    Great budget version for next gen gaming. If you are a hardcore gamer, this isnt for you, but as a supplement to a PC or PS5, this is a great way to get xbox exclusives and GamePass.

    It's a great console. I had an older Xbox One and wanted to upgrade for quicker loading times. This console certainly doesn't disappoint. Also, the graphics are great.

    Coming from an original Xbox One. Awesome system for the price, works well for me as I don’t have a tv that would fully display all the Series X can produce. Game Pass Ultímate is a must.

    Great little unit. Nice upgrade from the previous XBOX. Size is perfect. Digital all the way reduces disc clutter and makes life easier for the gamer who doesn’t want to get up to change discs.

    Good quality product. Quiet, doesn't run hot. Only digital games, which I like because you don't have to worry about the disc reader having problems. Price was just right when bought on sale.

    The SSD on the Xbox Series S is awesome. So many games load up almost instantly. I do wish that it came with a 1TB drive instead of the 512GB but I know they had to do that to keep the costs down.
