    Really fantastic little unit! For its size, it's powerful and fast. It's gonna run all of the indie games out there just fine and even stuff like Halo Infinite quite well. The storage space is extremely limited. You can always add more space but it might be money better spent on the Series X instead.

    My son had the older version and we upgraded to this one. Dont really see that much of a difference since he only plays minecraft and fortnite. I did notice that the start up time is quicker since we played them side by side. It was nice to be able to get this from best buy where everywhere else was sold out and wouldnt ship it to us

    Best purchase you could ever have if your lifestyle is to get some spare time after work and weekends ! Performance is excellent , quick resume , the only thing I’d suggest would be to get an SSD or external HardDrive to store more games since is only 512GB. The rest is amazing!

    Good price works well better system for Game Pass. One snag is the deleting and redownloading of games since the true hard-drive space is only 364gb

    I had to settle for the series s because I could not find the series x anywhere and when I did find it it was extremely expensive. So with that being said I love my series s. It barely takes up space. Haven't had any issues with downloading or games lagging or anything like that.

    If you don’t want to spend the extra money for the x this works just as good besides may need to invest in extra storage

    My best friend loved this purchase. I got it for him as a birthday gift! We play it all the time together, and he loves how it uses all his online data and storage making gaming easier then ever for him on his Microsoft account. The only problem is how he doesn’t like to take turns with his games, he’s a bit of a game hog.

    This console is very fast! It plays all of my Xbox One games plus upscales to 4K. Looking forward to Series S enhanced games! A great upgrade and more than enough power for most gamers. If you really need a high end graphical experience, go for the Series X. Otherwise, this is more than enough power for most games to look and perform beautifully.

    This product is amazing the only drawback I've found is Rockstar requires you to repurchase gta v on the series consoles as for the system it's self I love it most games load in less than ten seconds it's incredibly compact and I love the expansion options too in short buy this system

    So happy with the size and weight of this Xbox. Nowadays we don’t the disk port so it’s perfect only thing is the storage is smaller or easily used

    This is my first Xbox. So far, I enjoy every minute that I spend playing games on the Xbox system. I was trying to buy the one x but now I changed my mind. I prefer 1 s because it’s less expensive, not so big, and considering the price point, the difference in specs between the one x and s is insignificant.
