    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.

    It seems more powerful than they claim it to be. I bought this to replace my One S and it can perform circles around that system! If going discless is your thing, this little system if a steal at this price! If you can manage and afford to get the Series X, definitely get that one, but there's no denying the bargain of the Series S

    Got the S, due to limited availability of the X. Higher resolution doesn't make that much of a difference, smaller size is more portable, but I would have liked the option of connecting a USB DVD, which you can't. Also forces you to buy the games from a single source. All things I knew when I bought it.

    The Xbox Series S is unfortunately a bit underwhelming and often times a bit frustrating. The networking gear on it is not vamped up or powerful in any way which really sucks because its a download only console (like why). Besides that point it also tends to close applications occasionally. Lastly the NEXT GEN game catalogue has just been really underwhelming this console generation. It runs really well as a media hub for your home theatre (ie, runs your apps and shows well)] Controllers have stick drift often and storage you can download a half a game and a backstreet boys CD and hit max capacity.

    I have 2 series S for my kids, Xbox series x for myself and PS5 disc version. The series s performs just as well in my opinion. No, it doesn’t have quite as powerful processing speeds or as good of graphics but it performs amazing. I would highly recommend this if you want a PS5 and an Xbox

    So little and so quiet. Bought the Series S for my daughter who just loves the Destiny franchise and it’s been everything as advertised. Super fast loading times and games look better than I thought they would considering the power of the series S is comparable to the PlayStation 4 Pro. Great little system. Just wish it had more hard drive space.

    My son loves his console this is strictly the new generation that is on digital so anything digital from your other Xbox console will transfer over with no problem once you sign in And you can hook up other storage devices you do not need the $200 storage device!
