    This console is a game changer. Load times, FPS, temps you name it, this thing is rolling over the competition. I play pc primarily and use this when I have friends over. I notice similar load times to that of a multi-thousand dollar rig.

    Microsoft has done an excellent job with the Series X/S. The One S was pretty good, but this one blows the doors off that one. It runs pretty cool and it is really fast. Have yet to try connecting an external hard drive, but if it is anything like the One S then it should be a cinch. I also need to give tons of kudos to Best Buy for how they managed their new stock between Thanksgiving and Christmas. I managed to get a unit with time to spare before Christmas thanks to the "waiting line" they instituted to release stock during the day after they replenish some. It worked as advertised and made it significantly harder for the 3rd party re-sellers from buying-up the newer stocks. Many thanks Best Buy for the forward thinking and change to allow a more level playing field in acquiring these hard-to-find units. We had a blast in Christmas thanks to this.

    I'll keep this review short and quick Pros & Cons Pros- -Great for emulation -backwards compatibility for Xbox 360 and XBOX games run at 1440p -Great for media playback -Price is decent for what this does however try to get this console on sale not full price Cons- -Backwards compatibility for xbox one games do not get any benefit aside from unlocked framerate games -Backwards compatibily for xbox one games it runs the xbox one games not the one X games for some odd reason when this console is cleary powerful enough to do so -Games optimized for Series S still run terribly as of this writing -I would only recommend this console for people with 1080p monitors UNLESS ur using it for backwards comp. for 360 and before games then you get the resolution boost to keep it short save ur money for the series X dont give in to this

    Truly was going for the Playstation 5 but i’m glad I went with this. The graphics are amazing!, with 4k display . Only con is it’s NO DISC which is not a con for me I don’t mind just downloading my games digitally . Xbox also has a GAME PASS SUBSCRIPTION that lets you down load quite the variety of games . Xbox is very quite makes no noise perfect for hours of gaming. I enjoy my purchase from best buy. 10/10 recommended

    These are fantastic!!!!! I have the 1TB for my home, I’ve purchased 2 for my kids, and 1 for my grandson. There easy to take with you on any occasion. Great for TV streaming. Resolution is beautiful and system is fast. It will fit in nearly every place in the house cause it being no bigger than a shoe box. Highly recommend. I only wish expansion cards weren’t so expensive.

    Its small, quiet, and a lot of fun. Got it for myself and a roomate and we both can use it when we want. No disc slot which is fine for me. I dont need to have that as i stream everything anyway and i dont care about return value on trade in. For thise that want to buy physical discs this is not for you. The smaller memory is kinda nnoying but truth be told i dont keep to many games on it at once so no impact yet. Overall i would recommend for a fun gather around or hey maybe its just for you, wither way i think youll enjoy

    No 4K TV? The Series S is Perfect For You

    If you don't have a 4K TV, then buying this thing is a no-brainer. No need to buy a Series X or PS5 until your TV set up is upgraded. You're essentially getting games at 1080p, however they run incredibly smooth at 60fps. The system targets 1440p but I wouldn't expect that until further down the line. Load times are super fast and rival some gaming PCs. Xbox has an optional membership for its games (think Netflix for games). When a first-party game (Halo, Gears of War, Forza, Elder Scrolls, DOOM, Fallout, Ori, etc.) is released, it immediately becomes available for download. I'd highly recommend joining Game Pass if you purchase the disc-less Series S.

    Great affordable console! This is really a gamepass machine, it is well worth every cent of $300! It does 1080p 60hz on most but not all games! A huge upgrade from the xbox one s, not so much a big upgrade from xbox one x!

    Good system that's low priced without dealing with dvds. This feels more next level because you got access to your library of games instantly with a push of a button. As long as Microsoft supports the console, this is 5 stars.

    As someone enjoying the Xbox Game Pass, this new console was an inexpensive transition to the next generation. Having game pass allows me to play on multiple devices whenever I want, but when I really want to see great graphics and a quick boot process, powering on this console and being on my games in less than 30 seconds make it so much better. My original Xbox One took so long to load, and thats an issue of the past with the Series S. Absolutely lovd this console!

    I got this to upgrade from the One S digital edition. This one is so much faster, loads super fast, and i have had no issues with any games. Only thing i don't like is the extremely small 512 GB storage. You only get about 320 to use which is barely 3 X/S enhanced games. Bought a 2TB external drive so i can move my games back and forth, which is a headache but saves you money from buying the expensive expansion cards.

    We purchased this Xbox a few years ago now. Compared to the Xbox ones there’s a lot less issues. We like the no disc option, and to be able to run TV programs like Netflix and Disney+, which sales it an easy thing to grab to take on vacations so we have all of our shows/movies available. It’s very small and compact, and the cord to this doesn’t have that giant surge protector box.
