    Unfortunately, I have the Xbox Series X so I gave this console to a friend. He says it's super small compared to the original Xbox S. You definitely need invest in a hard drive, especially if you plan on buying the new Call of Duty, it'll take up more than half the space. He says the graphics are smooth, and the controller is legit. Oh and he says his TV is super old, so it looks bad right now.

    This console is a beast for the price. This outperforms most gaming pcs on the market. 120FPS with ray tracing and epic graphic settings smooth gameplay. 100% worth the buy you can’t beat it. Great controller with USB C. 1 con is the low storage but that can be resolved quite simply.

    Its nice being able to play next gen games now. Love the smaller size compared to its predecessor. Great buy for the value next gen consol for under 400$ is a steal comes with control and a month of game pass.

    Great 1440p Console!

    I have nothing to say but great things, fast, quiet, and great graphics. This little thing is impressive. I have the Xbox Series X as well and you can tell it doesn’t have the same level of graphics but if your fine with 1440p gaming then look no further. If you want buttery smooth 4K and higher FPS then hold out for the Series X. All in all this is an amazing little machine!

    I bought this to be able to play mouse and keyboard at an affordable price and it’s perfect for me! I connected it to my computer monitor and now am able to game without any issues on mouse and keyboard! I personally play fortnite and it runs great on this Xbox! I’ve had no issues with it!

    I absolutely love my Series S. Graphics are amazing on my 4k monitor. If you dont want to wait and save another $200 for the series x get this one. It is worth every penny! Storage is a problem but just get the expansion and you are all set.

    I wanted the digital version because 90% of all the games I bought for the one were digital. It’s awesome to have all those games back and then some. I upgraded from an S and I have to say the picture quality change and load times are very very noticeable. I kind of wish I dropped more for the Series X but this is a fine machine nonetheless, and very small!

    I’ve never owned an Xbox gaming system before but I am loving this one! I think the last gaming system I had as the PS2 and when getting a new one. I was between this one and the PS5. Let me tell you, I am so glad I went with this one. I love it so much and I love their gaming subscription because I can play a bunch of games for a small price per month. It’s like Netflix but for games

    Fantastic upgrade from my Xbox one S! Looking forward to using quick resume between any games I’m playing. I wish it had 1 TB memory but I’ll be getting an external SSD. I can finally use 4K settings on here on my new 4K tv I bought this year so looking forward to that! Very happy I was able to get one in stock at my local BB.

    I got this console solely to play starfield when it come out next month. I have a PS5 already and have always been a PS guy but… im not gonn lie. I haven’t touched my PS since getting this. The game pass has really kept me occupied and also the free copy of madden 24 that came with it is the icing on the cake. Im not saying I’m fully changed to an xbox guy now but… it’s definitely nice to have both consoles

    As an owner of the XSS and XSX the XSS is very impressive for the price of $300! It’s just as fast and quiet as it’s big brother (XSX). I would definitely recommend this anyone on a budget, that has kids, loves game pass, or has limited space. Remember this console has no disc drive so you’ll only be able to play digital games on it.

    Underrated Next Gen Console

    Have no regrets buying the Series S your able too play next gen games like the Series x and ps5 at a lower price. Next gen graphics are amusing on this console as well and loading time is fast on this console also, if you could manage keeping your storage at 364 gbs or lower then this console is perfect for you.

    Great Entry to Next Gen with Game Pass!

    This is a great entry into next gen, especially if you stream your entertainment. The only draw backs are the lack of a disc drive and low memory. Having no disc drive really isn't a deal breaker, but I would really suggest you invest in the ssd expansion or at least an external drive. Adding extra memory and game pass makes this a great machine. Its also quite small, being a little larger than the Wii U. Unless you want native 4k or a disc drive, this is hard to pass up.

    I have not even had this for a day and I already love this, its fast, sleek, has tons of games, just everything I could ask for, slightly annoying that it is only 512gb's of storage, but the storage expansion slot exists, so that issue is not really a problem, anyway, if you can get this, go for it!

    Honestly was just on Best Buy a few days ago and I seen they had a Xbox Series S so I thought I will see if I can’t place a order and what did you know it went through was actually happy Yes I know this system doesn’t let you have 4K 120 FPS but I don’t care I’m just glad I can play next generation games I’m very impressed at how the Xbox Series S can play games at 120 FPS and 60 FPS really can see a difference yes your not getting a lot of storage only like 364GB not the greatest but at least it’s something if your the type who doesn’t care about having a system that can do 4K 120 FPS then this system is perfect for you now note if you want to play Devil May Cry 5 Special Edition with Ray Tracing on then I have bad news the Series S can’t do it it’s only on the Series X but theirs other games that has Ray Tracing on the Series S but if you don’t care like me on some games then I say get this system

    Everything works exactly as intended. No damage done whatsoever. Product is 10/10 for it’s price range and gives you even more then what you’d expect. Highly recommend to any one looking for a next gen console without having to break the bank.
