    Excellent piece of kit for a den, office, study or to travel with. SSD and CPU just as fast as the Series X and the compact size is remarkable. Perfect for game pass, 1080/1440p, for traveling or if value is most important.

    Bought for my other half. To replace her Xbox One S, It's a massive improvement for a fair price. Though I dislike the smaller base storage that's easily and quickly filled. Along with the fact that expanding that storage is massive cost sink since you can't just get a compatible SSD, you have to buy specifically from Microsoft.

    Easy setup, great options, plenty of memory, game disks unnecessary, love it! I decided to choose this system instead of upgrading from my PS4 to PS5 and very pleased with my decision!

    I wasn’t looking for the new Xbox, but I’m glad I got this. The system is much faster than my Xbox one and love that all my games are digital. No more switching disks to play different games.

    excellent bang for your bucks but leaves a little to be desired. The 512gb hard drive fills up quick and with the 200$ expansion card price it makes more sense to go with the x for more power and a 1tb hard drive.

    My son recently had his Xbox One lay down on him. The series x impossible to find but just happened to check Best Buy and they had 1 of the series S in stock. He came home and began downloading some games(no disc drive). He loves the series S. The only wish he has is that it was a full 1TB instead of 512 GB. That storage space is precious especially with the expanded drive $200+

    YES! There is nothing bad to say about this. It does what it’s supposed to do with fluidity. Very quick to load games and has a decent amount of storage. For this price this is hands down the best console.

    Awesome console to complement a series X or if you have a 1080p tv. In my case.. It functions as a second console on my 1080p tv.. so it’s great! And incredible that you can get the series s at this price point!

    Honestly great console, If your looking for an upgrade from the Xbox One S | X this is the perfect console for you if your on a budget and didn't play too many games. If you do have a big collection of games or disk games I'd suggest getting the Series X. Really the only downisde of this console if the storage but you can easily purchase more for it.

    This system is amazing especially for the price. After getting my disc PS5 I sold my Xbox Series X to get this. For the Series S I know it's not the most powerful but I am not complaining alpng with my PS5!
