This has been a really great game system for my son I love not having CDs everywhere has been the best part of this whole experience it's small enough for him to move around with it sometimes he takes it to friends houses to go play video games and once again we don't have to worry about CDs getting scratched Great

I am pleased with my purchase. This is a great value buy for the Xbox gamer because it won’t break the bank and you get the 3 months of GamePass for free! The GamePass alone makes it worth it because you have access to so much! If you’re thinking of purchasing- do it.

Perfect gift at an excellent price. I would highly recommend this Xbox as a gift for someone on a budget. You get the game pass and everything included as well. Definitely worth the price right now because you can get the 3 yr warranty and it would still be the same price before the market down!

Gotta say as a first time “gamer” this has been a great beginner system. Price point was good at the time of purchase and i do have to say that even though 512GB may seem like a lot. I would encourage you all to purchase the 1TB version if you can splurge for the extra space.

I bought this system because I wanted an upgrade from my old console but didn't want to pay $500 for a new console. It still looks better than my last gen console, and has access to the games I wouldn't be able to play on my old gen console.

Worth the price with the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. I completed playing 5 different games so far and couldn't have if I had to buy them individually. The only problem would be storage but for the price its pretty good. You can buy an external storage.

My son wanted this for Christmas. He wanted the one that Fortnite game was already installed,which was more expensive. I was able to get Xbox s series digital with three month game pass under 300.00. it was easy set up and my son is happy!

I bought this for my boyfriends son. He loves it because it’s compact enough that he can take it between houses. He is already an Xbox user and seems to prefer this over the other models. It’s definitely the best present he got for Christmas.

Easy to setup, great product! It is all that it claims to be. I bought an external hard drive that was cheaper than buying the bigger XBox. Some games can not even be saved on it so you need to buy one anyways. Purchase this product!

The only complaint I have is the storage space is way too small for next gen games. You can only store a couple games without a storage upgrade.

Great investment for a casual/beginner gamer. You can play most games without buffer or issues plus streaming works well as well. Only issue is lack of crossplay opportunities.

The Series S is great for the very casual gamer. To be fair, I ended up swapping mine for a Series X down the road but that is mainly due to storage. The 512gbs will get you a couple of games, just was too small for me. However if you plan to use Xbox's streaming feature that can save you a ton of space. Great console if you don't have the budget for the Series X or don't care about having 1-5 games on the console at a time.

Love this Xbox. Easier to transport than the Series X. The memory is limited, but with a hard drive you can store a lot more and move your games around.

Great console if youre not a really hardcore gamer, graphics are solid. You dont need an expensive monitor. Any monitor 1080 with at leats 100 hz should be fine for this console. Only con is storage
