Lovw this console. Pairs well with gamepass especially since you can just stream the games instead of downloading if youre worried about space. But you have to have a great internet connection. Also one con i have is why on 512gb? After you set it up. You only have about 400gb or less to use. They pulled an apple with the memeory cards tho. Other than thay. Definitely a great bang for your buck especially with all of the next gen perks !

Absolutely blown away by the form factor and speed of this TINY little box. I set it up and went to download my games and instantly noticed that the network for downloads was a lot more stable. The game that I play (Forza Horizon 4) looks leaps and bounds better and runs much smoother than my One S. (My One S is still ol faithful and she isn't going anywhere.) The aesthetics are very pleasing. There's so much power in such an insanely ittt bitty small box. The amount of user accessible memory is kind of a let down as this all digital console should have been the one to get a TB out of the box. It doesn't make much sense that they decided to make this console without a disc drive, and rib half of the memory while letting the Series X have the disc drive and the TB of storage. Oh well. I still have my games installed (the ones I want to play anyways) so I'm very much satisfied with this amazing little powerhouse.

It’s very small it does seem to get kind of warm everything does load super fast and you can use an external hard drive as well I’m pretty happy with my purchase I went from an original Xbox one to this so I’m happy and I think it’s a great purchase if you’re not looking to spend a fortune and you want something quality. It is very small and my picture I put a lip balm on top of it so you can see just how small it really is. It barely takes up space I can have it right next to my switch just not too close because it does get very hot. I’m happy with my purchase

Definitely an upgrade from my Xbox One S and its much more compact. I got this and the Elite Series 2 Core and its quite the combo! Even recommended it to a friend since its at such a good price. Cant wait to game like im back in high school!

my son loves it he plays on it everyday especially the subscription that he pays to download some homes he wants to play

Awesome item, love it. I would sell my dog for another

If your budget is not that high, it is perfect. It is very compact and super practical, and it is also pretty. It never makes noise and that is something I love because many times the consoles make noise but this one never makes noise. The truth is that I really liked it.

So i was lucky and randomly i was on best buys website and i was able to check out with one inn very early January. now i wanted the X & still want the X but im very surprised what this machine can do for the time being! i also bought the 49'' Lg Nano cell tv & can run call of duty and other games at 1440p @120hz. i am thrilled & so happy. This is performing just as good, if not better then my Alienware desktop with a rtx 2070!! Wish it had a bigger SSD tho!!

To be honest the only thing that might come as a problem is the storage otherwise it is an amazing thing to buy also if you are thinking to get a series S you should know that there is no place to insert a disc.

Really happy with this Christmas edition cheaper and still get the same that the 299 console kid is happy so am i storage capacity still average , games keep getting bigger and bigger

I love this Xbox series s. I would get another one for my family.

For just $300 the Series S provides a great entryway into next gen consoles at a fantastic price. If you’re like me and just aiming for 1080p 60-120fps then this Xbox will have you covered. Also the fan is SUPER quiet, actually puts my loud PC to shame.

I really wanted to get the Series X but after weeks of trying to get it, I just gave up. Instead I got this and after about two days of using it, I am definitely impressed with the results! You are still getting the super fast loading screens, those cool dynamic backgrounds, quick resume, which is a feature that allows you to have three games running at once without having to actually close them, which makes it super easy to switch back and forth on games you play frequently, auto-HDR, being able to use older Xbox One controllers and headsets, and so much more. If you are coming from the OG Xbox One or the Xbox One S, I'd get this until the Series X is actually in stock for good. The only downside to this system is the size of the SSD. When the OS is all installed and done, you will only have about 364 GB of space. So I'd recommend getting the 1TB expansion card which comes at $220, expensive but worth it in the long run. Overall, this is an underrated system and doesn't get the love it deserves. It's worth every penny!

Honestly was just on Best Buy a few days ago and I seen they had a Xbox Series S so I thought I will see if I can’t place a order and what did you know it went through was actually happy Yes I know this system doesn’t let you have 4K 120 FPS but I don’t care I’m just glad I can play next generation games I’m very impressed at how the Xbox Series S can play games at 120 FPS and 60 FPS really can see a difference yes your not getting a lot of storage only like 364GB not the greatest but at least it’s something if your the type who doesn’t care about having a system that can do 4K 120 FPS then this system is perfect for you now note if you want to play Devil May Cry 5 Special Edition with Ray Tracing on then I have bad news the Series S can’t do it it’s only on the Series X but theirs other games that has Ray Tracing on the Series S but if you don’t care like me on some games then I say get this system

Best purchase I’ve made yet. Will definitely go back for any electronic devices I want in the future. Staff was really helpful and knowledgeable.

We bought this Xbox in 2022 and it Works as if we just purchased it. Love it.

Overall a really good console for the price. Runs Master Chief Collection, Overwatch, Call of Duty Warzone flawlessly, even at 120 FPS. With game pass this is a really good budget console. The only real issues I see now and that could definitely be problematic down the road are the lack of a disc drive and the low storage space. The box says 512 GB in the SSD but the actual usable storage is only around 330 GB. Understandable and consistent with other modern consoles, but for a console that's all digital, being low on space can be a real concern. The 1TB SSD expansion card would definitely help but I feel at that point if you want a higher storage capacity you'd be better off just getting a Series X instead, since it comes with 800 usable GB of storage without need for expansion, as well as the other improvements such as a disc drive. And not having a disc drive can be an issue for someone upgrading from an xbox one or even from an xbox 360 to a Series. You cannot play your disc games on a Series S, and if you want to play them on it, you'll have to buy them all over again, given the games are even available at all on the store to begin with. This review may seem overall negative but it's largely just because of a couple major concerns that I feel people would run into down the line. But the console itself runs games great, and allows access to everything on the xbox one store as well as potential Series exclusives and upgrades. I'd say this console is best for someone who wants an xbox, who didn't own a One to begin with. So this should be seen as more of an entry level console. TL:DR; Runs games really well, allows access to upgrades and exclusives, but the lack of a disc drive and low storage space can be an issue for someone looking to upgrade from a previous xbox console.

The Xbox Series S would be great for someone who doesn’t download a lot of games to there Xbox. It’s also great for people who use the Xbox Cloud Gaming (Included in Xbox ultimate to use) If your a person who downloads quite a lot of games like me; the Xbox Series S isn’t really a great choice you only get to use 364 Gb out of the 512 Gb that Xbox states; plus the fact that many games are now at least 100 gb you might only fit 3-4 games depending on the games you download. Investing in the 1Tb expansion slot is such a scandal if you put both the Series S with the 1tb it comes out more than the Series X’s storage (with 802 Gb available ) . If you have the money I’d recommend investing in the Series X, not only you get more space you get the better graphics, fps speed, and the disk drive for people who like to buy cd’s

Ive had it for a year, it’s been very good, no heating issue and runs all my games smoothly. Also I like the FPS is plays at and the overall ease of buying games. Only thing I’d say is I’ve needed to change my controller due to stick drift.

I love it. I just started getting into gaming but the size and efficiency is great. I also got a pink controller for it that’s so cute!
