    While this is supposed to be the slightly downgraded variant to the series X, I find it an amazingly good option. It's small, quiet, and works well. For $300 you can really fail!

    Really nice graphics for games and streaming. I do miss the drive though and downloading everything takes too much time. It fits a niche market though and is an upgrade over the Xbox One X.

    This Xbox works great. No problems so far. Took forever to get one. Thank you best buy for not jacking up the price. I've actually started shoping more at best buy because I appreciate that.

    I’ve been a loyal PlayStation user my whole life and i still am but i bought the Xbox because of all of the exclusives that come with the game pass and overall I’ve been enjoying it but i will say that putting 2 AA batteries in the controller every other week is a joke. But the console itself in a whole is very nice it runs very quick and smoothly

    I didn't need it, but for some reason i just saw it as necessary. I felt like if i wanted i can hide it behind tv in a setup. I take it with me to work during night shifts at a hotel. I love it.

    Can't call it next gen...

    I'm a PlayStation person, but PS5s are hard to come by so I made the Series S my first Xbox. I really like the size and it reminds me of the PlayStation 2. Thus far, I wouldn't call this a next generation console, but more of an iterative update. Maybe my experience and opinion would be different if the next generation games like Halo Infinite, Forza Horizon 5, or the next Gears were available. I'm also disappointed that the controller does not come with a rechargeable battery in the box. All in all the Series S is a decent value for the money. But I'm not sold on it being a next generation console, at least not at this point.

    I love the xbox series s, good noiseless and very light and compact. The only thing I wish it could do the use of discs for playing old games in it, other than that good. Thanks BB

    Like the new UI and the quick resume is awesome. My only problem is that the games seem to get larger and larger. I used to be able to fit 4-5 games on my Xbox one s and now on my series s I can have maybe 2-3. Another issue is the expansion cards cost almost as much as the console does. It’s crazy that they cost so much.
