    Purchased as a Christmas gift for my son. I’m more of a PC gamer so I don’t play Xbox too often, but this is a huge upgrade from the Xbox One.

    Man, not sure how to put this but I am a little disappointed with my purchase. I just dont think the Series S is future proof. It makes me wonder if I should have waited for the Series X or PS5. I wont point the good because I feel there are already so many great reviews which I agree with, BUT, I must let you know what I have encountered. First, I download FIFA 22 and it looked horrible while playing matches. At times it looked like 480p. Seems like it was a problem solely with Series S. Could this be the beginning of a trend? Second, there is a problem with the Y button that I have read upon and unfortunately I encountered. It must be pressed down and does not work well if pressed at an angle. Which means unrecognized presses on competitive games. I like the console but does leaving me doubting if I should have waited. Good Luck!

    Great, compact and powerful. What else could you ask for? May not have 4K but it does the job and looks Amazing! If you’re a casual gamer with only digital games, this is the console for you.

    Best console purchase I've ever made. This little box does everything and more, and at a fraction of the cost. Plus, Best Buy is awesome and got it to me early. 10/10 would buy again

    Its awesome the only downside is the external drive can't play xbox series x/s games . The games that are exlusive for series s need to be installed on hard drive to play. Can't be played straite thru external drive. FU Microsoft for not making it properly, its always something random with you guys.

    The all digital Xbox is great for someone who doesn’t purchase many physical game discs anymore. Also the price point is great as well.

    After installing the system. Very easy to do. The advertisement said “512GB” it’s more like 312GB with operating system. It should state this fact so customers are not mislead. The system itself runs smoothly.
