    So little and so quiet. Bought the Series S for my daughter who just loves the Destiny franchise and it’s been everything as advertised. Super fast loading times and games look better than I thought they would considering the power of the series S is comparable to the PlayStation 4 Pro. Great little system. Just wish it had more hard drive space.

    I find this device very fun and useful! I love not having to use a disk! It saves so much more space! And the console itself is smaller which is great! It helps with keeping less space used!

    Was very happy with the ease of picking this up using preorder. This was a very easy product to set up. The Xbox came with easy to use instructions. I was able to access to game store and order a few games immediately with ease. Definitely get the Game Pass. Also suggest having a fast internet service.

    This product is amazing the only drawback I've found is Rockstar requires you to repurchase gta v on the series consoles as for the system it's self I love it most games load in less than ten seconds it's incredibly compact and I love the expansion options too in short buy this system

    Got the S, due to limited availability of the X. Higher resolution doesn't make that much of a difference, smaller size is more portable, but I would have liked the option of connecting a USB DVD, which you can't. Also forces you to buy the games from a single source. All things I knew when I bought it.

    Great little console that packs a lot of power. For my use, it was definitely worth it over the X. Only issue I have is the storage. For somebody that is going to be playing a lot of bigger Triple-A titles, I would recommend getting the X or some type of storage expansion. I don't even game that much and already went through 99% of my storage.

    Settled for the S due to the X being so hard to find. The Xbox Series S is a tough console to nail down. It's next-gen, but with one rather large drawback; it isn't a 4K games console, which will undoubtedly rule out some potential buyers from the off. But it is about more than just resolution. It slays with XBOX live.

    Extremely difficult to purchase due to very high demand but once I was able to finally purchase it’s the best console available and much better features and updates than the previous Xbox. Loading and downloading times are extremely quicker, I just recommend purchasing an external compatible device for extra storage.

    I have 2 series S for my kids, Xbox series x for myself and PS5 disc version. The series s performs just as well in my opinion. No, it doesn’t have quite as powerful processing speeds or as good of graphics but it performs amazing. I would highly recommend this if you want a PS5 and an Xbox

    Haven’t had this for very long time but this little console is amazing and I can see a performance difference in comparison to the one s. Was lucky enough to snag this 2 days after Christmas with some Christmas money and it’s all that I could afford at this time but I will be searching in hopes of getting the series x sometime this year.

    I like that it doesn’t take up too much space on our tv stand and it has all the same functionality as the larger version. Plus it’s nice to look at cause it’s compact.

    Amazing. Load times are phenomenal and I can't get enough of the graphics. Have the series X and it's just as good. Just wish Xbox still allowed users to stream YouTube while gaming now that next gen is capable of so much

    I love how compact this is and how everything loads pretty fast. I added an additional external drive. The graphics are amazing as usual. I don't need a disc as I buy all digital anyway. Would love the system to come out in the future with a bigger hard drive but am happy with the expansion capabilities.

    My son loves his console this is strictly the new generation that is on digital so anything digital from your other Xbox console will transfer over with no problem once you sign in And you can hook up other storage devices you do not need the $200 storage device!
