    Easy to set up and the graphics are amazing! As far as space, I already had an addition storage from previous Xbox.

    Bought for my other half. To replace her Xbox One S, It's a massive improvement for a fair price. Though I dislike the smaller base storage that's easily and quickly filled. Along with the fact that expanding that storage is massive cost sink since you can't just get a compatible SSD, you have to buy specifically from Microsoft.

      Hey there,

      The optimized computing power and near-instant load times of your new Xbox Series S Console are some of its shining attributes.

We're happy you are pleased with its performance! Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. We appreciate your feedback!

      Happy Gaming,

    I really wanted to be able to play some of the Gamepass games that I wasn't able to on my PC. This more than adequately does the trick. I know it's not 4K, but it looks great on my 1440P monitors. Very happy.

    So happy with this console. I would recommend to a friend. If you turn on notifications for the Best Buy app, you can get notified when they restock quicker. I would say this is a perfect office console.

    I bought this for the Microsoft Flight Simulator Game. I like that it comes in an all-white scheme that matches the Sony PS5. it runs a little HOT when playing. So make sure it has plenty of ventilation.

    The kids love the new xbox. The graphics are amazing...especially since this was an upgrade for us from a 360. I like the ability to try different games through game pass as well. I did waffle a little between getting the s or the x as we have a lot of games that we won’t be able to use now but for the price we decided this was a better fit for our family. Overall, the kids love it!

    The entry level next gen console is a dream machine. Pair with this game pass and it’s potential is unlocked. Be mindful of the internal storage however as it only comes with 384 GB of immediate use

    Console is good and I have not had any problems with it, DO NO DO USE THE CITIZEN'S ONE FINANCING OPTION. As far as I can tell so far it is just a run around making you call in each month to get a new code for Xbox Game Pass. You are better off to either buy the console by itself. Or just keep calling to get codes everyday until you have a years worth of codes.
