    Was an amazing gift for my nephew! So far its worked better than we expected. Such a great idea to only get digital games and prevents a cluster on his desk.

    I bought this for my son to replace his Xbox s. He uses a 1440p monitor and this is absolutely perfect! It runs at 1440p 60frames! One thing I really liked is the ability to run all you older items. Controllers, headsets, remotes, etc.... It boots up quick and the quick resume is freaking awesome. Perfect for PC monitors.

    One of the 3 “Next Gen” consoles. A great little console for the little ones to have instead of spending the extra money on bells and whistles kids don’t pay attention to. Bought for my son and he loves it. With console home sharing, he has everything he needs.

    Great for what my son and I use it for. Which is only gaming. I don't run any other apps on it. Mostly just stuff on Gamepass.

    The size is amazing for me while in college. It is really powerful and my best advice would be to buy an external hard drive to store all the other games. Overall worth it for the $300 and was way easier to buy than the Series X at the moment.

    Very good to play on, it hasn’t given me any problems and it works way better with a gaming monitor 120 frames is so good!

    Husband loved it! That’s all I need to say. I don’t understand why they force you to say more. It’s not genuine if you do that. HOWEVER, he said was one of the best gifts I ever gave.

    Great system for those of you who do not care about 4k or have a 4k display. Bought this for my kids who game on a 1080p tv and its amazing for that purpose.

    For anyone still a year out of next-gen gaming and still not able to get a next-gen console, then this is the one to get. I got this as a second console to my Series X and to have in a lower resolution TV. The gameplay is flawless, obviously, if you plug it into a 4K TV or monitor, your gameplay will not be the same as a Series X. But this paired with Game Pass is going to keep you busy for days.

    At the heart of Series X is the Xbox Velocity Architecture, which pairs a custom SSD with integrated software for faster, streamlined gameplay with significantly reduced load times. Seamlessly move between multiple games in a flash with Quick Resume.

    The better option of the two versions of the new Xbox. Not to big that you need to rearrange your furniture or buy new furniture to accommodate it. Save yourself the added cost and pick up the small one and get an ssd to our with it for the cost of the series x

    I caved and bought the s only because of Halo getting ready to drop this year I do love the graphics true 4k and it looks amazing just wish it could play disc games as well but when the x becomes available again I will try to beat the bots to 1

    Console is absolutely wonderful. Runs at crazy speeds and is worth the $300. Gamers who do not have a 4k screen should invest in this console. Sometimes console doesn’t load up games, but I believe the problem is with Microsoft’s connection and not the console.

    I can understand some ppl wanting the X, but it never crossed my mind and I’ve loved every second with the S. Impressed so far but that said I haven’t been stressing it out or anything, only casually playing as I’ll continue to do lol.
