    I was apprehensive at first with this purchase but was immediately put at ease. This is great for those of us who skipped the xb1 generation and want the next gen experience while we wait patiently for the series X to finally become available. AAA titles look fantastic with this( but keep in mind it’s still nowhere close to the series x) the modern features like NVME storage are a warm welcome as well. If you’re wanting next gen experiences without the scalper premium then I would suggest this hands down!

    Very nice console if you aren’t really too keen on playing on a true 4K TV or monitor & do not play a lot of games...key word, not a lot of games, as this console only has 512 GB of internal storage. I only play NBA 2k and Call of Duty and it is perfect. I play on a 1440P monitor and it is beautiful and crisp. Only thing I do recommend is buying the storage expansion card because you will eventually run out of storage if you play more games than I do. I bought the expansion card just to be safe. Overall, very satisfied with the Xbox Series S next generation console.

    Great next gen power in a small form factor. It can play next gen games with ease. Don’t expect crazy 4K gaming but 1440p looks great in its own merit.

    This little machine is a powerhouse! Despite the description saying it is not a 4K machine, it will run 4K on streaming apps and simple games like Ori. My girlfriend uses the Series S while I use the Series X. We both load into lobbies at the EXACT same time on games like Hunt: showdown and Call of Duty. The Series S loads and games just as fast as the Series X. I wear glasses and honestly I cant notice the difference between the two consoles when playing any game. Kinda wish I didn't spend so much on the Series X and just got two of these.

    No issues great buy, although if you haven’t gotten one yet I’d wait for the black 1tb series s that’s coming out pretty soon. Only difference is twice the storage and the color I believe. The storage is a HUGE factor in my opinion, what you get with this one is nowhere close to what is actually practical, currently you can download two games at most, MAYBE 3.

    It was hard to find in stock, but I am happy with my purchase. I bundled with an extra controller and game pass for 3 months to receive a deal. I bought an additional 4T external harddrive to have more room to download games that I play. Was able to plug it in and the xbox register it. No issues with adding that storage. Set up for xbox was easy to understand. I already had an account. It is smaller than I thought it would be which is great for being able to set it up without taking up a ton of room on my Tv stand. No issues with the xbox so far.
