    Not going to lie, I got peer pressured into buying this from one of my friends and I wish I would have waited like I planned for a PS5, but my time with this console was amazing honestly it is PERFECT for game pass and it's a really good deal because it's basically a cheap PC and it runs games really well, the only down side really for me was the storage but that can be solved very easily with an external device. If you're getting into the Xbox ecosystem this is definitely not a bad place to start.

    This is a great modern console as it is very compact and also has amazing specs compared to the xbox 1 x and s. The only down side is that official memory cards are 200 dollars and there is only 300 gb of usable storage, and sunce this is a digital only console you’re going to run out of storage very fast. Although there is a temporary solution. External hard drives, even though they work for games not optomized for the x and s, games that are optomized for the x and s have to be downloaded to the oficial storage card or internal hard drive

    A next generation console for just 300$ is astonishing, especially taking into account the performance and improved graphics. I was able to fit about 15 games about it. I'm fine with the small storage space, as I usually just play a set of specific games, though I downloaded some more so I could try them out and see how they look on the Series S. I can't wait to see how Overwatch 2 looks on this. The design is sleek and it's incredibly compact, taking up almost no space.

    Excellent console. Might not be as powerful as the big brother X but plenty for a part time gamer like myself. Have it paired with an LG C9 and both deliver.

    It was cool best buy had this in stock when no one else could for more than 30 minutes but I returned it as game stop had a fresh stock of the series x under the all access bundle exclusively which meant scalpers couldn't out stock it, I plan on getting one of these later on though as the series xbox's play games smoother than anything else I've played and my pc has rdna1 specs, 4k is absolutely optional, just get a 120 display and get the all access bundle because it discounts gamepass for buying in bulk and the first week you will have over 500$ in games played :)

    This is the best next generation gaming system for money and let me tell you why. First and foremost this is amazing gameplay in a small form factor. When you’re playing COD Cold War multiplayer m you’re not going to really care so much about the ray tracing as much as the overall smoothness of the game as well as the fun factor. Additional because it’s a small device you can bring it along with you in a Gaems suitcase so you can play it on travel. I may get an Xbox Series X for home and Xbox Series S for when I travel. So when we play and I progressed in the Series S it reflects on the X as well!

    Great Console - Only Problem is Storage

    I purchased this item worried that it wouldn't run much faster than my Xbox One and be exponentially slower than the Series X, but I was very wrong! The Series S runs quickly, still looks great on my monitor, and is a fraction of the cost! One big downside is the lack of storage space. I can hold maybe 3 games downloaded at a time on my Xbox. This issue, however, is mitigated by buying the SeaGate external hard drive where you can then have 2.5 TB of storage - over twice that of the Series X - and still >$100 less than the stock Series X.
