    Bought to replace older Xbox- my son was so excited to receive it - we were lucky to get by Christmas. He says graphics and all are so much better. Can’t comment there as I don’t use but he loves it !

    I like that it takes up less space has the ability for expandable storage and don't mind no disc slot since I download the games anyways.

    While this is supposed to be the slightly downgraded variant to the series X, I find it an amazingly good option. It's small, quiet, and works well. For $300 you can really fail!

    The Xbox Series S is a wonderful console, especially for those on a budget. If you're looking to enter the next-gen fray, but you don't want to break the bank, I strongly recommended this console.

    Bought this for my son's birthday. It's not quite as powerful as the series x but this thing is still a beast for how little it is and for the price.

    Really nice graphics for games and streaming. I do miss the drive though and downloading everything takes too much time. It fits a niche market though and is an upgrade over the Xbox One X.

    Like the new UI and the quick resume is awesome. My only problem is that the games seem to get larger and larger. I used to be able to fit 4-5 games on my Xbox one s and now on my series s I can have maybe 2-3. Another issue is the expansion cards cost almost as much as the console does. It’s crazy that they cost so much.

    I love the xbox series s, good noiseless and very light and compact. The only thing I wish it could do the use of discs for playing old games in it, other than that good. Thanks BB

    I’ve been a loyal PlayStation user my whole life and i still am but i bought the Xbox because of all of the exclusives that come with the game pass and overall I’ve been enjoying it but i will say that putting 2 AA batteries in the controller every other week is a joke. But the console itself in a whole is very nice it runs very quick and smoothly
