    I purchased this Xbox series s and it is worth the money, have not experienced any problems yet and is enjoying the system. I prefer PlayStation so I thought I’ll get the cheaper version of the new Xbox since I don’t game much on the Xbox systems but it’s worth it if you don’t already own any Xbox games that requires the disc version and if you run out of space you can buy either the 512ssd for 129.99 or 1Tssd for 219.99, which is expensive but I’m sure in the near future the price will drop.

    Storage is a bit small for being an all digital console, but if you can look past that this is a very capable gaming machine at the pricepoint, even better so with gamepass.

    Great next gen console. Not as powerful as the new Xbox X, but it plays all the same games, is smaller, and costs $200 less. Very satisfied

    Phenomenal device for the price to performance/capabilities that it provides. -If you have the money, purchase this and all the consoles in its range. -If you play on PC, and you're itching to have a Microsoft console, then purchase this to compliment your gaming rig. Your life whatever... -If you have a PS5, then purchase the Series X, immediately followed by purchasing the Series S just to flex. It ain't weird, go flex king. You can always put consoles on every room in your home.

    Great buy for the price, even if you have other gaming systems. If you are like many others and you have a PS4/5, gaming PC, and/or a Nintendo Switch, what is the point of another? Especially if your PC can play the same games. At least with PS5 or Switch, you have exclusives and a different experience. So if you have these systems already, it’s not likely to make sense and get this. You’ll need the $220 external Drive that is exclusive with Seagate to use for Xbox X|S games. And you’ll need Game Pass. Game pass is great for the cost. But most other triple A title games or open world games I play aren’t on Gamepass. It has its limits. Overall, if you have no other current gaming system, yes this is great. It plays great on a 1440p gaming monitor. The 120hz is so limited right now that doesn’t seem to matter, but it is still supported on this console.

    Bout this for my daughter. This little machine is amazing! I also got a Series X and I was more excited to see what this thing could do. If you have gamepass, this serves as such. This is a gamepass slingbox. Games load so fast and sometimes faster then the Series X due to the lower res textures. Love the auto hdr feature that adds it to games that never had it. My daughter booted up roblox and wow, it loaded really quick and looks way different because of the hdr added. Perfect system for the below hardcore gamer. You WILL run outta storage quickly.

    The Xbox Series S is the perfect Xbox if your only interested in playing via game pass it’s awesome the only downside to the system is the fact that it’s 512 GB but really you get 361 GB if it was like the Series X this would be the best and cheaper option for next gen gaming again if your a all digital kind of person I’m not into all digital but picked it up because I wanted to play game pass games but will pick up a Series X when it’s more available and has plenty of great physical games til then this is perfect!!!!
