    It works great! - Runs much smoother than the xbox one. The hard drive space is pretty small though. It's worth buying a external xbox hard drive.

    It's been a few months, this is my first ever console in my life and I am pretty happy with it! I got this like the very end of January, the 30th, actually, and it's July 27 as I write this and all is well, howeverrrr... if I could give 4.5/5 I would because my controller has stick drift already, I don't even play heavily or play heavy games (mainly only Overwatch).

    I recently bought an Xbox from Best Buy, and I couldn't be happier with my purchase! The console runs super smooth, graphics are amazing, and the performance is top-tier. Whether I’m playing solo or online with friends, the experience has been seamless and fast. Best Buy made the process easy – the staff was helpful, checkout was quick, and the Xbox was in perfect condition. I also appreciated the warranty options and clear explanations about setup. Definitely a 5-star experience from start to finish!

    Xbox has always been my childs choice gaming system...hers needed to be replaced due to the HDMI port going out(after however many years since being bought on origianl S series release), and she wanted the same console. No complaints about Xbox Series S.

    Amazing console. Recently switched from the disc version to the non-disc version and see no performance difference at all. This unit is smaller and fits well under the flat screen. Highly recommend!
