    I bought two consoles, one for each of my kids. I considered buying one Series X instead, but glad I went for the Series S. They only play o e game and are happy with the power of the console.

    Wish the hard drive was bigger for an all digital machine but it loads and runs way faster than my old Xbox one.

    A great console. Have had mine for over 2 months now. It works great and games look so good on it. I don’t see the need for a series x at all when you have this cheaper option that just about matches the x’s power. Definitely recommend if you’re deciding between an x or an s!

    Love this XBOX, I use it when I travel. Small enough to fit in my backpack and easy enough to plug in and use at hotels.

    Now granted, I wasn’t able to get either the PS5 or the Series X but the series S is the unsung hero I have yet to get bored with it, now yes I am limited to the fps and other factors but given the price you are really getting your monies worth with this system.

    Great console that goes along well with a PC setup as a console for any games you currently own and enhances older OG Xbox and 369 games. Newer S optimized games also work well and this console is ridiculously fast when it comes to boot up and loading.

    First X-Box I ever owned, and I’m pleased. I also have a PS5 but each console has its advantages. Game Pass is totally worth it, and Dev Mode is a MUST if you love emulation.

    The Xbox Series S packs a punch in a small and convenient package. This console gives you an insight into next gen gaming without breaking the bank. Although it lacks in certain areas regarding graphics and overall 4k performance it’s still a solid deal for any casual gamer that can look past those imperfections. For me the Series S was the best choice!

    While the Series X is gold standard, the S provides excellent value. With GamePass (with cloud play!) remote play and excellent back catalog, this provides great gaming. Storage isnt great, but can be expanded.
