    Excellent console. If it had an external disk drive you could hook up to it, I’d have been sold. I prefer physical media. I buy less of it (beat a larger percentage of the games I do buy) and can resell it down the line. But went with the series x because less pop in and a disc drive

    The Only Budget Next-Gen Console

    So happy Xbox released a budget option for next-gen, but the storage is such a big issue, probably more than you'd expect. You can't play Series X/S games from an external, which means if you play COD, you have to use half of your internal storage to house a 200 gb game. Definitely a flaw I hope they work out in the near future. As a casual gamer, I have like 4 games on the internal and numerous legacy games on my external. Overall runs great and supports some next-gen graphics depending on the game. Never had an issue with Xbox and it's why I keep going back. The controllers aren't as much of an upgrade as the Dual Sense PS5 controllers that are half the price of Xbox's elite controllers, but oh well.

    This machine is a great supplement to any gamers collection. If your not a super xbox fan and opted to get a PS5.... or to wait for one, then this is a great option. You get access to all the games you want through the game pass and you dont have to collect physical media for a system thats not your main or favorite.

    This is a great gift for gamers of all ages. However if you have a true gamer, this is definitely not enough storage space and I would recommend getting additional storage perhaps 2 terabytes which you can also purchase from best buy. The set up was easy however it does require a phone that you can download an xbox app to complete the process. Purchasing games is an easy process so if you are purchasing for a child I would recommend putting a pin on because getting a refund for unapproved purchases is quite a hassle. Other than that this is an amazing purchase for the price point. Happy Gaming!!

    Xbox Series S - Excellent NexGen Upgrade

    Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Xbox Series S is a fantastic upgrade from previous generation consoles - specifically Xbox One. The loading speed, quick resume, ease of connectivity, reduced size, quiet operation and portability of the device are all big pros. This console is responsive without any real noise or heat issues that are noticeable with other consoles. At current price point of $299 this Xbox was a great option for upgrade to keep up with more powerful games. Minor cons include: -The internal 500GB (approx. 364GB available) hard drive mean users need to balance game files and usage vs. access to external storage devices or internet access. -The current SSD plug-in marketed for these new generation consoles cost almost as much as the console itself. Better off looking into HDD to cold storage games you are not currently playing and would rather transfer over instead of re-download. -Given it is an all digital device, no option for disc based games but there is easy access to GamePass as with other Xbox consoles. Overall very pleased with device after 6-months of continuous use.

    The Xbox Series S may be the budget-friendly option, but it certainly doesn’t compromise on quality. It’s a powerhouse for its size, delivering next-gen performance without breaking the bank. Whether you’re a casual gamer or a dedicated enthusiast, the Xbox Series S is a fantastic choice that exceeds expectations. In conclusion, the Xbox Series S has redefined my gaming experience. Its powerful performance, sleek design, and extensive game library make it a top-tier console in its class. I wholeheartedly recommend the Xbox Series S to anyone looking for a high-quality gaming console without the premium price tag.

    Customer service made it really easy to pick up my Xbox series S, even looked up and answered questions i had about another product. When i got it home unpacked and plugged in the first thing i noticed was the video quality and how quick the load time was. Its perfect! Im obsessed with my new Xbox series S.

    It works great. No issues with any game so far. I don't have a $2,000 latest tech 65 inch big screen, but it looks great on my 55 inch Samsung. Loads fast, runs fast. I have game pass, so I'm not too worried about storage, but I'd like to see more storage options soon. Reasonably priced storage options. The only downside is the learning curve on some of the navigation and on how to play coop games. It's not obvious how to do splitscreen on fortnite or rocket league for example. I had to search on the internet to figure it out. Haven't had a console since the original xbox, however. My kids are young, still a few years from being teenagers, so they really don't care we didn't get the series x. They just want to play some games! Me too! Your kids probably won't care either. If they do... start teaching more humility! Ha! With game pass and 3 people in my house playing it....i might buy the series x next year to keep us from arguing over who gets to play what and when! Not disappointed with this purchase. I would do again.

    Like many, I was very skeptical about purchasing the Xbox Series S. The internal storage, lack of disc drive and all of the missing hardware capabilites made me really question on whether or not I should just wait for either the Series X or PS5 until I saw it available on Best Buy's website. After thinking it through, I decided to pull the trigger and it definitely is not a regret by any means. I purchased 2k21 which looks absolutely fantastic. I was a huge PS user during the last generation so I skipped out on alot of the proprietary games that were available on the Xbox One and was able to catch up on all of them along with downloading old classics dating all the way back to the original Xbox. I ended up purchasing an external hard drive (must have) to save a chunk of my games. I am playing games now that I completely forgot about from libraries I completely forgot existed and it is amazing. I love being able to relive my childhood and experience the new generation all in one console. For it's price of $299.99 this purchase was definitely worth it

    The Xbox Series S is a great value for the money and a worthy upgrade from the old Xbox One. It is small and lightweight and is very quiet. Be advised it does NOT have a disc drive. I thought I would miss having the disc drive but I do not. Everything you need, you can download off the Microsoft store. No discs = no hassles. It obviously is not as powerful as the Series X, but you won’t even be able to tell the difference. The only thing I really don’t like about it is that the system hard drive is a meager 512GB. You can get a 1TB expansion card, but in 2021 they are still very expensive, but they are expected to drop in price down the road a bit. All in all, I would recommend the Series S, especially since at the time of this review, the Series X is still nearly impossible to find.
