Came early than expected and decent package.. Great starter system.. if your a ps fan and can't get your hands on one right now try this system it is very good and with the game pass you don't need to buy games really you've access to around 350 games.. Great deal can't go wrong..

Fantastic gaming system that excels in areas its rival falls short. Based on the launch consoles only Microsoft comes out on top, starting with the more affordable price tag. The Xbox Series S at $300 is seriously insane value for what its capable of. More so than the PS5 Digital, which is solid in its own right but falls short of the Series S in a number of ways. Personally, I think the series S is more aesthetically pleasing than the series X with its design and size; it is surprisingly small and lightweight but still somehow stays totally silent during gameplay. There are many things to boast about this console and Microsoft, for paying attention to the community and giving the gamers what they really want. For the Sonybois: I couldnt care less if they were different before, what matters is how they are now. Microsoft has proved themselves for this generation while Sony fights against widely requested features like cross-play for nothing more than their own self-interests. The Xbox series S|X are the current best consoles on the market and Microsoft seems to focus on improving them constantly. Plus, GAME PASS. That should be enough of a reason to get Xbox considering your game pass applies to PC as well. Its no question in my mind, this is absolutely worth it (from someone that got all Microsoft and Sony consoles at launch) and you wont regret it when Halo comes out and teabagging returns to its former glory days.

I bought it as a gift for my son. I couldnt get any of the other systems, so I got this system. Im giving it a 4/5 only because I know I will need to buy memory soon. Other than that, its a pretty good system and very small compared to Other systems.

This console is a tiny beast of a machine. Don't let the small amount of storage discourage you from getting this if you buy games digitally, as you can store games on an external drive. You can store Series S/X enhanced titles on the external drive and then move it over to the internal SSD when ready to play the game. Another pro about the Series S is if the game is not a title that has the Series S/X patch on it, then you can play the game from the external drive, so if you had ones for your older Xbox One system, you can just use that with no need to format it if it was already formatted for Xbox and has games on it. If you do have to transfer a Series S/X game to the built-in SSD, or have to move it off the internal SSD to make room for a new game, it takes about a minute per 10GB to move content between storage mediums, so you can download once and then just worry about where the game is stored afterwards. Microsoft did a great job just making this an updated console, versus a brand new one with a new OS, so you don't have to learn new features, or worry about having to redownload a game again. Yes having new features is cool, but sometimes the simplicity of being able to plug in my old external drive into the console and having my game library that was downloaded onto it ready to go and being able to play the games is a major plus. Lets talk about the cooling and noise of the system. The system is really quiet and have yet to hear the fan at all, and you will feel warmth from the exhaust fan area, but nothing that would make you concerned and feels like the temp of a warm shower. If you can't find the Series X, and this is available, unless you absolutely need the disc drive, this will do what you need it to do, and saves you some $.

I received mine today 11-10-20 preordered in September shipping as promised i havent yet set it up but i recently had the Xbox one s so i know what To expect Im a Microsoft fan dont to much care for Sony the price was reasonable a great gift for my son

It's a nice system for the price. Just bear in mind that you will need a Xbox Gaming subscription. If you look around you can find deals on those subscriptions. Microsoft also has a family control options to limit how much time the kid(s) can spend on the device.

I was just like you guys at one point. Trying to see if the console was good or not. In my opinion, there is barely a difference from the Series x and s. So in all it is worth the money and you should 110%buy if you are trying to get a low budget console. Graphics are great and it only will take a week or week and a half to arrive at your front porch.

The console is good. If you are a casual gamer and just want to play some games to have fun with stupendous loading speeds and dont care about 4K. If you want to get lots of games get the series x. You are limited to a few games to download cause the storage is around 365 gb. I really dont care about 4K cause I dont have a 4K tv anyway. Just getting back to Xbox since the 360 so I dontnt really know if its better than the previous but its definitely better than my PS4. I got 3 months game pass for one dollar so I get to play all my 360 favorites.

its just an amazing console i've now had it for about 2 months honestly i like gaming on a lower resolution so i get more fps so im not mad that is 1440p it has pretty fast loading speeds my only problem with it is there is now disc drive so cant play my ol xbox 360 games other than that its a 10/10 and for $300 its worth it

streaming is bad with watching shows like youtube tv or Netflix takes a little time to load some things like settings or opening apps but its been on since received didn't get a game pass and it makes NO SOUNDS while operating and i have a newborn is thats perfect with playing games while they sleep all over i give the game console itself a 8.9 due to the streaming video's problems
