    I would only recommend this Xbox only if you down own a Xbox One X. The Xbox One X is slightly better. I got lucky one day at Best Buy and they had the Xbox Series X in stock. So I returned my Xbox Series S for Xbox Series X.

    This product is extremely basic, limited storage, previous external hard drives do not work with this console to save games. Does not have the features and capability of the Series X, would honestly just wait and spend extra on the Series X especially if gaming in 4K.

      Hey there,

      Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feedback on Xbox Series S. The good news is that you may use standard external hard drives to store games, and even play games that are not enhanced for Xbox Series X/S consoles. Please note that games optimized for Xbox Series X/S must be installed on its internal hard drive. We hope you have fun using your Xbox.

      Happy gaming,

    For 300$ the quality is amazing it smoothly runs 120fps in all the games I play, and the 4K is awesome. Along with if you are switching from monitor to and other display device it’s a very fast swap

    Awesome console if you don't mind going all digital. Everything looks amazing on the screen and with the game pass I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything this generation.

      Hi there,

      We're glad that you're enjoying the value of your new Xbox Series S! If you're looking for a version that includes an optical drive, we recommend checking out Xbox Series X. It has the ability to play Xbox disc games as well as 4K UHD Blu-rays.

    Purchased for a Christmas gift for my grandson. He was very excited to receive it as supply was very limited. The order process was very smooth and the item was ready for pickup at our local Best Buy a day earlier than expected. Overall, a great experience.

    Bought this just because they were in stock. As far as graphics, it's not a noticeable difference from the one x on my my 4k TV. I'm sure you could tell a big difference on a monitor with higher framerate. The most noticeable difference is the load times for games and things just seem "more responsive". It's a good price to add to another room as I just added it to my living room and will wait to get the series x for my game room.

    This was a gift to my nephews. I got myself the Series X. As a gift for those kids I guess its ok. They still rather shoot nerf guns and play basketball on their little goal. Still, its a nice buy for the price. If you aren't a hardcore gamer, but just want something to play every now and then, get a switch... or this.
