    The boot up is really fast, the graphics are a little better than the xbox one and the download times are fantastic. I downloaded a 156GB game in 10 minutes and it took my bf 2 hours on his xbox one. Biggest flex over him lol. Buy it at 12am to 3 am for pickup in your area, you have a higher chance of actually getting it while it's in stock without delivery fees; Same with the series x. They restock roughly every Tuesday or Friday that Microsoft ships out from what I have observed.

    I got this instead of the PS5 because I couldn't get a PS5. I was pleasantly surprised by the gaming versatility and available games. The games I add from my desktop can be played on the Xbox and if I had an Android phone, there too. This system is the 2nd favorite in our house, after the Switch.

    Wow, this thing is smaller than an Xbox One S. I'm very surprised by the size and the capability of this system. Overall it works great and the only downside is that you can't play blue rays or any disc. The Microsoft store does have a lot of affordable content and is worth it considering the price.

    Amazing console! I've always used Xbox and this runs all of my games perfectly and pairs amazing with our Sony Bravia line TV! Even older titles like BLACK and the Dead Space trilogy!

    Everything seems great so far. The only unfortunate thing is the lack of optimized games at the moment. Fast loading, and great graphics. The system is a lot smaller in size and doesn't take up a bunch of room. So far I'm happy with the price point, and as of now am not missing having access to a disc drive. The only issue I had was trying to set it up through the app. If you don't do it then it takes a bit longer to set up. Also, if you miss the code the only way to get it is by doing a factory reset.

    Great but games are over priced.

    The device itself performs great and games look amazing on a 4k 60hz TV. The drop of a star is because games for this device are overpriced. The game I wanted, Watch Dog Legions is $59.99 digital versus $17 for the disk (at this moment). Not being able to resale the game and not wasting physical material including shipping cost should reflect in a digital product for games. This really lowers the value of the device as 4 discounted disk games make the difference between this and the Series X.

    I liked everything about this xbox the graphic was nice the frame rate was great. The way it plays my games are smooth and no lagging but the only problem that i had out of it was the storage. It takes 2 big games and the storage it already full like come on. My xbox one enhanced has at least 12 games in there and the majority of my games are big sized. With most of them being assassin creed or call of duty. If this xbox cant even handle 2 games without being full then i would reconsider but other than that it was great. P.S for all the i ppl who are gonna say why dont u just buy an external drive its much easier. Do you have the money to give me that if not oh well.

    I was looking to upgrade from my Xbox One and decided to go with the Series S since I am only a “casual gamer.” I’m glad I did! The counsel performs very well and the games look amazing. The Series S was a great upgrade.

    This a great option for last generation gaming if you can’t find any other in stock or they want to charge you over the original price. It’s a great gaming console, with a lot of games and simulators. Very happy with it!.
