    The item is perfect. Worth the wait and hype. My only complaint is the grip on the controller is like polka dots and feels like sandpaper. I'm looking into alternative grips for it. Other than that this thing and accompanying controller are so much fun and so fast. I def. recommend getting extra storage as I have 4 games and almost filled my space.

    This little box plays games and does a good job at it! If you are not worried about 4k gaming and 1080-1440p for next gen games are ok with you, this console works great! I've got the Series X and S and this console holds it's own great. Flight Simulator ran really well connected to a monitor as did other games I've tested.

    This console it is great, honestly it is an excellent upgrade for those who can't afford the Xbox Series X or are unable to acquire it. Because it is much smaller than my previous Xbox, it doesn't occupy so much space. The games that I played, which are online mostly, do run significantly smoother and faster, so that is a huge difference.

    If you cannot find the Series X, this is the next best thing as long as you do not need 4K or disc reader. I bought this specifically for flight simulator and fortnite. It connected to an HD monitor now but did upscale well to a 4K TV. At 60% of the price of a series X, I would buy another! Its surprisingly small and quiet!

    Great purchase, but it wasn’t the one I wanted. I tried to buy the newer one but it kept getting cancelled after waiting and waiting. But I am satisfied with the one I was able to get. I also got a lot of extra stuff with it.

    I'm an Xbox guy since the beginning. This new xbox series s has met all my expectations. The speed which it loads games have significantly improved. I only download my games and stream my movies, so the lack of a dvd/blu-ray drive doesn't bother me. Perfect gaming console for streaming and use with xbox gamepass ultimate. I highly recommend.

    This is the 2nd Xbox Series S I have. Purchased this one when I was stranded working in North Dakota for a couple of months and ordered a carrying case for it as well from another vendor. Worked well and was easy to purchase and pick up at the local best buy.

    It’s good, should be less expensive in comparison.

    The system is good. No problems. It will get you in the game. I would have preferred the X because it is worth the price difference, but it has no availability. Considering the low storage capacity, no blue ray player, less powerful processor and lower resolution output than the X, this entry level box should have a lower price tag. Either that or the X is quite a value. The availability was the only selling point for me. Having said all of that, I’m glad It was available and I did not have to wait to start gaming again. I do enjoy playing on this machine!
