    I bought the Xbox series s for both my son & daughter for Christmas last year (2021) my son love his Xbox my daughter doesn’t. I don’t like it neither I want to get the series x because all the games with the console is online. It says that the device has 512 gb but that’s a lie because my son doesn’t have a lot of games & already his storage is full. I wouldn’t really recommend but to each it’s own.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    This is my first ever Xbox. I’ve played Playstation my whole life and I’m absolutely floored by how similar it is and the ease of use for beginners. Gameplay also looks spectacular

    Bought this for my husband for Christmas. I really didn't think I was gonna be able to find one in time but I'm grateful that best buy put protocols in place to make it harder for bots to grab them all before anyone else had a chance. My husband loves it and has no complaints so far.

    This thing is a great bit of fun along side the ps5 and my gaming pc. I really enjoy using this for gamepass stuff but i might be disappointment if it was my only system. Very similar graphics than the one x, more frames and faster load time but looks similar

    First Xbox ever and it works great. Getting in and out of games is fast and the controller is excellent. The user interface is a bit tricky to navigate, especially compared to Nintendo and PlayStation. Overall it is solid for gaming and I would definitely recommend picking one up.

    Very happy with my new system, I was going to wait for the X model but my older system stop working, so I have to go with the S, but very happy I have a external memory from my previous console and all my games were there already, so was a plug and play, and I save some money

    Coming from the original xbox one this was the only next gen console I was able to pre order and I'm not disappointed. It looks great loads games very fast and runs very quietly can't even hear it to be honest. Very satisfied with it and don't plan on getting an X for a while if at all.

    The Series S is a game changer in everything equipped. Im purchasing a expansion card cause im gonna keep this for sure. The graphics and even the controllers feels great and powerful. Glad i got the drop today. Truly an amazing experience thus far. Better than PS5

    If all you're looking for is a gaming machine that comes ready to install hundreds of quality games via gamepass, and aren't overly concerned with 4k resolution the Series S is unbeatable in it's value. My only real criticism is the lack of storage space for an only digital device.
