    Bought for our son to update his prior Xbox. He said it is easier to use and quicker and it is easy for travel if he wants to bring to a friends house or on a trip

    Graphics are great! Was tempted to get the series X, but this seemed like a great alternative and it’s sure proven to be.

    I bought this for my stepson for this Christmas. I was surprised I was able to get one since it's sold out everywhere. I just happened to be browsing on best buy and saw there was one left available and I jumped on it quick. I was trying to find an old gen bundle for my stepson but everything is sold out. My stepson has autism and he really likes playing on the xbox so I thought I would get him his own for Christmas. I have the xbox series x so I know this won't disappoint. Best of all it's digital because he can't really handle discs with out scratching it or putting it back in it's case. I know he will love it.

    Very reliable. For the price of the console you're really getting a lot. Quick resume is a great function, just don't rely on this function for online games, for obvious reasons. It loses one star because the xbox one controller that is included got stick drift within 6 months.

    The Xbox Series S does exactly what advertises. You get a solid "next gen" experience for a budget price. OS and feature-wise, you're getting a similar experience to the Xbox Series X. I feel it best to really break things down via a Pros and Cons list: Pros: - Cheapest entry point into next-gen - It's small! So much so that it makes the PS5 and Series X look like monsters Cons: - Only 512Gb of storage, with a little over 300Gb available after you take the OS into consideration -- There's an additional 1Tb storage card you can buy, but at $200 it makes the Series S as expensive as just buying the Series X - Backwards compatible games play in Xbox One mode, not Xbox One X enhanced - Most "next-gen" games play at 1080p, the console upscales them to 4K but it's nowhere near as "clean" as the Series X Personally, I would recommend this as a console for someone who just wants to play Game Pass and/or Microsoft's exclusive games. If you're looking for a console for a younger kid, this could also be a great companion. If you're an adult that would prefer a Series X or PS5, wait until they're available. The Series S makes too many compromises.

    I purchased this for traveling (I have a Series X at home). I have been very pleasantly surprised with the performance, I don't notice much of a difference compared to the X. If you are on a budget and lean towards downloads anyways, I would highly recommend this model. Only thing I would do differently is purchasing the newer model with more storage...probably worth the price difference.

    It's small, it's affordable and it runs games like a champ! Add in game pass for access to over 100 games and you'll have fun for years for a minimum price.

    Perfect Console for Me

    I have had Xbox consoles since the beginning. As an all-around media center, I bought Series S to replace S. The console is surprisingly small and even though it no longer has optical connection, HDMI connection does the job for audio connection. It still works with the media remote and the visual quality for all streaming services I use is as good as i expected. I am not concerned with storage and lack of disc drive. I feel that this is a perfect console for me as it was available to me when I wanted to buy it and BestBuy manager made it easy for me to purchase when I traded in my Xbox One S.

    The Xbox is nice with the new graphics, but it is hard to get logged in through my old account with the new Xbox. It does not seem to want to register my old account making my son have to create a new account which has been very frustrating.
