    I bought this model of Xbox for my 11 years old son. It's a good budget option for young kids compared to the most expensive model.

    Xbox Series S what can I saw I was blown away. I’ve been playing Forza Horizon 5, Halo Infinite, Back 4 Blood the games look absolutely amazing. This is the best generation of gaming. You definitely need a 4K tv to truly experience the full capacity of this console. I truly recommend that you also get the Sea Gate Expansion Card as well you’ll definitely need it for the big games.

    Greta, I couldn’t find the Series X in stock so I decided to buy this one for my gf (as a way of sneaking on into the house) and she loved it. Bought a Seagate 4tb hard drive and she can download just about anything on there and play. If you’re into competition this will do the job for console, not the best but it’s good enough. I was able to score a series X but this one is now in my living room and it’s great

    The storage becomes a problem, most games now days are almost 100 gb and the xbox only comes with 300 something after software updates

    I upgraded to this from the original Xbox One, and I totally love it. The graphics, especially the frame rates, are a massive improvement over the previous generation. But for me, the killer features are the blazing fast load times and quick resume. You spend a lot more time enjoying your games and less time staring at loading screens. Highly recommend upgrading if you can find one!

    Had it for 18 months now, it hasn't let us down. 512GB is just too small of capacity given how big games are now. Although you can expand that with the expensive expansion slot, or get a 1TB HD and plug in USB. Glad to see a 1TB is being released.

    What can I say. I was very skeptical about this. I had an XB1X and was thinking the series s was going to be a step down. I was flat wrong. This thing is a huge upgrade. Fast, and sleek. I have it mounted behind my wall mounted 42inch 4k tv. Can’t even tell it is there. The one draw back is the storage. I did get the sea gate expandable memory card and it is better than good

    Was one of the lucky ones I guess on preorder launch day that was able to wait it out and refresh 100,000 times. I’m loving it so far. Load times and graphics are just obviously better than my Xbox one. Didn’t need a disc drive and I’m not gaming in 4K 120fps so the series s was in my wheelhouse. No regrets and tbh, the thing was a lot smaller than I was expecting. Packaging was great and the new controller feels great.

    Got this as a Christmas gift and was a better buy than just a regular console. My girl doesn't know how to keep discs from getting scratched and this digital console makes it 10x worth the money, no more disc problems.
