    After having this for a few months, this is probably the best Xbox console to have. The system is fast, everything is snappy. The games load fast, BUT if you care for performance, wait for the series X. I used this console as my secondary choice. I do not plan on playing the newest games on here. Halo infinite beta looked okay, no different from halo 5. NBA 2K22 look good and played well.

    For the cheaper system it is pretty good it handles all the games ive had on Xbox at 60 fps and then some and newer titles are rendered perfectly to meet that at 1080p. Ashwell as the quick start feature is also delightful one major complaint is that the ps5 digital edition Price is only 100 more than this and has the same power as the ps5 with disk drive, i feel Microsoft could've had the same power like the competitor and just not had disk drive. overall good system but kind of a greedy move with the power lack compared to series x. the graphics in the series s is basically a gtx 1060-1070 xbox series x rtx 2080-2080ti power wise and memory ram wise

    If you’re ready for next gen gaming but don’t want to spend a lot of money on a new gaming system then this is definitely for you! I had bought this a while back and it’s definitely a blast and for the price I would totally recommend! Of course your only downfall with the S is that it’s a digital system so no disc and it only holds 500gbs but you can always upgrade the storage.

    What can i say, it is a great upgrade. it is quiet, and its fast. I didnt give it 5 stars because it can only hold like 4 or 5 games. I plan on buying the external hard drive for it. Otherwise its awesome.

    For $299, this console is definitely incredible, the only issue with it, is it’s lack of storage, it comes with roughly 376gb of game storage after the initial setup, so after about 4 bug games you’d be out of space. If your an extreme gamer, and know your going to play a huge variety of different games, Get the Series X, but if you only got this just for the fact of having an Xbox next gen console for exclusives, this is fine.

    It’s a bit smaller than the Xbox 1 but it’s very sleek looking. This is the best purchase I made from Best Buy! Even though both the new Xbox’s are hard to find but when you find one get it, you won’t be disappointed, just a fair warning it’s a discless Xbox so any Xbox games that you own you can’t use but you are able to download them from your Xbox one to the Xbox series S using the Xbox app

    You really cant beat the bang for the buck. The only real issue would be the hard drive space. My daughters really only play a couple games at a time so it's perfect for them. I own 2 already it is small, but mighty. You can put about 3 to 6 games on the ssd depending on the size. I just picked up two external hhd for older games, but som S/X games will still run off of it.

    Wow just amazing, just love the next gen Xbox. Although I am writing this review for the S series I also was able to acquire the Series X and it is one amazingly powerful console. Seeing 4k at 120hz for the first time is quite a sight to see. Its also whisper quite, thank you Microsoft for giving one amazing console for next gen to build upon.
