    I bought this because it is hard to buy PS 5 at that time, at first I thought I just use this game box temporary, one year pass, still hard to get PS 5 and X box series X, and I found this game box working good, the most important thing is I can use XGPU, that is amazing, I like it.

    I got this system simply due to the fact that the Series X was almost impossible to find. I was worried that games would run poorly or be held back due to the lower specs of the Series S. My worries were put to rest when every game ran extremely smooth. Forza Horizon 5, Halo Infinite, and Flight Simulator all ran great.

    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.

    It’s the next generation Xbox; use your galaxy brain to figure out what it does. The practical difference between this (model S) and the model X is 4K resolution. If you 1. don’t have a 4K capable monitor/tv &/or 2. prefer playing games with performance over visuals (ex. competitive titles) then this is fine. Don’t use disks, they’re a dying hardware.

    Great console! I usually prefer the concept of disc for consoles but considering disc drives always have issues over time this console makes the most sense. Has the benefits of the series x but won’t have future issues.

    I bought this as upgrade to the xbox one x, and let me tell you it was not a mistake. i see a lot of people saying to stay with the one x, over this, but the load times and optimization make it wayyyy worth it. my advice is to sell the one x, if you have it, and upgrade to this.

    For 300, this is a perfect console to jump into the next generation. It's amazing what MS did here by putting out a very capable piece of hardware for a price we haven't seen in the past couple generations. I bought this for my kids and a sub to gamepass. So far no complaints and it's only going to get better as MS puts out more games.

    Bought this with a casual gamer in mind for Christmas to upgrade from their old VCR style Xbox one. Needless to say it was a special highlight of their Christmas morning. Plus the value can't be beat if you don't care about max settings on everything. Highly recommend!

    Honestly a great current generation console. I definitely recommend game pass ultimate. Only complaint is storage capacity/ the proprietary sea gate expansion card. However, it’s easy enough to buy an external drive and transfer games you’re currently playing back and forth.

    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.

    Ever wanted to have a console that plays your games at a good enough resolution to appreciate the visuals at a price that won’t break your pocket? Look no further. Especially if you already own a Playstation and want a backup console to travel or just play something different.
