    I’ve been a loyal PlayStation user my whole life and i still am but i bought the Xbox because of all of the exclusives that come with the game pass and overall I’ve been enjoying it but i will say that putting 2 AA batteries in the controller every other week is a joke. But the console itself in a whole is very nice it runs very quick and smoothly

    Haven’t been able to use the 120 FPS feature yet because my tv only pushes 60 but it still runs AMAZING! Can’t wait to hook it up to a monitor that is able to push that many frame rates

    Great starter or second console. Lots of bang for your buck here! Add Game Pass to the mix, and this little box will keep you entertained for hours.

    I didn't need it, but for some reason i just saw it as necessary. I felt like if i wanted i can hide it behind tv in a setup. I take it with me to work during night shifts at a hotel. I love it.

    Can't call it next gen...

    I'm a PlayStation person, but PS5s are hard to come by so I made the Series S my first Xbox. I really like the size and it reminds me of the PlayStation 2. Thus far, I wouldn't call this a next generation console, but more of an iterative update. Maybe my experience and opinion would be different if the next generation games like Halo Infinite, Forza Horizon 5, or the next Gears were available. I'm also disappointed that the controller does not come with a rechargeable battery in the box. All in all the Series S is a decent value for the money. But I'm not sold on it being a next generation console, at least not at this point.

    Amazing machine! I own both series x and s, and the s holds up well. Great if you arent in the latest abd greatest tvs or the very highest level console graphics arent a priority.

    This is a truly excellent system that is capable of some amazing things. My kids are really enjoying it. The only real annoyance: insufficient onboard storage memory necessitating the purchase of an additional expansion card. That said, once the latter is plugged into the back of this thing, it's really pretty cool.

    I wasn't really pleased with the xbox. Had it for maybe 3 months before I sold it. There are not any great relapse out for it. Nothing that the xbox one can't have or do. Loading times are fast. I did put this into developer mode and played all retro games. It was nice , but it just sat.. I played my trusty PS4 Pro can't go wrong with them!

    Very smooth faster loading than Xbox One. More stable on internet. I wish the memory was bigger for my purposes, but this is a great machine and a big step up in processing power and performance!
