    Looks and runs great on my 1080p tv. With over a hundred games included with the Games Pass subscription service I haven’t even had to purchase a game yet.

    If you’re unable to obtain a ps5 or an Xbox series x due to the high demand, coming from an Xbox one and a PS4 pro, you truly get a next gen experience out of this compact but truly powerful console!

    Love it!!! Honestly if you are looking to upgrade and don't want to wait for the X this is a great buy. Yes it lacks storage and disc drive.

    I got this Xbox for my boyfriend for Christmas. Originally we got the Oculus but he shouldn’t find any games that interested him. He loves the Xbox though. His favorite game is Madden, but he’s always yelling at it lol. It was a good price compare to other game systems.

    I was wanting the series X but, was only able to obtain the series S. I was a little bummed at first because I really wanted the X. But, I’ve really grown to love the S, it’s a little powerhouse in it’s own right. It has the quick resume which I love and the optimized games look great! After spending time with this system, I’m now really in no hurry to get the X. But, I will eventually upgrade when they become more available. So, if you’re looking to experience next gen now? You really can’t go wrong with this. The only downside to this system is it’s a digital only system. Which you’ll definitely need external memory if you choose to go this route.

    This is about the streamline for the Series S product. Getting access to the games is very efficient, and I realize that the disc version is very powerful. However, it does the trick in providing entertainment.

    As many people can’t find the Xbox Series X at its $499 price… you may want to take a look at this especially IF YOU ARE NOT A HARD CORE GAMER and just want a cute little update. The sound and the visuals are very good. The down side will be the very low storage, especially when this is a disc-free. They aren’t plentiful of games as of yet..

      Hey there,

      We're glad that you're enjoying your new Xbox Series S, and thank you for recommending it to others. 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

    Awesome Xbox for budget and/or PlayStation fans! I own a PS5 but I decided to buy this to play the game pass games and it works wonderful for that! Also super slim and small so it fits everywhere. 10/10
