    My husband was so happy to receive this as his birthday present! He has been playing it almost every day since and it hasn’t given us any issues.

    Purchased this Xbox for my boyfriend so we can both play FH5 when it comes out. He's been using it for a couple weeks now and so far no complaints. These are hard to find so I was ecstatic when I found Best Buy had them in stock near me.

    Excellent System! If you don't mind going all digital as I pretty much did with the Xbox One X, then you'll be fine. What amazed me most of all is how fast it is. It literally boots to a ready state twice as fast as the PS5 which I also have.

    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.

    This gaming console was really easy to set up and the controller was simple to learn. I also purchased the Game Pass which is a great way to try out games. Really happy with this purchase.

    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.

    Don’t let 512gb fool you! I downloaded 5 games, and have only 75gb left maybe better to go for the larger size if you want more games. Also seems to disconnect from Wi-Fi frequently, causing me to have to re-join my Wi-Fi and re-enter my password. Also some elements are very hard for visually impaired people to see. Be prepared to sit closer to the TV if you are visually impaired.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Xbox over PlayStation any day. Fast downloads when hooked up to Ethernet. Small storage however so I recommend an SSD as well

    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.

    Didnt want to wait for a series x. Bought this for a discounted price & couldn't be happier. This plus gamepass is a gaming machine & runs smooth, quiet, and lets us play for hours on end!
