    Hey everyone! Just wanted to share my thoughts on the Xbox Series S. I recently got mine and I have to say, it arrived in great condition! The price was also really good, which made it even more exciting. The only downside I found was the storage. It's a bit limited, so you might need to manage it wisely. But overall, I'm really happy with my purchase and can't wait to dive into some awesome gaming sessions!

    Bought it as a gift for my grown up son and we love it, I have my own and we play together online and its very fun. As a father, is even better being able to still play with my son.

    With it being very early in the Next-Gen still, I think Microsoft potentially has a home run value here. However, maybe as we stretch further along in the years, we see the S being susceptible to lagging behind.

    I have a PS5 but wanted to get back in the Xbox ecosystem. This is the perfect way to do it at a better price than the Series X. I had the X as well but took it back and decided to keep this console instead. Perfect for the man cave and I the PS5 and a gaming laptop if I need to game at a higher resolution. Also, this is a great console to use with the dev app, boot in to dev mode and have some fun testing or maybe even create apps!

    Purchased this for my brother who is a semi-Xbox gamer, and it was such a good deal that my best friend and other brother went and bought their own after. A great deal for a gamer who wants the option of modern titles without the bulk and price of a Series X.

    Purchased for my 16 year old. He loves the compact size he can easily pack it for road trips or even use it in the SUV's entertainment package and its not taking up much space in the vehicle! We actuall purched the external hard drive recommended and its very small too! Its a win/win for me. One thing he wishes is that the controller had usb charging capability, right now he is using regular batteries or the lithium rechargeables.

    Absolutely love this tiny machine! Pros: Small Very accessible Quiet as a mouse Cheap compared to other next gen consoles Supports 120 fps Cons: Does not support 4k Small storage No Disc Drive I wanted a way to experience gamepass since I missed the X1 gen and gotta say, this was seriously a great way to get introduced! It may not be as powerful as the Series X/PS5 but it’s a great way to get started on gamepass!

    Highly recommend it if you are new to gaming, only game every once in a while, a kid, or a teen! I have an external hard drive (HHD) hooked to it for extra storage:) Really simple to use. Can't go wrong if you don't like to get up to change out games. It's ALL digital. XBOX has deals on games all the time, so it's easy to go into the game shop and see if something cheap catches your eye or that certain game you've been wanting finally goes on sale! The controller batteries do not last long. I would recommend a battery pack or a docking charger! Mine only lasted less than a month.

    Picked this up back when consoles were extremely scarce and loved every minute I used it. It's not as powerful as the Series X but it holds its own as long as you don't mind that all of your games are digital. I mostly use it when I'm traveling and want to game in hotel rooms.
