    The Xbox was great and after a few weeks of use it does exactly what I expected out of it! I never had a console before but it was extremely easy to pick up, over all great buy and even going to buy accessories to make it even better!

    Made the mistake to buy the 512gb instead of the 1TB but overall it’s really good.

    Very Solid Console. I loved it the moment I took it out of the box. Did a lot of research before purchasing so I knew I would also need an expanded memory card. The graphic design for the games are phenomenal and the thought that went into the precision and direct design blew my mind. The only thing honestly I had an issue with was some of my favorite games had to be redownloaded because of MY failure to understand the backup before switching consoles. The new controllers also have a love hate relationship with me but you can’t have the world. Overall I am above satisfied with my purchase and I am enjoying the console.

    Great console, love that disks are no longer required for games, avoiding disks being scratched or misplaced! Game pass is also a great feature! I just wish it came with more internal storage considering you have to download all of the games onto the device.

    This console works well, games run smoothly and look great. The 512gb model only has enough storage for a few Xbox series X/S games, you can't play any X/S games on an external storage drive

    Amazing product. Waited for a long time to get my significant other an upgrade from the previous generation. On one of her first games she even managed to set her best game ever.

    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.

    I am honestly amazed at the Xbox One Series S. The performance on this console truly is mind blowing… on my old xbox games would take ages to load but now they load basically as soon as I launch them and are ready to play. The price is truly great for the performance and capacity you are getting.
