    Great, easy to setup and Best Buy is the best when buying electronics. Will have to eventually get more storage

    Slim design fits in home scene very well. Runs games in 1080p smoothly, and doesn't make too much noise even under high load. With the cheaper price than Series X I think it's really good value!

    aside from the storage which is also an issue on series x, the series s does pretty the same exact thing my series x does for half the price. personally I love the size of it the most

    The Microsoft Xbox Series S is a fantastic gaming system upgrade that continues the legacy of excellence established more than two decades ago with the first Xbox. The console is sized and shaped to fit unobtrusively within an average user's entertainment ecosystem, and the controllers are ergonomic and easy to use.

    Best next-gen console for the price! At half the price of the Series X, and the PS5, this is a great entry into the next generation of gaming. Although it doesn't have a disc drive, I have plenty of digital games to play on it. It is pretty light on the storage though only clocking in at 364 GB of internal memory to use, but there are options to upgrade memory; whether through external storage, or an internal memory card (which can be a bit pricey). Coming from someone who owns a PS5, the Xbox Series S is no slouch.

    Well, it’s a one x in a slimmer form without a disk drive and smaller storage. It’s crazy how small this unit is. It’s less than half the size of the x and like 1/4 size of the ps5. This is so small and light I am going to use it as my traveling console, kinda sad that I can’t put disks in it though, but I am going to attempt to use an external Blu-ray drive.

    I sold it and got a Series X, this is great as a Gamepass machine. If you already have a huge physical library this is not for you. I have a large physical library that I like to go back to. I did love the Series S, but it wasn’t for me.

    Coming from a Xbox one S to this was quite the improvement. Using it for a 1080p setup and the improvement was phenomenal. The storage could be better, but the price is right. So far very impressed.

    I bought this console a month ago. compared to my Xbox One S it is way better. The Graphics, the time it takes to start the Xbox/games. Overall it is the best budget next-gen console in my eyes.

    Definitely recommend for casual gamers, or people who play only 1 or 2 games. Needs more storage but besides that it works just as well as the series X

    This is basically a 1080p console alternative to the new series x. Its just as fast however most games will only do 1080p or sometimes less.
