    Great purchase. Awesome graphics and modern design. Came with free month of FuboTV, and a controller. The console is so fast and sleek and easy to use. Highly recommend.

    This is an amazing console! I did have problems the first day where the store was stuck on a white screen anytime I tried to make a purchase or open gamepass. But I unplugged the system and my tv and reset the system and haven’t had problems since.

    I like it but prefer the X as the images are crisper and it loads a bit quicker. This one is not that far off, I use this at work and the X at home. I love the compact design and the fact it was available at a time when i couldn't get the X or PS5. The storage isn't a huge issue for me but of course more is always better.

    Didnt think yhe digital would be as good as the X but its pretty good. Not all games are found w the xbox game pass that I'd like to have. I do love that the graphics are brighter. I wish it came w more storage though.

    The Xbox Series S is unfortunately a bit underwhelming and often times a bit frustrating. The networking gear on it is not vamped up or powerful in any way which really sucks because its a download only console (like why). Besides that point it also tends to close applications occasionally. Lastly the NEXT GEN game catalogue has just been really underwhelming this console generation. It runs really well as a media hub for your home theatre (ie, runs your apps and shows well)] Controllers have stick drift often and storage you can download a half a game and a backstreet boys CD and hit max capacity.

    Cheap Entry to Next Gen

    Great, inexpensive system to get into next gen. The Xbox Series S was easy to set up and all games run much faster and smoother than the previous gen. Console is silent, even after multiple hours of play time. Between the catalog of game pass and the upcoming Series X|S titles this console is a no brainer!

    I like the S. it’s small size allows for easy placement and transportation. Also cool that you can play all the X games from such a small console. I really don’t miss the disk options as I play mostly digital games anyway.

    Purchased this for a good friend he loves it. Coming from a series S it was like going from a sports car to a fighter jet. Fast downloads great storage options. A true winner! Fit the budget brand perfectly!

    Sold my series x when I bought my pc. There still a few titles I’d like to play on my Xbox that weren’t cross platform. I Decided to buy this and was impressed how good it look compared to the series x not that big of difference in my opinion.

    Very small size console that powerful to play almost all games and streaming apps at a high quality. The boot up time of apps are pretty good. It's not top of the line but its definitely close to it. I would recommend it to people who is looking to game here and there on a budget.

    This system is a great alternative from the series x, the storage could be the only bad thing about it but you can buy a Seagate memory card and that takes care of that problem . Its worth the buy with game pass

    Xbox Series S is the X for Non 4k Gamers

    The Xbox Series X looms over the Series S, but the S has its own punches to give! The S does essentially the same as the X but at 1440p and half the size! Non 4k ready gamers, this is the pick up for you. Beast of a console and the upscaled 4k looks great! 299 is a bargain for this level of tech!

    I got this a few weeks ago and it was way better than the old gen S. It runs way smoother and the loading times are so much faster. It also is very small and takes up such little space which was perfect for me because my desk isn’t that big so now I can fit more stuff on it. 10/10 recommend

    Amazing little machine! I initially had a series X, but this digital machine has been a breath of fresh air with Game Pass Ultimate. One con is the 512GB storage, but you can use an external hard drive for most games.
