    Good companion for someone who has a PS5 or Switch. Not good as a primary console. Storage waaay too low. Only about 367 usable storage. Thats nothing, and the only way to expand it is by a seagate expansion card that offers 1TB for $200. After tax that with the console combined is more than the series X. Best used as a second console.

    Bought this fella to hold me over until I could get a retail priced Series X and let a scalper starve. Honestly don’t know that I’ll even bother now, the Series S is underrated af.

    Great product for a great price! I upgraded from my Xbox One X after about two years and the 120 frames are awesome. I've so far had no issues with the hardware or software.

    Great system! Works fine. No issues and runs really smooth. Down side of things is that it’s very limited on storage.

    its perfect for a 2nd next gen console, but it can't be your main. It compliments my PS5 well, I enjoy gamepass ultimate on the system and the ability to either dl or stream games

    With fast internet connection, this is uncompetitive gaming machine. I really love it. Its ssd blazingly fast. I am more likely on fos side for gaming not resolution. 2k is enough with monitors.

    Got it only because the series X is harder to find than Atlantis, but I’m very glad we did. It is significantly faster than previous gen and games that are optimized for series s/x look amazing!!!

    Went ahead and got this to replace my old box. It’s very small and sleek. Boots up quick and the fact it’s “next gen” you get the upgraded games. Very impressed good power for price

    It came in a box with lots of padding so it won’t move around. This is my first console and it’s awesome. It has pretty good graphics and it doesn’t glitch a lot. I would definitely recommend this to anyone.

    Great Xbox upgrade but not enough base storage

    I'm always going for the best Xbox and since the Series X is currently unattainable, I decided to get this in the meantime. I'm coming from the Project Scorpio so the resolution drop is noticeable for me, but this thing plays games way better with the higher frames. 1 star loss because of the on board 512gb memory, it's 2021 and games are huge.

    I like how slim it is and the price is great. We mostly buy digital games anyways so we didn’t mind not having the disk drive and saving some money.

    Compact and powerful. I didn't own any xbox games on disc as I was upgrading from a PS4 so having a drive wasn't necessary. I bought a 2TB external HD to expand storage space and it's now it's perfect.

    Its much faster. Some of the S/x optimized games are around/greater than 100GB so you might run out of space soon. It also cant play my old games but overall it was a decent upgrade.

    I’ve had this brand new Xbox for about 12 years and it’s holding up well. I’ve replaced the spindle and the transaxle twice. Would recommend aftermarket swashplates.
