However, some users point out the limited storage space as a significant drawback, and the lack of a disc drive is also a recurring concern for some buyers.

    Simply Amazing XBOX S

    I upgraded from my 2016 XBOX and yes microsoft makes amazing gaming system products that last years. I’ve owned every xbox since they came out in 2004 and although the 2nd generation had its quality control flaws due to high demand and quick production the following generations have proven Microsoft engineering remains stellar. This latest generstiin loads too fast and even holds your last gaming session in a quick load state so instant load on power even in power save standby mode. I play fortnite and FPS is held at 60 no matter what and load time have dropped from 60 seconds to 5-10 sevonds on multiplayer battle royale loads. You wont be disappointed and the price point is very affordable.

    Got this to give for a gift and they couldn't be happier. Xbox has so many games, especially when pared with GamePass, so the fun never ends. Plus you just can't beat the price, just great all around.

    I'm enjoying every second of this system. I went digital because of the price, but I'm finding out that I don't really care about physical copies. Definitely worth it.

    Next gen console for $300 plus in game items, the graphics are amazing, the loading times are so fast, and if I’m correct during Christmas time it costs $240, this console is very much worth it

    This item was the best budget gaming console. If your looking for a console where you play little to over 60 gb per game this is it. Over all this was the best console I had gotta yet

    I upgraded from the xbox one because my ping would always be over 100, I experienced major lag during online play. Decided to make this purchase and my ping sits around 30-40 with no lag.

    Wanted an inexpensive console with a large library of games (with gamepass subscription) to help keep someone entertained and distracted from chronic medical issues. This fit the bill. Just wish the built-in storage capacity was greater and lack of manufacturer competition for storage expansion means you pay a higher premium for the optional storage.
