    [Employee of bestbuy] Excellent device for the price. For those competitive gamers out there - it hits the high refresh rate at 1080p. Most modern gaming desktops are gunna be $1100+ for something that the $299 series S can do. Kinda crazy if you ask me.

    Series X makes sense if you want the 4k visual experience but if you are like me and like good, smooth game play over super high res than its an easy choice to save some money and get this instead. I don't keep a lot of games on the console either so 512Gb is enough for me and I really like the small size. Only con would be, I wish it came in black.

    Got this Series S for my friend. He got old waiting on Playstation 5 never in stock. This unit is inferior to the Series X but offer great value for those willing to play using gamepass at nearly a fraction of the cost. 300 for the unit and close to 14 dollars a month for the service you get to install any game that call your attention . No brainer.

    Ever play with someone and are tired of their slow Xbox taking forever to load a game and the whole team has to wait? Yeah we solved that problem and just sent with the weakest link an upgrade so we don’t have to keep waiting for him. Its wonderful. We changed his life.

    I haven't bought a recent console for the last couple of generations. I finally pulled the trigger and really happy with the series s. It's great for casual gamers and people who are just getting back into gaming. The lower price tag also makes it more affordable and a great way to get the latest games. Also Xbox game pass is amazing
