    It provides great value as a secondary platform. I'm a primarily PC gamer and I bought the Series S for its backwards compatibility for the games that missed PC and Game Pass (PC game pass is a technical mess not worth bothering with). Pair that with Microsoft rewards points that you can get from using the Xbox and playing Game Pass games and the value is hard to beat if your taste in games lines up with what's on offer.

    Worth it if you don't have any games on disc

    This should hold me off till the X is available. Originally didn't want the series s or x as I have a PS5. After getting game pass it is totally worth it and now just waiting till I can buy an Xbox series. I need the disc drive for my older games.

    Great Console, very good purchase and would totally recommend to friends. Works great after a month of use, and was easy to pick up. Terrible storage though, might want to get a hard drive such as a segate to make your storage better :)

    I bought this for my brother’s birthday because he’s been wanting a new Xbox. He absolutely loves it. However, Best Buy using OnTrac to deliver the Xbox was so stressful. Overall Xbox has never let me down. But Best Buy using OnTrac has let me down before.

    Compact well built unit....SSD memory a little limited at 512GB but you can expand memory further with memory expansion accessories. Happy with purchase overall, just remember there is no DVD loading slot on series S model

    Very fast and super clear picture. Coming from PS4 this device is a must. Battelfield is way more clear and quick and snappy. Halo looks incredible and the load time to install games are fast. Easily can store 5 or 6 games.

    This Xbox is perfect for me. I play pretty much the same games. NBA 2k, madden, any GTA that comes out, and occasionally I’ll purchase a COD game. Works great for me. All my movies are digital anyways. It’s time to cut the cord anyways. Love it.

    Perfect console for someone who doesn’t play that often or is addicted to one or two games. Got as a gift for my GF who plays Assassins Creed, she was playing on the older Xbox X and loved the improved graphics on this console.

    I really wanted my grandson to get the series X but I could only find one of those. So this is what o got him and he loves it. It’s really fun playing online and being able to just play and not have load times or freezing frames.

    When paired with an external drive, this thing is a beast. I've been using it nonstop since I got it and I cannot suggest it enough. No issues at all. If you might play on a few different monitors/TVs, it's perfect because it's nice and portable.

    I was hesitant on getting this console since I had the Xbox One S and it was working just fine. I'm beyond glad I did, the difference in performance is massively noticeable. I don't purchase discs so this is perfect for me and what I use it for.
