    Bought this for my husband for Christmas. I really didn't think I was gonna be able to find one in time but I'm grateful that best buy put protocols in place to make it harder for bots to grab them all before anyone else had a chance. My husband loves it and has no complaints so far.

    First Xbox ever and it works great. Getting in and out of games is fast and the controller is excellent. The user interface is a bit tricky to navigate, especially compared to Nintendo and PlayStation. Overall it is solid for gaming and I would definitely recommend picking one up.

    Very happy with my new system, I was going to wait for the X model but my older system stop working, so I have to go with the S, but very happy I have a external memory from my previous console and all my games were there already, so was a plug and play, and I save some money

    The Series S is a game changer in everything equipped. Im purchasing a expansion card cause im gonna keep this for sure. The graphics and even the controllers feels great and powerful. Glad i got the drop today. Truly an amazing experience thus far. Better than PS5

    Coming from the original xbox one this was the only next gen console I was able to pre order and I'm not disappointed. It looks great loads games very fast and runs very quietly can't even hear it to be honest. Very satisfied with it and don't plan on getting an X for a while if at all.

    This little box is so amazing man if you’re on the fence about it just get it. You got so many game choices with game pass and fast speeds and doing 60fps or even 120 at a $300 value is amazing. Very smart on Microsoft for making this

    No disc drive, but no big deal with so much available to just digitally download. Gaming is always better with a SSD. And it takes up less space with it's smaller size.

    If all you're looking for is a gaming machine that comes ready to install hundreds of quality games via gamepass, and aren't overly concerned with 4k resolution the Series S is unbeatable in it's value. My only real criticism is the lack of storage space for an only digital device.

    My favorite form factor so far in a console! Really hope they go this route when they revamp the Series X in a few years. It also runs completely silent, only radiating heat from the back vent. I bought the $219 1TB memory card expansion to go along with it, but it’s also nice to have the option to hook up a normal usb hard drive to store old games as well. In summary, I love the size and performance so far and I hope they make the Series X this small when they revamp it!
