    My son loves it and it works perfectly. Added bonus that it does not take up very much room on his desk. We bought it to replace a defective PS5 and I think my son likes it even more than the PS5 because of how easy it is to use.

    Best Buy had this in stock before Christmas. I was leaving the store and noticed a few behind the registers. I asked if they were available and was able to buy for my son. The console is not that big and my son loves it using Xbox Game pass.

    Excellent system. Works swift and as advertised. High speeds, both for downloading and for playing. I do wish it was easier to enter information in either via voice or keyboard input from phone app. Outside of those small considerations. Excellent product.

    Every good system. Not as good as the X, but every close be hide. In some instances it beats the X in loading times or handles some games a little better.

    Next gen gaming at a fraction of the cost. Ive loved xbox since the 360 era ans while the One dropped the ball a bit with navigation and software; the S/X is the better consoles of the era. Recommend

    Get the series X

    I have this and the series X and everything about the series X is better. This has a tiny SSD. You think you're getting all 512GB? You are actually getting 364 of usable storage. With games averaging between 30-60gb your 364 will go fast. If you are getting any good external hard drive it'll be at least $100 more so now you are at $399. Might as well spend another hundred and get the series X. Also, I quickly learned that I can't go without my disk. Game pass makes this system very usable, however I have to many old games and I just like disks. The only pro I really liked about this was it's footprint. This is the smallest modern gaming console out. It's light weight and very sleek. I just see no logical reason to get this. You don't even need a 4k TV to enjoy the benefits of a series X. I feel like this model will be obsolete before you know it. They'll be releasing something between the S and X in a year or so and people will be selling these for dirt cheap on FB marketplace. I'd highly advise against this model.

    Best console you can get at this pricepoint. Considering the value and how much more pleasing it is aesthetically (compared to series x) I think its a perfect companion to ps5.

    If you don't play a tone load of games and you use a lot of streaming services, the Xbox Series S would be a amazing device to use. Pros: Streams 4K, next gen games, portable, light weight Cons: Limited storage
