    I replaced a PS4 with this unit. Never been happier and I was wanting to try the XBOX. Its beautifully designed and with a combination of this model and Game Pass Ultimate you can't really lose. To me personally, this is a way better experience for the money. Microsoft nailed this one. Good luck!

    Insane Console

    Insane performance for an insanely cheap next gen console. Been using it for 6 months and have had no problems. The fans have basically no sound and the ssd is really good. Buy this over the series x and even the Ps5 if you wanna save some money, unless of course you want the ps exculsives.

    This system was very hard to get and I finally got lucky and was able to put in cart and purchase with an arrival day of Dec 31st and it came Dec 24th. Merry Christmas to my grandson who thought it would come by January 26 for his Birthday. He is happy and so are we. He's such a good kid and that was one of his rewards.

    A lot of power in such a small box!

    A lot of power in such a small box! The next gen has arrived and this is one of least expensive ways of making that transition. A total move away from physical discs you get the performance and glorious beauty of the next gen. The only caveat is you will run out of storage especially with big games such as COD-Cold War.

    I would have given this a 4 star. However the experience was amazing!! Once the games are downloaded it’s pretty fast. For the 4 stars. It was only because my kids was playing Xbox one at their moms house. And asked me to get off my career mode because they wanted to play. Grrrrrr. Now I’m back on the hunt for PS5

    I was a little skeptical when purchasing this item. I really wanted a ps5 but it seems like I'll never get one so I settled for this console. No regrets. Still 120 fps at 1440p load times are mad fast and it has such a compact design. Only downside is storage and that it's digital.... but it's no deal breaker for me so

    Good Performance at 4k, Small Storage

    Enjoying my new XBox Series S. Performance is good for any games I have played and I play primarily on a 75" 4k tv. I do feel slightly limited with the lack of a disk drive on the unit and the storage space is definitely too small for anything more than half a dozen games, but I knew that going into the purchase. I will add that I seem to be limited to a download speed of ~250Mbps while direct wired to a gigabit connection. No idea why I can't go beyond that as every other device I have performs at max speed, but it's not a huge deal.

    I love it, I’m glad I was able to get this at retail without giving in to resellers… but I’m actually disappointed that this was shipped out WITHOUT A BOX!! This is in high demand and people get hurt over these things, but this was shipped out in no discreet packaging. Please do better about this.

    Games look great and I love how small it is. Storage is enough for now. The only thing is that I do wish that I would have waited a little bit more for the Series X because it is nice to be able to buy used disc games for cheaper prices. There are a lot of games on Game Pass but I miss being able to buy new releases secondhand for much cheaper. For that reason and for the actual system differences, if I were to do it over again I would probably have just waited and paid a little more for the X.

    Great value next gen gaming console. Don't sleep on this little beast. Paired with Xbox game pass this machine is totally capable and very versatile. If you have the spare budget u definitely recommend the X for twice the storage space and disc reading capability. Overall a great device for anyone interested in gaming.

    This console is well worth the price. It’s runs very smooth and compare to the Xbox one X, there is no comparison. Only downfall is the internal hard drive is not big enough to store a full library of games, but this is not a big issue for me. I got this for the performance and it has been a super purchase for me!

    It is top of the line. I went from xbox one to this, well you can tell a big difference in graphics, and the playing part of the game is nice. You have a big thing like waiting for a game to load, not anymore. This thing loads ark great, it enhances everything. You can buy this and enjoy playing games all night long.
