Many appreciate the ease of use and fast load times, along with the benefits of Xbox Game Pass.

    Was able to snag this up amidst the shortages these days. Great console for enjoying next gen games. Added support for Ray tracing and in a small form factor.

    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.

    5 stars for what it is. Perfect for me because I'm not buying a new TV to be compatible with the X. S is much more tailored to my setup.

    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.
