Came fast and the system is great, runs games good but you should consider buying extra storage

Great product for the price if you don't care about the aesthetic of the series x!

First of all let me say, yes half a terabyte but ladies and gents you can get 2 TB heck even 4TB if you shop around for under $120, yes for another $200 if you're lucky enough to find the Series X you could get it, the better console that runs a bit quicker and gives you real 4K content. But If you're a gamer and don't mind 2K at 120FPS this is for you. Plus digital games are the future and load faster and run smoother. I haven't owned an Xbox since the 360 and I almost forgot how fun Halo, Gears of War, and other Xbox exclusives are. Great price with insurance and a 4TB hardrive it was still cheaper then my PS5. Overall the build the quality on a samsung Qled tv just can't get any better. Super happy with Microsoft and the new Series S.

Right when I opened it from the box it has a weird funky smell. No, it’s not the “new” smell. It’s like the new smell mixed with the musty smell you’d get from a house full of pets. Is it new? Refurbished? I don’t know, I had to wait almost two weeks for it to arrive so I’m assuming it’s new and the smell is from manufacturing? Other than that gross smell. It’s alright, does exactly what an Xbox is supposed to do; play games. 512GB is pretty limited, but nothing storage expansion won’t fix. The new revision to the controller that launched with the Series X|S is pretty nice and leagues above the old 360 controller I’m coming from. It’s also compact and quiet, has a nice modern look to it that doesn’t go all extreme. The upscaling doesn’t look all that great when compared to native 4K. You can see within the consoles Home Screen/menus options isn’t as sharp (yes, I know it’s target resolution is 1440p, but it does have the option to select 4K in the settings and no, I’m not using a cheap TV I have it hooked up to a LG CX). I intended to use this strictly for Game Pass so those short comings don’t bother me, except that weird smell. Makes you just wanna vomit, anyway, if you are bothered with the Series S’s shortcomings and want something more you are better off getting the Series X.

I was skeptical on getting a next-gen digital console, but this one has been rock solid thus far with no issues. If only the PS5 digital was this small of a form factor I would have got both. No complaints here.

I was wanting the series X but, was only able to obtain the series S. I was a little bummed at first because I really wanted the X. But, I’ve really grown to love the S, it’s a little powerhouse in it’s own right. It has the quick resume which I love and the optimized games look great! After spending time with this system, I’m now really in no hurry to get the X. But, I will eventually upgrade when they become more available. So, if you’re looking to experience next gen now? You really can’t go wrong with this. The only downside to this system is it’s a digital only system. Which you’ll definitely need external memory if you choose to go this route.

Best decision i made in buy a game console i will be back soon

I really like this console. You get a lot for only $300. Quick Resume is a great feature, although it doesn't always work and some games don't support it. Like previous Xbox consoles, the controllers use double-A batteries which is good in that you can always replace the batteries unlike Playstation controllers. Also, the amount of old Xbox games available on the online store thanks to backwards compatibility is arguably the strongest selling point of Microsoft's platform. My biggest complaint is the lack of internal storage and the fact you have to pay $219 to buy one specific memory card in order to upgrade, whereas PS5 gives you options.

This is a pretty cheap way to get into next gen gaming. The Series S is built very solidly. I expected it to be larger, but was pretty surprised at how compact it was. Setup was easy, and the initial console update didn't take that much time. If you have this + gamepass, you're pretty much set. The only downside with this console, is that the internal storage is pretty limited (you are not getting all of the 512gb, some space is reserved for the system). So you will either have to rotate the games you have on the Series S, or invest in an external HDD (either a regular one, or buy the very very very expensive Seagate expansion card). This system is perfect for those who don't buy physical media, and who are new to the Xbox ecosystem.

For such a small and affordable console its insanely powerful! Recommended for everyone who wants to get into gaming without breaking the bank or taking up space

Bought for our son to update his prior Xbox. He said it is easier to use and quicker and it is easy for travel if he wants to bring to a friends house or on a trip

The console itself is very impressive when considering what it is capable of relative to its size and price. One note is that storage is a bit low after downloading the OS updates, so an external hard drive is necessary. Had to return because the controller was defective, even after Microsoft service repairs. Overall, great purchase for kids to begin their gaming journey!

Amazing machine for a great price comparatively to the other consoles available. I would recommend this to anyone who is into gaming or looking to get back in after a break. The employees were very helpful and friendly in recommending this console and couldn’t be more happy with my purchase!

This is about the streamline for the Series S product. Getting access to the games is very efficient, and I realize that the disc version is very powerful. However, it does the trick in providing entertainment.

Great for what it is. If you have a 4K HDTV, I recommend the Xbox Series X. However, if you have anything less than 4K, the Xbox Series S has all the capability you need for a digital setup.

Like this system. I already have a ton of different video game consoles and have a lot of different kinds of Xbox games on my PC. Just wanted to transfer a few of my games to a system instead of connecting my pc to a 4K tv. Works great if you play a few games. It’s recommended to just get game pass since the systems hard drive can only hold a few new titles. Since the new titles general size are around 100 gb and after the systems operating system takes up about 180 gb of space. You’re only left with about 365 gb of space which means that this system can hold only a few games. Since I’m a casual gamer, that’s the best option

Great for casual gaming, I upgraded from my original Xbox One which was having trouble running newer games and if you don’t want to drop $500 or more for the series X this is a great option, no disk games but most of my games were digital so that’s fine for me, only having 500gb can get annoying but I don’t play very many games at once so it’s not too much of a problem, and you can get 1tb hard drive extensions for around $80 if you need some more space, also, this thing is TINY. Very useful for traveling or just not taking up much room. Overall excellent value and the controller it comes with is very nice.

Used primarily as a streaming player and occasional game play, works great with aftermarket tv-type remotes. CEC leaves something to be desired, doesn't always turn the tv on (tried with multiple tv's of different brands, same result).

Best bang for your buck console on the market currently. $300 for this absolute powerhouse of a console. Only thing I'm pretty sad about is the disc drive but that's fine, It's a good trade off. Switched from a Xbox S To This console and the comparison is like night and day. Cooling on the console is decent it's what you'd expect definitely dust the console every other month. Playing cyberpunk 2077 is super smooth, Apex Legends so much smoother and no constant freezing! If anyone has a older gen console and looking to upgrade, get this console. To me, this is the best console for just regular gaming which is what consoles are meant for! 10/10 Product Good Job Xbox!

I bought it after doing research of which console brand would best suit my needs/wants. I chose this one for its backwards compatibility of several games I like to play from the 360. I also chose it because it's purple. It comes with a game code for Fortnite which you need to have an xbox live subscription in order to play. I don't have that so I gave my code to someone else. I paid $249 for this bundle and have been happy with it. The game play is smooth, I can connect my echo device to it and I can use my phone as a controller to play games and control other aspects of the system. This xbox has so many features that I have found to be very useful.
