Great Xbox upgrade but not enough base storage
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm always going for the best Xbox and since the Series X is currently unattainable, I decided to get this in the meantime. I'm coming from the Project Scorpio so the resolution drop is noticeable for me, but this thing plays games way better with the higher frames. 1 star loss because of the on board 512gb memory, it's 2021 and games are huge.

Posted .Hi there,
We're glad that you're enjoying your new Xbox Series S. If you're running low on storage, you have a couple of options. The best solution is to invest in the Seagate SSD 1TB Expansion Card for Xbox Series X/S, which will add 1TB of SSD storage to your console. For more information, go here: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/seagate-storage-expansion-card-for-xbox-series-xs-1tb-solid-state-drive-nvme-expansion-ssd-for-xbox-series-xs/6425015.p?skuId=6425015
Another solution is to add a standard external hard drive, which can be used to store and play Xbox 360 and Xbox One games that have not been enhanced for Xbox Series X/S.
We hope you have a lot of fun with your Xbox.
Happy gaming,
Chuck

I would recommend this to a friendGreat console
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like the new Xbox series s. Definitely an upgrade graphics/speed wise from the Xbox one s. Only negative is the storage. I bought a 1TB memory card at $219 to make sure I had enough to fit all of my games on. Total for everything $520… could’ve just gotten the series x for that price. (Good luck finding them)

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It came in a box with lots of padding so it won’t move around. This is my first console and it’s awesome. It has pretty good graphics and it doesn’t glitch a lot. I would definitely recommend this to anyone.

Awesome.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Compact and powerful. I didn't own any xbox games on disc as I was upgrading from a PS4 so having a drive wasn't necessary. I bought a 2TB external HD to expand storage space and it's now it's perfect.

Wonderful little console
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the price this is unbeatable. PC that allows running games at similar quality will cost at least 2.5 times more. And take up 2.5 space. Wonderful little console

I would recommend this to a friendGamepass machine
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I sold it and got a Series X, this is great as a Gamepass machine. If you already have a huge physical library this is not for you. I have a large physical library that I like to go back to. I did love the Series S, but it wasn’t for me.
I would recommend this to a friendGood little console
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought because the series x is hard to find definely a improvement in speed compared to the xbox one has better visuals to but the storage could be better for games.

||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Still can’t understand why these were so hard to come by, but Best Buy did a better job than other stores of managing stock. Seems like a nice upgrade from an earlier generation model. Graphics are excellent.
