    Great system for a good price. Definitely needs the 1tb added plug in but especially with the scarcity of the x series, this a great option.

    I love my series s... So much so that I got a series x as soon as one was available. This is now my son's Xbox and is a great entry level next gen console.

    Gamepass is amazing, I could play many genre games without purchasing them directly, and while also enjoy beautiful graphics and amazing performance.

    It was cool best buy had this in stock when no one else could for more than 30 minutes but I returned it as game stop had a fresh stock of the series x under the all access bundle exclusively which meant scalpers couldn't out stock it, I plan on getting one of these later on though as the series xbox's play games smoother than anything else I've played and my pc has rdna1 specs, 4k is absolutely optional, just get a 120 display and get the all access bundle because it discounts gamepass for buying in bulk and the first week you will have over 500$ in games played :)

    I was skeptical about getting one because I already had a PS5 but wanted this Series S for Gamepass and Emulation. Oh my what an aamzing device! I even bought the OG MW2 and been playing backwards compatibility games. You will not regret this little machine! I have also been playing a lot of PS2 games on this unit through developer mode. Must buy!!

    Good way to get into current gen gaming

    Definitely a step up from the previous gen, and does everything I want it to, but I will probably upgrade to the X in the future. Not a lot of onboard storage, but can use an external for legacy games. I'm happy with my choice at the moment though. It's a good entry into the current gen consoles.

    I was surprised about the size of the xbox compared to previous model. Its very practical for console play and decent graphics for the price. It doesn't replace a PC but highly recommended forgiving fun! 2K is great for casual gaming. 4K recommend going with Xbox Series X

    Very good design and controller. Crisp movement and the remote play was almost seemless. Combined with game pass, this is the ultimate entry level next gen console. I will be getting the x for the 4k/120 but I'll hate to let this go.

    Nice xbox but if you play a lot of games and need memory you might buy the bigger memory xbox.
