    I’m an absolute Xbox fan and I have been for a very, very long time now. With that said I absolutely am in love with Xbox Series S! This is a really decent console, especially if you’re someone who just enjoys playing casually and not a huge gamer! This is the way to go!!!!!

    Nice Cheap Version of the Xbox

    The Series S is good, but I wish I had bought another Series X instead. The X is worth the increased cost. But it's good they made this, as the previous generation One X would be 3-stars compared to it, and the previous generation One S would only be 2-stars compared to it. The solid state storage load times make all the difference, but 512GB isn't great.

    It definitely worth the money seeing that it Damm near impossible to get your hands on a X I would definitely go the S route if you are just looking to get into the next-gen gaming

    My favorite thing about this Xbox is how small it is! I wasn’t really into specs of the series x, plus I don’t have a tv or monitor that could take advantage of them, so I decided to go with the series S. My only complain is the storage size.

    Even without a disc drive, this is such a bargain for next-gen gaming, and it's easily small enough to fit in a backpack to bring with you. In fact, that was my primary reason for getting the Series S. The 1TB expansion card is a hard pill to swallow costing more than half of the cost of the Series S by itself but I think over time it'll be necessary to avoid having to constantly manage game installations on the internal drive.

    I am in love. The size is a lot smaller than you think possible, the faster storage is a real game changer it brings to life older games if nothing else just to see how quickly they boot up. The only drawback is the size of the storage but for the price I have no complaints.

    Why wait for the Xbox Series X when you can find this one! It will play all the same games, it will look the same since you probably need glasses and sit more than 10 feet away from that 4k screen. And guess what some games are still in 4k! Save money, buy this.

    Microsoft was smart to release this stripped down version of the Xbox. I’m a casual gamer and was mostly excited to get the latest “MLB the Show” without dropping too much cash. This thing delivers for those of us that don’t need crazy specs.

    It’s a pretty good console for the money but the storage kinda sucks. You can only install a couple of games because games take so much storage now.

    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.

    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!

    I have never had an Xbox before, I just happened to always get other consoles but this is a nice way to get introduced to the Xbox ecosystem and GamePass. Enough power of you wanna play games like Halo, Gears of War, EA games, or others included in GamePass.
