    Next Gen Console gaming on a budget.

    Paired with Xbox game pass, this thing is a great little machine. It's a serviceable machine for the next gen gaming and I'd have no problem recommending this to anyone looking to get into the next-gen console gaming on a budget. The one problem is the internal storage size. You can get the officially licensed expandable storage by Microsoft, or you can just get external storage and store more games on that. You'll have to move the games from the external to internal, but that's faster than having to redownload the games each time. However, if you like the idea of physical discs and true next-gen, I'd save up. This machine does well at what it is designed to do.

    Runs fast and quiet , not taking CDs took me a while to get used to but if you get games during sales it's not so bad. You can realistically only hold 2ish big games or 4 to 5 small games before you run out of system memory.

    Very pleased with the console. Smooth, fast loading gameplay. Impressive graphics for an entry level next gen console. Halo Master Chief collection is superb. The fact that you can chose between the original retro look of the game, or the new remastered look by just pressing a button during gameplay is what's really cool about it. Remastered versions are excellent. Very well done. The vintage nostalgia is there too. Only issue is the hard drive space. Since I can't justify spending $500 on a video game console, I went for this one over the series X. Only need a couple of games at a time anyway. No big deal for me personally. Also, much easier to find this one in stock, unlike the series x and ps5 which, still to this day, sell out almost instantly when they come in stock. Designed more for a casual gamer, who doesn't have and/or need a $2000 television needed to really showcase what those higher priced models can do. Would definitely recommend.

    I went back and forth for several months deciding if I wanted the series x or series s. At the end of the day, I realized that for me personally, the Series S made the most sense. Sure the X has a few more features graphically but I have a really good PC for that. This is perfect for how I play games and the type of games I play personally. It's reasonably sized, has good performance, and just fits me. I would recommend getting the memory expansion card if you can find a deal on it. These days 4-5 AAA titles will fill the available memory. It's not a requirement to get that expansion card however as it will keep your progress files intact even when you uninstall a game to make space for other titles and any title you buy can be added back later or on another series x/s console elsewhere. Glad to Add this one to my collection and given the opportunity i'd buy it again!

    Next gen console. Awesome price. Picked up 3 of them. Storage a little low but thats alright. When this is on sale, or is a bundle your looking for, you cant go wrong. My kids love them.

    Small but surprisingly powerful

    Surprisingly capable for such a tiny console. If you plan on playing on a 1080p screen, this is the machine to buy. (It certainly can output 4k with HDR, but the Series X has higher frame rates and better visual effects.) Completely silent and no disk drive to wear out over time. Another awesome feature -- look into using this for emulation using Retroarch. There are lots of tutorials on Youtube about how to install and play your old Nintendo, SNES, Dreamcast, Playstation, and PS2 games in retail mode (doesn't need Developer mode access). My only concern is only having 512gb of storage. Either buy the storage expansion card or use a USB hard drive because you're going to want to download and play everything on GamePass and you'll run out of storage sooner than you think. TLDR Fantastic value for a great little console.

    This is an amazing price to be able to have access to the latest hardware in the console world and if you don’t use disks anymore than this is the perfect Xbox! I love how it can actually still play supported games at 120fps without sweating as well. Very small form factor so you can place it just about anywhere. I’d say the biggest downside is it having only 512gb of storage out of the box but it’s an ssd so it’s incredibly fast. There is a 1tb model now for $50 more which is another great deal!

    Love it. Provides great performance and even supports old games as well. Playing Fallout New Vegas on it and the differences are phenomenal. Also cheaper and more available than the PS5.

    Got this for my son who loves it and the feature of having disc free gaming is perfect because he never loses a disc never scratches a disc. Access all games on one service that I pay for monthly and I never have a complaint from him. I do recommend it
