    Entire family loves ours. Great for streaming or gaming. Gamepass is 100% worth subscribing to if you're even a little bit into video games. Storage is lacking so keep that in mind.

    Best system to get into next gen gaming aside from being digital only and held back on graphics.

    Great for the price. I've used the console for gamepass and it runs great, but on incredibly high end games (high fps and above 1080p) it will struggle a bit, however it runs like a champ and is great deal for the price you pay.

    Xbox Series S what can I saw I was blown away. I’ve been playing Forza Horizon 5, Halo Infinite, Back 4 Blood the games look absolutely amazing. This is the best generation of gaming. You definitely need a 4K tv to truly experience the full capacity of this console. I truly recommend that you also get the Sea Gate Expansion Card as well you’ll definitely need it for the big games.

    Wow just amazing, just love the next gen Xbox. Although I am writing this review for the S series I also was able to acquire the Series X and it is one amazingly powerful console. Seeing 4k at 120hz for the first time is quite a sight to see. Its also whisper quite, thank you Microsoft for giving one amazing console for next gen to build upon.

    Greta, I couldn’t find the Series X in stock so I decided to buy this one for my gf (as a way of sneaking on into the house) and she loved it. Bought a Seagate 4tb hard drive and she can download just about anything on there and play. If you’re into competition this will do the job for console, not the best but it’s good enough. I was able to score a series X but this one is now in my living room and it’s great

    As a casual gamer this is perfect for me. Allows me to play all the new Xbox titles without breaking the bank. I do have to use an external storage for larger titles but it’s easy enough to transfer to internal when I need.

    Massive upgrade from Xbox One

    I upgraded to this from the original Xbox One, and I totally love it. The graphics, especially the frame rates, are a massive improvement over the previous generation. But for me, the killer features are the blazing fast load times and quick resume. You spend a lot more time enjoying your games and less time staring at loading screens. Highly recommend upgrading if you can find one!

    So fast. Faster boot-up and quieter than my xbox1. The handiness of digital is awesome. I just have a problem with the added monthly charge for game pass, but that's nothing to do with tho box itself. Smooth play and great revolution. This is the S so it does not have a disc option, so if you do not do disks like me its perfect.
