    I love this console! It's so small and easy to move around or travel with. Perfect for a game pass subscription and your second TV or kids room.

    For $50 less than an OLED Nintendo Switch, the series s punches way above its class in performance and sheer amount of games.

    It’s everything I’d hoped it would be and best thing is Best Buy has it in stock and at the original price they do not gouge. Happy.

    This is for my son. He loves that he doesn't need disks as he has a disability and it makes it easy for him to use himself. Great purchase.

    Fast load times, slower than the Series X but not by much. Will need to buy a separate storage for this one. The 500gb is barely enough for 3 games nowadays.

    A great upgrade for Xbox. Definitely worth the money if you don’t mind losing out on the disk drive. Load times are far better. Backwards compatibility is a great feature. Quick resume is fantastic. Doesn’t make a lot of noise. Sometimes forget it’s there.
