Perfect
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This Xbox is perfect for me. I play pretty much the same games. NBA 2k, madden, any GTA that comes out, and occasionally I’ll purchase a COD game. Works great for me. All my movies are digital anyways. It’s time to cut the cord anyways. Love it.
I would recommend this to a friendCriminally underrated!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Underrated, unless you have a 4K tv, this is the Xbox to get. The graphical improvement of the series x is only worth it if you have a high end 4K tv like an oled. If not, grab this and enjoy! You won’t be missing out on anything!
I would recommend this to a friendLove this thing.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When paired with an external drive, this thing is a beast. I've been using it nonstop since I got it and I cannot suggest it enough. No issues at all. If you might play on a few different monitors/TVs, it's perfect because it's nice and portable.
I would recommend this to a friendPerfect for me.
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love my OneS. Works great and the cloud and external storage boosts help. I’m not a super gamer, so this is perfect for me to enjoy all my Halo gaming.
I would recommend this to a friendWorth the upgrade
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was hesitant on getting this console since I had the Xbox One S and it was working just fine. I'm beyond glad I did, the difference in performance is massively noticeable. I don't purchase discs so this is perfect for me and what I use it for.

Great Budget Next Gen Console
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great low cost next gen console. If you are playing from a 1080p TV this is the unit for you. Games still look great and half the price of a PS5 or Xbox One and much more availability. Also great to use for emulators and older games.
I would recommend this to a friendThe available gaming machine
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.1080p beast? Check. 1440p beast? Check. 4k beast? It’s manageable on the right display. So check. Available? You’re absolutely right. Unlike the PS5 and Series X, this is available.

Good Xbox Machine
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great little Xbox, good for computer monitor (up to 1440p) but don't expect 4k gaming. Quick resume, game boot up and start up are fast. If 4k and memory are a factor then step up and get the Series X.
I would recommend this to a friendGreat
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best Xbox out! Fast loading and downloading times!
I would recommend this to a friendFor the price, you can't beat the Series S
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.C'mon! Its an Xbox .. my son loves this! His mind was blown because he was sharing mine but he now has his own! The setup was easy but most important, all his saved games and skins transferred over ,, that was key!
I would recommend this to a friendnot bad
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.love this little thing. only downfall is paying $220 to upgrade the memory.
I would recommend this to a friendNeeds a bigger SSD or better external options
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really like the size of this console and how fast everything loads. If not for the SSD that is WAY too small and the inability to use true 4k @ 120hz I would give it 5 stars. Since you cannot (currently) use an external SSD that isn't the $220 proprietary accessory Microsoft has to install new games on, the 512 SSD is extremely limiting. I was able to install 4 AAA games and had 3% left in space. In the short time I've had the console, its already become a problem for me. I recommend the series x for the extra space, but even 1TB seems too small for the amount of games that are 100gb or more.

Posted .Hi there,
We're sorry that Xbox Series S hasn't met expectations. Another alternative for adding more storage is to get a standard external hard drive. While games optimized for Xbox Series X/S may not be played from an external hard drive, older games that are not enhanced can be. For more information on which games are optimized for Xbox Series X/S, please go here: https://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/optimized
Hope that helps,

Amazing for the price!

I would recommend this to a friend Xbox
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My son says he like the game. I did curbside pick for this product. I did not have to wait long for my item to be brought to me. There was a delay however on when to item was ready for pick I had to wait a few extra days, but that was understandable.
I would recommend this to a friendXbox series S
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like how compact the system is. Not too heavy at all and easy storage.its also a premium performance.
I would recommend this to a friendGreat value for the price point.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I already had an Xbox Series X for my family room but bought this unit to use in my bedroom. I’m surprised how much of a punch it provides despite the lower entry price and lower specs. I have a 65” TCL TV in the bedroom which isn’t the best HD TV but games look and run great on it. Only issue is the limited storage space but I bought an external SSD for it which works great. Great value for the price.
I would recommend this to a friendGreat value for some great gameplay
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Only system available during the dark times. Great price and paired with online games streaming it's amazing.
I would recommend this to a friendExcellent choice of consoles
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.One of the best consoles available, if you don’t have one you should buy one. One of the smallest consoles I’ve owned, but also one of the most powerful. If you like a big punch packed into a tiny box, this item is for you.
I would recommend this to a friendGreat Console!
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have both the PS5 and Xbox but the Series S has a few more features that I believe put it on par with the PS5 depending on what you value more.
I would recommend this to a friendGreat lil console.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love this thing. Already have a PS5 but wanted Starfield. Might just drop PS plus and stick with Gamepass. Would recommend.
