    This series s is nothing short of amazing what it offers for the price. A very small sleek well made powerhouse of a console for only $299, You will have a hard time noticing any difference in graphics or gameplay between this series s compared to the series x or PlayStation 5. I own all three and I’m telling you if this is the only console you own your good. If you have a 4K tv it will upscale games to 4K as well. The console being all digital is not a problem for me as most disc games make you download huge files before even play anyway. And with gamepass you get so many free games to play you be busy a long time. Grab this console it will surprise you.

    I've used my original Xbox One as my secondary console for over 6 years now and it's been a Halo/Gears/Forza machine. I picked up a PS5 a few months ago and absolutely loved the console. Well I decided to give Xbox another chance decided to pick up the less powerful Series S. I'm so glad I made that decision because my PS5 has been collecting dust since picking up my series. I've been addicted to playing Forza and all my friends on PC are able to play some Halo with me thanks to cross-play. People will preach Gamepass over and over and I can't agree more. It's an absolute must if you're considering picking up an Xbox. The ONLY reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because I sadly had to return the first Xbox Series S. I originally set up my series S and noticed something was wrong when I tried navigating the system. The up button on the D-Pad started to stick and the console became unusable essentially. Went to Best Buy to return it and luckily they were able to just switch it out for a new controller. Instead of having to order a new console altogether. Overall I highly recommend this console and hopefully, you don't deal with the defect I did.

    I was skeptical coming from a PC. But honestly the performance and convenience is awesome. The quick resume is amazing and storage can be expanded with an external drive.

    This is a great video gaming and entertainment system. The Microsoft Xbox game pass is a must. There are a variety of games offered thought the game pass subscription service.

    I’m glad I decided to go with the series S rather the the series X, I had purchased a PS5 and was able to save money with this product. The series S with game pass is a great value!

    I use this as a secondary Xbox Series Console, since it fits nicely on my desk in my office, and works perfectly for streaming and backup gameplay when I am unable to use the Series X.
