    Our boys were super excited to receive this for Christmas! I didn't want to deal with the hassle of discs so we went with the Series S. So far no regrets with that. The console was easy to set up and works like a charm. The graphics on the games are excellent. The only regret is that we didn't buy one for each kid! :)

    Overall, the console is a great value. Even though I was wanting the Series X, the Series S is more than capable of handling the job.

    Runs faster than old gen. It is annoying that it does not have discs so I can' t use my old games, and have to repurchase them. Pins on HDMI bent when cable pulled out.

    Amazing console. Have been using it for almost a month. It is small, does not make any noise, and I can play every game I want for a very cheap price.

    Definite Upgrade from Xbox One

    Much faster processor than the Xbox One S. Running at 120 FPS on a Samsung QLED 80 Series. Graphics on Halo appear to be better than with Xbox One S. Only downside is the inability to take advantage of true 4K in my LG OLED (requires upscaling). Great alternative to Xbox Series X.

    A nice speedy upgrade from last gen. If you have a great Oled tv, go for the Series X. Otherwise this works well for the rest.

    This xbox was just what I needed after my xbox one. The only thing about it was the storage but it runs just as well as the series c and buying an external hard drive was cheaper

    This is a great way to get into the next generation of gaming. The system is great if you have another next gen system or letting the kids play. The amount of space is limited but it makes up for it with its performance. If you are a hard core gamer then this is not the system for you.

    Looked up thhe specs after my purchase and found out this was the same power as the Xbox One X (which i have) was slightly disapointed til I loaded up a game and then saw how fast this thing processed the games. HOLY CRAP! Cyberpunk would take 30-50 secs or more to load and this takes about 5-10. The added ability to play the next generation of games is great too! Considering the Xbox Series X is currently going for $500-600 over the retail value this is a great way to take the first step into the next gen without breaking your wallet.

    Its truly revolutionary. Dont be afraid of losing the disc player. Step into the world without dvds discs and piles of nonsense plastic cases. Love the sleek look and compact size. Why this isnt the hotest selling item . I dont know. I guess trendiness is cool. Well i am playing the new games on a new system for 299 not 399 and love the smoothness of its operation. Step up to a nice oled or qled tv with it and enjoy the full beauty of gaming . Great little system. I think ps5 is sooo ugly. But what do i know.

    My og xbox one was slowing down so I picked this system up. Mostly because series X wasnt available. I do enjoy this S though because its much faster than my og.. Only downside I notice is of course the storage space. Both my external hds work seemlessly.

    I have both the Series S and Series X consoles. Both are connected to 4K TVs. Is there any difference visually? No! If there is a difference, it is so slight as to be imperceptible. MS Flight Sim looks the same as do all the Halo games. So far I have yet to see a game where I feel the need to play it on the Series X. I bought the S first then the X. Why? The Blue-Ray disc player. The X is not only a game machine, it’s also my DVD/BD player. The S is digital only. I have literally started a game on the S and then later moved to the X and cannot see any difference in quality worth mentioning. If you’re fine with all digital, want to save some money, the Series S is a great console.

    I was apprehensive at first with this purchase but was immediately put at ease. This is great for those of us who skipped the xb1 generation and want the next gen experience while we wait patiently for the series X to finally become available. AAA titles look fantastic with this( but keep in mind it’s still nowhere close to the series x) the modern features like NVME storage are a warm welcome as well. If you’re wanting next gen experiences without the scalper premium then I would suggest this hands down!
