This & gamepass are a no brainer.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best bang for the buck this is an amazing next gen budget console. This system with game pass is a no brainer. Small is downplaying this console. It’s freakin tiny & dead quiet. This is the perfect smart box for 300$. Play games. Stream movies. Take it anywhere with you. The speed alone loading & playing games is worth the price of admission. If you have a PlayStation & or switch, this is a great addition to the family.

Solid budget friendly way to play Next Gen Games.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you dont mind losing the disc drive then this is a decent way to get into Next-Gen Gaming. It comes with a very nice updated xbox series controller. You’ll most definitely want an external hard drive for your library of games as the 512GB that comes with the console will get eaten up quickly, also newer xbox series x/s enhanced games can only be installed to specific nvme storage cards so you’ll want one of those if you can afford it, if you can wait they’re may be more affordable solutions in the future.

Like The Little Brother I Wish I’d Been
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My brother was super popular and cool in high school and all the girls liked him. I overcompensated and tried too hard to be like him… Series S is also the Series X’s lil bro, but he’s like a cool lil bro. He knows he’s not the same thing his older bro is, and he’s fine with it. Plus, he arguably looks cooler than his older brother… Makes me think about what could’ve been.

It’s good
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works really well only Issues I’ve had is it plays mostly in 1080p I would only recommend it if you have a 1080p monitor or tv other than that it plays solid 60 FPS in most games and fast load up times

Posted .Hi Vish,
We're glad that you're enjoying your new Xbox Series S. If you're running low on storage, you have a couple of options. The best solution is to invest in the Seagate SSD 1TB Expansion Card for Xbox Series X/S, which will add 1TB of SSD storage to your console. For more information, go here: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/seagate-storage-expansion-card-for-xbox-series-xs-1tb-solid-state-drive-nvme-expansion-ssd-for-xbox-series-xs/6425015.p?skuId=6425015
Another solution is to add a standard external hard drive, which can be used to store and play Xbox 360 and Xbox One games that have not been enhanced for Xbox Series X/S.
We hope you have a lot of fun with your Xbox.
Happy gaming,
Chuck

Powerful, small, and small
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great power. Tiny package. Very small storage size. 512GB for a digital only console is a bit rough, especially considering the OS size.

Nice Upgrade
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really like that this console takes up less room on my desk than the Xbox One S I had before. Games load much faster than the Xbox One S I had. I do recommend purchasing the Seagate expansion card since the 512 GB of storage that comes with this console is a little light. The expansion card is very simple to install sits inside the console so there are no power or interface cables involved.

Surprised
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After having this for a few months, this is probably the best Xbox console to have. The system is fast, everything is snappy. The games load fast, BUT if you care for performance, wait for the series X. I used this console as my secondary choice. I do not plan on playing the newest games on here. Halo infinite beta looked okay, no different from halo 5. NBA 2K22 look good and played well.

good but greedy compared to ps5
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the cheaper system it is pretty good it handles all the games ive had on Xbox at 60 fps and then some and newer titles are rendered perfectly to meet that at 1080p. Ashwell as the quick start feature is also delightful one major complaint is that the ps5 digital edition Price is only 100 more than this and has the same power as the ps5 with disk drive, i feel Microsoft could've had the same power like the competitor and just not had disk drive. overall good system but kind of a greedy move with the power lack compared to series x. the graphics in the series s is basically a gtx 1060-1070 xbox series x rtx 2080-2080ti power wise and memory ram wise

Buying it was a great idea
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought it as a gift for my grown up son and we love it, I have my own and we play together online and its very fun. As a father, is even better being able to still play with my son.
