    I been on PlayStation for over a decade, got this just for Starfield and am very happy with the performance and the option for additional storage if needed. Look forward to trying other games.

    Series S, your only option if you can’t find the X

    If you’re like me and can’t find a Series X in stock anywhere and wanted an Xbox to play the new Forza and Halo then the Series S is your only option. It’s a wonderful little system that packs quite a bit of horsepower in its small size. My only issue, and it’s a big one, is the lack of a disc drive for backwards compatible physical games from the 360 and original Xbox generation. Also the controller feels like a Fisher Price toy in comparison to the PS5 Dual Sense and still retains that signature clicky dpad.

    I thiufht the whole "upgrade" thing was fake hut it truly is a step up with the extra hardware. There is so much detail and less of that grainy vision with this. Plus the fast switch is pretty epic as well. Worth the money. Jus make sure u got a 4k TV able to do 120hz to truly enjoy all it has to offer

    Great console and even with the limited storage most games still work great on it. It even comes with batteries in the controller. Unfortunately it’s not a rechargeable battery

    i love it! i love how small it is, i can connect it to my monitor or the living room tv without a hassle. fast downloads. silent weapon forsure, doesn’t sound like the ps4’s jet engine. the graphics are amazing! not 4k but still HD. i’d definitely purchase again- maybe to keep one at the girlfriends house. 5stars!

    I find this device very fun and useful! I love not having to use a disk! It saves so much more space! And the console itself is smaller which is great! It helps with keeping less space used!

    Had the system for about 2 months at the time of me writing this review so the pros: no load times, a ton of games (if you have gamepass), easy interface, easy setup. cons:it runs really hot I first saw speculation about it when they first dropped back in November and thought it was bs turns out no it actually runs hot especially in comparison to the ps5 that runs way cooler ,now idk if that’s a space issue or what but it’s quite concerning being it’s hot no matter if your standing it up or on it’s side I wish Microsoft would address this issue.

      Hey there,

      Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feedback on your new Xbox Series S. If you're experiencing an issue with overheating, we recommend placing your console in a well-ventilated spot with 2-4 inches of clearance around it and to make sure its vents are unobstructed. Need more tips? Go here: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/hardware-network/console/position-ventilate-console

      Hope that helps,

    For what it is it's great. I already have a Series X so this is for travel and the other room. Microsoft's cloud saves make this viable. I got a cheap but nice travel case on Amazon to make this a travel Xbox when needed. It's ridiculously small size is perfect for packing.
