    Love the size of this console. Wish it had more memory for games as I tend to buy everything digital. At least you can add more memory for the future. Plays everything smooth. I didn't need 4k and everything still displays fantastic.

    Little half sized shoebox-looking thing plays games better than my thousand dollar gaming PC. A couple minor freezes, but nothing game-breaking. I would recommend for anyone looking for a cheap but effective next gen console.

    The online description of the xbox prepared me for what features I would be getting, and I was pleased with how everything was easy to set up and there were no damages to the product. Overall I got exactly what I wanted/expected.

    Great for gamepass and cheaper than the x If you have a PS5 get this also gamepass is a great deal and cheaper than buying a gaming pc. Just don't try gamepass streaming it sucks Better to download the games no lag

    Tiny little guy. I have a Series X as well the big black tower and the Series S is so small comparatively it’s crazy. I don’t personally need the disc drive so the S hooked up to a 1440p monitor is the best of both worlds.

    This is a great little box. If you aren’t looking to push 4K this box does it all. It’s fast and silent. Only issue is the small SSD. With today’s game sizes, you’ll be lucky to fit more then a handful of games on it at a time.

    I went back and forth about 100 times before deciding to get the Series S. I do not regret this decision. Coming from the Xbox One S to this is a game changing experience. It looks great on my 4K TV.

    Solid console. Just wish it had more storage capacity or they offered a discounted bundle that included the 1TB external hard drive. They mostly likely have to come up with a larger external at some point. All in all still a solid buy.

    What is the purpose of this system? My opinion is this is the most budget friendly version of the new console to experience next gen games on the cheap, Get this and subscribed to gamepass. Seriously you don't have to buy a single game ever.

    A neat small console for 1080p to 1440p digital gaming console which i would highly recommend getting an external storage to install last gen games on also getting game pass for an instant library of really decent line up of current and past games. If you dont have any internet access i highly wouldn't recommend buying since it digital only Overall you get a good product for 300$
