    Our boys were super excited to receive this for Christmas! I didn't want to deal with the hassle of discs so we went with the Series S. So far no regrets with that. The console was easy to set up and works like a charm. The graphics on the games are excellent. The only regret is that we didn't buy one for each kid! :)

    Series S Review

    Very good console for the price of what it does. For $299 you are getting a pretty good next Gen console for that price with 120fps, and increased loading times than the Xbox One. The Quick Resume is a very handy feature so you can jump back into a game from another game from where you left off. If you are looking to get a Next Gen console and mostly play digital games, I would highly recommend the Xbox Series S. For the value of it, it does pretty well for most games. In conclusion this is a very good Next Gen Console.

    A great console for a reasonable price. I have been waiting to get my Series S for a couple months, but it has been sold out everywhere. I finally snagged it here, and received it within two days. The console itself is surprisingly small, but powerful. Runs everything from COD to Forza amazingly. Coming from a Xbox one to the Series S is a game changer for any casual play, who wants to have the option to really exceed in their gameplay. I would recommend it to anyone who is on the Market for a new Xbox.

    Perfect little machine for streaming/1080P 60 FPS games. Perfect for people who primarily play PC or Playstation titles but still want to try out Xbox Exclusives in the future, albeit probably at a lower graphical fidelity than its Series X brother. The new Xbox One controllers have a very nice textured back now, seem to be better at resisting the inevitable gamer sweat from longer sessions of usage. UI is still the same from the Xbox One if you have used that prior to this; be it feels much snappier thanks to the fast SSD's these new systems use.

    Now I haven't owned an Xbox since I sold my 360 in 2014, and I got to say Microsoft did not disappoint with this console. It is a wonderful entry level console to break into next gen gaming. Pair this with game pass and you can even say that you can compete with budget gaming PC builds (I own a gaming PC myself). I love this little console. What I like most is being able to travel with this for gaming on the go. No need to try to lug my heavy gaming PC around.
