    Why wait for the Xbox Series X when you can find this one! It will play all the same games, it will look the same since you probably need glasses and sit more than 10 feet away from that 4k screen. And guess what some games are still in 4k! Save money, buy this.

    The Series S is good, but I wish I had bought another Series X instead. The X is worth the increased cost. But it's good they made this, as the previous generation One X would be 3-stars compared to it, and the previous generation One S would only be 2-stars compared to it. The solid state storage load times make all the difference, but 512GB isn't great.

    Coming from the original xbox one this was the only next gen console I was able to pre order and I'm not disappointed. It looks great loads games very fast and runs very quietly can't even hear it to be honest. Very satisfied with it and don't plan on getting an X for a while if at all.

    Microsoft was smart to release this stripped down version of the Xbox. I’m a casual gamer and was mostly excited to get the latest “MLB the Show” without dropping too much cash. This thing delivers for those of us that don’t need crazy specs.

    If all you're looking for is a gaming machine that comes ready to install hundreds of quality games via gamepass, and aren't overly concerned with 4k resolution the Series S is unbeatable in it's value. My only real criticism is the lack of storage space for an only digital device.

    My favorite form factor so far in a console! Really hope they go this route when they revamp the Series X in a few years. It also runs completely silent, only radiating heat from the back vent. I bought the $219 1TB memory card expansion to go along with it, but it’s also nice to have the option to hook up a normal usb hard drive to store old games as well. In summary, I love the size and performance so far and I hope they make the Series X this small when they revamp it!

    I have never had an Xbox before, I just happened to always get other consoles but this is a nice way to get introduced to the Xbox ecosystem and GamePass. Enough power of you wanna play games like Halo, Gears of War, EA games, or others included in GamePass.

    I love it, its perfect for my son he still gets all the next gen graphic and you can cross play with ps5 on certain games. The only downfall is the storage but you can install more on it which is clutch because you can download alot of free games from the past with ultimate pass

    Fantastic. I can't believe I waited so long to upgrade from the XBOX ONE. This is super-fast and performs like no console I have used before. Obviously, the small hard drive is a pain, but it is it what it is. So worth the low cost, in my opinion.

    I am very happy with my purchase. Just a few minor complaints. I love the size, and price point. It gets you into the next gen at a realistic price. I think the games run smooth. Sure they are not on same level with Series X or PS5 but they will do. My one complaint is I do not like the Xbox UI and the options for audio / mics. Just seems very dumbed down + hard to navigate.

    Love kicking back at the end of the day and playing games with all my buddies. Load times are a thing of the past with this new Xbox. Only thing that is a pain, is the small usable space on the SSD. Easily fixed by an external SSD. Great system. Great price.
