    Plays great and has fast loading times. The only cons is that it has barely any storage and it stays hot all the time.

    This a great option for last generation gaming if you can’t find any other in stock or they want to charge you over the original price. It’s a great gaming console, with a lot of games and simulators. Very happy with it!.

    I have a series x already but needed a next gen for the living room. The series x was out of stock so i grabbed this b4 the proposed price increase. Also picked up a memory card bc 500gb is not enough.

    For the price, extremely hard to beat. Great performance but really the one con is the storage size. Depending on the games you play, this console might only be able to hold 3 games max. Not necessarily Microsoft’s fault that game developers make their file sizes so big though!

    This is my first ever Xbox. I’ve played Playstation my whole life and I’m absolutely floored by how similar it is and the ease of use for beginners. Gameplay also looks spectacular

    I bought the Xbox series s for both my son & daughter for Christmas last year (2021) my son love his Xbox my daughter doesn’t. I don’t like it neither I want to get the series x because all the games with the console is online. It says that the device has 512 gb but that’s a lie because my son doesn’t have a lot of games & already his storage is full. I wouldn’t really recommend but to each it’s own.

    Bought this for my husband for Christmas. I really didn't think I was gonna be able to find one in time but I'm grateful that best buy put protocols in place to make it harder for bots to grab them all before anyone else had a chance. My husband loves it and has no complaints so far.

    This thing is a great bit of fun along side the ps5 and my gaming pc. I really enjoy using this for gamepass stuff but i might be disappointment if it was my only system. Very similar graphics than the one x, more frames and faster load time but looks similar

    First Xbox ever and it works great. Getting in and out of games is fast and the controller is excellent. The user interface is a bit tricky to navigate, especially compared to Nintendo and PlayStation. Overall it is solid for gaming and I would definitely recommend picking one up.
