    Worthy upgrade from last gen

    For context, I’ve been a Sony fanboy since childhood. I had the base PS4 before this became my first next gen upgrade. I LOVE the small size, graphics are a major upgrade, and load times (or lack there of) is worth the money. This hold me over until I get a PS5, but could certainly be your primary console. Game Pass is unbelievable.

    I really am enjoying my xbox its small and light and the graphics are very nice. I really like digital because you can buy the games online which saves me a trip to the store to buy a disk game . I recommend the new xbox digital for anyone looking for a great gaming experience

    Bought for my husnand for christmas so he can play online with our two boys. Teo have the Xbox Series S and one has the Xbox series X. All operate same speed. The S doesnt have as much storage so if you want to download a lot of games consider that first.

    It's alright for an entry level console. Perhaps a PS5 user wanting to play a few games from gamepass, younger person, someone that owns multiple consoles, but nothing more. I have always been a dedicated xbox player and Microsoft dropped the ball in my opinion. The 512 GB SSD is laughable, especially when there is only 367 GB of space after you boot up the console and the extra storage you pay for you can just buy a series x. MS should have followed the footsteps of Sony and released an identical version of the series X but for $100 cheaper or maybe just to sell the console $150 cheaper. While I know that they just want to 'sell consoles' I don't for see this holding up for over two years. Glad I was able to get a Series X and return this one.

    Upgraded from XBOX 360 and it’s amazing value for $300. Game pass ultimate together with this will assure hours and hours of amazing entertainment with incredible graphics. Thought I might need X series but I’m blown away by games like Assassins creed that look phenomenal.

    I have a Series X at my place, but I decided to get another machine to keep somewhere else. This is the perfect size and it performs surprisingly well compared to the Series X.

    It seems more powerful than they claim it to be. I bought this to replace my One S and it can perform circles around that system! If going discless is your thing, this little system if a steal at this price! If you can manage and afford to get the Series X, definitely get that one, but there's no denying the bargain of the Series S

    Picked one up after Christmas and on sale. Work great with impressive audio and video. Very easy to set up and I was using it in no time at all. Got the Ultimate Game Pass to go with it. I wish additional storage was cheaper but that's my only gripe.

    This is my first Xbox. So far, I enjoy every minute that I spend playing games on the Xbox system. I was trying to buy the one x but now I changed my mind. I prefer 1 s because it’s less expensive, not so big, and considering the price point, the difference in specs between the one x and s is insignificant.

    Great little console that packs a lot of power. For my use, it was definitely worth it over the X. Only issue I have is the storage. For somebody that is going to be playing a lot of bigger Triple-A titles, I would recommend getting the X or some type of storage expansion. I don't even game that much and already went through 99% of my storage.

    Enjoy next-generation speed and performance with our largest digital library to date. Enjoy more dynamic worlds and faster load times, and add Xbox Game Pass Ultimate (subscription sold separately) to play new titles the same day they're released.

    Best purchase you could ever have if your lifestyle is to get some spare time after work and weekends ! Performance is excellent , quick resume , the only thing I’d suggest would be to get an SSD or external HardDrive to store more games since is only 512GB. The rest is amazing!

    Got the S, due to limited availability of the X. Higher resolution doesn't make that much of a difference, smaller size is more portable, but I would have liked the option of connecting a USB DVD, which you can't. Also forces you to buy the games from a single source. All things I knew when I bought it.

    The system its self is very impressive but if your looking for memory space i would recommend getting the xbox X due to having such low memory space it gets frustrating when you want to downloaded a new game of corse there other option like getting a memory card attchment but at that point might as well get the Xbox X this system is best for digital games and if you only really play one or two games the low memory space is really the only issue i have with it if you dont have much money to spend on a system this one is nice and affordable truly is a little brother of the series x

    This product is amazing the only drawback I've found is Rockstar requires you to repurchase gta v on the series consoles as for the system it's self I love it most games load in less than ten seconds it's incredibly compact and I love the expansion options too in short buy this system

    Honestly this thing is great and is probably a better fit for lost than a series X. The only reason I returned this thing is because I already have the X and a Ps5. This thing is great though. Looks great on a 2k monitor and it’s so compact. Great for a traveling professional. Highly recommend this thing!

    Amazing speed and graphics but only enough room for 2-4 games to be installed and ready to play at a time depending on how many GB each game is.
