Although I bought it at a higher value than normal retail. The console arrived in perfect condition. The box had no dents and was not opened. If you are looking for a quick way to get your hands on one of these consoles this is the right place to get one. It also arrived at the scheduled time. Overall had a great experience with the company.

I love it! I paid for the next day shipping as well. Got here July 2nd. I’m usally a PlayStation guy and was not really going to get an Xbox but I got tired of waiting on a “next gen” console even though I have a gaming PC, but so far this console has been amazing and even though less powerful than its older brother it still a powerhouse everything has been a blast so far faster load times 4K scaling if you have the TV to support it I mean you can’t go wrong for a 300 price tag of a system I’ll eventually get a PS5 and a Series X when they become more available.

I’ve had trouble with it after updating the Series S and playing a couple games of Apex. Then it over heated because it wasn’t exposed enough. Now it’s staying on after I switched to a older HDMI cable. I really hope this isn’t going to be a issue. Any idea of what could made it restart like that.

A very great budget next-gen console that is good enough to play some next and current-gen on but if you're planning to play a lot of next-gen games, this one should last you to more games are released next year. It might even be good to hold you for a year. I think once more games come out next fall, you'll need to upgrade and maybe keep this one in the living room.

i like everything about the Series S its small enough to travel with, can fit in some places that other consoles cant ive had mine for a month and still am loving it. I Recommend this console for anyone that has a budget i bought this in store not online.

I was skeptical about ordering from this retailer but everything is here and is working great! And it also came early! To anyone else that might find this review in the future, everything is great the process was simple and easy and advertised as truthfully! I recommend personally. But always do your research before you order! Have a great day everyone!

The Xbox Series S is a great budget gaming console that will run plenty of games at 1080p, 120fps and even more at 1080p 60fps. There are a few games that run at 1440p 30 or 60fps as well. The main issue with this console is that when it's running games at high framerates, it suffers from terrible dynamic resolution scaling issues. I have my Series S sitting in a way that maximizes airflow in a nicely air conditioned room (68F at all times) and regardless, any game that is even moderately new (CoD MW, Halo MCC, Halo 5, Battlefield V, Battlefield 1, Forza Horizon 4, Gears of War, etc) will struggle to maintain 1080p. Even when you dial back the refresh rate from 120 to 60, many games will become incredibly pixelated or blurry. The worst offender by far is Modern Warfare/Warzone. Player models, particle effects, and shadows become a pixelated, aliased mess at more than about 30m distance which causes terrible issues with visibility in multiplayer. Considering you'll end up spending around $100 more than MSRP for this thing and still getting what in my opinion is Xbox One S visuals but at 120fps, and only 120fps on games that are specifically supported on the Series S, I would say the smart play is to just wait until the Series X is in stock. RocketDrop did a good job with shipping. The console showed up well ahead of schedule and was not a "refurbished" console. It came in its original packaging and with all the standard peripherals. These include a controller, batteries, console, power cable and an HDMI 2.1 cable. There is no USB-C cable included to charge the controller, and no headset. Keep this in mind when purchasing this generation of console. Microsoft and Sony both would rather you buy one of their "officially licensed" headsets than ship a cheap one with the console. Also, as mentioned above, you will be overcharged for this. The way RocketDrop makes their money is by charging an absolute fortune for shipping so they can turn a profit on sales of these brand new consoles. The age of MSRP vs store price has reached the console world. Don't expect to pay $299 and just be done with it. Shipping and taxes totaled about $100. Buy this console as a gift for someone who is an Xbox fan but doesn't care too much about graphics. It's still better than a One S.

The console was shipped and delivered three days earlier than expected and was in a brand new condition. The box was dirty because UPS did not tape the shipping box correctly but other than that it had no issues. The console itself you can tell has never been used, and the overall experience with this seller has been great.

It's a solid piece of hardware that is $100-200 cheaper than any other next-gen console available. It is better than the Xbox one x, yet not quite as powerful as the series x. It plays next-gen as well as previous-gen games with perfect performance, the only real difference between this console and the PS5 or XSX in most games is the image quality, yet the XSS image quality still looks very good. My only real complaint is that the controller can be a bit of a hassle to clean sometimes, and I've experienced a couple of crashes while playing some Xbox one games, but that might just be software issues.

Absolutely a game changer theres not alot to say but Amazing.The graphics and load times are by far faster than any previous generatin console....Yes also faster than PS4 and better graphics. I been PS guy my whole life wife bought this and PS4 is a backup console now,lol. If and when i get PS5 id be glad to share comparison but BUY it if can find it XBOX S is the real deal 4k scaling is great. Get this console over any 500$ Ps5 save 200$ this is not just starter console im a gamer and this has all the power you need.
