Microsoft - Xbox Series S 512 GB All-Digital Console (Disc-free Gaming) - White

After playing on my Xbox Series S for a month now I can say I am happy with this little beast console ! This console can play new Xbox One and old Xbox 360 games if it's backwards compatible. The fast load times are amazing on current Xbox games and the increase frame rates are also very much welcomed. I redownloaded alot of past games just to try out how it stacks against my old Xbox One X there just no comparison to how stable it is plus most games are getting a X/S upgrade to take advantage of the new hardware. Then comes the downside to the Series S the internal hard drive only 346 GB is just way too small to build a library of games. You will constantly be deleting/reinstalling and good luck with updates. Sure you can fix this with buying a external hard drive but gotta sacrifice that fast load time or even the pricy $219 SSD just to maintain that fast load time for only 1 TB. If you can get past the small storage space then I would highly recommend you pick up a Xbox Series S to play your current games/older games at higher speeds or framerate but if your wanting bigger space and more graphical enhances of the new games coming down the line then get a Xbox Series X.

I really wanted to get the X series i tried so hard and this one was available so i grabbed it with no expectations. This little thing is powerful looks sweet and plays amazing. I have a 1440 monitor so this ended up being a great purchase. Only bad thing is how hard these new systems are to get and only being digital you can't buy games at the store anymore. Gamepass is amazing also and perfect for this machine

Even though, there's hype around the Series X and PS5 about the powerful internals. I enjoy having the Series S... I'm impressed of how small it is. And its more than capable of playing next generation games. As of now, I've been playing 2K21 Next Generation. If those who don't care about 4K gaming and don't have a ton of games they play on a regular, then I most certainly recommend the Series S.

Just picked it up today. Iam writing this review to help out people. Don’t be to worried about the storage. If you had an External hard drive. From your old console. It will work on this system. Your old games that are not x/s up grades will still play from the hard drive you have. Games that are up graded put on the internal hard drive. The console is very small but powerful. Super quiet. Iam coming for the Xbox one s. This new system downloads games super fast and loads way faster then the other. For people that play destiny load took forever. Not with this system. Iam playing on 1080p monitor. And games look so much better. Hope this helps people. Glad I upgraded to this system.

So i was lucky and randomly i was on best buys website and i was able to check out with one inn very early January. now i wanted the X & still want the X but im very surprised what this machine can do for the time being! i also bought the 49'' Lg Nano cell tv & can run call of duty and other games at 1440p @120hz. i am thrilled & so happy. This is performing just as good, if not better then my Alienware desktop with a rtx 2070!! Wish it had a bigger SSD tho!!

I was not expecting to like this console as much as I do. After receiving my PS5 on launch day, the last thing I ever thought I would need is another next-gen console. I will say that if I didn't have the PS5, I would have probably opted for a Series X, but in that I have high-performance gaming already with my PlayStation, this astoundingly compact console fills a real great space that the PS5 can't necessarily offer. My new house was built with frustratingly few cable jacks, and I still have traditional landline cable, so the ability to use this as a Spectrum receiver in my theater room is great. The load times are amazingly fast, and honestly the resolution downgrade from the true 4K Series X/PS5 is minimal, even on my 110" screen. The best part is the fact that I can seamlessly continue a game started on my Xbox One S downstairs and pick up right where I left off with my Series S upstairs. Also, Game Pass is far and away the best deal that exists in all of gaming - I was able to trade in 3 Xbox One games I had purchased because all of those titles were now available on Game Pass Ultimate. If you want a second console, if you don't care about a disc drive or the highest resolution, or if you want to save some money, this is an outstanding option.

It’s very small it does seem to get kind of warm everything does load super fast and you can use an external hard drive as well I’m pretty happy with my purchase I went from an original Xbox one to this so I’m happy and I think it’s a great purchase if you’re not looking to spend a fortune and you want something quality. It is very small and my picture I put a lip balm on top of it so you can see just how small it really is. It barely takes up space I can have it right next to my switch just not too close because it does get very hot. I’m happy with my purchase

Although this has half the storage and less graphical firepower then it’s big brother, this is still a great next gen experience at a compelling value. The core of this value proposition is Xbox Gamepass- for (at the time of this writing) about 15 bucks a month, you get access to a Neflix-like library of curated titles, many of which are Series X/S versions. Even as a guy who didn’t even bother with the last generation of Xbox consoles this is hard to pass up-couple that with next generation loading and quick resume with it’s M.2 solid state hard drive, enhanced visuals over Xbox One X, and 4K streaming with all the popular video apps; this console would make a fantastic compliment to a PS5 or a great value to someone who doesn’t own a 4K display or care about having the latest visual bells and whistles. Now if you don’t have a decent internet connection, I probably wouldn’t recommend this as all it’s content comes from online as it has no disc drive. Otherwise, I’d pull the trigger on this- it’s way easier to find then the PS5 or Series X at the moment.
