    Great disc-free console for your everyday gaming. My only cons would be the size of the hard drive and not coming with a rechargeable controller, but both features can be purchased as an add-on.

    I absolutely love this console! It’s well worth the upgrade from the Xbox one. I was uneasy about it at first to get it but it was definitely a great idea upgrading to this. Great price, great quality. Definitely would recommend getting this over any other console. Only downside is, if you want a lot of games, you need to purchase a storage device to go along with it.

    I purchased the Series S when the Series X was in low supply, hoping to upgrade when the X was back in stock. Two years later, I’m completely happy with the smaller, digital only console. I have access to all of the current gen games, and while I may not get all of the bells and whistles, even heavy hitters like Cyberpunk 2077 look great.

    Thing is still working. I leave it on all the time and haven't had any issues. Make sure you clean it every now and then so dust doesn't coat it.

    Lots of fun with improved graphics over our old Xbox One. We really wanted a series X but even a year out they’re still being scooped by scalpers and impossible to get. When our Xbox One finally died, we ended up going with the Series S after a month of trying. Need all the fun toys working at home during the pandemic and it doesn’t seem like the X will be available any time soon. That said, this is an impressive little machine and I am glad we got it. It’s a huge upgrade and the graphics still look pretty great on our 4k TV. Best of all, we were able to pay a normal price without encouraging greedy scalpers.

    The Xbox is nice with the new graphics, but it is hard to get logged in through my old account with the new Xbox. It does not seem to want to register my old account making my son have to create a new account which has been very frustrating.

    Awesome system....with one MAJOR flaw microsoft doesn't tell you about. I recently upgraded from my xbox one s to the series s and you can see a major difference in system speed, graphics etc. I had an external seagate drive attached to my one s and never had any issues. I assumed doing the same with this system wouldn't be a problem, however as you start to download games SPECIFICALLY designed for series x/s or cloud gaming, you are presented a message that because of the speed of the games, it has to be downloaded to the internal memory. So MAJOR drawback having only 512gb of internal memory. Now right now its not a huge issue because most games are not optimized for series x/s but when the gaming ramps up, space disappears quick. And unfortunately, xbox has said external drives even with usb 3.0 are not quick enough speed wise. So what does that mean? If you want to save more things on your xbox, you will need to purchase the additional seagate xbox ssd card which is 200$ for their lowest one. At that point, should have just purchased a series x.
