    Staying connected

    We bought this as a Christmas present for our daughter who is about to deploy overseas. Her brother and sister each have one and often play together. We figured this would be a great way for them to stay connected while she is gone. She has it all set up and ready to go!

    Small, compact, and great performance for someone looking who plays casually when theyre bored or coming home from working all day. I work 5-6 days a week and I usually come home and try to unwind and throw on a show or listen to some music or play a quick game with friends or family

    Great system and I was grateful to get it from Best Buy when I couldn't find it anywhere else. I don't have the need to play too many games, just a few, and I'm fine not having the physical disk drive. I like how compact and well designed this is. Very quick and simple to set up anywhere.

    So far so good. My 8 year old loves this system! Although setting up the system is kinda over tech savvy for a mom who doesn’t game. You need to set up accounts for the kid and accounts for you to monitor your child which is great but it’s also kinda a lot. Back in the day you pop in a game and just play, miss the old days. But once you get pass the whole set up it is a cool system.

    Crazy fast and super small. I am amazed at how well this device works and it looks great on my 55 inch QLED tv. I would recommend an external SSD due to the intense size of current games. Aside from that it is a great unit and super fast. Highly recommend! Great job Micrsoft!!

    Kept looking for the Xbox Series X but could not get a hold of it so I decided to buy this S series instead and it actually surprised me how awesome of a console it is. Downside is the memory to it which is about 340gbs but the resolution and the quality of playing games on it is still amazing! It’s also quite small and compact for its power!

    Originally I was a PlayStation player, I own both PS3 and PS4. I have to say that buying this Xbox is honestly one of the best decisions I could’ve made. It is incredibly fast and smooth. The GamePass is also one of the best things I could’ve gotten with it. I will be getting a PS5 at some point not the future but for now, I’m loving my Xbox 10/10 recommend.

    At first I was a little skeptical on how it would handle Fallout 76 with FPS Boost on but man oh man has this little machine blown me away. It runs the game at 1080p with a consistent 60fps, even my $800 pc has trouble running the game at 1080p high settings with a consistent 60fps, i like it so much i went ahead and bought 2 more for my 2 nephews. 10/10
