    Most of you don't need a Series X. No, really.

    The internal storage is a let down when your top tier smartphones can match it byte for byte. Other than that, this is a solid upgrade for 90% of the gaming population. You can't find a PS5 or Series X? Trust me, that is honestly fine. This console does so much well for so much less money that you really aren't going to appreciate the minor shortcomings. Don't take my word for it, watch side by side videos on Youtube. The quality isn't THAT much worse game to game. Spend half, then use the leftover money for a game and a controller. Then buy yourself a value meal from Taco Bell like you know you want to as a reward for your frugality. You earned it.

    If you are second guessing the purchase of a next gen system, don't! Go for it! I can personally say the affordable Series S model has surpassed my expectations. I upgraded to the Series S from a One S and all of my games play better overall. Both online multiplayer and gaming solo has proven to be a more enjoyable experience on this machine with faster load times and much improved visuals. Some feel like I'm playing the game for the first time, it is that big of a difference. Beyond happy with this purchase.

    I was blown away by how amazing this thing is. I wanted to get the series X but can never find it in stock. So I got the series S to hold me over then I will be moving it to my bedroom. The system is so small. I was shocked it how tiny it is. Games look great on it, I have it hooked up to a 55” 4K tv. The only drawback is the no disc drive but I can live with that. Game pass is a must with this system. Don’t sleep on the series S. Next gen games at an affordable price.

    I was was lucky enough to get this when there were very little available. Its still working great, i use it everyday. The xbox is desinged to be more than just a game console, it works as an all around media device. The menues are very easy to navigate (much more so than the playstation) in terms of use other than gaming.

    Series S .. I live in a Hotel in Downtown Miami/Brickell area .. Use hotel WI-Fi and it Hooks Up easily Every-time.. All the Time.. Do not have any Lags when playing a Game or using KODI ... Small..Compact Excellent Machine… Thought I would be disappointed in not getting the Disc Drive System.. But Honestly.. I pay for Top Tier Internet.. So STREAMING AND DOWNLOADING.. Is really the only way to live your life now… Less PHYSICAL PIECES…. LESS CLUTTER… HAPPIER PLANET..

    Fantastic console with great performance. I would recommend this console to anyone who does not already have a gaming console. It is the best bang for buck. If you have kids under 10, probably go with a switch. If you game a lot, probably pick up an external hard drive.

    if your on a budget and owned the xbox one or xbox one s and don't mind not having a disc drive then this is the perfect console for you very cable console does the job it was intended to do very well.A good entry point for next gen gaming the storage is a little underwhelming but you can use an external hard drive or the very expensive ssd expansion storage to increase game save space i definitely recommend this console it's great for the price and the size is so small doesn't take up much space at all

    Bought this for my sister and she loves it. Fast load times, quick resume, and small enough to fit anywhere. The series s is an affordable way to play on the next generation. Only $300 compared to $400-500. Sadly there is only 512 gb internal but you can use already owned external storage if you need more. If you need more. It runs very quiet and has pretty good performance too. I have a series x but was almost regretting my purchase when I saw the series in use.

    A great console for the price the performance of the console is worth more than $300 and it quickly proves why the cost is way lower for what you get from it loading into games has never been faster and looked so good on console. The only downside I can think of would be the storage space but that’s such a small fixable issue with a lot of storage option available that I would not hold that against this console.
