    Xbox S 512 GB All Digital console is amazing. I love that I don't have to worry about disc scratches running your purchase. In addition, the loading speed of the games is so quick. If you are on the fence, I'd highly recommend purchasing this unit over a PS5

    It’s just what you need if you’re a casual gamer like myself. With the size of games today a little storage management is required, but not a deal breaker.

    Decent console

    For $300 it's a decent console. I initially had the impression this console plays games at 1440p at 60fps and while some do, most games I have played are in 1080p 30fps. My biggest gripe, ironically, is gamepass. While it is a great deal, Microsoft punishes those that goes with the basic gamepass subscription at $10/month compared to gamepass ultimate at $15. For example, this past weekend, far cry 6 was free to play on pc, playstation, and xbox(so long as you had xbox live gold or gamepass ultimate). Microsoft took the opportunity to punish basic gamepass subscribers. Luckily I have a ps4 and was able to download the far cry 6 free trial without any subscription. I also dropped my gamepass subscription because that whole fiasco left a bad taste in my mouth. Also, Microsoft makes it very difficult to downgrade from Ultimate to basic and makes it easy to upgrade from basic to ultimate. I have a feeling they are going to eventually do away with basic at some point. Other than THAT, console is decent. Great price. One more thing, you don't get 512GB of storage, you only get 364GB.

    The product has been fantastic so far, I have enjoyed it very much. Incredibly smooth gameplay and quick loading speeds have made this console a must have. The only downside I have came across is the storage, enough space for 2-3 large games. But given the low price and download speeds, it’s not much to complain about. Very happy with this purchase.

    Xbox Seriea S - S for SMALL yet powerful

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The Xbox Series S is an amazing console. It is compact, silent, incredibly fast, and has so many noteworthy features to offer. It boasts unbelievably fast load times, unnoticeable fan noise, a consistent and smooth FPS with no stutters, and excellent visual clarity. This unit is $200 cheaper than the Series X. The only drawback to the Series S that I can find is the storage capacity. Microsoft has been very misleading with the 512GB and 1TB claims for storage capacity on the Series S and X respectively. My Series S only comes with about 365GB of usable space, while apparently the Series X gets a beefier 800GB or so, but compared to 1TB that is still a big decrease. My solution to the low storage capacity on the Series S is to purchase a USB to SATA adapter along with an internal 2.5" SSD for a computer, I have gained an extra 500GB of room to play by doing this and it only cost about $60. Compared to the eye-watering price of $220 for a 1TB expansion card from Seagate, this external SSD setup holds far more value and flexibility at a drastically lower price. For the disappointingly low internal storage capacity, misleading storage capacity claims, and poor value storage upgrade options offered from Microsoft,

    small but mighty brilliance, display ratio that cannot be contended for the price. unequivelant graphical superiority if you are looking for 1080p sweet 60 refresh rate then look no further. Addtionally silky smooth grips for the controller it comes with, sating your need for comfortability. astonishing laser quick read and write speeds for the lazy couch potatoes too eager to be bothered with slow transfer data rates. a firm straight out of another reality captivating lush edgy appearance to keep the little ones side lined giving you enough time to game night and day 365 24/7. absolute remarkable fan and heat dissipation. trust worthy tech support and wait there is more! wifi a/c means low latency and sure strike wifi capabilities that will shock and awe the average consumer without the need for a gaming router. it may not be wifi 6 but she bites and bites hard on the competition. last but not least .... can be set up right or side ways for horizontal paper weight dominance!

    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

    This item is indeed an Xbox Series S. Its a good value if do not play very many games at once (3-5 titles). If you want to take advantage of the GamePass subscription to the FULLEST extent, you may want to go ahead and get the Series X instead because it has more available storage out of the box. Either way, you’ll definitely need to purchase the additional storage or an external drive. Total cost of this console really ends up being 500 dollars if you want to play more than a few next gen games at once. Call of Duty, Fortnite, Destiny 2, Apex Legends, and Mass Effect have entirely eaten my internal storage. HOWEVER If you enjoy playing older games (pre 2018), indie games, you’re okay. Have at it. 10/10

    Hello to anyone reading this! I’ve always been a huge Xbox fan for countless years, and was skeptical when it came to the Xbox Series S. It surpassed my expectations, and I actually love this little thing! It’s strong, and extremely portable! Highly recommend for someone looking for a cheaper console, but hanging with the new, powerful consoles.
