    I needed a temporary entertainment console when I moved. This little Xbox provided exactly the kind of casual gaming i needed after work. Not too expensive, and runs well

    I have the xbox series X and love it but it’s to big to travel with so I bought the series S as my travel gaming console and I love how small and portable it is compared to other consoles.

    Coming from a one s this is very similar. The setup was easy. The load times are noticeably faster and the picture is so much sharper. It works with my wolverine controller. I'm happy with this purchase.

    My son loves his new Xbox. He had an older model for years before this new model. He especially likes that it is so much smaller than his older model.

    was very skeptical at first about getting this system because I normally place on the ps4. However, it is so amazing. My boyfriend and I love it so much I had to buy to controllers because we couldn't share lol.

    This was difficult to get but Best Buy added the email verification which eliminated the bots! Well done and a great system! Got the no disc version for my two sons with the game pass, more than enough games for them.

    Unlike GPUs and the more powerful consoles, this one has stock often. For $300 it's amazing. Crazy fast loadtimes with reasonably good visuals and framerates.

    I got it from the open box store because they had it priced wrong which was lower than it should have been so it was a win for me.

    I finally got my Xbox series s. The only thing I don’t like is that there isn’t really a lot of space. After spending 316 dollars on the console I can spend another 220 for a card with an extra tb of space on it.

    I am very happy and impressed with this console. Love the fast load times and the 60 FPS gameplay. The console is also very quiet when on and running games. I would definitely recommend this to anyone.
