    What can I say about the Xbox series S that hasnt been said already. Truly a beast of a system at $300 capable of up to 120 frames per second and up to 1440p gaming, although some have been 4k. Match this console with Gamepass and you've got yourself a no-brainer

    I’m really impressed with the power and quality of the Series S. I think it’s a great value compared to the PlayStation 5 and Series X. I’ve always owned a PlayStation in the past but this unit and game pass has won me over.

    Great console with a great price tag. Handles all new gen games easily and ssd is super fast. Definitely recommend but I would opt for the new black edition now.

    My grandson loves it. It’s really small and very quiet. I started downloading all of his games so he should have them his whole life. There is no downside to this purchase. All his old Xbox accessories work with this console.

    This is my first Xbox console. I’ve been a loyal PlayStation owner since the PS1. Bought this console mainly to play Halo. Graphics are excellent! Could have bought the X Series, but only bought this to play one game.

    Great system, I wish Best Buy’s return policy was better, ended up getting water damage and I have missed it ever since. They were not interested in letting me return it even with a warranty!!

    I love that I don’t need a special place for disks anymore. If you have a small space, love gaming, and need to keep the clutter down to a minimum, this is the system for you. Great graphics, the sound quality is fantastic, and you will love playing this system for hours.

    Good Travel Unit or 2nd Xbox

    Small form factor, easy and intuitive setup. The device fan is extremely quiet. Launches games much faster than my previous gen xbox. If the series x were available, though, I would pay the extra $200 for it instead. This unit has 512GB storage, no disk drive, and processes 4 teraflops. 512GB proprietary memory expansion costs ~$200. For the cost of a memory unit I could upgrade to the series x which includes 1TB storage, a disk drive, and processes 8 teraflops.

    A great next-gen console for anyone who does not care about huge graphical updates like 4K or disc games. It runs perfectly and GamePass is a great deal for its price. Not to mention it is the cheapest next gen console available. Even if it is hard to get.

    Storage is a big problem you have to buy storage card if you want to play more then 3 games only able to use a little over 300 GB the controller that came with it new out of the box the a button sticks down which is a huge deal for every game or watching Netflix not gonna be able to use it at all my old controllers will work better then it the console itself works well just wish more games could be played on external hard drive

    I couldn’t possibly be happier with this purchase. I was fortunate enough to find one of these before they sold out again but it was worth keeping up with the stocking. Getting my Xbox was quick and smooth. It’s everything you should expect from a great console and more.
