    It definitely worth the money seeing that it Damm near impossible to get your hands on a X I would definitely go the S route if you are just looking to get into the next-gen gaming

    If you don't play a tone load of games and you use a lot of streaming services, the Xbox Series S would be a amazing device to use. Pros: Streams 4K, next gen games, portable, light weight Cons: Limited storage

    Worth the cost for both Game Pass and Emulation

    Simply put.. If you want to play games using Game Pass, Digital Purchases and/or want an an amazing Emulation Beast... the Series S is for you. Otherwise, wait for the Series X to be more available if you have physical game discs. Highly Recommended.

    Fantastic. I can't believe I waited so long to upgrade from the XBOX ONE. This is super-fast and performs like no console I have used before. Obviously, the small hard drive is a pain, but it is it what it is. So worth the low cost, in my opinion.

    My mom-in-law purchased this as a gift for our Princess’ 15th birthday. She says it’s fast and easy to use and doesn’t wish to share it with her much younger siblings; yet. A 2nd console is still up for debate.

    Its a nice good quality new system overall and its real quiet, i got lucky to even find one because nowdays there in demand with the xbox due to shortages and scalpers buying them and selling them for a rip off price, in the long run its worth the $324 for the system.

    Great upgrade from the past gen, smooth transition for those already accumulated into the XB ecosystem. Using the app to set up your Series S is super quick and easy. Along with quick resume. 4K gaming never looked better and this machine is quiet. Certainly beats PS4.

    This console is much smaller than the original Xbox One I previously had, which is what my brother liked about it. It's perfect for him since he only buys digital games and doesn't want to swap out discs every time he wants play a different game.

    Good console if you could find one

    overall this is a good console for anyone who either doesn't care about 4k or that can't find a Series X or Ps5. games download quick, no framerate dips thus far, fast loading times. main issue i have is the storage. If you want to play games optimized for the Series S/X you will need to make smart use of its 364GB of usable storage or fork out another +$220 for the Seagate 1TB expansion card or get a lower spec HDD or SSD for older unoptimized games.

    It is working like a charm. Slipped it between my two monitors and sometimes I switch between my PC dual display to one monitor. Turn my xbox on to display on my 1080p 240hz monitor and bam! you got the best of both words. Shape and Size is perfect to fit on your desk!

    Series S offers plenty of present-day value considering it only costs $300. It's limited to 1440p resolution and has a claustrophobically small storage space, but it's tiny and quiet, with snappy load times, and can play games at 120 frames per second if your TV can support it.

    My husband purchased this for a friend since he has helped us a lot and he loved it! It's not the newest version, but he only needs it for one thing and that is COD so it gets the job done.
