    Have had for almost 2 years. Still working great. My son loves this Xbox. The only downside is low storage but other than that it is an amazing product.

    I pleasantly surprised by the performance and graphics quality of this Series S. Got it at a great price after using my Best Buy rewards. Despite being 1440p, the resolution is an after thought at the distance we sit from our TV. The steady 60 fps makes a world of a difference. I’m loving this system more than I thought I would. We love our PlayStations and glad we now have an Xbox as well. Gaming heaven.

    Highly recommend it if you are new to gaming, only game every once in a while, a kid, or a teen! I have an external hard drive (HHD) hooked to it for extra storage:) Really simple to use. Can't go wrong if you don't like to get up to change out games. It's ALL digital. XBOX has deals on games all the time, so it's easy to go into the game shop and see if something cheap catches your eye or that certain game you've been wanting finally goes on sale! The controller batteries do not last long. I would recommend a battery pack or a docking charger! Mine only lasted less than a month.

    I bought this system just to test the xbox waters and it is so worth it just for gamepass alone. I have it paired up next to my ps5 and it is great to just have the option to play either or. Storage is definitely lacking but for the price point it is a great value and it doesnt cost much for an extended HDD. Very good value overall.

    Just What I Was Looking For

    I purchased this to replace an older larger xbox. The size of this unit is perfect with no large power brick. The hard drive is small, however, picked up a 4T and have loads of space. I can easily see the visual difference on this model over my older one. The load times are way down now. Great compact unit if your looking for a smaller unit that outperforms the older xbox this is the one.

    The best budget console on the market that can play all these next generation games. If you're only looking to play a handful of games this generation then this is a great box to help you keep up with modern gaming's demands and its hard to beat that price on any other device (be it PC or console).

    Great console! It Works well and no issues so far. Easy set up. The only downfall is I wish there was more on board memory. 512gb fills up fast, especially on a digital only console. Otherwise, no complaints so far.
