    I have a PS5 and primarily game on PlayStation, however; I was definitely wanting an Xbox as well this generation due to the amount of exclusives in the works for Xbox. This Series S is EXACTLY what I wanted. A cheaper alternative that is still able to play all Series console games. The Series S is best paired with Gamepass. I love this little Box!

    Great system. Even with half the storage of the series x I still got 6-7 games on there at the same time.

    Cheap and works really well. The series x is definitely better but for the price this one’s hard to beat. New gen and can run any game.

    Xbox is worth it!

    Pros: This Xbox is quite nice when it comes to size. Fits well in my entertainment center. It’s great on sound, not too loud and doesn’t seem to overheat much. Especially with having a decent sized fan on the top for ventilation. It connects well with any new or even older television and sound system. Cons: Still not enough space offered. With being digital there is a constant need to manage or limit games and downloadable content. Also might be good to offer additional colors. Ex: space gray, etc..

    Xbox Series S is a 4k 60fps monstrosity of a beast console! I definitely recommend Best Buy Shipt overnight shipping for $6 bucks! I ordered this awesome machine at 7pm friday nov 18th 2022 and product was delivered to me saturday nov 19th 2022 at 1pm sharp! do not buy a Xbox Series X or a PS5 right now because in my opinion neither next gen consoles have shown us it's true power and lack of good games for both and they are overpriced at $500, get the Xbox Series S for $250 & save yourself $250 or $300 with tax included!
