    My kids love it! It was a little frustrating setting up and still navigating through it can be confusing. But the kids have been loving it, hard to get them off!

    The series S is in a weird positional where it only has value for gamepass or exclusive titles. That being said if you're a gamer for the past 10 year and play game daily then gamepass will have nothing you haven't played already and you'll be stuck staring at a store page waiting for an exclusive. The form factor and size is nice, if you get one for $250 during the holidays then thats even better but other than a device that just covers my shelf it gets used once every 3-4 months
