    I love it. It is great for my son. It’s smaller than the Xbox one S and it’s so quiet. Gamepass is the best thing to buy for a kid as well. So many games for kids available.

    I came from a release day xbox one that was always loud and starting to slow down tremendously. This console refreshed the overall feeling on xbox. It has amazing graphics! Would definitely recommend

    So this is my first x box. Still learning how it works but so far it’s a ton of fun. My bundle came with a second controller and 3 months of game pass. Forza horizon 5 is a blast. I’m amazed by the graphics. The controllers feel great, love the texture and grip.

    My best friend loved this purchase. I got it for him as a birthday gift! We play it all the time together, and he loves how it uses all his online data and storage making gaming easier then ever for him on his Microsoft account. The only problem is how he doesn’t like to take turns with his games, he’s a bit of a game hog.

    I had gotten this xbox as a gift for my boyfriend. It was an upgrade from his old one! Small, sleek. The picture is nice. I think there are no complaints here.

    Great system for being the “economic” version! Have t had any issues besides having to move games back and forth from my external storage because it’s not very big. We have 2 of these and 2 of the X and they are completely comparable for us in gameplay.

    Great console and even with the limited storage most games still work great on it. It even comes with batteries in the controller. Unfortunately it’s not a rechargeable battery

    It seems more powerful than they claim it to be. I bought this to replace my One S and it can perform circles around that system! If going discless is your thing, this little system if a steal at this price! If you can manage and afford to get the Series X, definitely get that one, but there's no denying the bargain of the Series S

    Best purchase you could ever have if your lifestyle is to get some spare time after work and weekends ! Performance is excellent , quick resume , the only thing I’d suggest would be to get an SSD or external HardDrive to store more games since is only 512GB. The rest is amazing!

    This is my first Xbox. So far, I enjoy every minute that I spend playing games on the Xbox system. I was trying to buy the one x but now I changed my mind. I prefer 1 s because it’s less expensive, not so big, and considering the price point, the difference in specs between the one x and s is insignificant.

    I been on PlayStation for over a decade, got this just for Starfield and am very happy with the performance and the option for additional storage if needed. Look forward to trying other games.

    I had to settle for the series s because I could not find the series x anywhere and when I did find it it was extremely expensive. So with that being said I love my series s. It barely takes up space. Haven't had any issues with downloading or games lagging or anything like that.
