    Microsoft Knocks it Out of the Park Again

    Microsoft knocked it out of the park with both the Xbox Series X and the Xbox Series S! I would recommend either of them, the graphics are amazing, the load times even more amazing, and they're both compact enough to not take up huge amounts of room, like their counterpart PS5...

    We purchased this console as a Christmas gift, so the young man who will receive it has yet to test it out. However, he has played with it at friends' homes and he love it. So, I am confident that he will enjoy various games with this Xbox for a long time.

    Purchased for my niece she loves playing this system. She wanted a PS5 initially but I was unable to get my hands on one. This system was the back up plan. She loves it and has forgotten all about the PS5. She enjoys playing online with friends and family.

    I bought this console for its small form factor and price tag. One thing reviewers have not touched on is the portability of the console. Fit snuggly in my backpack as I travelled for 40 hours+. With the absurd prices PC gaming costs, this is probably your best bet for cheap, 2k gaming.

    This was a purchase for my son and he absolutely loves it. He plays a ton of Fortnite and I love watching him play on the 4k tv. Graphics are really nice. I can buy the hard drive for more storage, but games download quickly and he's not complaining. Overall great product.

    I really like this system. I love the size and sleek design. It is so much smaller than the PS5 and just as powerful. I don’t buy disc games anymore so it is perfect for me. It is also affordable and is easy to find. I definitely recommend the XBOX Series S to all games both hardcore and casual!

    Great product. Got it for my granddaughter and she loves it. I have the series x in the living room hooked up to the good tv. She has a small tv in her bedroom and this is perfect for her. She has already earned 21000 Microsoft Rewards points which is nearly $25. Couldn’t be happier

    Excellent system plays all games in 4k resolution didn't really think I would like the digital version though, found that it wasn't bad only problem is it doesn't have enough storage. I have five games downloaded and the one I just bought wouldn't download unless I deleted one or two.

    I finding got my hands on this console. I bought this for my son and he loves it. I appreciate the simple process to get this product. Overall the devices works well, don’t take up a lot of space, however; storage went out fast but nothing that an external drive won’t fix.

    Ok it’s not the ps5 but I already got that so I got the series s because I was not going to pay the same as a ps5 with less games, yes I am PlayStation guy but I did get a series s just so I could enable dev mode and run retro arch and run generations of consoles. For that reason alone 5 star

    This machine is better than people think. Yes it is the “budget console” but this thing is pretty strong and I can enjoy all the next gen and optimized games on it. Would definitely recommend getting the expansion ssd because the internal storage is small even for previous generation.

    My son absolutely loves this gaming system over the previous generation. It has more dynamic worlds, faster load times, and the design is really nice. Happy of the price as well. The only thing is you will need to buy an external drive for more storage space.

    Got lucky and scored this during a restock. Awesome upgrade from the XBox one. Shipping box was a little thrashed, but the series S box was pristine. Shipped fast, and on time with the estimate. All in all, great experience, and so happy I finally got one of these!

    I've had both the Series S and the Series X and it's hard to see the difference really. For the price, this seems to be the winner. Only downside is the smaller harddrive. Otherwise, great gaming system.
