    It plays current and upcoming games for a little over $200. Elden Ring alone was worth it to me.The catalog of games available and the ability to play new releases for this amount of money is a great deal. The performance wasn't bad and the quality was decent. Great for kids or people who occasionally play games or who just don't want to fork over 500+ dollar start up cost.

    I purchased this console through Bestbuy and I was so excited to see what all the hype was about. My first game I downloaded was GTA 5 and the gameplay was phenomenal on the console and the graphics were amazing. Highly recommend!!

    Was very happy with the ease of picking this up using preorder. This was a very easy product to set up. The Xbox came with easy to use instructions. I was able to access to game store and order a few games immediately with ease. Definitely get the Game Pass. Also suggest having a fast internet service.

    So this is my first x box. Still learning how it works but so far it’s a ton of fun. My bundle came with a second controller and 3 months of game pass. Forza horizon 5 is a blast. I’m amazed by the graphics. The controllers feel great, love the texture and grip.

    Settled for the S due to the X being so hard to find. The Xbox Series S is a tough console to nail down. It's next-gen, but with one rather large drawback; it isn't a 4K games console, which will undoubtedly rule out some potential buyers from the off. But it is about more than just resolution. It slays with XBOX live.
