    All though this counsel is an entry level for next gen gaming. It has far exceed my expectations. My only complaint would be that the storage is very low. Outside of that it’s an amazing system. Thank you to Best Buy for making the delivery very fast. I received my counsel before the suggested delivery date. I will be ordering from Best Buy in the future.

    Great system if you do digital only games and play on a 1080p TV. Obviously if you prefer physical discs or game on a 4K Tv, you’re better off saving up for a Series X.

    The Xbox Series S is perfect for your little ones, or anyone who’s an casual gamer. I recently bought one for the living room and one for my daughters room. With all the top games being free to play like Fortnite, Warzone, Apex Legends etc, this is one of the cheapest ways to get into gaming. Plus if you subscribe to Game Pass Ultimate, you will have access to a ton of games for $15 an month. Either way you go you won’t regret this purchase. The only con is the storage with only 512 GB SSD, but all you need is an USB hard drive to transfer all the games you’re not playing currently on to it instead of deleting them.

    It's really not a terrible console. The biggest thing is no physical drive and 512gb is not a lot of space for modern games

    The Xbox Series S is a very good budget console. If you don’t have a 4K TV and buy games digitally, then this is a good console to pick up for next generation gaming. Unfortunately, the console does not come with a disc drive, which means that any backwards compatible discs you may have will not work. Not only that, but that means you are trapped into the prices on the Xbox Store, as retail sales on games won’t work for you. Now, if none of that bothers you, then this is a good console for you.

    Very fast load times and also very download speed clear 60fps on my 4K tv I can see more graphics and color on my sunset overdrive game that I didn’t notice before well worth price Only con: You don’t get 520gb on system you get 364.5 go so think smart of what games to download cause for example Gears Of War 4 & 5my favorite game is 100gb & 80gb plus and that’s with extra content

    Great system! My favorite feature is the “quick resume”, when I’m tired from gaming late night I shut down my Xbox with no worries because I get to continue where I left off with quick resume.

    I purchased this little guy when it's big brother wasn't readily available. I was pleasantly surprised to find the Series S is a very capable console at 1080p. I played through MEDIUM (a native Series X/S title) perfectly fine on this console. The only shortcoming would be if you needed a disc drive for older games you own. But if your going all digital its a great deal.

    Obviously not as great as a Xbox series X I have both consoles and this a perfect console to play casual in bed or something. The series X is more for when you are in try hard mode and need the extra horsepower. I personally keep my series x in the living room with my gaming chair and elite controller. The series s is in my room and I play it before bed usually after work.
