    Our boys were super excited to receive this for Christmas! I didn't want to deal with the hassle of discs so we went with the Series S. So far no regrets with that. The console was easy to set up and works like a charm. The graphics on the games are excellent. The only regret is that we didn't buy one for each kid! :)

    Xbox has come a long way! I got this as a gift for my partner last year and he still uses it every day. It makes streaming movies, watching tv, playing games, and other entertainment options a breeze.

    One of the best console so far. The load time is better and graphics are very good. I have to invest in a hard drive to store more games

    It was hard to find in stock, but I am happy with my purchase. I bundled with an extra controller and game pass for 3 months to receive a deal. I bought an additional 4T external harddrive to have more room to download games that I play. Was able to plug it in and the xbox register it. No issues with adding that storage. Set up for xbox was easy to understand. I already had an account. It is smaller than I thought it would be which is great for being able to set it up without taking up a ton of room on my Tv stand. No issues with the xbox so far.

    Bought it for my brother, he said the console is pretty good. You’re getting next gen spec for just 299. Its pretty small so it fits almost anywhere.

    Series S Review

    Very good console for the price of what it does. For $299 you are getting a pretty good next Gen console for that price with 120fps, and increased loading times than the Xbox One. The Quick Resume is a very handy feature so you can jump back into a game from another game from where you left off. If you are looking to get a Next Gen console and mostly play digital games, I would highly recommend the Xbox Series S. For the value of it, it does pretty well for most games. In conclusion this is a very good Next Gen Console.

    A great console for a reasonable price. I have been waiting to get my Series S for a couple months, but it has been sold out everywhere. I finally snagged it here, and received it within two days. The console itself is surprisingly small, but powerful. Runs everything from COD to Forza amazingly. Coming from a Xbox one to the Series S is a game changer for any casual play, who wants to have the option to really exceed in their gameplay. I would recommend it to anyone who is on the Market for a new Xbox.
