I really like it, the picture and gaming difference is definitely noticeable and it would be worth it to get a 4k TV for it. I was very lucky to get the only one left within 250 miles of me. If you can find it, Xbox Series X would be a better value but I really love this one, just wish it had more space. External Storage costs like $200 which is a bit much.
I recommend getting a different 2.1 HDMI cable and to get a Vizio 4k TV as they are the best value 4k TV. I got the 30" one and it's beautiful. "OneConvey 8K HDMI Cable (HDMI 2.1) 6.5 Feet -Ultra High Speed HDMI Cable" From Amazon is the cord I got. Super strong, sturdy, and works better than the cord that came with the Xbox.

Nice “little” machine. Never really knew the actual size. Or took in to account how small it would be counsel has no disk drive has a solid-state hard drive
The quick resume is quite nice for a game moment you open it up from the home screen boom you’re back in lickety-split. I really liked that I was able to completely set up the new Xbox with the Xbox app on my iPhone.
I actually like the new Xbox controller OVER the series 2 Elite.
Ultimately I want the series x. Whenever enough councils become available. But for right now are use the series S for those games that are enhanced for it and I’ll still use my Xbox one X for my 4K platform

Amazing console, it is very very small and it can fit anywhere and is very simple with the white color. Graphics are amazing, but storage is alright.

If your budget is not that high, it is perfect. It is very compact and super practical, and it is also pretty. It never makes noise and that is something I love because many times the consoles make noise but this one never makes noise. The truth is that I really liked it.

A very awesome compact sized gaming console! It actually arrived at Best Buy a few day's earlier than what was expected. Quick resume works good on some games. Some games can load very fast but other's take a little longer. I don't play too many different games. I play a few arcade games and and 3 standard full sized games - Forza Horizon 4, Rainbow Six Siege and Phantasy Star Online 2 (PSO2). I don't have too much concern or need for a larger hard drive. The hard drive that this console comes with is more than good enough for me. I have had absolutely no issues with this awesome little console whatsoever. I also love the fact that this console is an all digital console. I like how games these days are all going digital. I no longer have any need for a blu-ray player either because all my movies are all digital as well. I like using the Vudu app for watching movies or tv shows. I really am considering getting me the Xbox X Series console one day but not anytime soon. My 4k tv doesn't have all the features that my S Series game console calls for but it will definitely do for now. The bottom line about the S Series console is, It's an awesome little console!

Great Microsoft product, however, after comparing the graphics storage space, and performance of this Series S to my PlayStation 4 Pro and my Xbox Series X, I’d have to recommend the Series X to anyone who can afford one. It was a great alternative during Covid when nothing else was available on the market. Now with most consoles back in stock, the Series S wouldn’t be my first pick. It is very light weight, slim, and has very fast upload times with Farley decent graphics, just make sure your Tv and console are both set to 1080p though, 4K will cause quite a bit of lag in games like MW2.

The load times on this are mind blowing, especially when upgrading from an original launch xbox one. I don’t have a crazy high end tv so I don’t think I would have been able to appreciate the differences between the x and x/s, and i download almost all my games now, so losing the disc player wasn’t a big deal. Plus the thing is built like a brick so if you travel and like to bring your console with you this thing is a great option. I spent 4 days in a hotel recently and had my console up and running off they’re wifi in minutes. Absolutely love it and will probably buy myself a custom controller for Christmas. I do wish there was a true wireless option to connect to a tv or monitor, understanding you’d lose image quality and gaming speed.

Runs smooth like a champ. Definitely recommend if you’re getting into the Xbox eco system. You really can’t beat the price. Pair it with gamepass and you’re set.

I bought this for my best friend as a Christmas gift after his original Xbox One stopped working and he absolutely loves it. Fits well in his setup and is a major upgrade over his previous Xbox.

This Series S is perfect for my bedroom when I feel too lazy to get up and game on my series X at my desk. Considering how small it is, it will also become my travel console. Great entry into next gen if you haven’t made the jump yet. The price of $250 is a steal and makes it even more attractive to folks looking to make the leap. You will need an expansion card for more storage because stock storage you’re getting maybe 2-3 games on it as many have mentioned. If you don't have a top end TV to accommodate the Series X this series S is a no brainer.

Xbox should be smacked in the face for the amount of storage they gave. 1 game is enough to take half you lucky if they are good titles. No real difference Xbox 1 to series s if you don’t have a 4K tv so far the games play faster so I’m glad loading isn’t bad at all.

This is much cheaper than the series x but definitely as good once it was finally in stock. My recommendation is getting this with a storage extension though because it only comes with 500 gb. 10/10

Thankful that I was able to get at least one of the popular systems in time for a Christmas gift. The new smaller sleek design and all digital so no more having to buy game disc.

Absolutely love it! I was one of the few lucky ones to be able to order an S 2 days ago at 11:27 AM. Performance for my needs is out standing. I’m an avid PC gamer but like to play console from time to time when I come home from work, and don’t quite feel like going on PC. Console I can just boot up and be on my way. Plus I can take it places easier than my huge desktop. I plan on upgrading to the Series X when available at a more steady rate, but this is awesome for now. 2 pics, 2nd one has controller for size comparison. (I saw how small it was online, but MAN when I pulled this sucker out of the box my mind was blown at how small it REALLY IS!

Ive had it for a year, it’s been very good, no heating issue and runs all my games smoothly. Also I like the FPS is plays at and the overall ease of buying games. Only thing I’d say is I’ve needed to change my controller due to stick drift.
