Awesome I love Xbox so much makes me wanna buy another one

While the Series X is gold standard, the S provides excellent value. With GamePass (with cloud play!) remote play and excellent back catalog, this provides great gaming. Storage isnt great, but can be expanded.

Awesome if you want to go all digital especially with the Xbox app that allows you to stream all your games on your android phone and soon iPhones as well. No more Clutter of gang boxes or where are you going to store all those CDs swapping and changing games it’s so simple best decision I ever made

I was on the Sony playform with the PS3 ans PS4. I couldn’t find a PS5 for the last couple years then opted to get this system and couldn’t be happier. It does everything the PlayStation does. Im glad i have it.

I had a series X but gave it to my little brother for christmas since his mom couldn't find one to buy in store. I missed xbox so I bought one of these, and besides the missing disc drive, it really has little to no compromises. Besides the most graphic intensive titles, this looks basically as good. If you played them side by side you could probably tell a difference, but its minimal and plays most games great. I think they could make this exact console but have a disc drive, and it would sell well. You can take all the other compromises over the series x, but having a disc is convenient. I do buy most games digitally but having the option, or finding a good sale price on a disc based game, is something you miss out on. Xbox digital store does have some good sales though, but not the quick price drop you see on new disc based games a week or 2 after they come out.

I have a series x already but needed a next gen for the living room. The series x was out of stock so i grabbed this b4 the proposed price increase. Also picked up a memory card bc 500gb is not enough.

Now granted, I wasn’t able to get either the PS5 or the Series X but the series S is the unsung hero I have yet to get bored with it, now yes I am limited to the fps and other factors but given the price you are really getting your monies worth with this system.

Great console that goes along well with a PC setup as a console for any games you currently own and enhances older OG Xbox and 369 games. Newer S optimized games also work well and this console is ridiculously fast when it comes to boot up and loading.

Thanks to Best Buy I was able to grab two of these little titans for my kids NOT to scalp real gamers. I also got myself the Series X from Best Buy of course and I must say this disc-free console is amazing. I should have gone with the Gamepass bundle so save $15 because that will get you the most out of this console. It comes packed with such care and quality materials that unboxing it alone was a far better experience than the Playstation 5 I finally got 4 months after launch but thanks again to bestbuy.com. The HDMI and controller are every bit of what you get with the Series X so there is nothing left desired except the storage but it is manageable and expandable. Unless you have an 8K TV and even then I believe this console came to play and makes no apologies. At this price point pick one up and have a blast while you wait to get that PS5 but certainly don't give in to the scalpers because NONE of the systems are worth more than retail and Best Buy is the place to get all of them.

This is truly next gen! The size of this is perfect! I paired it with a portable monitor by a company that made a design specifically for it and it just got even better! Next gen at last gen price! Love it

Our son loves the speed and game play. No need for disks when he gets all digital versions.

Best decision I had made, the size is perfect I could not ask for something better.

like it and the grand kids like it too. I like to play games too at my age 71.

I bought This for my boyfriend and I love It. I wanted To get him the series x but everywhere was sold out so I finally bought this bad boy! And when I say I am Overjoyed! I’ve bought every Xbox that came out and this is far this best one!!! This Xbox is not only small which is very convent when having a small gaming area to play in! Now I just Said this Xbox is small! But that don’t mean nothing! What they use to say don’t judge a book by it’s cover! It’s powerful and durable! This Xbox is extremely fast the graphics on it it’s remarkable and don’t get me started on the upgraded controller it comes with. Just look at the design it’s beautiful! Really a piece of art! I was So in love with it I bought Me another one and kept it in the box because I want To keep it for my generation and pass it down because everybody need to be able to experience this!!!!

Xbox S 512 GB All Digital console is amazing. I love that I don't have to worry about disc scratches running your purchase. In addition, the loading speed of the games is so quick. If you are on the fence, I'd highly recommend purchasing this unit over a PS5

This is a great second console for my kid who does not have a 4K TV gets to play the games she wants on a brand new system that will be supported for years

small but mighty brilliance, display ratio that cannot be contended for the price. unequivelant graphical superiority if you are looking for 1080p sweet 60 refresh rate then look no further. Addtionally silky smooth grips for the controller it comes with, sating your need for comfortability. astonishing laser quick read and write speeds for the lazy couch potatoes too eager to be bothered with slow transfer data rates. a firm straight out of another reality captivating lush edgy appearance to keep the little ones side lined giving you enough time to game night and day 365 24/7. absolute remarkable fan and heat dissipation. trust worthy tech support and wait there is more! wifi a/c means low latency and sure strike wifi capabilities that will shock and awe the average consumer without the need for a gaming router. it may not be wifi 6 but she bites and bites hard on the competition. last but not least .... can be set up right or side ways for horizontal paper weight dominance!

After little over a year on the Xbox series s, its a pretty solid console. Handled most games I played on it with ease. Games such as Elden Ring and Modern Warfare 2 ran good at 60 fps(eyeballed it). Its small form factor lets me sit it vertically without any issues and out of the way. Also, fan noise was kind of noticeable but not that much of an issue. Of course the storage size is a bit small for modern games but if your not looking to play games with huge storage sizes then its serves well. I would like to call this an entry-level budget consoles for its generation.

The Xbox Series S is an amazing console. It is compact, silent, incredibly fast, and has so many noteworthy features to offer. It boasts unbelievably fast load times, unnoticeable fan noise, a consistent and smooth FPS with no stutters, and excellent visual clarity. This unit is $200 cheaper than the Series X. The only drawback to the Series S that I can find is the storage capacity. Microsoft has been very misleading with the 512GB and 1TB claims for storage capacity on the Series S and X respectively. My Series S only comes with about 365GB of usable space, while apparently the Series X gets a beefier 800GB or so, but compared to 1TB that is still a big decrease. My solution to the low storage capacity on the Series S is to purchase a USB to SATA adapter along with an internal 2.5" SSD for a computer, I have gained an extra 500GB of room to play by doing this and it only cost about $60. Compared to the eye-watering price of $220 for a 1TB expansion card from Seagate, this external SSD setup holds far more value and flexibility at a drastically lower price. For the disappointingly low internal storage capacity, misleading storage capacity claims, and poor value storage upgrade options offered from Microsoft,

For $300 it's a decent console. I initially had the impression this console plays games at 1440p at 60fps and while some do, most games I have played are in 1080p 30fps. My biggest gripe, ironically, is gamepass. While it is a great deal, Microsoft punishes those that goes with the basic gamepass subscription at $10/month compared to gamepass ultimate at $15. For example, this past weekend, far cry 6 was free to play on pc, playstation, and xbox(so long as you had xbox live gold or gamepass ultimate). Microsoft took the opportunity to punish basic gamepass subscribers. Luckily I have a ps4 and was able to download the far cry 6 free trial without any subscription. I also dropped my gamepass subscription because that whole fiasco left a bad taste in my mouth. Also, Microsoft makes it very difficult to downgrade from Ultimate to basic and makes it easy to upgrade from basic to ultimate. I have a feeling they are going to eventually do away with basic at some point. Other than THAT, console is decent. Great price. One more thing, you don't get 512GB of storage, you only get 364GB.
