    I haven’t upgraded my Xbox system since the original Xbox One released and this Series S did not disappoint. I personally don’t need much storage so for me the 512 GB was okay. I travel a lot and the weight of this system and portability is what sold me. Of course if you end up needed more space for more games XBox already has a card out for that so it’s nice knowing I have options down the line.

    This is the second time I’ve purchased this item. I got one for my son and then my other son liked it so much we got another one. Haven’t had any issues yet. Works great. I do honestly like the PS5 more, but I still think this is a great console and it does the job. Would have rather had a Series X but those are pretty much impossible to find. Still,

    Great device! My 17 year old son hasn’t had any complaints so far. The graphics are top notch and the speed of this system all seem worth the upgrade from the previous model. If you’re deciding between this model and the more expensive model that’s currently still on back order then go with this model. You won’t be disappointed and you’ll save yourself a few dollars.

    Little powerhouse

    A fantastic little powerhouse! The difference in FPS from a game like AC Odyssey is very noticeable! Runs incredibly smooth and clear. Storage is a downside of purchasing this console, but if you don’t mind removing and downloading what you’ll play most of the time, then it’s fine to work with. The true storage space is about 356GB out of the advertised 512GB.

    It’s not a series X but it’s great

    I don’t miss the physical disc slot at all. Perfect with Game Pass and way faster than my current Xbox One (day one). Quick resume is great, plays well with CEC. Wish I had more storage but it’s pretty fast to download games so it’s not that bad to swap them in and out. I have a USB 4TB I think I can use to just move games back and forth and avoid re downloading…

    Always with a fan of Xbox now that I got the next gen I am very pleased how well it performs how fast everything is the load time is cut right down I can get right into my games if I pause it go right into another game play that going to the other game it's well worth it downside there's no disc drive but I don't care I get all the games I want online well worth the price

    Found the last one they had in store and was glad! Definitely prefer this over PS. Only issue is while on multiplayer, the xbox heats up, and has issues keeping cool so the game will freeze. Its happened with all 3 Xbox series S's weve had in the house, and theyve all came from different places, so its not Best Buys issue. More of a manufacturer issue.
