    Love this little system, I owned a PS5 and this is just as great with a much better price tag. Bundle it with game pass and its an amazing deal!!!! I'd rate 10 stars if I could. It's fast, doesn't take up much space and the quick resume is a nice feature. Don't think for a second this is a budget console because it will blow your expectations out of the water.

    Fantastic little console. Great for the casual gamer or if you wanna have a nice portable system. I have an xbox series X and I bought the S to keep at my parents house for when the kids and I visit. There are tons of titles on gamepass and lots of free to play titles as well to keep them entertained. It runs really well and is great if you dont care about things like framerate and resolution. its a solid 1080p experience. I would rate it 5/5 if it had a disc drive as there are tons of cheap xbox one/xbox 360 games on the used market I would like to buy but cant due to an all digital platform.

    The Xbox Series S is perfect for your little ones, or anyone who’s an casual gamer. I recently bought one for the living room and one for my daughters room. With all the top games being free to play like Fortnite, Warzone, Apex Legends etc, this is one of the cheapest ways to get into gaming. Plus if you subscribe to Game Pass Ultimate, you will have access to a ton of games for $15 an month. Either way you go you won’t regret this purchase. The only con is the storage with only 512 GB SSD, but all you need is an USB hard drive to transfer all the games you’re not playing currently on to it instead of deleting them.

    Series X makes sense if you want the 4k visual experience but if you are like me and like good, smooth game play over super high res than its an easy choice to save some money and get this instead. I don't keep a lot of games on the console either so 512Gb is enough for me and I really like the small size. Only con would be, I wish it came in black.

    Got this Series S for my friend. He got old waiting on Playstation 5 never in stock. This unit is inferior to the Series X but offer great value for those willing to play using gamepass at nearly a fraction of the cost. 300 for the unit and close to 14 dollars a month for the service you get to install any game that call your attention . No brainer.

    Review by PS5 owner: GREAT VALUE

    Excellent value. This with Game Pass (use the Xbox Gold stacking trick--look it up on reddit to save big!) Is the best value in gaming. You will have years upon years of all the games you can play for less than $500 (console being $299.99 and game pass with gold trick for 3 years being about $200).

    I haven't bought a recent console for the last couple of generations. I finally pulled the trigger and really happy with the series s. It's great for casual gamers and people who are just getting back into gaming. The lower price tag also makes it more affordable and a great way to get the latest games. Also Xbox game pass is amazing

    My tech abilities are probably a bit above average (although a long ways from being Geek Squad stuff), but this is still easy to set-up and use even if you have only average tech ability and can use YouTube. It's also actually available and appears to be a good value proposition as long as you know what your getting.
