    Over all pretty happy with it . It downloads and starts up much faster then my Xbox one x. The video quality looks great 1440p - 4K upscale on my tv. I wanted the series x but availability is crap. The only thing I don’t like is it’s not native 4K and not having a disk drive aren’t really super important but still would be nice . Major down fall is the storage or lack there of . You can have like 3 titles stored before taking up all your space . The aftermarket memory card will be a must if you plan to use this as your only console. I’m using my usb storage for now for my Xbox one games luckily I only own 3 games formatted for the series s . I will eventually make this console my back up / bedroom console snd upgrade to the series x. But if you don’t have the money for the big guy this console is plenty enough for everyday gaming . I have it four stars because it is a nice console.

    This was for my oldest that plays but not as much anymore so I didnt want to invest a ton of money on something that he wouldnt use much and bought the youngest the Xbox X and they both are pretty similar to me but they are happy and love it compared to their old Xbox One S

    The xbox S series. A quality part of the lineup for those who do not need a disc drive or 4k. It does the job.

    My One X took a dump, so i revertedto my Xbox One Day One edition for a couple months. Going from that to this Series S was like night and day. Load times are ridiculously fast in comparison and the graphics/rendering have improved just as dramatically. Not sure if the Series X is worth the price for casual gamers. This is a great alternative for a budget conscious casual gamer.

    This Xbox is great for streaming and watching YouTube and Netflix, and sometimes playing games on it can be tricky cause it does overheat, but overall, it's a great Xbox

    Amazing Value and Performance!

    I recently purchased the Xbox Series S, and I couldn't be happier with my decision! The compact design fits perfectly in my entertainment setup, and the performance is outstanding. Load times are incredibly fast thanks to the SSD, and the graphics are stunning – especially for such an affordable console. Game Pass has opened up a huge library of games for me to explore, making it a fantastic value. The controller feels great in my hands, and the overall user experience is smooth and intuitive. Whether you're a casual player or a hardcore gamer, the Xbox Series S offers amazing performance without breaking the bank. Highly recommend!

    I love fueling my stardew valley addiction <3 … it is so much smoother to use than my PC and my PS3. My only critiques would be that Xbox controllers are a little annoying and don’t have the longest battery life (mine are wireless) and if you’re a big gamer that’s into a lot of different games storage might be an issue, regardless I’d still recommend buying.

    Ive had it for 5 months now, its amazing. The fps and loading times are what made it good, I dont really care about graphics. The gamepass is one of the best subscription services available, it has over 400 games, you'll find something you like. Only problem is the storage, it runs out quickly if you're downloading large games.

    Affordable Console Gaming

    Very affordable way to get into current gen console gaming. I love the console's look and how compact it is. Only real draw back (and it's a big one) is the lack of internal memory. 512 gigs just isn't enough for modern games. Especially considering that Series X/S games can only run on SSD so even an external HDD doesn't help much here and an SSD expansion is almost as much as the console itself, might as well get a Series X at that point. But if you're not as an intense user this might be the right choice for you.

    This console is awesome!! Everything run smooth, not issues at all!! I wish I got a bigger storage size, but we are balling on a budget, but I am going to purchase a storage upgrade. I switched from a playstation to an xbox and like this so much better. The controller layout is way better than the PS4 controller.

    Setting up and playing with it was easy however issues with connectivity through wifi was resolved by using a wired connection so it works much better with a wired connection than with wifi

    Great graphics compared to older models. Both new Xbox graphics and performance wise are pretty much the same beside storage capacity which sucks because it’s the digital only version and you have to download all your games. Which storage capacity doesn’t allow you to download too many games. However buy a 5tb external hard drive like I did which you would probably have to do with the x series any. So this way your about 430$ in versus 630$. So I’d choose the more cost efficient unit.

    I have no complaints about this gaming console other than the small memory capacity but that was expected upon purchase...and nothing that an external hard drive can't fix! The smoothness, quickness and graphics are all a step-up from our last xbox console. For the price... you really can't go wrong!

    At first I was hesitant to buy this because of there being a slower gpu than the Xbox series X and didn’t know if I should wait until the Xbox series X was easily purchasable, anyways I bought it and I’m so glad I did. This console is amazing and I saved so much money! It’s way better than the previous consoles and pretty much the same price! I’m so glad I bought this!

    Really enjoy this xbox its nice to not have to hassle with disks for your games and having to worry if the disk has scratches and will play or not. My only con is once you buy a game your stuck with it so trying the games isnt an option persay without the gamepass but its worth the 15ish a month! I will though reccomend if you play alot of games to get a external hard drive space is decently limmited
