    Very worth it for the price of a switch

    Worthwhile upgrade even for next gen lite. Upscaling for older games makes the ol' slog of something like a full new vegas playthrough a dream, not to mention the possibilities of that combined with the dev kit.

    It's smaller than I expected. Space is limited if that matters to you. No disk drive if you have games on disk. If you're on a budget and this is what you're looking for, get it, otherwise I'd recommend the series x. Other than that, a good unit. Ordered for curbside pickup, which was a good experience.

      Hey there,

      We couldn't be happier to hear your son is loving his new Xbox Series S Console! 23/7 may be a little too much time in-game, but who are we to judge. We're thrilled he is enjoying hours of exciting gameplay with his new setup! Thank you for sharing your story with the community. We appreciate your feedback, and are glad it was a good investment for you and your family.

      Happy Gaming,

    Amazing value for a console with a surprisingly amount of power. I used this Xbox as my secondary Xbox and put it in my bedroom. It really is a great machine for gaming and for streaming and is super affordable.

    Bought for my other half. To replace her Xbox One S, It's a massive improvement for a fair price. Though I dislike the smaller base storage that's easily and quickly filled. Along with the fact that expanding that storage is massive cost sink since you can't just get a compatible SSD, you have to buy specifically from Microsoft.

    Easy setup, great options, plenty of memory, game disks unnecessary, love it! I decided to choose this system instead of upgrading from my PS4 to PS5 and very pleased with my decision!

    Excellent piece of kit for a den, office, study or to travel with. SSD and CPU just as fast as the Series X and the compact size is remarkable. Perfect for game pass, 1080/1440p, for traveling or if value is most important.

    I originally bought this for the master chief collection, but ended up buying other things I grew up playing when I had my 360. My only complaint so far is the controller. It feels good to hold, but the logo button is unresponsive at times and takes several presses for it to do anything.

    As a gamer who appreciates all console this one is extremely well. Besides the memory storage issue for the price you cant go wrong with this. I have the series x as well and the difference is minor.

    excellent bang for your bucks but leaves a little to be desired. The 512gb hard drive fills up quick and with the 200$ expansion card price it makes more sense to go with the x for more power and a 1tb hard drive.
