    The Xbox is definitely one powerful system that I enjoy and love so much. Not having to worry about buying a a CD and just being able to download the game is so great. Also buying it from Best buy made this whole process this whole experience very easy.

    Great step up from a Xbox One S. Boot and load times are extremely fast, literally night and day from previous generation consoles. Highly recommend the series S if you can't get your hands on a series X.

    My son loves this gaming system. I love how I don’t have to buy the disc...don’t have to worry about the breaking or coming up missing. The only down fall was when I had to re-buy the games that we already had because they were on a disc.

    Great system but if you can spend the extra for the X! The processing power is good but on the X it is noticeable!

    System runs great. Got it for when traveling for work. Have a Series X at home. Definitely not as powerful as that but runs everything I want it to while traveling. Limited storage is a draw back.

    Series S surprised me

    I was so surprise how great the Series S. The fan is so quiet and playing games has never been so easy. The only negative to me was the storage size. I ended up buying an external storage to save my Xbox one games on it. But overall I am very happy with the look of it and with gamepass, I really don’t miss having a disc to put in. I highly recommend.

    More impressive than I ever thought. For such a low price this thing is very powerful. The quick resume feature is mind blowing. Now the 364GB of storage is an issue but it’s enough for 2-3 triple A games at a time

    As someone who plays games only from time to time, I really enjoy how fast the load times are. This was a great upgrade from the Xbox one. It was a little hard to come by due to Microsoft’s failed launch, but in the end I’m extremely happy.

    I love this console. I love the size of it. The hard drive is to small, but it can be replaced by a external hard drive. Games run and load fast. Planing to buy another one.
