    This was a gift. I have one myself also. So since I haven’t heard Andy complaints from the recipient and I enjoy playing my series S then it gets a good review. I use it as my “Travel Gaming” console.

    What can I say besides WOW! This console is awesome for someone starting out on Xbox. The graphics are great, game pass is a very good service. Only downside is the amount of space in the console. Definitely a must buy

    It is amazing I love the Xbox series S no complaints and if your waiting for the Series X just get the S it prob is to much for your monitor or tv to handle anyways most tvs don’t run 120fps

    I just wanted the cheaper Xbox for my bedroom. I was really surprised at the picture quality. I have a 65” Sony and the picture is so sharp. I love it!

    The differences in graphics to series X is not worth the $200 extra. It upscales 1440p to 4k, full 120 frames and more. You cant find a gaming oc for $299 that supports these specs and has raytracing.

    Mighty compact and affordable

    The compact size and minimalistic design should be a perfect fit for any scenario. Performance is good today but will show signs of weakness a few years ahead if you dont mind 1080p gaming this is good. For 300 it is a great value and as long as you are willing to manage the small storage capacity. if you plan on paying $200 extra for the expanded storage option just buy the series x instead

    I’m a casual X boxer and this is perfect for me. I use it as a game pass rig and love it. It’s mind blowingly small and the UI is super fast and snappy! The perfect thing to hold me over while I was looking everywhere for a PS5!

    I use this in my workout room, primarily with my exercise bike. It’s nice to be able to get online and get some dailies done while I get some exercise.

    If you still have an Xbox 1 then upgrade to this!

    One of the best price to performance consoles that has ever been released. Seriously you can do so much with this thing and it is so much quicker than an X1X for the same price.

    Best deal for Next Gen

    Best deal in next gen gaming. I have a series X and the S is for my older non 4K TV. If you don’t need 4K this is the way to go. Only downside is the storage space but I bought the expansion drive to switch between the X and S.

    Easy hook up. You can see the upgrades in game performance. Game Pass is the best value in gaming. I can finally play on XBL lag free. The only negative is limited storage space but my next buy will be the larger storage.

    This console with the game pass is a great combo! For what you pay for it feels like such a steal. It’s quick and powerful, the only downside is the memory. Definitely wish it came with more memory

    It's smaller than I expected. Space is limited if that matters to you. No disk drive if you have games on disk. If you're on a budget and this is what you're looking for, get it, otherwise I'd recommend the series x. Other than that, a good unit. Ordered for curbside pickup, which was a good experience.

    Awesome Xbox. Downloads games way faster than my original Xbox one. Paid the same amount as when I bought my Xbox one so it wasn’t bad at all. Digital is better for me since I have a kid that likes to destroy Xbox games.
