Customers commend the Xbox Series S for its affordability, compact size, and impressive performance, especially considering its price point.

    As someone enjoying the Xbox Game Pass, this new console was an inexpensive transition to the next generation. Having game pass allows me to play on multiple devices whenever I want, but when I really want to see great graphics and a quick boot process, powering on this console and being on my games in less than 30 seconds make it so much better. My original Xbox One took so long to load, and thats an issue of the past with the Series S. Absolutely lovd this console!

    From someone who was originally planning on getting the PS5 I missed out and instead settled on the Xbox series S. I planned on getting this eventually but not until later in the year however this console is a great system for both new and existing Xbox fans.

    More powerful than you think. I couldn’t wait to get home and play some of the titles that comes with the Game Pass. Very exciting!

    Well... I have been playing for one week now. I tried several games like Godfall (i would rate 4/10), Spider-Man Remastered (10/10 so far), Astro Bots (I'm an playstation fan for over 25 year now - so... 10/10!), God of War PS+ collection (10/10 - even it's only 30fps) and many other games I owned before: CoD Warzone, Battlefield 5, Rainbow Six Siege, No Mans Sky, Destiny 2, Madden NFL, GTA online. All in all I'm very impressed by the smoothness of the PS5 UI. Everything works more fluently and faster. It's very easy and fast to create and join parties! And I really love the new controller as it is a bit bigger, fitting perfect in my hands. I really love the adaptive triggers, as they for example simulates the tension of spider-mans webs when web-swinging through new york! That's awesome!

    I bought this for my son to replace his Xbox s. He uses a 1440p monitor and this is absolutely perfect! It runs at 1440p 60frames! One thing I really liked is the ability to run all you older items. Controllers, headsets, remotes, etc.... It boots up quick and the quick resume is freaking awesome. Perfect for PC monitors.

    I was clueless about the difference between this and my son's original Xbox One. He did some research and explained it to me like it was 1997: yes, it plays the old games, but the new ones look and play much better and faster.

    Its small, quiet, and a lot of fun. Got it for myself and a roomate and we both can use it when we want. No disc slot which is fine for me. I dont need to have that as i stream everything anyway and i dont care about return value on trade in. For thise that want to buy physical discs this is not for you. The smaller memory is kinda nnoying but truth be told i dont keep to many games on it at once so no impact yet. Overall i would recommend for a fun gather around or hey maybe its just for you, wither way i think youll enjoy

    Don't let people tell you otherwise, this is an amazing little piece of hardware. I already had a Xbox Series X and I wanted to add this one to my upstairs loft and it does not disappoint. Fast load times, 1440p resolution and 60fps are all possible with this console. I have my older games on an external drive so there is plenty of storage. For games that take advantage of the advanced features this console is capable of, I have installed on the internal storage. I already have the Segate 1TB expansion for my Series X and if there is a game I want to play upstairs, I simply plug it in to the Series S and away I go. The value to cost makes this console a must have!

    Xbox Series S

    I will give a few quick cons then a pro. Cons: 1. Storage space. Period. Large next gen games, expect to only have 3 or 4 games installed at a time. The usable amount is not the 500gb. It was more around 400 I believe. The games are so large on next gen consoles and can easily fill up. 2. The system is good and next gen, however it is not a huge leap over the Xbox One X (In my opinion). At the price you are paying, the extra $200 for the Series X is literally a huge difference maker and I believe you would be better off trying to obtain one over this. I think it should be cheaper because the gap between the consoles is very significant. Pro: Ray tracing. This is what the Xbox One X did not have and will be the most noticable thing from the jump to the Series S. It is beautiful, however runs better on the Series X. Again, my opinion. Overview: All in all, I wish I would have bought two Series X consoles over one each. The Series X has a 1Tb SSD and the useable space is up in the 800s gb. So there is more potential there. I would only buy this console if it were for a younger child who can't tell the difference in gaming and you wanted to get them on the next gen systems, but don't be surprised when they complain about harddrive space.

    For the price is one of the best console out side, digital only, but if you’re going to play only Game Pass or games that you have in your library, this is your choice
