    This is the 5th one I've bought over the past few years. (I've given them as gifts) everyone loves them! I actually prefer mine to my PS5 and my Series X, just for the portability factor... It's really tiny. Games look great on it, just a little downgraded if you play at 4K. But I don't mind it at all. Well worth the $240 it's on sale for!

    This series s is nothing short of amazing what it offers for the price. A very small sleek well made powerhouse of a console for only $299, You will have a hard time noticing any difference in graphics or gameplay between this series s compared to the series x or PlayStation 5. I own all three and I’m telling you if this is the only console you own your good. If you have a 4K tv it will upscale games to 4K as well. The console being all digital is not a problem for me as most disc games make you download huge files before even play anyway. And with gamepass you get so many free games to play you be busy a long time. Grab this console it will surprise you.

    I've used my original Xbox One as my secondary console for over 6 years now and it's been a Halo/Gears/Forza machine. I picked up a PS5 a few months ago and absolutely loved the console. Well I decided to give Xbox another chance decided to pick up the less powerful Series S. I'm so glad I made that decision because my PS5 has been collecting dust since picking up my series. I've been addicted to playing Forza and all my friends on PC are able to play some Halo with me thanks to cross-play. People will preach Gamepass over and over and I can't agree more. It's an absolute must if you're considering picking up an Xbox. The ONLY reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because I sadly had to return the first Xbox Series S. I originally set up my series S and noticed something was wrong when I tried navigating the system. The up button on the D-Pad started to stick and the console became unusable essentially. Went to Best Buy to return it and luckily they were able to just switch it out for a new controller. Instead of having to order a new console altogether. Overall I highly recommend this console and hopefully, you don't deal with the defect I did.

    I'm not a 'gamer', I've had an xbox360 for many years, played very rarely, and I was happy with that. I got this system because I wanted to play certain new games. I found it very easy to use and set up. I don't know enough about systems to compare graphics, but I can say that if you are hesitant and trying to buy your first game system, this is a great choice!

    This product is very good. The packaging was well done and there was nothing missing; it was a great budget version of the Series X. Very fun to play with and very nice games. An overall good job.
