    What a great little box. I thought I would be bummed about the lack of disc drive but with GamePass it's not really necessary.

    A good option to the series x. It has enough power to be an upgrade over the xbox one. I would suggest this if you are on a budget.

    The Xbox series X has been hard to get so this system was a solid substitute. Don’t have to worry about buying games, just download them

    Best console ever

    This is truly an amazing console. I was originally going to buy the Xbox series x, but due to the current pandemic, I went with the cheaper option. I am so glad I did. The Xbox series s is so much better then people make it out to be. Really the only downsides to this console is the storage and the disc drive, but even then you can just buy and external hard drive with 2tb of storage. This console is complete and udder overkill for loading games such as gta v. It’s like only 5 seconds and the. You in.

    High quality gaming. Great price! Unit is small, way smaller then i expected. So much tech in such a small package. I hope overheating is not an issue. High end pcs need massive cooling. So far, unit is cool to the touch. Very quiet unit. Graphics are fantastic on 1080p projector. A 4k projector would be even better. Future purchase a must. The only downside for me with the new xbox units, No optical out. I use a stereo receiver and have always used optical for quality sound. Hdmi sound is great and all, but when using a projector to receiver to xbox, there are video issues. Now i have to use audio out on projectorto receiver. If you are using a tv, you won't have any issues. Overall, i give the xbox 4 stars. I wish companies would leave stuff alone. If it isn't broke, don't fix it! Should have left optical out on system. And a kinect port. Now i need the adapter.

      Hey there,

      Thank you for sharing your experience and feedback on your new Xbox Series S. If you're concerned about overheating, we recommend placing it in a well-ventilated spot with 2-4 inches of clearance around it and make sure that its vents are unobstructed.

      Unfortunately, Kinect has been discontinued and is not compatible with Xbox Series S, even with an adapter.

      Best,

    Best Buy has the best customer service & products. I bought this for my 14 year of son, who is comfortable enough with a gaming experience that includes playing only digital content since this Xbox does not take hard copy game discs. He loves the quality & content does not lag,
