    Have been enjoying playing the games that came with the free game pass. It is a nice console and the controller feels good. Nice graphics and a good deal. The console is discless which is a first for me but it has not giving me any issues. Have yet to really mess with it a whole lot but so Far it has been fun and a good purchase.

    I’ve never owned a non-Nintendo console, and it’s been at least 10 years since I’ve had a console at all. I’m obsessed! Worth the money, especially for me since I don’t play a huge variety of games. Simple set-up, doesn’t take a whole lot of space, and it’s nice and clean too.

    Great Budget Console

    Make sure you know what you're getting, but from a value perspective, the Series S is hard to beat. It's a digital only console, meaning no disc games, but pair this with Gamepass, the best value in gaming, and you have an awesome budget package. Sure the PS 5 and and Series X can perform better, but if you are okay with 1080p gaming, then this is the way to go.

    Got this for my SO's birthday, and I have to say that it is a great buy. If you think you might need extra memory at any point, just buy an SSD (I purchased a 1TB and it all works together like a charm). Unless you 100% HAVE to HAVE the X, get this console...so worth it. Graphics are amazing, quick loading times, just a good unit overall.

    Cheapest way to pay next gen. If you have game pass and want gaming on cheap this is for you. Only 4 stars because won’t realistically do 4K or 60fps on next gen games.

    Best Next Gen Console

    Pretty good, compact and silent. I was mostly digital on my playstation 4 pro. Best next gen console, and I say that because it’s accessible unlike the ps5 and xbox series x. It opens your gaming world up to next gen and the best load times i have seen. Can’t complain, and it’s a budget console. I highly recommend this project

    Xbox S Plus Game Pass Equals Fun for Everyo

    Got this for my kiddo, they love it! We got the game pass to get access to the library and this thing is like a mini arcade now. So many games to choose from that are free and it fast, graphics are pretty good, the only draw back is the hard drive size, can burn through the drive pretty quickly.

    A moderate upgrade, and a mini space heater!

    This item is well worth the price for the upgraded processing and graphics. I appreciate the “digital only” aspect, as my primary gaming is done on PC. As a box to play exclusives and sports games, it’s a moderate upgrade over the xbox one S, with sognificantly better graphics. The only reason not to give it 5 stars is because it’s a mini space heater, and it occaisionally makes some odd hardware sounds typical of the first iteration of next-gen hardware.

    The series s is a very good system.. System operates very quietly and the graphics are superb. I am currently playing flight simulator and Mlb the show and both games look fantastic. Only draw back would be the ssd being 512 gb but to me it's a non issue because I'll only actually play a couple of games at a times in a month or two......

    Great system. Memory suck. Completely. Sad

    I love it. Except for one thing. Hard drive sucks. No space. I own 30 games digitally and only 4 fit on it with three people having different tastes. The expansion card cost almost as much as the game. Very disappointed about such a small fix that Microsoft decided to nickel and dime their customers for. Just once I want to see a company “do the right thing”. Just once. There wouldn’t be any money list. Instead of spending money on expansion I would spend it on games. Now I won’t buy the expansion or the games. “Do the right thing” and you’ll still make major money.

    I’m no Xbox fanboy but it is a great system. Have had my series x for a couple years and play it almost every day. If you’re looking for a system with an actual drive, not digital, grab the series x. But this is big bang for the Buck.
