    Love this so much! This was a great deal. So much power in such a so small box! Can’t wait to add the Series X to the collection. Perfect for travel.

    Excellent little console, the load times are incredible and the size of it would have you not believing its packing as much punch as it is for next gen gaming.

Thank you for taking a few minutes to share your experience with the community. We appreciate it!

    Nice xbox but if you play a lot of games and need memory you might buy the bigger memory xbox.

    I’ve have both the PS5 and Series S. They are both great, but the price point the Series S is offered at along with the ability to run games at 1440p 120hz is amazing and a lot more practical than the hdmi 2.1 4k 120hz the series x and ps5 offer at the moment. The game selection for Xbox is also step ahead of playstations, in my opinion, and if you are subscribed to game pass you’ll have a massive selection of games to download free of charge.

    Love the speed and the graphics on the new system. I do miss the disc part though I'll get used to it. The unit itself is SMALL, the box is surely misleading.

    Xbox Series S great addition to the Xbox family. While it doesn’t have the raw power of the series X, the combination of the $299 price point and gamepass is unbeatable!

    This was within 250 miles of my BestBuy's location so I was able to order one. I paired this with a 1TB external drive to total the storage to 1.3TB or something close, and I also plugged in an external 512GB SSD for older games in the XBOX / XBOX 360 era. The console is paired with an LG nano85 65" 4K 120 hertz TV and this console runs very well. The response time is great and playing on it is a dream come true. I would definitely recommend this console as long as you know what you are getting. The base system only gives you roughly 384GB of storage to use of the 500GB. You have been warned.

    1440p@120 this lil bad boy looks and performs outstanding you cannot go wrong with this especially if you don’t own an series x yet and want something to enjoy while waiting for an x or if you own a PS5/ Switch and looking to get an Xbox without breaking the bank this is the machine you want keep in mind it’s digital only and memory is small less than 500g so you will need to get external memory which they have plenty out there for affordable price or invest in a ssd to play the nex gen games but that cost just as much as the console itself smh

    Great system for a good price. Definitely needs the 1tb added plug in but especially with the scarcity of the x series, this a great option.
