide it behind the wall mounted ONN television. There is actually a little shelf built into the tv that i set it on. You never have to even see the console!
