Many appreciate the ease of use and fast load times, along with the benefits of Xbox Game Pass. However, some users point out limitations in storage capacity and the lack of a disc drive as significant drawbacks. The console's resolution capabilities also receive mixed feedback.

    S vs X

    I have both the s and the x in two different setups. I actually think I like the S better. Sure the X has more bells and whistles, but the S does just fine and I don't miss the other features

    Xbox did it’s thing here. If you want to get into console gaming this is the place to start! 512g (remember this) but other than that awesome device! So many features and add ons! Grab one!

    I was waiting on Ps5 but got tired of waiting to be loyal too a brand and decided if an Xbox became available retail I would go for it!!! The only way to beat scalping is to never buy from them period!!! I love this Xbox I’m very impressed and would say don’t wait for ps5 or even the X, I know some hardcore gamers with 10,000 TVs say the X is better but I have a medium priced 4K 160fps tv and I couldn’t find a reasonable complaint as for space I have 4-5 games downloaded at a time and you can expanded storage easily if needed! Hope this helps one last thing be sure to get game pass ultimate and don’t pay for a game until you see what you can play there for free!

    I love my Xbox! I use it in my bedroom when I am relaxing after chemo treatments so I can play Xbox game pass games while laying in my comfy bed or in the living room (super easy to move it from room to room) rather than sitting at my computer that has a very uncomfortable chair. Really love this system and it is replacing my old Xbox 360 that I rarely use anymore but have found myself using this system a lot. I do feel like the controllers aren’t as nice as the Xbox 360 ones. The plastic seems cheaper and the sticks don’t move as smoothly so that is a bummer.

    Great console that’s fun to play and cheap to operate. Nice to just buy digital games to reduce additional carbon footprint a bit.

    Great console

    This a a great console for 1080p and 1440p gaming at 60 fps. It will still look great on a 4K panel as well. If you are coming from an Xbox one console you won’t regret this at all the graphics, load times, and the way it feels is all so much better. The ssd makes all the difference with the loading times and fluidity if the UI. I think coming from an Xbox one X, this is a good upgrade as well, since new games won’t be optimized for the One X anymore in the coming years. If you’re a casual gamer this is perfect, if you’re a hardcore gamer that wants the best fps and best resolution the series X is the better option. One downside is the storage capacity. It is marketed as a 512 gb drive but only 300 and something is usable. I personally don’t play that many games at once so it is fine but if you play lots of huge games then the series x is the better option. I also feel like marketing this as a 1440p console is not truly accurate as most titles run at 1080p 60 and sometimes 1440 30. Overall I am happy with my purchase and it is a great and affordable way to experience next gen games.

    Excellent System! If you don't mind going all digital as I pretty much did with the Xbox One X, then you'll be fine. What amazed me most of all is how fast it is. It literally boots to a ready state twice as fast as the PS5 which I also have.

    Better deal than subbing to XBLU monthly and buying a console. A bit more expensive than buying 8x 3-month cards and a console.

    This is a nice upgrade from my original Nintendo. Too bad I can’t play Mario on it. I guess I’ll never be able to save the queen since she’s always in another castle. The graphics are great! Way better than the boxy Nintendo graphics. I downloaded Microsoft Flight Simulator and I am amazed by how it’s like you are really flying. I get so carried away that I fly for hours. It makes for an upset wife when I tell her I can’t do chores. You know you take take off in a plane on a scheduled 2 hr flight and stop the flight early. You have to land that bad boy. And boy did I grease the landing when I did. The landing was a 9/10. Anyhow this is a great console. Great apps and great games.

    21st Birthday and my gaming son wanted the new Xbox Series S. Loves playing Madden and the new College Football games on it with his friends. Doubles as a smart device letting him get on NetFlix, Max etc so he does not need a Smart TV at college.
