    I wanted to purchase the Series X but until they are back in stock at Best Buy I decided to purchase the S. After the initial set up which was easy I purchase FIFA 22. It took 2 hours to download. I have always preferred the physical game disc I do not remember waiting 2 hours to play. The system itself is good and I can only image what another $200 will get you with the X. Am I in love with this system only time will tell but for the price point it is good. Would I recommend it to a friend for the price take a chance it is always returnable.

    Purchased my xbox and it came way faster than i was expecting. Item was exactly as it was described. Please note that this model does not have the option for playing games on disc's. It is strictly digital. Can download the games via your xbox account. Perfect system for someone getting into gaming or as an extra gaming console.

    Upgraded from the Xbox one, I love it so much the difference in speed is incredible and I love all the little updates they made for the new system. Only thing is that the storage it comes with is okay but buying more storage is very expensive. Wish I knew I’d have to spend 150+ for a terabyte of ssd storage. All in all really happy but just remember you’re definitely gonna want extra storage.

    As someone planning to eventually get a PS5, but is still satisfied with their PS4, this is a very good purchase. I love being able to easily play and purchase games from previous generations. Sure, it doesn’t have 4K or as much processing power as the Series X or PS5, but I have no regrets. Xbox All Access makes this little next gen console worth every penny!

    Only wish is that it had a Blu-ray player but I knew it didn't going in. Load times are so so so much faster than old Xbox

    Have been enjoying playing the games that came with the free game pass. It is a nice console and the controller feels good. Nice graphics and a good deal. The console is discless which is a first for me but it has not giving me any issues. Have yet to really mess with it a whole lot but so Far it has been fun and a good purchase.

    I bought this for my cousin as a early birthday gift. Xbox is a great gaming console, as someone who comes from PlayStation I can respect and value the console for it's speed, library of games and ease of use.

    I'm adding the Xbox series s to my gaming collection. I have the series x on my living room TV but I needed a console for my bedroom. The series x was way to big to go on my bedroom wall next to my TV so I did the series s with a wall mount. It looks really dope and I only use it when I can't game in the living room.

    Great Budget Console

    Make sure you know what you're getting, but from a value perspective, the Series S is hard to beat. It's a digital only console, meaning no disc games, but pair this with Gamepass, the best value in gaming, and you have an awesome budget package. Sure the PS 5 and and Series X can perform better, but if you are okay with 1080p gaming, then this is the way to go.

    I bought this because it is hard to buy PS 5 at that time, at first I thought I just use this game box temporary, one year pass, still hard to get PS 5 and X box series X, and I found this game box working good, the most important thing is I can use XGPU, that is amazing, I like it.

    I placed the order and they had it ready that same day. I was not able to retrieve until a few days after. The retrieval went smoothly with no issues. The Series S runs flawlessly and you can notice the difference. I mainly play Apex and it is definitely more pristine and noticeable. It also runs at 60 FPS

    Great value in an aesthetically pleasing little box. Only thing is if you're like me, and like to switch from game to game, you might need to buy one of the seagate expansion cards. Got myself another 512GB one, and it was fast and easy to install. Definitely my favorite console this generation.
