    This is truly next gen! The size of this is perfect! I paired it with a portable monitor by a company that made a design specifically for it and it just got even better! Next gen at last gen price! Love it

    This a great option for last generation gaming if you can’t find any other in stock or they want to charge you over the original price. It’s a great gaming console, with a lot of games and simulators. Very happy with it!.

    We purchased this console as a Christmas gift, so the young man who will receive it has yet to test it out. However, he has played with it at friends' homes and he love it. So, I am confident that he will enjoy various games with this Xbox for a long time.

    Bought this as a gift. Great value for a next gen (sort of) console. I prefer a disc system which allows me to buy used games

    Very happy with the S, not playing 4k so don't need the big brother. Unit is surprisingly small, which is great - I was able to mount it on the back of the TV so it's completely out of site (custom mounting that I improvised myself) and being disc-free positioning is not a relevant.

    I have both Series X and A. SERIES x is definitely more powerful but I love how compact this Series S model is. If graphics isn't really important to you or maybe you have a 1080ptv and no4, I would really recommend this model over series x. Game pass is highly recommend too

    I've had both the Series S and the Series X and it's hard to see the difference really. For the price, this seems to be the winner. Only downside is the smaller harddrive. Otherwise, great gaming system.

    Love this little Xbox. I’m a PS5 player first and foremost, so I knew the Xbox would take a back seat, but excellent for what I use it for. Lack of disk drive can be frustrating, but super fast and great if you use it for things like Netflix and all in addition to games.

    This is very small and it weighs around 5 pounds and its very quiet and downloading games on the internal storage is very fast. This is recommended for those who have game passes and wants to play it there besides PC cause Outriders is coming to game pass day one for consoles only.

    I bought the Xbox series s for both my son & daughter for Christmas last year (2021) my son love his Xbox my daughter doesn’t. I don’t like it neither I want to get the series x because all the games with the console is online. It says that the device has 512 gb but that’s a lie because my son doesn’t have a lot of games & already his storage is full. I wouldn’t really recommend but to each it’s own.

    Plays great and has fast loading times. The only cons is that it has barely any storage and it stays hot all the time.

    Amazing console! I've always used Xbox and this runs all of my games perfectly and pairs amazing with our Sony Bravia line TV! Even older titles like BLACK and the Dead Space trilogy!
