    At first it was a little worried about the size of it but this Xbox has a lot of capability I have 3 devices connected to it and it runs fine, graphics wise it’s great, and the controller feels great. I would recommend this for sure it’s a great console for its price

    HIGHLY recomened this console. I purchaced a PS5 becuase I am a playstation fanboy. I got bored of it a month later. I bought this xbox since its half the price and i wanted to try out Forza 5. I have been glued to Xbox since. Gamepass is a must if you purchace the xbox. There are thousands of actually good games available. I recomend getting some sott of expansion with this since you dont get that much storage.

    The best budget console on the market that can play all these next generation games. If you're only looking to play a handful of games this generation then this is a great box to help you keep up with modern gaming's demands and its hard to beat that price on any other device (be it PC or console).

    Even though this system is marketed and a less powerful cheaper version of the Xbox series x. The SSD alone is worth it. I bought this system because couldn’t find a ps5 and wasn’t going to pay some scalper 900 bucks for one. This system exceeded all of my expectations. For the money this is great system and it’s an emulation powerhouse. Microsoft need more 1st party killer apps, but this system is worth the buy if you are looking to take that next gen leap.

    I love my Series S. How can you complain with next gen graphics, framerate and loading times for 299? Its perfect for my second T.V. or kids room where we don't use 4k. You'll want to get game pass! Remember it doesn't take disks and buying digital games isn't the best deal. I will take this console with me when I travel. It's so small and fits easy in a backpack. Much easier than putting my Ps4 in a carryon or checked luggage and worrying about it getting damaged.

    I bought this console so i could game fron the comfort of my bed as i only have a gaming pc setup at the moment. I was hesitant at first but boy were those fears alleviated. This console has such fast load times that you dont have time to do anything by the time it loads into a game. Definitely the clear cut choice as most people dont have a high end 4K tv to take advantage of the series X anyways.

    Great console. Once it was updated it was super easy to sign in and transfer all my setting from the old one to the new one. Graphics are great triple digit framerate in some games, and 70+ framerate 4k in other games, I have a 4k 60 Hz tv. If you don't have a 120hz 4k tv/monitor. This is the purchase for you.

    Excellent console that I’ve had now for a year and it has not let me down at all. Furthermore, this console is entry level with low space and a cheap price. Also, with three HDMI plugins it’s very useful and has an amazing performance.
