    I love this Xbox, it being a lot smaller than the Series x was perfect for me since I don’t have much space and the price for it was great I’d recommend it if you want a solid gaming experience

    Upgraded my cousin’s original xbox one as a gift. Works 100x better than the model from a decade ago, he loves it. The only downside is amount of storage, so I recommend an external hard drive, like the black box.

    Purchased series S for my kids and they love it. It also makes a nice compact next gen system to take with you when traveling. My main consoles now are Series X and PS5 digital but for the price its a must for anyone looking to get into next gen. Hard drive space is limited so would need to do a lot of transferring or pick up expansion card.

    Amazing. Load times are phenomenal and I can't get enough of the graphics. Have the series X and it's just as good. Just wish Xbox still allowed users to stream YouTube while gaming now that next gen is capable of so much

    It's really not a terrible console. The biggest thing is no physical drive and 512gb is not a lot of space for modern games

    i love it! i love how small it is, i can connect it to my monitor or the living room tv without a hassle. fast downloads. silent weapon forsure, doesn’t sound like the ps4’s jet engine. the graphics are amazing! not 4k but still HD. i’d definitely purchase again- maybe to keep one at the girlfriends house. 5stars!

    Had the system for about 2 months at the time of me writing this review so the pros: no load times, a ton of games (if you have gamepass), easy interface, easy setup. cons:it runs really hot I first saw speculation about it when they first dropped back in November and thought it was bs turns out no it actually runs hot especially in comparison to the ps5 that runs way cooler ,now idk if that’s a space issue or what but it’s quite concerning being it’s hot no matter if your standing it up or on it’s side I wish Microsoft would address this issue.

      Hey there,

      Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feedback on your new Xbox Series S. If you're experiencing an issue with overheating, we recommend placing your console in a well-ventilated spot with 2-4 inches of clearance around it and to make sure its vents are unobstructed. Need more tips? Go here: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/hardware-network/console/position-ventilate-console

      Hope that helps,

    Unexpectedly powerful for such as small box. We bought this as the "2nd Xbox" for the bedroom and I wasn't expecting much. However I've been able to play Assassin's Creed Valhalla at 60 fps after the latest update and it's incredible. The graphics clearly aren't as crisp as the Series X, but for the price the Series S offers great value.

    Its perfect for someone that dosnt want to spend alot and still get a next gen xbox. Games played great and with the ssd almost no load times. Could use more storage space but still worth buying

    Runs Fast, Storage too low

    Next Gen is the way to go if you are trying to play the new games. Everything runs exceptionally faster than previously. Only problem is storage. You can fit probably only 3 games in the Xbox and you can’t use any external hard drive storage to store more X|S specific games. I wish I knew this before because you essentially have to purchase their internal storage expansion card which is already at least another $200 which at that point it would be better to just get the Series X.

    I love games in general, for this generation of consoles I managed to obtain a PS5 a while back. I will probably be buying the series X once they become more available but this series S is great as my secondary console until then. It takes little space and is powerful enough, highly recommended.

    If you’re looking for convenient next generation gaming, or not willing to shelf out big money just yet, this is it for you. Depending on how many games you play, you should consider getting the expansion card, but overall it is a great console. Very convenient with sizing and pleasant to the eye. Would recommend to anyone.

    This little console is very different. I did like it and didn't at the same time. It does run super quiet and stays cool. It just depends on what you want it for. If you're expecting 4K at high FPS, this is not the model you want. This is a digital only console which I already knew but I was hoping for just a tad more storage. When its all said and done, you only get a little over 300gb of storage which just isn't enough. This console with run most games at 1440p at 60fps. It is just a matter of what you want it for.

    Husband and kids love it!! So much better than the old Xbox one! Speed, graphics, etc all a huge step up. I wasn’t real sure about the digital version it that’s all that was available so we went with it. No problems so far. Will likely upgrade to a some extra storage space soon, but we’re getting by without it for now.

    I love this new console. Fast, sleek, and only occupies a tiny space. Been playing Destiny 2 heavily on it lately. It’s fabulous to see the graphic upgrades,and the additional field of view options this new console makes possible very happy with this purchase! Would definitely recommend an upgrade to anyone still on the fence..
