    This little system is great. I have it hooked up to my 32”MSI gaming monitor and it look excellent. New control is nice not a major change to it but I like it. This thing is small. Gave it 4 stars because it does not have disk drive. Would like to play some of my old games on it and can’t.

    Great console for the price. Able to play all the next gen without breaking the bank. And it was fairly easy to buy so I’m not popping a nerve to get one.

    I purchased for my son. He was over the moon. Has been playing non stop. He doesn't use the discs so this was perfect for his needs.

    Great Value for the Price

    I recently purchased the Xbox S series for my 9 year old son’s birthday. The Series S is great for the price. We play most of our games through Xbox Game Pass or digital download so the cd drive was not needed. The storage (512 GB) leaves a lot to be desired but I was easily able to find a 1 TB external hard drive and format it easily to the Xbox. I will say that there have been some bugs such as cloud gaming not working and local multiplayer, but for the price it’s a good console.

    Bought it for a friend and and it was a substantial upgrade from their base Xbox One. At $300 this is a great value, especially when combined with Game Pass.

    Very good console for casual gamers. It is a great investment if coupled with Xbox ultimate pass with tons of games and you don't worry about changing disks.
