    Underestimated powerhouse for cheap price.

    This series s is nothing short of amazing what it offers for the price. A very small sleek well made powerhouse of a console for only $299, You will have a hard time noticing any difference in graphics or gameplay between this series s compared to the series x or PlayStation 5. I own all three and I’m telling you if this is the only console you own your good. If you have a 4K tv it will upscale games to 4K as well. The console being all digital is not a problem for me as most disc games make you download huge files before even play anyway. And with gamepass you get so many free games to play you be busy a long time. Grab this console it will surprise you.

    Great disc-free console for your everyday gaming. My only cons would be the size of the hard drive and not coming with a rechargeable controller, but both features can be purchased as an add-on.

    Picked up the latest Xbox for my adult son. He was just as thrilled as he was when he got his first one years ago. A great product.

    I've used my original Xbox One as my secondary console for over 6 years now and it's been a Halo/Gears/Forza machine. I picked up a PS5 a few months ago and absolutely loved the console. Well I decided to give Xbox another chance decided to pick up the less powerful Series S. I'm so glad I made that decision because my PS5 has been collecting dust since picking up my series. I've been addicted to playing Forza and all my friends on PC are able to play some Halo with me thanks to cross-play. People will preach Gamepass over and over and I can't agree more. It's an absolute must if you're considering picking up an Xbox. The ONLY reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because I sadly had to return the first Xbox Series S. I originally set up my series S and noticed something was wrong when I tried navigating the system. The up button on the D-Pad started to stick and the console became unusable essentially. Went to Best Buy to return it and luckily they were able to just switch it out for a new controller. Instead of having to order a new console altogether. Overall I highly recommend this console and hopefully, you don't deal with the defect I did.

    Used primarily as a streaming player and occasional game play, works great with aftermarket tv-type remotes. CEC leaves something to be desired, doesn't always turn the tv on (tried with multiple tv's of different brands, same result).

    The mighty Xbox is mighty with a size of a book! Well a thiccc book but it delivers. There’s reduced resolution and fidelity doesn’t stops gameplay that it delivers. 120 fps was a great choice to prioritize, over resolution and what it really delivers is gaming at an affordable cost! Microsoft takes the loss on $$ but delivers gaming! The controller alone costs 59$, I’ll just leave it at that!

    Solid next gen console for a great price! Know what you’re getting before buying. Great as a secondary console or the gamer who’s not ready to totally dive into all that next gen gaming has to offer.
