    I am very happy with my purchase. My new Xbox series S arrived a day early and setup was easy. My only gripe was how hard it is now to open the controller to put in batteries. I had to use a butter knife to open it. But it works perfectly. I would have loved to get an Xbox series X, but this is perfect.

    Not enough storage space comes with the console and the expansion is wildly overpriced. Should just wait for a series X to become available. It's too bad, it's a sleek little console. If I'm traveling somewhere where I may have down time, I can stuff it in a bag to bring along. But the lack of storage space limits it, especially when games can be 100 GB and this has just over 300 GB of actual storage.

    Purchased this for my bf for a gift. He’s so in love with it. Uses it almost everyday & can’t complain about him being on the game if I got it for him plus it don’t bother me either way so.

    Awesome little gaming system for running Full Hd games. Love that there is the option to purchase the Xbox games pass which gives you full access to hundreds of games including Halo, and Forza. Runs great for any 60fps gamer.

    This Xbox box is totally AWESOME, I had the Xbox one x and I wanted to upgrade I didn’t want to pay the fee of the full upgrade and this is totally worth the money. There is a huge difference between the Xbox one x and the s series games load a lot quicker & look a lot nicer too. The unit is nice and quite and the overall design is nice and sleek.

    Love it! Could’ve waited for a Series X and paid more but the Series S does everything I want and need it to. And with the option to add an external hard drive, it’s a less expensive option. I wasn’t looking for 4K gaming, just wanted to play online with family and my kids. Fits the bill perfectly!

    Better value in my opinion of both the Xbox Series X and the PlayStation 5. This is very mobile, all you need is a backpack that can hold a laptop and then you can hook it up in a hotel or work etc etc. with the proper tv or monitor you get the 120 refresh rate and it is beautiful.

    Misleading "backward compatibility"

    Wish the Series S had a disc drive, it's a great updated console for those looking to move into the next gen without breaking the bank (granted right now nothing is even available as bots/scalpers eat it all up with the silicon shortages) but it also means "backwards compatibility" is basically a lie on this console as all your old games aren't playable on this since it has no disc drive. If you're a 100% digital gamer, than this is the console for you.

    The series S is definitely a good console. I think the no cd aspect. and downloading the games will be the new normal in the near future. I use it as an extension gaming for my second home to keep the titles and save anywhere i go. loading time is much faster that previous gen console Affordable Great job
