    It really is a blast. Really the only thing that sucks is the storage but thats what you expect when buying it. I bought this with the external storage and it is perfect. Handles all the games i throw at it. I play online a bunch with my friends, PUBG is a big one. Console has no problem with games online, runs very quiet which i love. I do love the game pass but i mainly buy games from the store. Ive been a xbox gamer since day one and this little wonder is amazing. I opted for this one since the tower was still back ordered. I do recommend getting this especially for the price. Just be prepared to get extra storage devices then your golden.

    Love this little box. It's a powerful system. Just wish it had a bigger hard drive. It's so fast. Game pass makes it easy to go all digital. I'll get physical copies of my games on my N Switch. Quick resume is sooo convenient. Its hard to go back to the other systems without that feature. Forza,ori & crysis 2,3 remastered look AMAZING in 1080p upscaled to 4k.

    Fast, compact next-gen gaming if you don't need 4k The X-Box Series S is a slick, fast little machine that is a great entry point for next-gen gaming. If you pair it with Microsoft Game Pass you won't even need to buy any games to get started - or - EVER really. It's not for everybody and hardcore gamers will want to wait for either an Xbox Series X or a PS5. WHO THIS IS FOR - * People who want to get in on next gen gaming without breaking the bank. * PS5 owners who want to play Microsoft exclusives or have access to Microsoft game pass. It's a perfect "game pass machine." * People who don't own or don't really care to own, a 4k UHD TV. * People who don't put a priority on having top of the line performance - i.e. non-competitive gamers, kids, etc. * People who don't need physical media for games / entertainment. WHO THIS IS NOT FOR - * Hard core gamers who want to take advantage of all the bells and whistles that the most powerful next-gen consoles have to offer (i.e. Series X & PS5) * People who want to game in full 4k @ 120 hz / 120 fps. The Series S maxes out at 1440p. * People with a large library of Xbox / 360 / Xbox One physical games and / or DVDs. The Series S is digital only. The jury is still out on how future proof the Series S will be once developers start really taking advantage of the Series X's horsepower. But for now, and honestly - I upgraded to a Series X - the differences are negligible.

    Next-gen that goes easy on the wallet!

    I still have no idea how I managed to order this AND have it shipped/delivered all within 1 day but I’m definitely not complaining! I ordered this for my girlfriend and she absolutely loves it! It’s the perfect option for a “budget” next-gen experience. My main critique is the rather low amount of internal storage given the obnoxiously large file size of games nowadays. Thus, I highly recommend getting an external hard drive which I know you can always find good deals on. Just know that you can only play next-gen games if they’re installed on the internal drive. You can still move those games on an external drive for the sole purpose of storage which still saves you from having to delete and re-download them.

    The most underrated console. It has the best value and with Game Pass, it only makes sense to buy it. I unfortunately returned it just because I was able to get a Series X. Don’t sleep on this one, it truly offers such a great performance to value ratio. I mostly play FPS titles like Call of Duty and was able to get 120fps at 1440p. It’s only a matter of when before I get another Series S for the bedroom. If you don’t have a 4K TV/monitor then this is the console to get. If you do have a 4K TV/monitor, this is still a worthy purchase in my opinion. It plays so much smoother and better than some entry level PCs. Also, it’s so quiet you almost don’t even know it’s on.

    quality digital gaming console

    just a couple of years ago my family decided to go all digital because of the non disc drive feature.I have 3 kids that are still little enough to break things as kids do. The small design makes it easier to not take up a lot of space to not be in the way to get easily knocked off and broken which is a bonus with having children. The con is that there is not a lot of memory if you are a adult hard core gamer that likes to have a ton of games already loaded instant to play. This console is highly good for if you have children and if you are only a casual gamer that does not play a vast variety of multiple games. all said it is still a great product with one unspoken bonus of not having to have a bunch of game cases taking up a ton of room.
