    I was a little concerned about the negative press prior to release but now that I have had the console for a month I can say that it is absolutely awesome! It has already become my favorite all-time Xbox...The games look great and play very well...No it doesn't have the visuals of its older brother console but the games I've played look really good...The Auto-HDR really makes games pop!

    I purchased this little guy when it's big brother wasn't readily available. I was pleasantly surprised to find the Series S is a very capable console at 1080p. I played through MEDIUM (a native Series X/S title) perfectly fine on this console. The only shortcoming would be if you needed a disc drive for older games you own. But if your going all digital its a great deal.

    This will be my second Xbox from Best Buy! I love that they do the 12 months 0% interest! Also tells me how much I will need to pay a month with my purchase. Can’t wait to keep using my CC in the future and get new house appliances!

    This Xbox is perfect and doesn’t take up too much space it runs so well for its small size and it being digital minimizes the clutter with disks and more it is so convenient having all my games in my library rather than taking up space around the house.

    Obviously not as great as a Xbox series X I have both consoles and this a perfect console to play casual in bed or something. The series X is more for when you are in try hard mode and need the extra horsepower. I personally keep my series x in the living room with my gaming chair and elite controller. The series s is in my room and I play it before bed usually after work.

    Tiny and Powerful

    First, I can't believe how tiny this console is. I have an Xbox One and it makes the Series S look like a switch. But that doesn't matter because it's a great gaming console, it's fast, quite and efficient. May not be as powerful as the Series X but that doesn't matter cause at this price point it is a great buy. Been having fun playing Gears 5 on it, definitely a hit for Microsoft.

    Better than the Series X and PS5! Unbeatable price

    It’s cheap, smaller than the Series X and better than the PS5 and I love it! I’ve had constant issues with controller connectivity that almost cost it a star deduction but all issues are simply fixed if you pull the power cord and restart. Also unhappy with storage space, but could temporarily solve that issue with an external HD. Performance wise, it’s amazing.

    I'm playstation guy. Waited in line for the new one back in 98 or 99 idk. Then waited in line for the next two more. PlayStation 4 broke on me and I couldn't find a PlayStation 5 since they came out. So I went with the Xbox. Loyalty is a real thing but if you can't keep up your end you gotta charge that one to the game.
