    I have really enjoyed this xbox so far. Its so sleek and has access to all the great titles. So as long as you dont need a disc drive, this is for anyone wanting to get into xbox or continue with xbox

    Worthwhile upgrade even for next gen lite. Upscaling for older games makes the ol' slog of something like a full new vegas playthrough a dream, not to mention the possibilities of that combined with the dev kit.

    Waited for this to drop and battled for months to grab a console. LOVE it. Switched back to Xbox after being on PlayStation for a few years. Compact design fits anywhere. Stage lack of hard drive space is the only issue.

    I originally bought this for the master chief collection, but ended up buying other things I grew up playing when I had my 360. My only complaint so far is the controller. It feels good to hold, but the logo button is unresponsive at times and takes several presses for it to do anything.

    Bought for my other half. To replace her Xbox One S, It's a massive improvement for a fair price. Though I dislike the smaller base storage that's easily and quickly filled. Along with the fact that expanding that storage is massive cost sink since you can't just get a compatible SSD, you have to buy specifically from Microsoft.

    Easy setup, great options, plenty of memory, game disks unnecessary, love it! I decided to choose this system instead of upgrading from my PS4 to PS5 and very pleased with my decision!

      Hey there,

      We couldn't be happier to hear your son is loving his new Xbox Series S Console! 23/7 may be a little too much time in-game, but who are we to judge. We're thrilled he is enjoying hours of exciting gameplay with his new setup! Thank you for sharing your story with the community. We appreciate your feedback, and are glad it was a good investment for you and your family.

      Happy Gaming,

    Amazing value for a console with a surprisingly amount of power. I used this Xbox as my secondary Xbox and put it in my bedroom. It really is a great machine for gaming and for streaming and is super affordable.

    Excellent piece of kit for a den, office, study or to travel with. SSD and CPU just as fast as the Series X and the compact size is remarkable. Perfect for game pass, 1080/1440p, for traveling or if value is most important.
