    Microsoft - Xbox Series S 512 GB Review

    This Xbox box is totally AWESOME, I had the Xbox one x and I wanted to upgrade I didn’t want to pay the fee of the full upgrade and this is totally worth the money. There is a huge difference between the Xbox one x and the s series games load a lot quicker & look a lot nicer too. The unit is nice and quite and the overall design is nice and sleek.

    Great entry level console for those looking to spend time gaming. Along with Game Pass, its an overall great buy for a child or those who would like to spend their downtime gaming.

    The series S is definitely a good console. I think the no cd aspect. and downloading the games will be the new normal in the near future. I use it as an extension gaming for my second home to keep the titles and save anywhere i go. loading time is much faster that previous gen console Affordable Great job

    Wish the Series S had a disc drive, it's a great updated console for those looking to move into the next gen without breaking the bank (granted right now nothing is even available as bots/scalpers eat it all up with the silicon shortages) but it also means "backwards compatibility" is basically a lie on this console as all your old games aren't playable on this since it has no disc drive. If you're a 100% digital gamer, than this is the console for you.

    Purchase this system for my daughter. She doesn’t ask for much often so when I saw this on her Wish list, I knew it was a go. Purchased on sale which was great! She loves her new gaming system and plays with friends and family online too! Happy New Year!

    We were 2 systems behind but now we are almost up to date. Great product. Faster and able to handle better graphic capabilities. Controller feels great, which might not seem like much, but it has a slight texture that isn't offensive. A must buy at the $299 price we got it for plus we were able to get $150 for our old xbox1.

    Good purchase affordable & small & light. The only problem is it has shut off about 3x’s since I had it. This can be fix by installing the “insider xbox app”. Download this & this should fix it. Once downloaded you’ll see something that says omega/delta this will fix it...

    This console is very fast! It plays all of my Xbox One games plus upscales to 4K. Looking forward to Series S enhanced games! A great upgrade and more than enough power for most gamers. If you really need a high end graphical experience, go for the Series X. Otherwise, this is more than enough power for most games to look and perform beautifully.

    It plays current and upcoming games for a little over $200. Elden Ring alone was worth it to me.The catalog of games available and the ability to play new releases for this amount of money is a great deal. The performance wasn't bad and the quality was decent. Great for kids or people who occasionally play games or who just don't want to fork over 500+ dollar start up cost.

    This is the 2nd Xbox Series S I have. Purchased this one when I was stranded working in North Dakota for a couple of months and ordered a carrying case for it as well from another vendor. Worked well and was easy to purchase and pick up at the local best buy.
