    I was skeptical about purchasing this product at first because I already own a Xbox one. However, I recently purchased a new 4K television and the Xbox S compliments any 4K TV perfectly. While the picture quality on the Xbox S is amazing, there are also different features and layouts which make the console easier to use.

    I have owned every xbox that came out including the new Xbox One X and wanted to give my nephews something that I know they will play for awhile and provides a fair amount of games for kids and adults. Love the dashboard for quick navigation and very reliable speed. Powerful console and great graphics.

    I had been debating getting an Xbox One to upgrade my old and outdated Xbox360 for some time, but wasn't sure I wanted to spend $300 (or $250, when that was the sale price for the S), nor did I like the selection of games included in any of the bundles. In fact, I wasn't really interested in a bundle at all; all I really wanted was a console by itself, and was somewhat frustrated that there weren't any options to do just that (at least if I wanted it new, anyway). I was very happy to see in Best Buy's Black Friday deals, then, that not only was Microsoft releasing a 500GB standalone console, no bundle need apply, but at the limited time offer price of just $189; a total steal as far as I am concerned. I picked it up at my local Best Buy two weeks ago, and have been having a total blast playing on it. Definitely would recommend this for anyone looking for an affordable next-gen console, who isn't interested in or doesn't mind not getting a game bundle.

    I had an original Xbox one and it was hard to get another one because I loved my Xbox one. But the Xbox One s is great and runs so smooth. I haven’t had a problem with it and it’s great looking. Going from a white Xbox 360 to a black Xbox one. It’s cool to be back again with a white Xbox. It’s looks great and fits in anywhere you put it.

    Purchased this for my Husband who plays from time to time. Memory cannot really store more than 4 games but since my husband plays the games until he finishes them and then erases them this works out, plus you can beat the price. Great Console!

    I wanted to upgrade from the original Xbox one because this new Xbox one s is smaller and supports 4K. This Xbox matched up with a 4K tv the graphics are amazing. Not as great compared to the Xbox one X but who has $500 to pay for an Xbox ?

    Pretty decent, a better design than the original xbox one, i like that the power brick is internal the system is much smaller. I havent noticed much of a difference in picture quality even with a samsung 4k tv but overall its nice.

    I gave this Xbox One S console as a Christmas gift to my fiance and I must say it is the nicest Xbox that Microsoft came out with. The controller feels better comparing it to a 360 controller and the console itself looks sleek.

    This is a great console for the price. Had good games and most importantly plays 4k UDH movies which the PS4 nor the PS4 pro does. Of course not as powerful as the PS4 pro nor the Xbox x. But for the casual gamer this is great and for the movie lover the movies don't look any better. One thing make sure you have a 4k tv to take advantage of the 4k player

    Bought this X-Box at the store for black friday weekend and it’s a excellent console. Plays not only 4K movies but also 3D movies! The graphics are even better than PS4 on video games! Highly recommended!

    I was looking to get a PS4 that midnight on Thursday of Black Friday and to test my luck, but the $ 199 PS4 offer were obviously gone in a blink of an eye. I saw the next price available for PS4 at $ 299 which it was a bundle. After going around I saw this XBOX ONE S, 4k Quality and then it hit me : Why the heck will I spend money on a PS4 at $ 299 non 4K when I can actually just switch for the first time to microsoft and get the amazing XBOX ONE S with 4K quality and much more !!! Couldn't resist the amazing cheap price of $ 189 and so I took it and got the amazing and brand new FIFA 18 game !!!! BEST PURCHASE EVER AND WORTH SWITCHING FROM PLAY STATION TO XBOX !!!!!! Cheers everyone !!!!!!!!

    This was a Christmas present for my brother in law. He already has a PS4 Pro, but wanted Xbox for some of the Xbox exclusives games. With Black Friday sale for 179 it was hard to pass on it.

    this is a stepping stone between the xbone and xbox one X and it is worth it. like the smaller design. might not be the X but still packs a powerful punch! 4k looks great!

    We purchased this as a replacement for our old Xbox One. It was much simpler to set up, and also much quicker. Loading games was easier, but that could be because we knew what we're doing now. Much slimmer machine and no more brick of a power supply...BIG PLUS! Also puts out much less heat.

    I have always been a PS4 gamer. I wasn't going to get an Xbox One, but I could not refuse because of the price. Got it, played it, loved it! If it hasn't been for the $190 Xbox One, I never would have known it was this good.

    Has amazing graphics and that not even on 4k! Easy to uae and figure out, great price on black friday, would have given 5 stars if it came with any kind of intro game and didnt have to buy a 2nd conroller seperately. Overall pretty happy with the overall product this far.
