    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!

    I still have no idea how I managed to order this AND have it shipped/delivered all within 1 day but I’m definitely not complaining! I ordered this for my girlfriend and she absolutely loves it! It’s the perfect option for a “budget” next-gen experience. My main critique is the rather low amount of internal storage given the obnoxiously large file size of games nowadays. Thus, I highly recommend getting an external hard drive which I know you can always find good deals on. Just know that you can only play next-gen games if they’re installed on the internal drive. You can still move those games on an external drive for the sole purpose of storage which still saves you from having to delete and re-download them.

    This console with the game pass is a great combo! For what you pay for it feels like such a steal. It’s quick and powerful, the only downside is the memory. Definitely wish it came with more memory

    This product works great, very satisfied with the purchase. Highly recommend. I originally wanted a series x, but no longer. The size is perfect, no overheating. Set up a cabinet fan in tv stand keeps it cool.

    As a gamer who appreciates all console this one is extremely well. Besides the memory storage issue for the price you cant go wrong with this. I have the series x as well and the difference is minor.

    Not a fan of digital but I did change my mind after I bought a couple of 360 games, compact (which is perfect for lack of space) and generally really good

    Incredible product and I honestly don’t miss the disc drive. Lightning fast and incredible graphics. Easy to set up and I don’t care for 4K as these graphics are incredible enough (plus I don’t want to have to buy a new TV)

    With all the recent sales of the XSS this is the best value in gaming. The small design and amount of game pass games makes this the go to console for Xbox.

    This console may not be the most powerful, have the biggest storage, or run everything at 4k 120fps. What this console is, a surprisingly powerful entry level next generation console. I bought this to hold me over until I could find a series x, but what happened is I enjoyed it so much that while I still will get a series x I'm not in a hurry anymore. The series s is exactly what you think it is. The smaller weaker little brother to the series x. What you don't expect is a console that performs at this level, this smooth, and a few minutes in you forget it is a series s. I spent a few hours last night playing gears 5 at 120fps on series s. Some games if you choose visual mode even run at 4k. Pleasantly surprised and have no regrets.

    If you are expecting 4K next gen gaming, you’ll need an X. This is my living room console, but my main gaming device is my PC. That said, it’s an incredible value and works perfectly as a media player and casual console.

    We love our Xbox! We use it every day. Decided to upgrade and switch brands because the competitor product was not worth the price to us. This is a great console, and offers many of the same games that you get on other consoles. It offers a lot of entertainment for a great price. Has enough storage for probably 10 large games max, maybe 20 smaller games. Never had any issues with crashing. Game pass is a huge plus and definitely worth the extra money.

    Great product, xbox series S I wasn’t willing to spend 500$ on the Series X but it performs just as good for my 1080p games. Great console way better than my Xbox One S and a great value if you can find it at 300$

    These are fantastic!!!!! I have the 1TB for my home, I’ve purchased 2 for my kids, and 1 for my grandson. There easy to take with you on any occasion. Great for TV streaming. Resolution is beautiful and system is fast. It will fit in nearly every place in the house cause it being no bigger than a shoe box. Highly recommend. I only wish expansion cards weren’t so expensive.
