    Such a fun little console compared to the Xbox Series X. And also very cheap. The fact that it does 120FPS is crazy for this tiny thing.

    Finally got one of these and it runs pretty smooth. It is definitely an upgrade from the original Xbox one! Was smaller than expected but very space saving.

    I recently purchased the Xbox S series for my 9 year old son’s birthday. The Series S is great for the price. We play most of our games through Xbox Game Pass or digital download so the cd drive was not needed. The storage (512 GB) leaves a lot to be desired but I was easily able to find a 1 TB external hard drive and format it easily to the Xbox. I will say that there have been some bugs such as cloud gaming not working and local multiplayer, but for the price it’s a good console.

    The console is great, for anyone on the fence of whether this is worth upgrading to, if you like game pass and want next gen speeds, this is a no brainer.

    I got this gaming system bc my husband and grandson love to play each other on our old system but now we are moving to another state and that wasn't going to be possible. With this system they can play each other remotely. My husband is still learning to play but is enjoying it.
