    It is perfect for the kids and me. I would recommend this xbox console, it is faster than the original xbox one, less space but you can buy adapter for cheap.

    Fantastic system for the money. If you don't really care about 4k, or just want something cheap to use Gamepass, this is the system to do it. It's a lot smaller than you can tell from the picture, so once you open it you will be surprised! Whisper quiet, super fast nvme ssd hard drive, great controller, it's worth the asking price plain and simple. I do suggest looking into the official add on hard drive when it drops in price as you will need more space. But if you just want to store games off to the side, a standard drive will work just fine as well. Happy gaming!

    I was skeptical about getting one because I already had a PS5 but wanted this Series S for Gamepass and Emulation. Oh my what an aamzing device! I even bought the OG MW2 and been playing backwards compatibility games. You will not regret this little machine! I have also been playing a lot of PS2 games on this unit through developer mode. Must buy!!

    It was cool best buy had this in stock when no one else could for more than 30 minutes but I returned it as game stop had a fresh stock of the series x under the all access bundle exclusively which meant scalpers couldn't out stock it, I plan on getting one of these later on though as the series xbox's play games smoother than anything else I've played and my pc has rdna1 specs, 4k is absolutely optional, just get a 120 display and get the all access bundle because it discounts gamepass for buying in bulk and the first week you will have over 500$ in games played :)

    Good way to get into current gen gaming

    Definitely a step up from the previous gen, and does everything I want it to, but I will probably upgrade to the X in the future. Not a lot of onboard storage, but can use an external for legacy games. I'm happy with my choice at the moment though. It's a good entry into the current gen consoles.

    I was surprised about the size of the xbox compared to previous model. Its very practical for console play and decent graphics for the price. It doesn't replace a PC but highly recommended forgiving fun! 2K is great for casual gaming. 4K recommend going with Xbox Series X

    Fast Xbox load times are cut by 95%. Fortnite takes seconds instead of minutes. GTA is about 50% faster at loading. Games run incredibly smooth. Just make sure you close your games in the background they will slow down your Xbox. Download times are 95% FASTER worth every penny.

    Very good design and controller. Crisp movement and the remote play was almost seemless. Combined with game pass, this is the ultimate entry level next gen console. I will be getting the x for the 4k/120 but I'll hate to let this go.
