I bought this item for my kid and he loved it. It's satisfactory and convenient for use

Excellent replacement for my pc. It’s fast and reliable, the load times are comparable to a pc.

Great product for young kids. Works great for young kids. Not bulky in there rooms

I purchased this console through Bestbuy and I was so excited to see what all the hype was about. My first game I downloaded was GTA 5 and the gameplay was phenomenal on the console and the graphics were amazing. Highly recommend!!

How does microsoft's entry level offering into the next gen realm stack up and is it worth it? Since I currently own all three of the xbox one x, series s and series x (seriously microsoft can you get any lazier with the naming?) I thought I would take a second to give my two cents on the series s console as it compares and relates to its xbox brethren. So first off what exactly is the Xbox Series S and where does it fit into the rest of the Xbox family? The Series S is one of microsoft's two new next gen (current gen by now?) consoles as it looks to phase out the older Xbox One models. Its serves as the entry level next gen console sorta like the little brother to the much more powerful, flagship Series X console. Basically an all digital, disc free upgrade to the older Xbox One family. It brings advancements such as ray tracing, 3d audio, nvme ssd and faster gpu at the cost of storage and performance. In all honesty, the little brother doesn't really play in the same league as its bigger brother so its actually much more logical to compare it to the One X since both price and performance falls into a much closer spectrum to see if its worth upgrading for you. PROS:- The new Xbox Series S brings a host of advancements over the previous console cycle. Primarily and most obviously noticeable is that it is faster. Like, much faster. In fact that is the first thing everyone that has used mine says within the first 5 minutes. The new console clocks in with a GPU that is 393Mhz faster than a One X as well as a CPU that is roughly 1.5x faster. Add to that advanced NVME SSD and load times are drastically cut down from older consoles, so much so that it is seriously hard to sit and stare at loading screens for more than 20 seconds anymore. Beyond that the Series S also offers support for ray tracing along with twice the refresh rate at 120hz. Another under appreciated upgrade is support for 3D spatial audio, if you haven't experienced Dolby Atmos yet you are missing out! You also get the newer version of the Xbox wireless controller and much improved app support for all your streaming needs. All of this at price that is much more palatable than the Series X and about that of a new One X (if you can find one). Add to that full backwards compatibility for both gaming and hardware and you can see the many benefits to upgrading. However, that price point does come at some compromises.. CONS:- There are some trade offs to having a reasonable price point and smaller profile. Primarily the Series S is not a true 4k console. Output resolution is limited 1440p compared to 4k capabilities of the One X. However don't forget you have a much faster refresh rate which leads to far smoother gameplay and that is going to be much noticeable than the dip in resolution which really requires a higher end tv to make a difference. Another big difference is the obvious lack of a disc drive. Given the push towards digital gaming this may or may not matter to you, but any older games you still have on disc are basically useless and forget about using it as your 4k blu ray player. Although you can still access streaming services such as Netflix etc. Lastly for a system that is all digital you are definitely going to run into memory storage issues. With 512Gb of internal storage off the shelf there is going to be constant shuffling of what games you keep installed on your system. Considering most games are now in the 50-75Gb range and can often be much higher this could be quite the issue. VERDICT:- In conclusion the Series S is definitely a step up and into the next console generation. Although the resolution is actually lower than an older One X model this is not truly noticeable unless you have a very good newer TV. What is very noticeable is the processing speed and 120Hz refresh rate which any gamer will tell you makes a much bigger difference to the overall experience and the Series S shines here. And until you actually experience it you can't imagine the huge difference the loading times make, it is like old school dial up compared to 5g internet. Once you get used to it you really can't go back. So depending on what your budget and requirements are the Series S is totally and upgrade to the One X and unless you have spent $1000+ on a tv that is no more than year old and have another $600+ to spend on the flagship Series X this might very well be the console for you! A great way to experience the benefits of next gen gaming without breaking the bank.

