    Great value next gen gaming console. Don't sleep on this little beast. Paired with Xbox game pass this machine is totally capable and very versatile. If you have the spare budget u definitely recommend the X for twice the storage space and disc reading capability. Overall a great device for anyone interested in gaming.

    This console is well worth the price. It’s runs very smooth and compare to the Xbox one X, there is no comparison. Only downfall is the internal hard drive is not big enough to store a full library of games, but this is not a big issue for me. I got this for the performance and it has been a super purchase for me!

    It is top of the line. I went from xbox one to this, well you can tell a big difference in graphics, and the playing part of the game is nice. You have a big thing like waiting for a game to load, not anymore. This thing loads ark great, it enhances everything. You can buy this and enjoy playing games all night long.

    The quickness of loading and downloading games or movies, the slimness of the console as well surprised me. The picture quality and frame rate is smooth and really happy with how I do not have a slow frame rate and with modern warfare I can see the finer detail of everything in game.

    Wow! This console is a beast. A lot of people disregard this, but the performance difference to the Series X is barely noticeable. For the price and quality, this is amazing! I've now been using it regularly for 6 months and it has never disappointed me.

    What can I say, it's an Xbox. If you are a fan of the Xbox this is a great system. I have had zero issues with it and I play on it almost every day.

    Wanted a series X, but couldn't find one, so I broke down and purchased this so I could experience "next gen". I am glad I did, its small and compact to put anywhere, graphics are great! Also, it not having a disc drive is a non factor! Great little system, highly recommend!!!!

    I bought both the PS5 and the Xbox series S console. I loved the Xbox, but I’ve always been a die hard PlayStation fan. It doesn’t make sense to pay for gold live, game pass and ps plus. It’s too expensive. However, don’t underestimate this little compact machine, can definitely pack a punch for your 4K gamin experience.

    Love this system.. I already have the series x , but wanted a system in my spare room also. I literally can't tell any difference. It doesn't make any noise unlike the series X. This thing is super quiet and I got it on sale for 250.…cheers to me

    I wasn’t quite sure I would like no disc console, but I really like. It having to store game discs. My daughter loves playing games as well as myself on this Xbox. We aren’t crazy, hardcore gamers so this may be not great for others but fits perfect for us.

    The Xbox Series S is unfortunately a bit underwhelming and often times a bit frustrating. The networking gear on it is not vamped up or powerful in any way which really sucks because its a download only console (like why). Besides that point it also tends to close applications occasionally. Lastly the NEXT GEN game catalogue has just been really underwhelming this console generation. It runs really well as a media hub for your home theatre (ie, runs your apps and shows well)] Controllers have stick drift often and storage you can download a half a game and a backstreet boys CD and hit max capacity.
