    Great little gaming box. It's mind blowing how well this thing runs games and still puts out good graphics. I also own a Series X and I have no problem playing on the Series S without wishing I was on the X. If I'm not playing something that needs high frame rates I go for the S. It uses as much electricity running a game as the X uses just sitting on the dashboard! I get why they left a disc drive out, but it would be great to have one on the S, just for the sake of being able to buy games second hand. But that's literally my only con.

If you can get this get it!!!

    Overall a great console to play! I’m not that much of a disk person and I didn’t want to pay the extra 200 dollars for the series x. so the series s was the next best thing it’s loading time are god-like the performance and FPS is crazy for the price. And the design of the console is comfortable and tidy it’s practically invisible! I’d say the series S is perfect for a guy on a budget.

    Love it! Glad I was able to finally get one. Though it’s not the one I would like to have. I am very happy with my purchase! Everything works amazingly well! if you don’t have physical games & you love getting all of them digitally this is the move. Until you’re able to get the series x

    I can’t believe I waited a whole year without a next gen system like this the switch lite is cool but this just takes it to another level I have had both Xbox one an ps4 an this Series S is on a different level than both I definitely suggest if your looking for a next gen system this is the way to go if you don’t want to be overpriced by PS5 an Series X Vaulters…

    Product has been awesome and I'm thrilled to see the improvements to my Xbox One S. I got this as a replacement and was amazed by the quick load times and the quick resume feature. The fact that all of my accessories and digital games also work made it easy on my wallet. Too bad that none of my discs will work, but I haven't bought a disc in three years so I don't think I'll miss those games.
