    My husband purchased this for a friend since he has helped us a lot and he loved it! It's not the newest version, but he only needs it for one thing and that is COD so it gets the job done.

    Its a nice good quality new system overall and its real quiet, i got lucky to even find one because nowdays there in demand with the xbox due to shortages and scalpers buying them and selling them for a rip off price, in the long run its worth the $324 for the system.

    Great upgrade from the past gen, smooth transition for those already accumulated into the XB ecosystem. Using the app to set up your Series S is super quick and easy. Along with quick resume. 4K gaming never looked better and this machine is quiet. Certainly beats PS4.

    Nice Cheap Version of the Xbox

    The Series S is good, but I wish I had bought another Series X instead. The X is worth the increased cost. But it's good they made this, as the previous generation One X would be 3-stars compared to it, and the previous generation One S would only be 2-stars compared to it. The solid state storage load times make all the difference, but 512GB isn't great.

    Quality Product, with a few fixable flaws

    I am very happy with my purchase. Just a few minor complaints. I love the size, and price point. It gets you into the next gen at a realistic price. I think the games run smooth. Sure they are not on same level with Series X or PS5 but they will do. My one complaint is I do not like the Xbox UI and the options for audio / mics. Just seems very dumbed down + hard to navigate.

    This console is much smaller than the original Xbox One I previously had, which is what my brother liked about it. It's perfect for him since he only buys digital games and doesn't want to swap out discs every time he wants play a different game.

    This thing is very underrated. Its fast and small, and is perfect if you want to travel with just a couple of "essential" games......or stash it in a room/place that wouldn't normally have space for a console setup. Just cant do 8K....oh well.

    Good console if you could find one

    overall this is a good console for anyone who either doesn't care about 4k or that can't find a Series X or Ps5. games download quick, no framerate dips thus far, fast loading times. main issue i have is the storage. If you want to play games optimized for the Series S/X you will need to make smart use of its 364GB of usable storage or fork out another +$220 for the Seagate 1TB expansion card or get a lower spec HDD or SSD for older unoptimized games.

    It is working like a charm. Slipped it between my two monitors and sometimes I switch between my PC dual display to one monitor. Turn my xbox on to display on my 1080p 240hz monitor and bam! you got the best of both words. Shape and Size is perfect to fit on your desk!

    Worth upgrading from the “one”. I also transitioned to a gaming monitor and it’s been incredible. Graphics/gameplay/ everything about it is worth it. Pretty sleek too, and much smaller so it looks good displayed.
