    A tiny beast, can rarely tell the difference of games played on my series s and my series x. A viable affordable option for those new to gaming

    What is the purpose of this system? My opinion is this is the most budget friendly version of the new console to experience next gen games on the cheap, Get this and subscribed to gamepass. Seriously you don't have to buy a single game ever.

    I have had it for a year now and have no regrets. Only unfortunate thing is having to pay more money for extra storage for the internal storage.

    The online description of the xbox prepared me for what features I would be getting, and I was pleased with how everything was easy to set up and there were no damages to the product. Overall I got exactly what I wanted/expected.

    The Xbox series s provides a smooth gaming and streaming experience. I purchased it to play Starfield on a 4K gaming monitor.

    Great xbox! Small and lightweight, better than the Xbox one. Only thing I would change is the storage space, definitely needs more.

    Solid console. Just wish it had more storage capacity or they offered a discounted bundle that included the 1TB external hard drive. They mostly likely have to come up with a larger external at some point. All in all still a solid buy.

    Little half sized shoebox-looking thing plays games better than my thousand dollar gaming PC. A couple minor freezes, but nothing game-breaking. I would recommend for anyone looking for a cheap but effective next gen console.

    One Mean Little Box…

    This is a great little box. If you aren’t looking to push 4K this box does it all. It’s fast and silent. Only issue is the small SSD. With today’s game sizes, you’ll be lucky to fit more then a handful of games on it at a time.

    Tiny little guy. I have a Series X as well the big black tower and the Series S is so small comparatively it’s crazy. I don’t personally need the disc drive so the S hooked up to a 1440p monitor is the best of both worlds.

    I hesitated to buy this because there are no titles for the next gen of XBox that you can't play on the XBox One. I picked it up with the Game Pass deal and I am glad I did for the loading times alone. Coming from a Day One XBox One (2013) games load in an instant in comparison to the old XBox One. Solid state drives are amazing. Worth it. I knocked a star off because its 512GB is too small for any next gen console.

    Great console, really see a difference. Get a new gen console for a better budget price with everything I wanted. The only thing I find bothering me is how incredibly small the storage on this console feels now that games are over 100gb each.

    Great for gamepass and cheaper than the x If you have a PS5 get this also gamepass is a great deal and cheaper than buying a gaming pc. Just don't try gamepass streaming it sucks Better to download the games no lag
