This Xbox One is phenomenal. It works perfectly. It loads quickly depending on your WiFi speeds. The only downside is the internal memory could be a bit more so you can DL and store more games without having to go out and spend $180 on external memory.

I ordered the Xbox Series S on Dec 15th thinking I would not get it until after Christmas. Details of the order said it would arrive by January 9th. I was bummed but understood the limited supply and it was a last-minute purchase. To my surprise, it showed up on Dec 20, and now my son will get an Xbox on Xmas morning and not a picture of it saying, "coming soon" :). Thank you, Walmart! Also, I have been impressed with the ease of the online purchase process and experience.

First, let me give you a little background: I've had PlayStations since PS1 and I'm not familiar with Xbox consoles. Currently, I own a PlayStation 5 and I'm happy with it. However, I wanted to explore Xbox exclusives and play some old games from all Xbox generations. I considered purchasing the Series X but they're out of stock at this moment (02/21/2022). Same for the PS5, which I had to follow some Twitter profiles to score one...I don't want to do that again. Then, it led me to purchase the Series S, which I give my review below. Controller: If you already own an Xbox, the controller will be virtually the same. If you own a PS4/5, expect a lighter controller, which feels more like a "toy", but very comfortable, responsive, and with the left stick in a more appropriate place. Graphics: Definitely new generation graphs! Although it natively runs at 1440p, it scales to 4k very well. Microsoft Flight Simulator is an incredible game with marvelous graphs. Impressive. Performance: It surprisingly runs smoothly in major AAA titles, such as Flight Simulator, Forza Horizon 5, and Gears 5. Games: The exclusives are great (Forza and Gears, more specifically), but the big difference here is the Game Pass Ultimate. A must. Go buy it. You gain access to a gigantic games library of games from Xbox (first gen.) to current AAA games. Sony is behind on this, no question. CONCLUSION: There are two scenarios in which this console is the best fit for you. 1- you're on a budget and want to enter the new generation of consoles. 2- you actually have the money to purchase the Series X but it's out of stock and you don't want to support scalpers. In both cases, go for it. You'll not be disappointed. The only scenario that the Series S is not for you is that you want the best performance you can get from a console in 2022. In this case, you'll have to make a big effort to find a PS5 or a Series X for the proper retail price (please, don't buy from scalpers, save yourself some money, and don't support this unethical market).

It was bad this holiday season. I scoured high and low looking for a new Xbox series x. I was fortunate to find this Xbox series s, and let me tell you that I am pleased beyond measure! I thought it was weird looking because of the color esthetic and the size of the unit, but its Perfect!!! For it to be digital only, having no disc drive was a lot to take in but its so worth it!!!

Perfect secondary system for the price, good for people who own gaming pcs. I love the ssd. This generation of xbox consoles actually compete with gaming pcs, which I haven't seen in over 7 years. The graphics on this console are stunning, but I am sure the Xbox Series X looks even better. For pc gamers, this console packs about the same graphics performance as an RTX 2060, while the Series X packs performance comparable to an RTX 2080. It costs $300 just for an RTX 2060 alone, which is why this is such a good deal.

Xbox looks great but paid $313 for just the Xbox didn't come with the cords to hook it up or a controller so I'm forced to drive to Walmart to spend more money when it should've came with these items... not to mention the package was delayed to 2 days later than what it was supposed to be

Load times for this are crazy fast. Ark used to take 5 minutes to load from start to spawn with the xbox one s. Now it is maybe 30 seconds. Graphics look much better even though i only have a 1080 tv. Very pleased with the product. NewEgg has a 5 terabyte usb drive for $98 that works great with the series s. Just keep the games labeled for series s or x on the system storage and keep the other older games not labeled for series s or x on the NewEgg usb storage device and it works great.

I understand that it says console only but it would be great to add the power cords and the basics you need to operate it in the box I was disappointed when I opened the box to just see the system looking back at me I had switched from PlayStation to this console and was disappointed that it didn’t have a controller luckily I had a power cord to fit it but pls add these necessities to the box for future consumers

Great value for money. If you like me don't have a 4k tv, but have a 1440p 144hz monitor this is the greatest. The only thing that really annoyed me about it is that you need a hdmi 2.1 connection on your monitor, and unless you got either an expensive or really new monitor it probably only has hdmi 2.0.

I bought the Xbox Series S out of frustration for not being able to find a PS5, the xbox exceeded all expectations! it's an excellent console with excellent services, my only complaint? Hard drive space, but the expansion port to expand on that is a little pricy but still a worthwhile additional buy.
