    First night with it, I am in love. I used to have an Xbox one s and I can tell that the series s is way way better by a long shot. Get game pass ultimate too by the way because you’ll have over a hundred games to choose from once you start using it.

    Xbox Series S has been a great upgrade to game system. When we got a new 4K TV earlier in the year, my old xbox graphics looked horrible on the new screen. The series S has crisp clear graphics to enjoy game system on big screen.

    Every good system. Not as good as the X, but every close be hide. In some instances it beats the X in loading times or handles some games a little better.

    Perfect console for anyone. It looks good and runs great. Only downside is the amount of storage but a hard drive is an easy add on

    I bought this for my son to replace his Xbox s. He uses a 1440p monitor and this is absolutely perfect! It runs at 1440p 60frames! One thing I really liked is the ability to run all you older items. Controllers, headsets, remotes, etc.... It boots up quick and the quick resume is freaking awesome. Perfect for PC monitors.

    From someone who was originally planning on getting the PS5 I missed out and instead settled on the Xbox series S. I planned on getting this eventually but not until later in the year however this console is a great system for both new and existing Xbox fans.

    One of the 3 “Next Gen” consoles. A great little console for the little ones to have instead of spending the extra money on bells and whistles kids don’t pay attention to. Bought for my son and he loves it. With console home sharing, he has everything he needs.

    Used to own a PS4, but had to make the switch to XBox after not being able to purchase a PS5. The XBox is far superior and much easier to use and interact with.

    I think we all know there’s literally a shortage on these. When I saw it in stock I had to hurry up and get it for my son. This is a fast console for the size literally don’t let the size fool you. It’s a great purchase and worth every penny.

    It's an XBox..what more needs to be said. It's quiet, sleek, and plays games. Of course, there's no disc drive, so all the games are digital.

    The size is amazing for me while in college. It is really powerful and my best advice would be to buy an external hard drive to store all the other games. Overall worth it for the $300 and was way easier to buy than the Series X at the moment.
