    I bought the system home and set it up in minutes using my cell phone and an App. It is a great gaming system for the family!

    A next generation console for just 300$ is astonishing, especially taking into account the performance and improved graphics. I was able to fit about 15 games about it. I'm fine with the small storage space, as I usually just play a set of specific games, though I downloaded some more so I could try them out and see how they look on the Series S. I can't wait to see how Overwatch 2 looks on this. The design is sleek and it's incredibly compact, taking up almost no space.

    This is a great modern console as it is very compact and also has amazing specs compared to the xbox 1 x and s. The only down side is that official memory cards are 200 dollars and there is only 300 gb of usable storage, and sunce this is a digital only console you’re going to run out of storage very fast. Although there is a temporary solution. External hard drives, even though they work for games not optomized for the x and s, games that are optomized for the x and s have to be downloaded to the oficial storage card or internal hard drive

    Our boys were super excited to receive this for Christmas! I didn't want to deal with the hassle of discs so we went with the Series S. So far no regrets with that. The console was easy to set up and works like a charm. The graphics on the games are excellent. The only regret is that we didn't buy one for each kid! :)

    Excellent console. Might not be as powerful as the big brother X but plenty for a part time gamer like myself. Have it paired with an LG C9 and both deliver.

    It was cool best buy had this in stock when no one else could for more than 30 minutes but I returned it as game stop had a fresh stock of the series x under the all access bundle exclusively which meant scalpers couldn't out stock it, I plan on getting one of these later on though as the series xbox's play games smoother than anything else I've played and my pc has rdna1 specs, 4k is absolutely optional, just get a 120 display and get the all access bundle because it discounts gamepass for buying in bulk and the first week you will have over 500$ in games played :)

    This is the best next generation gaming system for money and let me tell you why. First and foremost this is amazing gameplay in a small form factor. When you’re playing COD Cold War multiplayer m you’re not going to really care so much about the ray tracing as much as the overall smoothness of the game as well as the fun factor. Additional because it’s a small device you can bring it along with you in a Gaems suitcase so you can play it on travel. I may get an Xbox Series X for home and Xbox Series S for when I travel. So when we play and I progressed in the Series S it reflects on the X as well!

    Great Console - Only Problem is Storage

    I purchased this item worried that it wouldn't run much faster than my Xbox One and be exponentially slower than the Series X, but I was very wrong! The Series S runs quickly, still looks great on my monitor, and is a fraction of the cost! One big downside is the lack of storage space. I can hold maybe 3 games downloaded at a time on my Xbox. This issue, however, is mitigated by buying the SeaGate external hard drive where you can then have 2.5 TB of storage - over twice that of the Series X - and still >$100 less than the stock Series X.

    Very good design and controller. Crisp movement and the remote play was almost seemless. Combined with game pass, this is the ultimate entry level next gen console. I will be getting the x for the 4k/120 but I'll hate to let this go.

    Love this little console. Bought it to tide me over until I could land a Series X. Been using it to play gamepass games since there’s no disc drive. Plays most games at 1080p 60 FPS. Not as good as a PC or the series X but it’s good enough. The 512 GB SSD is a weakness for the console. After the operating system for the Xbox is accounted for, you get like 350ish GB leftover. An external HDD or one of those SSD expansion cards are definitely recommended in an era where games are routinely 100GB or larger.

    I purchased this for my son’s birthday, but my wife had already purchased the same product from Best Buy. I was able to return the Xbox to my local Best Buy and while I was a day or two late to do so, the customer service reps gladly helped me with the return! Great associates, very helpful, and very kind! Best Buy is a great business!

    Snagged this day one as I was not able to get a xbox series x and was still gaming on my 1440p monitor with my pc. I wanted an xbox to play things that I couldn't on pc and games that I prefer to play on console. The packaging was really nice and the console is very small, doesn't take up alot of desk space which was great. I was really impressed with the load times for this console and was able to get 120hz at 1440p with a few games. I ended up getting a 4k tv with hdmi 2.1 and an xbox x so returned this. I would highly recommend this console for this gaming on a 1080p or 1440p screen!

    I’ll say this swiftly, the Series S with the game pass is the best bang for your buck compared to all next gen console deals so far out.
