    Great console doesn’t take up any space on your dresser or wherever you would put it and for the digital only lovers I would highly recommend this console now you like to play the older OG Xbox and 360 games then get the series x it’s much easier to play whatever game you want

    Product has been awesome and I'm thrilled to see the improvements to my Xbox One S. I got this as a replacement and was amazed by the quick load times and the quick resume feature. The fact that all of my accessories and digital games also work made it easy on my wallet. Too bad that none of my discs will work, but I haven't bought a disc in three years so I don't think I'll miss those games.

    Had it for 18 months now, it hasn't let us down. 512GB is just too small of capacity given how big games are now. Although you can expand that with the expensive expansion slot, or get a 1TB HD and plug in USB. Glad to see a 1TB is being released.

    Great Game Pass Box, But No Surprises

    Really great console for the price. Can't even buy a GPU that does 60fps 1440p, let alone one that does ray tracing, for $300. The most "next-gen" feeling feature here is the Quick Resume. Everything else sort of feels like my older Xbox One X. I attribute most of that feeling to the lack of a meaningful dashboard/UI upgrade. I have a PS5 as well, and that had a from the ground up brand new UI. Over all, super great Game Pass machine. Haven't tapped into the RetroArch emulation you can do on this thing with a dev account, but I'll definitely give it a shot. Giving it a 4/5 because it's a great price vs. performance value, but doesn't really carry the weight of a "next-gen console."

    I enjoy using my XBOX daily. More so, the cloud gaming capabilities have extended the use of this xbox even further. I haven’t had any issues with having no disc drive and I enjoy the games available to me.

    I can’t believe I waited a whole year without a next gen system like this the switch lite is cool but this just takes it to another level I have had both Xbox one an ps4 an this Series S is on a different level than both I definitely suggest if your looking for a next gen system this is the way to go if you don’t want to be overpriced by PS5 an Series X Vaulters…

    Love it! Glad I was able to finally get one. Though it’s not the one I would like to have. I am very happy with my purchase! Everything works amazingly well! if you don’t have physical games & you love getting all of them digitally this is the move. Until you’re able to get the series x
