Many appreciate the ease of use and fast load times, along with the benefits of Xbox Game Pass.

    This is a great way to get into next-gen for a low price. Who needs an optical drive in 2021? And those who say not to buy the S because of the storage... I got news for ya. That 1TB in your series X ain't gonna be enough either in a year or two (if you are a serious gamer). So you're going to end up buying the expanded storage either way.

    Next Gen Gaming at an accessible price point

    Next Gen Gaming comes at an accessible price point. If you're willing to sacrifice a disk drive, this is recommended. Although, beware that you will only get about 380 GB out of the box to use for games and apps, meaning that Microsoft's $220 expansion card is basically a must have. If you can get a series x, get it. Otherwise this is a great alternative.

    Honestly a great current generation console. I definitely recommend game pass ultimate. Only complaint is storage capacity/ the proprietary sea gate expansion card. However, it’s easy enough to buy an external drive and transfer games you’re currently playing back and forth.

    I’ve never owned a non-Nintendo console, and it’s been at least 10 years since I’ve had a console at all. I’m obsessed! Worth the money, especially for me since I don’t play a huge variety of games. Simple set-up, doesn’t take a whole lot of space, and it’s nice and clean too.

    Ever wanted to have a console that plays your games at a good enough resolution to appreciate the visuals at a price that won’t break your pocket? Look no further. Especially if you already own a Playstation and want a backup console to travel or just play something different.

    Got this for my kiddo, they love it! We got the game pass to get access to the library and this thing is like a mini arcade now. So many games to choose from that are free and it fast, graphics are pretty good, the only draw back is the hard drive size, can burn through the drive pretty quickly.

    Great machine for the price. Great graphics and game load times are quick as advertised. However, make sure your TV is a true 4k and check for updates on it. The frame rates are resource intense. If you’re a disc player, you’ll either repurchase your titles or start fresh with the many X/S versions available and remastered coming. And if you’re an “eye candy” player like me, it’s worth starting fresh with the X/S versions. I was waiting, as others, for the X, and who knows when it’ll be available but I’m satisfied with the S. This machine rocks!

    There's a lot of power in this small console for reasonable price . The audio and video are improved from my previous xbox one s , in a slightly smaller package . The one and only complaint I have is that you can not use this system if you don't have a smart phone , my ps5 is plug and play no smart phone activation required .

    I got this system simply due to the fact that the Series X was almost impossible to find. I was worried that games would run poorly or be held back due to the lower specs of the Series S. My worries were put to rest when every game ran extremely smooth. Forza Horizon 5, Halo Infinite, and Flight Simulator all ran great.
