    This was a gift for my son. He has been going through it the last couple of years. I am so proud of him getting his BA Degree and helping support his girlfriend get her Master Degree. He had been playing in the original Xbox that I bought him in college and to help take some of the daily stress off of him I surprised him with this new Xbox system. He loves it. He said his experience of picking it up and how quickly the games load has given baby boy a chance to relax and enjoy his new Xbox.

    More impressive than I ever thought. For such a low price this thing is very powerful. The quick resume feature is mind blowing. Now the 364GB of storage is an issue but it’s enough for 2-3 triple A games at a time

    System runs great. Got it for when traveling for work. Have a Series X at home. Definitely not as powerful as that but runs everything I want it to while traveling. Limited storage is a draw back.

    Great console, really see a difference. Get a new gen console for a better budget price with everything I wanted. The only thing I find bothering me is how incredibly small the storage on this console feels now that games are over 100gb each.

    Tiny little guy. I have a Series X as well the big black tower and the Series S is so small comparatively it’s crazy. I don’t personally need the disc drive so the S hooked up to a 1440p monitor is the best of both worlds.

    Spectacular video game console, with access to the entire new generation for a small price, the quality it has in that small space where it was built is impressive, the engineering applied in this console is really new generation.

    Small and fits perfectly behind my monitor. Just low on storage would recommend getting a ssd for the extra space.

    Tinier than the Xbox One which is nice.. Super quiet and super fast. If I were upgrading from the Xbox One the only difference would be the noise the console makes to be honest.. Unless you're buying the Series X then just save your money.

    Bought this because I at on PS primarily and intend on getting the ps5. But with upcoming titles on xbox I knew I'd want to get a next gen xbox. The series s will work perfectly as I also am only running a 1080p display atm. Runs fast, little bit if resolution drop on some titles but solid for it's price. I recommend if you want to save money on next gen and/or if you plan on primarily gaming on another system.

    As someone enjoying the Xbox Game Pass, this new console was an inexpensive transition to the next generation. Having game pass allows me to play on multiple devices whenever I want, but when I really want to see great graphics and a quick boot process, powering on this console and being on my games in less than 30 seconds make it so much better. My original Xbox One took so long to load, and thats an issue of the past with the Series S. Absolutely lovd this console!
