    Theres no questions that this is a great console, but it depends on who's shopping. Good performance for light gaming and fits almost anywhere. However, it does lag behind quite a bit compared to other consoles. If you're a gamer between a PS5 or series X and this. Save up the extra money and buy the ladder, this console will leave you wanting. Nevertheless, if youre a casual gamer and dont play anything demanding, id say save a couple or bucks and buy this one

    Compact, Purpose Built, Economic This console boots up, installs, and loads games significantly faster than previous gen consoles. Other key difference between this machine and the previous gen consoles is that it has Quick Resume. NOTE- if you get the the Series S or X, your TV HAS to be hdmi 2.1 ready in order to see the true Next Gen X'periance

    Great system and I was grateful to get it from Best Buy when I couldn't find it anywhere else. I don't have the need to play too many games, just a few, and I'm fine not having the physical disk drive. I like how compact and well designed this is. Very quick and simple to set up anywhere.

    Series s is a beast. Just know.. all previous xbox one x 4k enhanced Backwards compatible titles will be in 1080p running the Xbox one version, but nevertheless this console is a MONSTER. runs Microsoft Flight sim flawlessly and that is basically a high end computer game.

    I like that Microsoft are offering two options. This is the digital only Xbox. The small design is perfect for our needs. The only downfall to these new consoles are the lack of memory internally. If you download 1 to 3 video games that is all your memory. I suggest investing in a compatible hard drive if you are a heavy gamer.

    This will be my second Xbox from Best Buy! I love that they do the 12 months 0% interest! Also tells me how much I will need to pay a month with my purchase. Can’t wait to keep using my CC in the future and get new house appliances!

    This Xbox is perfect and doesn’t take up too much space it runs so well for its small size and it being digital minimizes the clutter with disks and more it is so convenient having all my games in my library rather than taking up space around the house.

    Originally I was a PlayStation player, I own both PS3 and PS4. I have to say that buying this Xbox is honestly one of the best decisions I could’ve made. It is incredibly fast and smooth. The GamePass is also one of the best things I could’ve gotten with it. I will be getting a PS5 at some point not the future but for now, I’m loving my Xbox 10/10 recommend.

    Crazy fast and super small. I am amazed at how well this device works and it looks great on my 55 inch QLED tv. I would recommend an external SSD due to the intense size of current games. Aside from that it is a great unit and super fast. Highly recommend! Great job Micrsoft!!

    At first I was a little skeptical on how it would handle Fallout 76 with FPS Boost on but man oh man has this little machine blown me away. It runs the game at 1080p with a consistent 60fps, even my $800 pc has trouble running the game at 1080p high settings with a consistent 60fps, i like it so much i went ahead and bought 2 more for my 2 nephews. 10/10

    I has the Series X before buying this Series S. I like the white and black look way better than the fridge form factor. The games load and play just as fast. Have not noticed a drop in graphics quality or fps. I currently play on a Vizio 65" OLED TV. The only downside is the storage space but that can be solved easily.
