    The kids use it daily and have spent many hours playing. Well worth the purchase.

    This was a Christmas gift for my son. He loves Microsoft Flight Simulator so we got him a new xbox and the download for the game. I still personally like game systems that play the disc.

    Great console! Wanted to upgrade my Xbox one and there was a major difference. Faster load time is a nice feature along with how compact the console is. The only downside is having a small storage.

    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.

    Have purchased this and the PS5. Though you won’t get as good of graphics with the S, GAME PASS clearly has a better line of for its consumers. Combining the Xbox Live and Game Pass features is a total plus. If you want the complete package I would highly recommend the Series X. If graphics isn’t a huge thing for you then the S is still a really good console.

    I sold it and got a Series X, this is great as a Gamepass machine. If you already have a huge physical library this is not for you. I have a large physical library that I like to go back to. I did love the Series S, but it wasn’t for me.

    Does the job. Hooked up an external drive for xbox and it kept telling me to install faster games directly to the console, so hard drive cant be as bad as people claimed. Left it on for 3 days, no issues.

    Compact but powerful - it gets warm where we placed ours under the shelf on our computer desk, but that was expected based on the initial feedback from other customers for the Series X

    Awesome Xbox for budget and/or PlayStation fans! I own a PS5 but I decided to buy this to play the game pass games and it works wonderful for that! Also super slim and small so it fits everywhere. 10/10

    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.

    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.

    Good companion console.

    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.
