    I purchased this Xbox Series S for my son after his PS4 started having issues. He likes it more than the Playstation!

    not as good as the ps5. less powerful than the X but worth the price if you really want to start getting into the gaming world. But i would rather save up for the X or the PS5. The ps5 has more exclusives that you cant play anywhere else.

    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.

    Pros: This Xbox is quite nice when it comes to size. Fits well in my entertainment center. It’s great on sound, not too loud and doesn’t seem to overheat much. Especially with having a decent sized fan on the top for ventilation. It connects well with any new or even older television and sound system. Cons: Still not enough space offered. With being digital there is a constant need to manage or limit games and downloadable content. Also might be good to offer additional colors. Ex: space gray, etc..

    Just get Gamepass and you'll never run out of games to play. I have had this for over a year and never once regretted that purchase or thought about paying for another game. I am admittedly a casual gamer but I honestly think this has been the most satisfied I have been with a console in a few generations, possibly since the PS2.

    Excellent console that I’ve had now for a year and it has not let me down at all. Furthermore, this console is entry level with low space and a cheap price. Also, with three HDMI plugins it’s very useful and has an amazing performance.

    Great If You Don't Need 4K

    I purchased my Xbox Series S as an upgrade to my launch day Xbox One. I do not have a 4K TV so I thought this would be a good purchase and I really like it so far. The load times are great and I notice overall much faster performance in most games I play. The UI is identical to the Xbox One generation which I find to be a big plus and the backwards compatibility is very good. The only downside I see is the console only has 500GB of built-in storage. I would very much recommend an external drive for backwards compatible games as the built-in storage only leaves 364GB usable. If you do not care about 4K games or just want to get into the Xbox ecosystem on the cheap, I think this is a good purchase. If you care a lot about 4K gaming, it would probably be best to spend the extra for the Xbox Series X.
