    This little box is so amazing man if you’re on the fence about it just get it. You got so many game choices with game pass and fast speeds and doing 60fps or even 120 at a $300 value is amazing. Very smart on Microsoft for making this

    Coming from the original xbox one this was the only next gen console I was able to pre order and I'm not disappointed. It looks great loads games very fast and runs very quietly can't even hear it to be honest. Very satisfied with it and don't plan on getting an X for a while if at all.

    If all you're looking for is a gaming machine that comes ready to install hundreds of quality games via gamepass, and aren't overly concerned with 4k resolution the Series S is unbeatable in it's value. My only real criticism is the lack of storage space for an only digital device.

    My favorite form factor so far in a console! Really hope they go this route when they revamp the Series X in a few years. It also runs completely silent, only radiating heat from the back vent. I bought the $219 1TB memory card expansion to go along with it, but it’s also nice to have the option to hook up a normal usb hard drive to store old games as well. In summary, I love the size and performance so far and I hope they make the Series X this small when they revamp it!

    My son loves it and it works perfectly. Added bonus that it does not take up very much room on his desk. We bought it to replace a defective PS5 and I think my son likes it even more than the PS5 because of how easy it is to use.

    Best Buy had this in stock before Christmas. I was leaving the store and noticed a few behind the registers. I asked if they were available and was able to buy for my son. The console is not that big and my son loves it using Xbox Game pass.

    Excellent system. Works swift and as advertised. High speeds, both for downloading and for playing. I do wish it was easier to enter information in either via voice or keyboard input from phone app. Outside of those small considerations. Excellent product.

    Next gen gaming at a fraction of the cost. Ive loved xbox since the 360 era ans while the One dropped the ball a bit with navigation and software; the S/X is the better consoles of the era. Recommend

    Best console you can get at this pricepoint. Considering the value and how much more pleasing it is aesthetically (compared to series x) I think its a perfect companion to ps5.
