Many appreciate the ease of use and fast load times, along with the benefits of Xbox Game Pass.

    I love it. It is great for my son. It’s smaller than the Xbox one S and it’s so quiet. Gamepass is the best thing to buy for a kid as well. So many games for kids available.

    Settled for the S due to the X being so hard to find. The Xbox Series S is a tough console to nail down. It's next-gen, but with one rather large drawback; it isn't a 4K games console, which will undoubtedly rule out some potential buyers from the off. But it is about more than just resolution. It slays with XBOX live.

    Extremely difficult to purchase due to very high demand but once I was able to finally purchase it’s the best console available and much better features and updates than the previous Xbox. Loading and downloading times are extremely quicker, I just recommend purchasing an external compatible device for extra storage.

    I had gotten this xbox as a gift for my boyfriend. It was an upgrade from his old one! Small, sleek. The picture is nice. I think there are no complaints here.

    Great console and even with the limited storage most games still work great on it. It even comes with batteries in the controller. Unfortunately it’s not a rechargeable battery

    I have 2 series S for my kids, Xbox series x for myself and PS5 disc version. The series s performs just as well in my opinion. No, it doesn’t have quite as powerful processing speeds or as good of graphics but it performs amazing. I would highly recommend this if you want a PS5 and an Xbox

    I been on PlayStation for over a decade, got this just for Starfield and am very happy with the performance and the option for additional storage if needed. Look forward to trying other games.

    Haven’t had this for very long time but this little console is amazing and I can see a performance difference in comparison to the one s. Was lucky enough to snag this 2 days after Christmas with some Christmas money and it’s all that I could afford at this time but I will be searching in hopes of getting the series x sometime this year.

    I find this device very fun and useful! I love not having to use a disk! It saves so much more space! And the console itself is smaller which is great! It helps with keeping less space used!

    Good price works well better system for Game Pass. One snag is the deleting and redownloading of games since the true hard-drive space is only 364gb

    Amazing. Load times are phenomenal and I can't get enough of the graphics. Have the series X and it's just as good. Just wish Xbox still allowed users to stream YouTube while gaming now that next gen is capable of so much

    I love how compact this is and how everything loads pretty fast. I added an additional external drive. The graphics are amazing as usual. I don't need a disc as I buy all digital anyway. Would love the system to come out in the future with a bigger hard drive but am happy with the expansion capabilities.
