    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.

    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!

    Great machine for the price. Great graphics and game load times are quick as advertised. However, make sure your TV is a true 4k and check for updates on it. The frame rates are resource intense. If you’re a disc player, you’ll either repurchase your titles or start fresh with the many X/S versions available and remastered coming. And if you’re an “eye candy” player like me, it’s worth starting fresh with the X/S versions. I was waiting, as others, for the X, and who knows when it’ll be available but I’m satisfied with the S. This machine rocks!

    There's a lot of power in this small console for reasonable price . The audio and video are improved from my previous xbox one s , in a slightly smaller package . The one and only complaint I have is that you can not use this system if you don't have a smart phone , my ps5 is plug and play no smart phone activation required .

    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.

    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.

    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.

    So glad I finally got my hands on one. I haven’t found any games that blow my mind with next-gen optimization, but I’m loving the all digital system. It’s so small, I was actually shocked. Not much taller or wider than my Switch when it’s docked. Game pass is so worth it to me. I’m excited for future games to come out that are optimized for the system.

    Overall, I like how the Series S performs for the price. It is the perfect companion console if you have a chunky P.C. The M.2 drives and quick resume play is amazing Backwords compatibility and Indie games are the highlights for this console, if you are looking for true next generation gaming then go for the Series X or a RTX3080 equipped computer.

    Good device for the value. Not as fast as the Xbox x but still a really nice machine. Graphics and speed are really good. Enjoy playing sports games on the series S.
