    The S

    It seems more powerful than they claim it to be. I bought this to replace my One S and it can perform circles around that system! If going discless is your thing, this little system if a steal at this price! If you can manage and afford to get the Series X, definitely get that one, but there's no denying the bargain of the Series S

    So this is my first x box. Still learning how it works but so far it’s a ton of fun. My bundle came with a second controller and 3 months of game pass. Forza horizon 5 is a blast. I’m amazed by the graphics. The controllers feel great, love the texture and grip.

    My boys and I love our Xbox! I enjoy having the subscription for us but there are a few that I had to purchase which is cool too. The picture quality is amazing and I enjoy the sound effects on our surround sound system.

    So little and so quiet. Bought the Series S for my daughter who just loves the Destiny franchise and it’s been everything as advertised. Super fast loading times and games look better than I thought they would considering the power of the series S is comparable to the PlayStation 4 Pro. Great little system. Just wish it had more hard drive space.

    This is my first Xbox. So far, I enjoy every minute that I spend playing games on the Xbox system. I was trying to buy the one x but now I changed my mind. I prefer 1 s because it’s less expensive, not so big, and considering the price point, the difference in specs between the one x and s is insignificant.

    Great system for being the “economic” version! Have t had any issues besides having to move games back and forth from my external storage because it’s not very big. We have 2 of these and 2 of the X and they are completely comparable for us in gameplay.

    Best purchase you could ever have if your lifestyle is to get some spare time after work and weekends ! Performance is excellent , quick resume , the only thing I’d suggest would be to get an SSD or external HardDrive to store more games since is only 512GB. The rest is amazing!

    Was very happy with the ease of picking this up using preorder. This was a very easy product to set up. The Xbox came with easy to use instructions. I was able to access to game store and order a few games immediately with ease. Definitely get the Game Pass. Also suggest having a fast internet service.

    I had to settle for the series s because I could not find the series x anywhere and when I did find it it was extremely expensive. So with that being said I love my series s. It barely takes up space. Haven't had any issues with downloading or games lagging or anything like that.

    This product is amazing the only drawback I've found is Rockstar requires you to repurchase gta v on the series consoles as for the system it's self I love it most games load in less than ten seconds it's incredibly compact and I love the expansion options too in short buy this system

    Got the S, due to limited availability of the X. Higher resolution doesn't make that much of a difference, smaller size is more portable, but I would have liked the option of connecting a USB DVD, which you can't. Also forces you to buy the games from a single source. All things I knew when I bought it.

    Great little console that packs a lot of power. For my use, it was definitely worth it over the X. Only issue I have is the storage. For somebody that is going to be playing a lot of bigger Triple-A titles, I would recommend getting the X or some type of storage expansion. I don't even game that much and already went through 99% of my storage.
