Works great -- HEADS UP!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is an awesome console -- with a catch. This console does not have ANY storage. Out of the box, you only have about 300 GB to work with. This barely fits 2 next-gen games, which means you NEED a game drive.
I would recommend this to a friend Buy if not gaming in 4k, otherwise wait for X
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This product is extremely basic, limited storage, previous external hard drives do not work with this console to save games. Does not have the features and capability of the Series X, would honestly just wait and spend extra on the Series X especially if gaming in 4K.

Posted .Hey there,
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feedback on Xbox Series S. The good news is that you may use standard external hard drives to store games, and even play games that are not enhanced for Xbox Series X/S consoles. Please note that games optimized for Xbox Series X/S must be installed on its internal hard drive. We hope you have fun using your Xbox.
Happy gaming,

Great compact system
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Moving from a PS4 to the XBox series S I was initially disappointed. However the speed and ease quickly won me over. Games load fast and hold progress. I do think the game store and controllers could be improved.

Posted .Hi there,
We're glad that you're enjoying the value of your new Xbox Series S! If you're looking for a version that includes an optical drive, we recommend checking out Xbox Series X. It has the ability to play Xbox disc games as well as 4K UHD Blu-rays.
Happy gaming,

Meh, {shrugs}, It is what it is
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was a gift to my nephews. I got myself the Series X. As a gift for those kids I guess its ok. They still rather shoot nerf guns and play basketball on their little goal. Still, its a nice buy for the price. If you aren't a hardcore gamer, but just want something to play every now and then, get a switch... or this.

Posted .Hi there,
We're glad that you're enjoying your new Xbox Series S. If you're running low on storage, you have a couple of options. The best solution is to invest in the Seagate SSD 1TB Expansion Card for Xbox Series X/S, which will add 1TB of SSD storage to your console. For more information, go here: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/seagate-storage-expansion-card-for-xbox-series-xs-1tb-solid-state-drive-nvme-expansion-ssd-for-xbox-series-xs/6425015.p?skuId=6425015
Another solution is to add a standard external hard drive, which can be used to store and play Xbox 360 and Xbox One games that have not been enhanced for Xbox Series X/S.
We hope you have a lot of fun with your Xbox.
Happy gaming,

Its an xbox...
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Its a digital xbox. My only issue is the random overheating i experienced and the lack of native TRUE 4k. I have a 4k monitor and this thing cant even touch the refresh rate on it. But its nice, sleek and runs fastish.
