    Honestly mostly got it to play some 360 games I miss, but got game pass and has some good games. Graphics are nice too. The only downside is storage and how expensive the upgrade is.

    Good console, I wish the controller was rechargable but other than that, no complaints. I liked Xbox live, it is easier than the PS store in some ways. I appreciate that they offer many more games on Xbox GamePass. I would buy an xbox again. I prefer the digital/no disc model.

    These are fantastic!!!!! I have the 1TB for my home, I’ve purchased 2 for my kids, and 1 for my grandson. There easy to take with you on any occasion. Great for TV streaming. Resolution is beautiful and system is fast. It will fit in nearly every place in the house cause it being no bigger than a shoe box. Highly recommend. I only wish expansion cards weren’t so expensive.

    This console is by far one of the best consoles I have ever own. I have switched to digital games for a while already and this console is perfect if You switched from the actual discs to digital. It super fast and the graphics are great.

    We purchased this Xbox a few years ago now. Compared to the Xbox ones there’s a lot less issues. We like the no disc option, and to be able to run TV programs like Netflix and Disney+, which sales it an easy thing to grab to take on vacations so we have all of our shows/movies available. It’s very small and compact, and the cord to this doesn’t have that giant surge protector box.

    Great console, poor communication and packaging

    After wanting the Xbox series s for over 8 months now, I have finally purchased it on the 4th. The console booted up faster than ever and the quality of the console is outstanding! Although the console is and was well worth it, it was a pain trying to communicate with employees on when its arriving due to UPS and BestBuy saying different delivery dates and status. I tried calling support to fix this issue but the employee on the phone had very poor attitude alongside hanging up the phone right after. When I got the console, I was going to video tape unboxing the console until I saw the extreme damage to the box. There was a hole inside of it and the box looked like its been shipped and used multiple times. With the poor communication and poor packaging, I doubted it would even turn on. Nevertheless, it turned on and was a complete mood changer. I was set up in less than 10 minutes and playing games within a hour alongside with the complete powerhouse technology. It is record breaking, not only the size of the console (being the smallest console ever) but the technology built into it. I would recommend this console over all the others due to the portability of the console and the power to the console. There is also that hefty 200 dollar price differential. Although it is a great deal, have caution while buying it from BestBuy, at least I didn't have the best experience!

    This is great, it plays new games and it is very quiet and size is easy to fit on your shelf. Only down side is internal storage capacity. Should be 1TB as this is today what is standard storage size.

    This console is FAST! My son got this for his birthday 5 months ago and uses it almost daily, he is always raving about how fast he is able to load up and massive updates only taking a fraction of the time compared to his old console.

    We love our Xbox! We use it every day. Decided to upgrade and switch brands because the competitor product was not worth the price to us. This is a great console, and offers many of the same games that you get on other consoles. It offers a lot of entertainment for a great price. Has enough storage for probably 10 large games max, maybe 20 smaller games. Never had any issues with crashing. Game pass is a huge plus and definitely worth the extra money.

    The graphics & load times are improved but the 512GB fills up fast. The system requires 140GB which leave around 372GB for games... not much. You can only storage games on an external HD, not play directly from the external HD. If you want to store more games on your console, you need a Seagate Storage Expansion Card for Xbox Series X|S 1TB Solid State Drive ($220.00)

    Absolutely love my purchase decision. I was skeptical about going with the Xbox Series S over the X. I actually was coming from a Playstation 4 Pro console. This decision was 100% worth it. Yes, games run in 1440p, but you don’t know a big difference because of the higher frame rates (120hz). The high refresh rate does require a capable monitor or TV. Xbox Gamepass is a game changer. In my opinion, this is the best deal in gaming. Period. Also I’m happy that I didn’t spend the crazy money for a Series X, and did have to buy a 4K high refresh monitor. Those things are crazy expensive. Save the money, this is a great product. One note: I did have to quickly buy the storage expansion. Gamepass makes you want to download all the games.

    Good console for the price $300 is a steal for 120 fps and im glad i was able to get my hands on of the new gen consoles would highly recommend this but if you have money for the series x that would be like another step up

    What can I say besides WOW! This console is awesome for someone starting out on Xbox. The graphics are great, game pass is a very good service. Only downside is the amount of space in the console. Definitely a must buy
