Happy with purchase
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I don't see the need to get to upgrade to the series X if you get this product with a external hard drive, more cost effective and you will have the same gaming experience.

Great gaming console
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I understand that for the true gaming enthusiast, some of the specs have limits that may -in a few years- seem a little underperforming compared to the Xbox x. But for what is optimized forX/S this machine is unbelievable both in price and capability.

Impressive
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’m really impressed with the power and quality of the Series S. I think it’s a great value compared to the PlayStation 5 and Series X. I’ve always owned a PlayStation in the past but this unit and game pass has won me over.

Posted .Hello there,
We're glad that you're enjoying the lightning-fast speed of 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,

Great but be ready to drop 220$
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a great little console the presentation isn’t much different from the one but being able to play the new games and the old ones at a good frame rate is nice. the only downside I can see is the lack of base space to play the series s/x games those need ssd so any external hard drive won’t work only the 220$ memory card Xbox sells can give you more space and with cod or 2k being over 100gb a piece. your gonna need the extra space

Xbox Newbie
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my first Xbox console. I’ve been a loyal PlayStation owner since the PS1. Bought this console mainly to play Halo. Graphics are excellent! Could have bought the X Series, but only bought this to play one game.

It's a next gen system!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's truly a next gen system! Don't sweat getting a series X if you cant find it and this is available. I was not impressed until I played a few games on my One X, now I don't want to play my "older" xbox. I am still waiting for a series X for my living room.

Powerful for a small machine
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought because it’s the easiest console to get at the moment. I do enjoy the setup seeing as how I haven’t owned an Xbox since Xbox 360. I do enjoy it cause it’s small and if I want to take it somewhere I wouldn’t have a problem carrying it around. The only complaint I really have is, after you install the updates you’re only left with like 392gb outta 512. I did end up purchasing the seagate external 1TB though. But nonetheless I enjoy it

Worth it, don't pass it up
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.#GeekyTechyCool Worth every penny, truly a next gen experience in a small package. Even more worth it with All Access since I can remove the games I don't have time for and just download them again from the ever growing library Microsoft has.
