    Every good system. Not as good as the X, but every close be hide. In some instances it beats the X in loading times or handles some games a little better.

    Husband loved it! That’s all I need to say. I don’t understand why they force you to say more. It’s not genuine if you do that. HOWEVER, he said was one of the best gifts I ever gave.

    I was clueless about the difference between this and my son's original Xbox One. He did some research and explained it to me like it was 1997: yes, it plays the old games, but the new ones look and play much better and faster.

    Truely an upgrade from xbox one. Much much faster operations and you can have quick lqunch games, something xbox one cannot handle. I got this because i cant find the series x. This definitely suffices and i may not even get the series x now.

    not bad of a xbox just if you have a 4k tv or monitor i would recommend the series X since that outputs true 4k resolution in games but if you cant wait of getting a series x and want a xbox that does the same just lower resolution

    I love my Xbox! I use it in my bedroom when I am relaxing after chemo treatments so I can play Xbox game pass games while laying in my comfy bed or in the living room (super easy to move it from room to room) rather than sitting at my computer that has a very uncomfortable chair. Really love this system and it is replacing my old Xbox 360 that I rarely use anymore but have found myself using this system a lot. I do feel like the controllers aren’t as nice as the Xbox 360 ones. The plastic seems cheaper and the sticks don’t move as smoothly so that is a bummer.

    It provides great value as a secondary platform. I'm a primarily PC gamer and I bought the Series S for its backwards compatibility for the games that missed PC and Game Pass (PC game pass is a technical mess not worth bothering with). Pair that with Microsoft rewards points that you can get from using the Xbox and playing Game Pass games and the value is hard to beat if your taste in games lines up with what's on offer.

    It’s a pretty good console for the money but the storage kinda sucks. You can only install a couple of games because games take so much storage now.
