    Games now a days are two big for the 512 to be reasonable, and with external hard drives being soft locked it means it’s either you can only have a few modern games or you have to go spend another few hundred on an external storage drive. But performance and looks are amazing, very quiet too.

    so far the xbox series s is awesome. I last owned a 360 and never got a newer gen xbox for myself but, this is the first. even though it's digital only I'd recommend this. if you plan on playing loads of games on the xbox you'd need to find a storage expansion card.

    Honestly better than my Series X. I have both the Series X I got from Microsoft directly. Ended up getting this as my back up gaming system for my office. If you don’t play a TON of different games it’s a steal. I only play about 3 so the memory lacking doesn’t hurt me at all and I purchase all my games as digital downloads anyways so no need for a disc drive.

    Great Xbox but got a stuck A button on my controller strait out of the box, and controller is unplayable because of that. Graphics are awesome though and load times are super fast, just sucks for the controller. Customer support hasn’t emailed me since when I called them, they said they would email me again and that was 3 weeks ago. Best Buy doesn’t sell the controllers on their own so I would have to return my entire Xbox and controller to get a new set entirely. Sucks.

    I bought this for my daughter for Christmas. She loves it it’s easy to operate, the graphics are amazing. I was worried when it didn’t have a disc about her losing memory but it’s so easy to save the games to your library and then switch them around. Awesome game system.

    Awesome console for gaming, really enjoy how small it is. I travel quite a bit and its so easy to slip this in my backpack and just go from place to place and always have a powerful console to play on. Great price too, i got this for 220 and dont regret it one bit.

    This Xbox is great for streaming and watching YouTube and Netflix, and sometimes playing games on it can be tricky cause it does overheat, but overall, it's a great Xbox

    I recently purchased the Xbox Series S, and I couldn't be happier with my decision! The compact design fits perfectly in my entertainment setup, and the performance is outstanding. Load times are incredibly fast thanks to the SSD, and the graphics are stunning – especially for such an affordable console. Game Pass has opened up a huge library of games for me to explore, making it a fantastic value. The controller feels great in my hands, and the overall user experience is smooth and intuitive. Whether you're a casual player or a hardcore gamer, the Xbox Series S offers amazing performance without breaking the bank. Highly recommend!

    Ever wanted to have a console that plays your games at a good enough resolution to appreciate the visuals at a price that won’t break your pocket? Look no further. Especially if you already own a Playstation and want a backup console to travel or just play something different.

    This has served me well! As someone who doesn’t usually have a lot of time to ever play or may only play a few games here and there, this is definitely a worth a pick!

    Great deal! Just research specs of system! No disc tray and less space, but for the price its worth it if you play casual games like 2k or something. If you want to play cyberpunk or something, maybe consider the X.

    This just might be the best deal in gaming history

    I am an avid gamer, I started playing videogames in the late 70s when my parents bought me an Atari 2600. I have had the pleasure of owning all of the major consoles since then and I have been a fan of XBOX since 2001. I also play playstaion and I own a PS5. I was a huge fan of the 360 and barely touched my PS3 that generation. Then the PS4 and the XBOX one came out and Playstation dominated them from the very start till the bitter end. Now it seems the pendulum has again swung in XBOX's favor. I picked up an S to use for gamepass as Forza and Halo are coming out and I cant believe the value I am getting with gamespass. Literally the deal of the century and the S model plays games very fast and I have never once felt like I compromised. I will relegate this unit to my bedroom and replace it with the X in a year or so when they are commonplace as the grind to get a PS5 took alot out of me as far as time consumed goes. I think the S model with gamespass is the best deal ever in the history of gaming and I should know. I have been here for the entire history of videogaming. Congrats Microsoft you just changed the game again.

    Wanted to get this Xbox since my Xbox One died out on me. This one has been great to me, nice and quiet. Solid FPS in any game, no complaints. 512GB storage is good unless you want to get the newest large GB games today and keep them installed, otherwise get an external HD / SSD or larger internal xbox drive.

    Setting up and playing with it was easy however issues with connectivity through wifi was resolved by using a wired connection so it works much better with a wired connection than with wifi

    Bought for my husnand for christmas so he can play online with our two boys. Teo have the Xbox Series S and one has the Xbox series X. All operate same speed. The S doesnt have as much storage so if you want to download a lot of games consider that first.
