    BEST PORTABLE GAMING SET UP ! . I just bought a switch and I thought that was portable . Jeez Microsoft has out done themselves, very fast SSD. The start up intro makes it feel next gen coming from a Xbox one X.

    Amazing system for the size. Hits 120 FPS and can upscale to 4K with HDR. So happy with this, I’ll get an X down the line when more games and developers take more advantage of the technical upgrades.

    I am very happy and impressed with this console. Love the fast load times and the 60 FPS gameplay. The console is also very quiet when on and running games. I would definitely recommend this to anyone.

    Love the new Series S. The price really isn't too terrible. Do wish it had a little more storage space because of how expensive external hard drives are for these, but overall worth it.

    I finally got my Xbox series s. The only thing I don’t like is that there isn’t really a lot of space. After spending 316 dollars on the console I can spend another 220 for a card with an extra tb of space on it.

    Great product, xbox series S I wasn’t willing to spend 500$ on the Series X but it performs just as good for my 1080p games. Great console way better than my Xbox One S and a great value if you can find it at 300$

    Great graphics. completely underrated. The system is much better than I thought. It is a very subtle difference in resolution between the series s and series x and even the ps5.
