Best bang for the buck
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This console is a game changer. Load times, FPS, temps you name it, this thing is rolling over the competition. I play pc primarily and use this when I have friends over. I notice similar load times to that of a multi-thousand dollar rig.

Yes
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing value. I have a PS5 with the disc drive and honestly I will be using this over that now. The controller is so much more comfortable and the Xbox games pass is the best deal in gaming out there.

Best System Ever
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My son loves this gaming system. I love how I don’t have to buy the disc...don’t have to worry about the breaking or coming up missing. The only down fall was when I had to re-buy the games that we already had because they were on a disc.

Excellent choice of consoles
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.One of the best consoles available, if you don’t have one you should buy one. One of the smallest consoles I’ve owned, but also one of the most powerful. If you like a big punch packed into a tiny box, this item is for you.

I would recommend this to a friend Fastest loading Xbox yet.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As someone who plays games only from time to time, I really enjoy how fast the load times are. This was a great upgrade from the Xbox one. It was a little hard to come by due to Microsoft’s failed launch, but in the end I’m extremely happy.

For the price, you can't beat the Series S
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.C'mon! Its an Xbox .. my son loves this! His mind was blown because he was sharing mine but he now has his own! The setup was easy but most important, all his saved games and skins transferred over ,, that was key!

Great deal for a great system
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Was skeptical about making the jump to get an Xbox. But I’m glad that I did, wish I’ve bought one sooner. Runs so smooth, thought it was an exaggeration on fast it loads. I love it

A Lil’ Beast!!!!!!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.How they put so much power in this thing is amazing. Althouugh targeted as a 1440p machine some games may play at a dynamic 4k, a game like Outriders plays surprisingly well at 4k/60 frame rates. Worth every$300 which is crazy good value.

Really hard to recommend
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'll keep this review short and quick Pros & Cons Pros- -Great for emulation -backwards compatibility for Xbox 360 and XBOX games run at 1440p -Great for media playback -Price is decent for what this does however try to get this console on sale not full price Cons- -Backwards compatibility for xbox one games do not get any benefit aside from unlocked framerate games -Backwards compatibily for xbox one games it runs the xbox one games not the one X games for some odd reason when this console is cleary powerful enough to do so -Games optimized for Series S still run terribly as of this writing -I would only recommend this console for people with 1080p monitors UNLESS ur using it for backwards comp. for 360 and before games then you get the resolution boost to keep it short save ur money for the series X dont give in to this
No, I would not recommend this to a friend XboxS gets a little hot.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love my new Xbox S. Husband thought he was getting an upgrade, he has One, but I ended up using this. Only thing is it gets hot, I had to purchase a cooling fan to place underneath.
