    Overall, I like how the Series S performs for the price. It is the perfect companion console if you have a chunky P.C. The M.2 drives and quick resume play is amazing Backwords compatibility and Indie games are the highlights for this console, if you are looking for true next generation gaming then go for the Series X or a RTX3080 equipped computer.

    So glad I finally got my hands on one. I haven’t found any games that blow my mind with next-gen optimization, but I’m loving the all digital system. It’s so small, I was actually shocked. Not much taller or wider than my Switch when it’s docked. Game pass is so worth it to me. I’m excited for future games to come out that are optimized for the system.

    The series s is a extremely well-rounded system and very impressive. Coming from someone that has had all xbox’s and also an owner of the series a as well I can tell you this console packs a very heavy punch in a small unit. Would highly recommend for someone not wanting the extreme performance or wants a great next-gen console on a budget.

    Absolutely love the console! Very small and easy setup its super fast! Only downside is storage but other than that its awesome. And since i have a 4k tv my xbox series s also runs in 4k! Also if you're waiting for in store pickup be patient trust me youll get it. I had a delay pickup message on my estimated date and then it was ready the next day. Happy gaming!

    I love it. It is great for my son. It’s smaller than the Xbox one S and it’s so quiet. Gamepass is the best thing to buy for a kid as well. So many games for kids available.

    Solid value for $300, and I like the design better than the Series X. Really nice size. The Xbox game pass included is also a good value. I'd rather have this than the Series X if you're not concerned about 4K and having disc compatibility. Glad they made a next gen console that's relatively easy to be purchased. Also the controller is comfortable.

    Great console for the value, especially if you grab Game Pass Ultimate. In my opinion, if you're a PC gamer, Game Pass Ultimate + Series S is a great combination without having to shell out the full price for the Series X. In no way do I think this is better than the Series X, but it's also $200 cheaper and a great entry-way into next-gen gaming.

    It’s the next generation Xbox; use your galaxy brain to figure out what it does. The practical difference between this (model S) and the model X is 4K resolution. If you 1. don’t have a 4K capable monitor/tv &/or 2. prefer playing games with performance over visuals (ex. competitive titles) then this is fine. Don’t use disks, they’re a dying hardware.

    I bought this as upgrade to the xbox one x, and let me tell you it was not a mistake. i see a lot of people saying to stay with the one x, over this, but the load times and optimization make it wayyyy worth it. my advice is to sell the one x, if you have it, and upgrade to this.

    I was really bored and i haven’t play video games in almost 1.5 decades. So they recommend me to get a video console. I was originally looking for a Nintendo but the salesman told me they had available, i bought it without having any hint. Wow i love it!!!! Is kind of addictive so be careful but the only flaw i find is that the controller requires two AA batteries and they last about two days so thats a future investment you need to do. Also im quite happy i got this ine thatnindont need to buy the games, i do the game pass!

    Great console, especially for the price point. Don't let the smaller storage bother you too much, just add an external hdd, 90% of the games run off the external drive. Only some of the Series X/S exclusives require the internal SSD. For instance, Halo MCC runs off the external drive. Also, amazing platform for emulation, if you're into that.
