Great Compact System
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love how compact this is and how everything loads pretty fast. I added an additional external drive. The graphics are amazing as usual. I don't need a disc as I buy all digital anyway. Would love the system to come out in the future with a bigger hard drive but am happy with the expansion capabilities.

Series S, your only option if you can’t find the X
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you’re like me and can’t find a Series X in stock anywhere and wanted an Xbox to play the new Forza and Halo then the Series S is your only option. It’s a wonderful little system that packs quite a bit of horsepower in its small size. My only issue, and it’s a big one, is the lack of a disc drive for backwards compatible physical games from the 360 and original Xbox generation. Also the controller feels like a Fisher Price toy in comparison to the PS5 Dual Sense and still retains that signature clicky dpad.

Heart it hard!
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I thiufht the whole "upgrade" thing was fake hut it truly is a step up with the extra hardware. There is so much detail and less of that grainy vision with this. Plus the fast switch is pretty epic as well. Worth the money. Jus make sure u got a 4k TV able to do 120hz to truly enjoy all it has to offer

Nice gaming value
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great bang for the buck. If you have a smaller room or do not own a 4K tv its the choice to have. Even witht he 4K its still a nice machine.

Posted .Hi Brutus,
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

Not top bad
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not a bad console for being digital. Only real issue was getting hot once, has not done since. Not enough storage would be my only issue.

Series S, the S stands for Stupendous!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was initially concerned that I wouldn’t like this as much as I would have liked a Series X, but I really love this device! It’s perfect as a GamePass machine, and is small and does not take up much space. Seriously, it’s like the size of a Wii. I got the disc enabled PS5, but this is a perfect compliment to that.

Great travel/spare room console.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For what it is it's great. I already have a Series X so this is for travel and the other room. Microsoft's cloud saves make this viable. I got a cheap but nice travel case on Amazon to make this a travel Xbox when needed. It's ridiculously small size is perfect for packing.

The ‘Xbox Series X’ for Less
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The only downside of this product is that it doesn’t have as much storage as the Series X, but can be fixed with an External Hardrive or SSD Expansion Card. But other than that, has all the functionality of the Series X but for way less.

Great Console
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We love the Xbox series games and the new console is great, just can’t play discs, and we added a seagate hard drive for an extra terrabyte which makes it an awesome console.
