    I'm not a 'gamer', I've had an xbox360 for many years, played very rarely, and I was happy with that. I got this system because I wanted to play certain new games. I found it very easy to use and set up. I don't know enough about systems to compare graphics, but I can say that if you are hesitant and trying to buy your first game system, this is a great choice!

    This is the last Xbox that I got haven’t switched it over 3 to 4 years now. And I see no reason to change anytime soon still works like new and it’s super fast with the Internet and the multiplayer capabilities as well

    Best system ever. Sometimes I wish I had the Series X but even now more and more games are getting updated to run at 1080p and be optimized for series S. Blazing fast speed, games running at 60fps like Skyrim which Xbox recently Optimized, tiny and sleek and attractive form factor, this device makes me never want to touch my ps5!! Paired with the external SSD, an external hard drive, and the internal 512Gb storage, storage is never an issue for me. I even purchased the ONI Halo sling on bag to travel with this thing as well. Best system ever and extremely well worth the money for next gen gaming!

    Ive owned every gaming console since the inTelevison. Google it. The series s is a great little console with enough horsepower for most people. Its best selling point is ofcourse the price. The resolution is great on a 4k tv. Most people will not be able to tell its not true 4k. Since I’ve had kids ive downgraded to being a casual gamer and this console has been just fine for me. Xbox game pass is also amazing. Ps5 is struggling with putting out games these days so xbox has the edge here.

    Great purchase! At $300 it can run most games at great graphics. If you're a hardcore gamer go for the Series X, but this will work more than fine for casual players.

    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.

    Awesome for the price. Great upgrade from a One S. Definitely need an additional Hard drive. Super compact and portable. But if you are willing to buy an additional HD might as well get the X. (If you can find one.) Ended up returning it for the Series X. More power And true 4K.
