    Best overall investment (9.6/10)

    The Series S has been my best investment in a console, coming from the Xbox one (2014) I was able to see a HUGE graphical and processing power difference. Games load insanely fast, the frame rate is smooth and never feels choppy like the last gen console. I play a lot of games like Modern Warfare, Battelfield 2042, GTA V, and Forza Motorsport. Having played all of them on the original Xbox One it’s actually quite nice to see these games through a new scope of color (HDR) and sound (Dolby), I feel more immersed into the scenes and appreciate the detail Microsoft put into making the Series S capable of making games enjoyable at a budget that I’m sure anyone can agree is worth the money. Also the small size makes it so easy to put anywhere in my house or put in my bag to take with me to a friend’s/family’s house and easily connect with just two cords. I love how quiet the console actually is, my old one sounded more like a jet engine whenever I turn it on or run triple A games, but this Series S reminds me more of a Tesla with its efficiency and zero noise running just about anything. I have no complaints with this console at all other than that the storage space could’ve been slightly improved, but I bought a external SSD which solved my storage issue, I have about 40 games which need a lot of space. But for the average person it has enough space for around 5-6 large games, but honestly with how fast games download you probably wouldn’t care if you had to delete one and download another in under 15 minutes haha. But yes I give the Series S a 9.6/10 in my personal opinion, if it wasn’t for the storage it would’ve been a perfect 10, but other than that I love it! Hope this helps anyone who wants to switch over to next gen if you haven’t already or planning on buying for someone else!

    Make gaming simple again!!

    Greatest console I've ever gotten. Let me say I've had Playstations for years but becane dissatisfied with what's going on lately. Their digital catalogs is very small. There were lots of great games on the PS but you can't really find any of them on the PS network. They killed the backwards compatibility so you have to hold on to your older systems and jump from ps2 or ps3 or ps4 etc. This was very annoying. I researched the Xbox and they've maintained their backwards compatibility plus their gamepass is way better than PSnetwork plus the pricing for evrything console and gamepass is way cheaper than the PS setup. The Xbox series S is really a one stop gaming machine. The graphics are great and the system runs smoothly. I really like the quick start feature you could pick up right where you left off at in a game. I love the design, the unit is small simple and portable. I could break it down an stuff it in my bookbag no problem. Plus i don't need to travel with any physical games. I bought a 2T seagate hhd for about $50 for extra storage is small plug and play no issues with load time at all.

    Great gaming experience!

    The Microsoft Xbox Series S is a fantastic addition to my gaming world, especially for those who prefer a disc-free gaming experience. The console's compact design and sleek white color make it a visually appealing addition to any entertainment setup. One of the standout features of the Xbox Series S is its all-digital nature, which means you can download and play games directly from the Microsoft Store without the need for physical discs. This not only saves space but also offers convenience as you can quickly access your gaming library with just a few clicks. The 512 GB of storage is adequate for storing several games, but if you're an avid gamer with a large collection, you might want to consider external storage options to expand the capacity. The console's performance is impressive, delivering smooth gameplay and faster loading times compared to previous Xbox models. The Xbox Series S supports up to 1440p resolution, providing crisp and clear visuals for most modern displays. While it might not match the graphical prowess of its big brother, the Xbox Series X, it still delivers a great gaming experience. The controller that comes with the console is the familiar Xbox Wireless Controller, which is comfortable to hold and responsive during gameplay. Additionally, the Xbox Series S is backward compatible, allowing you to play a vast library of Xbox One, Xbox 360, and even some original Xbox games, which adds tremendous value to the overall gaming experience. One of the major advantages of this console is its competitive pricing. As a budget-friendly option, the Xbox Series S offers excellent value for gamers who don't necessarily require 4K gaming but still want to enjoy the latest titles with impressive performance. In conclusion, the Microsoft Xbox Series S 512 GB All-Digital - Holiday Console - White is a compelling choice for gamers seeking an affordable and disc-free gaming solution. With its smooth performance, vast library of games, and backward compatibility, it's a great addition to your gaming setup. Whether you're a casual gamer or a more seasoned player, the Xbox Series S delivers on its promise of an enjoyable gaming experience.

    Best new console purchase I've ever made

    Best console that I've ever purchased. I was not planning on purchasing this console when I walked into Best Buy but I had $200 left over after making a phone purchase that I initially planned on spending a $1000 on but had $200 left over and the series was on sale for 250 with a 512GB solid state drive so it was such a great deal that I ended up buying the console. I do not have a PS5 or Xbox series X, so I cannot compare it to the other 2 consoles, but as far this console goes, it is truly amazing. The only downside is that it's advertised as having 512 gigabytes of storage but with the system Software that is stored on their, you end up with only 364 gigs, so if storage is an issue, I would definitely go with a xbox series X or a playstation 5 with a terabyte of storage Because if you buy an expansion card, the cost of the memory card plus the console will total up to the cost of a xbox series X or a ps5.

Questions & Answers

  • What is the difference between the Xbox series s and series x?

    There are quite a few differences between the Series S and Series X, but the main differences are that the X has a Blu-Ray drive whereas the S does not, and the X has a larger internal storage drive. This means that you can load games off of disc onto an X, but not onto an S. The larger internal storage lets you store more games without having to erase and redownload them.

  • Whats the difference between the "holiday console" and the standard series s?

    I believe the only difference is the box it comes in looks a little different. Haven’t noticed a difference in the console itself between the regular and ‘holiday edition’.
