    Best of both worlds

    Coming from someone who has the PS5 disc version. The digital Xbox version was worth the tag-team. Gamepass is a major plus for Xbox over PSN.

    Let’s make this simple: This system is not the most powerful, and doesn’t have the greatest graphics on the planet but most console users can’t tell between 1440p from 4K. It’s tiny, incredibly quiet, and fast. Pair this with game pass and you have a Netflix for gaming. I wouldn’t recommend this as your only console because of the limitations and lack of a 4K blu ray player, but if you have a PS5 this is a great way to play old school games PlayStation doesn’t support, free games like Fortnite or Warzone, and Xbox exclusives/game pass games at a cheap price. I don’t have any regrets.

    Love it I bought an extra SSD drive so it end up cheaper than buying the x version and unless you have an 8K TV no games play different so save yourself some money

    If you could not get your hands on Xbox Series X, this is not too bad of a compromise. It’s almost as good as Series X but without the disk and is cheaper.

    This was within 250 miles of my BestBuy's location so I was able to order one. I paired this with a 1TB external drive to total the storage to 1.3TB or something close, and I also plugged in an external 512GB SSD for older games in the XBOX / XBOX 360 era. The console is paired with an LG nano85 65" 4K 120 hertz TV and this console runs very well. The response time is great and playing on it is a dream come true. I would definitely recommend this console as long as you know what you are getting. The base system only gives you roughly 384GB of storage to use of the 500GB. You have been warned.

    Absolutely in love with this product! I didn’t realize it didn’t have a compartment for discs but honestly it doesn’t even matter because if you get the game pass you’re set for a long while! I got it for my fiancés birthday last year and he fell in love too! And I was hooked the moment Hogwarts came out! Ran beautifully on the console and im tempted to buy another for mommy living room

    This little machine is super quiet and pretty powerful. I purchased two of these for my kids as I am still holding out for the Series X. Let me say that these tiny machines run games way better than my XB1X. I’m jealous of how fast they load games. When I get a chance, I sneak in some play time on them. Outriders runs so smooth on them. Only bad thing is the small hard drive, but I purchased external drives for them and they work great. All enhanced games go on the internal and not enhances stay on the external. For the price… with GamePass… it’s the best deal in gaming.

    1440p@120 this lil bad boy looks and performs outstanding you cannot go wrong with this especially if you don’t own an series x yet and want something to enjoy while waiting for an x or if you own a PS5/ Switch and looking to get an Xbox without breaking the bank this is the machine you want keep in mind it’s digital only and memory is small less than 500g so you will need to get external memory which they have plenty out there for affordable price or invest in a ssd to play the nex gen games but that cost just as much as the console itself smh

    Coming from an Xbox One X using an HDR10 capable 4K monitor to a Series S, I found that the Series S had the same resolution as my One X. I was able to do 4K, HDR10 gaming as on my One X. The major difference I noticed it that the load times are a lot faster. The only drawback I've noticed with the Series S does not have an optical port for my headset. I had to revert back to my old set that plugged into the controller. Since the Series X is hard to get, at this writing, I am happy with my purchase as I met or exceeded my expectations. "The Series S is so small!"

    Not going to lie, I got peer pressured into buying this from one of my friends and I wish I would have waited like I planned for a PS5, but my time with this console was amazing honestly it is PERFECT for game pass and it's a really good deal because it's basically a cheap PC and it runs games really well, the only down side really for me was the storage but that can be solved very easily with an external device. If you're getting into the Xbox ecosystem this is definitely not a bad place to start.

    Fantastic system for the money. If you don't really care about 4k, or just want something cheap to use Gamepass, this is the system to do it. It's a lot smaller than you can tell from the picture, so once you open it you will be surprised! Whisper quiet, super fast nvme ssd hard drive, great controller, it's worth the asking price plain and simple. I do suggest looking into the official add on hard drive when it drops in price as you will need more space. But if you just want to store games off to the side, a standard drive will work just fine as well. Happy gaming!
