    I was on the Sony playform with the PS3 ans PS4. I couldn’t find a PS5 for the last couple years then opted to get this system and couldn’t be happier. It does everything the PlayStation does. Im glad i have it.

    Excellent system plays all games in 4k resolution didn't really think I would like the digital version though, found that it wasn't bad only problem is it doesn't have enough storage. I have five games downloaded and the one I just bought wouldn't download unless I deleted one or two.

    I just bought it and don't play but, from what I can see, it works great. I like that all the games are streamed and no more game boxes laying around. Bought it especially for the Flight Simulator and it works great. I was worried I'd need the X series to steam that game.

    The Xbox Series S is unfortunately a bit underwhelming and often times a bit frustrating. The networking gear on it is not vamped up or powerful in any way which really sucks because its a download only console (like why). Besides that point it also tends to close applications occasionally. Lastly the NEXT GEN game catalogue has just been really underwhelming this console generation. It runs really well as a media hub for your home theatre (ie, runs your apps and shows well)] Controllers have stick drift often and storage you can download a half a game and a backstreet boys CD and hit max capacity.

    I’m a PS user and this is my first Xbox I own. I’m really impressed with the performance for the price. I really enjoyed the game pass library. If you’re PS owner I think this worth buying to have access for exclusives like Halo and gears for wars as well as multi platform games in game pass.

    This was a purchase for my son and he absolutely loves it. He plays a ton of Fortnite and I love watching him play on the 4k tv. Graphics are really nice. I can buy the hard drive for more storage, but games download quickly and he's not complaining. Overall great product.

    Xbox S 512 GB All Digital console is amazing. I love that I don't have to worry about disc scratches running your purchase. In addition, the loading speed of the games is so quick. If you are on the fence, I'd highly recommend purchasing this unit over a PS5

    For the price it gets the job done, If you are big on gaming or just want the best id go with the Series X for sure.

    Came in great condition, unlike other purchases to where I had to return it due to a faulty hardware, but since purchasing I've ran into no problems, very happy I have finally gotten a new gen console after trying so many times looking through Amazon andal other stores

    I have a series x already but needed a next gen for the living room. The series x was out of stock so i grabbed this b4 the proposed price increase. Also picked up a memory card bc 500gb is not enough.

    This is my first ever Xbox. I’ve played Playstation my whole life and I’m absolutely floored by how similar it is and the ease of use for beginners. Gameplay also looks spectacular

    Bought this as a gift. Great value for a next gen (sort of) console. I prefer a disc system which allows me to buy used games
