    Small and lightweight but packs the punch of any Xbox. My travel Xbox. Easy to carry and pack. Great for on the go trips or vacations. Not a lot of memory but good for the casual gamer, not looking to have a library of games.

    HIGHLY recomened this console. I purchaced a PS5 becuase I am a playstation fanboy. I got bored of it a month later. I bought this xbox since its half the price and i wanted to try out Forza 5. I have been glued to Xbox since. Gamepass is a must if you purchace the xbox. There are thousands of actually good games available. I recomend getting some sott of expansion with this since you dont get that much storage.

    The Series S is a solid choice, especially if you don't have a lot of space. It's small, has enough internal storage,and even if you run out of that, you can still get expandable memory drives. Game Pass has a cloud gaming feature as well, so a ton of storage space is not a major requirement anyway. Great budget buy. Would totally get another.

    I have a PS5 but wanted to get back in the Xbox ecosystem. This is the perfect way to do it at a better price than the Series X. I had the X as well but took it back and decided to keep this console instead. Perfect for the man cave and I the PS5 and a gaming laptop if I need to game at a higher resolution. Also, this is a great console to use with the dev app, boot in to dev mode and have some fun testing or maybe even create apps!
