    The item is perfect. Worth the wait and hype. My only complaint is the grip on the controller is like polka dots and feels like sandpaper. I'm looking into alternative grips for it. Other than that this thing and accompanying controller are so much fun and so fast. I def. recommend getting extra storage as I have 4 games and almost filled my space.

    Excellent little console. While it may not have the power of it's bigger brother or the PS5, this guy punches far above its weight class. Quick loading times and solid picture quality for most games. The small size form factor is also a bonus, if you take business trips, this will fit in your backpack.

    Microsoft His Another Home Run

    A fantastic console for those who don't wish to be burdened with keeping track of disks and risking damaging them. With Game Pass Ultimate being the best value around, it's a no brainer. The Series X isn't available anywhere, so if you can find a Series S you HAVE TO buy it. Such a great value. Microsoft hit another home run.

    Great console for 1080p 1440p gaming, not great for 4K, should definitely have more storage in 2022, overall it’s a great value.

    I'm an Xbox guy since the beginning. This new xbox series s has met all my expectations. The speed which it loads games have significantly improved. I only download my games and stream my movies, so the lack of a dvd/blu-ray drive doesn't bother me. Perfect gaming console for streaming and use with xbox gamepass ultimate. I highly recommend.

    Upgrade from 360

    Updates from old XBox 360. So this was for me a more affordable option than the X. I don’t need the discs, the monthly Xbox premium is nice but I could do with the gold I believe. It’s just as the old Xbox just with better graphics and the occasional glitch-I’m pretty much only playing sports games.
