Xbox Series S – Fortnite & Rocket League Bundle

Honestly, i think the Series S is a superb/great console.Only two cons, cost of external plug-in drive to overcome seriously ludicrous limited memory capacity (no excuse for not having 1TB in S and 2TB in X in modern day) AND its gameplay speed (Series S n Series X) is really not THAT much better than xbox one x.Aside from faster load times, I really dont see a major difference in performance in series s and an ssd equipped one x. Xbox series x is also not all that without 4k tv n, even with the fancy new tv, its really not that super-impressive. If i had it to do over again, aside from the series x as a surprise gift, i’d have been happy with the Series S and 1tb plug-in drive. Seagate, i think?BUT, aside from moderately faster load times, without games written specifically for these 2 new console iterations, just put an ssd in your xbox one x and keep running it until you HAVE to change up. Maybe the plug in ssd will be more affordable then and id say do that with a series s n enjoy it.To do it again? Id just keep jamming w my one x with high speed ssd. Unfortunately, im prolly giving mine to one of my Destiny clanmates who seriously needs a new console. He sherpas lfg alot of people (looking for game) through raids (like me n i super suck) so its a good cause.I'm on an xbox series x which i got from my sister as a surprise gift. Between series S and X? I’d go with Series S and 1tb expansion card n give my one x to my clanmate. Save the stress n cash n skip the Series X. Use that cash to get a 20th Anniversary or Series 2 Elite Controller to go with your new sweet Series S. Or, put it towards the memory expansion card.Since I've played all 3 n switched back n forth over the last month, i thought I’d share my wisdom. Good luck with your decision n remember, as always, ymmv.

It came with everything as advertised and works perfectly. Have played a lot of games on it already :). If anyone that bought this is confused how to claim the bundles for Fortnite and Rocket League, they don’t come in a code. What you have to do is:1. Turn on the Xbox2. Sign into the profile you want the redeemed items to go onto, you can only do it one time so if you mess up there isn’t any going back.3. Go to Settings then go to General.4. Select Included with this Xbox (it should say something like that)5. Select claim on the Fortnite part of the bundle and the Rocket League part of the bundle.Then, all you gotta do is download Fortnite and Rocket Leagye and go on then the items should be in your locker/garage. If it doesn’t show up but you claimed it, completely restart your console. Don’t turn it off and turn it back on but actually go to where it says restart console and actually click it. That trick worked for me.

lets just start off by saying im true gamer in his 40's and owner of 4 xboxs a xbox 1x, Xbox series x, 2 series s, ps4, ps4 pro, ps5 and all 3 verions of the Nintendo switches plus older console. as for the series s i have one hooked to a 1440p 144hz monitor and it plays great at 120hz and it looks dam good. the other is on a 4k 75hz monitor and again it plays and loooks great. if u have the money to spare get one even if u have ps5 already its cheap price well built and with game pass its just completes it or without it still does. the smart delivery system is top notch works flawlessly and have alot of great games to play. plus after Microsoft brought Bethsaida Bethesda maker of fallout doom elder scrolll and alot more plus the recent purchase of activision all their games call of duty starfirld and many more will only be on xbox. honestly everyone should have one of these in their house

I think you're a serious gamer this probably isn't the console for you. The series x or PS5 have more power and can run more games at a higher frame rate and at 4k resolutions. With that being said the series s is mostly a gamepass access device. And I think for $300 it offers great value especially when paired with game pass give you access to hundreds of different games. As for performance it's still "next gen" and several games support 120 FPS. If you do have some old titles in your library for example Grand theft Auto V you can now play those at 60 FPS instead of the 30 the original Xbox One played at. I think in a few years this console will likely be outdated in terms of performance. that's just the nature of mid level hardware and the console product life cycle. However as mentioned $300 puts you at a great price point. And considering the alternatives are significantly over MSRP and PC gaming hardware essentially starts at $800 on the second hand market picking one of these up can be a great choice for gaming over the next few years! Also don't forget this is digital games only no DVDs so old Xbox games you may have purchase DVDs for cannot be played on this console. But games you have previously purchased digitally can be brought over to this console and be played no problem.

It came in the original box which was a little mangled and taped, but the console and controller were flawless. No issues and I am so happy to have saved more than $50. I bought for myself so the box condition wasn't an issue. The codes for Fortnite and Rocket League were unused. The games load so fast now! Happy with my purchase!Please Note: I brought over my external 2 TB hard drive I was using on my Xbox One S for storage. I have found that the newer Xbox Series X-S games will not install on the external hard drive due to the connection speed between the USB attached hard drive is not fast enough (the Xbox will flash a notification that you won't be able to play the game). With the Series S only having 512 GB of internal storage, I have already run out of space on my internal storage as I play mainly Grand Theft Auto V, Fallout 76, and Conan Exiles. So I will have to buy the Seagate Storage Expansion Card which will be another $150 plus. This is not a deal breaker, but I wanted to share.

came with everything it was perfect!!