Great system good graphics, Love how slim it is and easy set up.

This a compact and powerful device, great for playing the latest games.

I bought this for my boyfriend for Christmas last year and he loved it. He lived out so much that now, one year later, he still plays it every day. This is absolutely the best and most enjoyed gift I've ever given him. I would recommend this to anyone wanting a great game system.

The size of these new consoles are great. Makes it a lot easier to find a home by the TV. The boot up time is very quick with the SSD. It doesn't use the old discs, so it keeps the area clean of plastic disc cases. If you want to play your old disc games you might want to keep an old unit around. I like the direction Microsoft has gone with these. If I was a big time gamer I would get the X.

I love it! It’s fast, smooth & beautiful. Im so happy with my decision to grab it!

Great buy for the price, even if you have other gaming systems. If you are like many others and you have a PS4/5, gaming PC, and/or a Nintendo Switch, what is the point of another? Especially if your PC can play the same games. At least with PS5 or Switch, you have exclusives and a different experience. So if you have these systems already, it’s not likely to make sense and get this. You’ll need the $220 external Drive that is exclusive with Seagate to use for Xbox X|S games. And you’ll need Game Pass. Game pass is great for the cost. But most other triple A title games or open world games I play aren’t on Gamepass. It has its limits. Overall, if you have no other current gaming system, yes this is great. It plays great on a 1440p gaming monitor. The 120hz is so limited right now that doesn’t seem to matter, but it is still supported on this console.

Perfect little machine for streaming/1080P 60 FPS games. Perfect for people who primarily play PC or Playstation titles but still want to try out Xbox Exclusives in the future, albeit probably at a lower graphical fidelity than its Series X brother. The new Xbox One controllers have a very nice textured back now, seem to be better at resisting the inevitable gamer sweat from longer sessions of usage. UI is still the same from the Xbox One if you have used that prior to this; be it feels much snappier thanks to the fast SSD's these new systems use.

I purchased my Xbox Series S in September 2023 and have been thoroughly enjoying the experience. The console itself boasts a sleek, minimalist design that seamlessly blends with my entertainment setup, and it feels impressively durable. Performance-wise, the Series S exceeds expectations; games load rapidly, and I've never encountered lag or frame drops, even in graphically intensive scenarios. The game library is quite expansive, offering something for everyone, but my personal favorite has to be FIFA. Navigating the clean and intuitive user interface is a breeze, and additional features like the Xbox Game Pass provide incredible value, granting access to a broad variety of games each month. While the console might be considered pricey by some, the plethora of features and superior performance make it a worthy investment. On the downside, the limited stock availability can be a hurdle for potential buyers. All in all, if you're contemplating a gaming upgrade, the Xbox Series S comes highly recommended, offering a rich and seamless experience that justifies the price tag.

System works great and easy to use. Kids also love it when they do decide to use it.

perfect for 1080p couch gaming. Small compact and an excellent system for any non-4k display. This is the one you want if that's the case.

Although this Xbox S needed for me to upgrade my sons monitor to a 144hz, upgrade his hdmi to 4k and buy him a mini displayport (dk why) even if it’s not required; just for him to not be laggy & get a much better quality. My teen is far more content with his gaming. Hes lovin his Xbox S to the fullest… He stay steady gamin’. all. day. all. night. Fortnite, Apex, COD & other games.

Came in great condition, unlike other purchases to where I had to return it due to a faulty hardware, but since purchasing I've ran into no problems, very happy I have finally gotten a new gen console after trying so many times looking through Amazon andal other stores

Great system. It runs smoothly and I haven’t had issues. Get the SD card to increase storage and you won’t be sorry

The Series S is a great step up from the XBox One not just because of its more powerful processors, which won’t shine until more games come out that fully utilize them, but because of the near elimination of load times. When you play on this console, you spend most of your time actually playing. Coupled with Microsoft’s Game Pass, this console will keep you entertained for a long time.
