Easy setup for a teenager boy. Recommend to use for kids

I really like that this console takes up less room on my desk than the Xbox One S I had before. Games load much faster than the Xbox One S I had. I do recommend purchasing the Seagate expansion card since the 512 GB of storage that comes with this console is a little light. The expansion card is very simple to install sits inside the console so there are no power or interface cables involved.

After having this for a few months, this is probably the best Xbox console to have. The system is fast, everything is snappy. The games load fast, BUT if you care for performance, wait for the series X. I used this console as my secondary choice. I do not plan on playing the newest games on here. Halo infinite beta looked okay, no different from halo 5. NBA 2K22 look good and played well.

For the cheaper system it is pretty good it handles all the games ive had on Xbox at 60 fps and then some and newer titles are rendered perfectly to meet that at 1080p. Ashwell as the quick start feature is also delightful one major complaint is that the ps5 digital edition Price is only 100 more than this and has the same power as the ps5 with disk drive, i feel Microsoft could've had the same power like the competitor and just not had disk drive. overall good system but kind of a greedy move with the power lack compared to series x. the graphics in the series s is basically a gtx 1060-1070 xbox series x rtx 2080-2080ti power wise and memory ram wise

The Series S is unbeatable for the money. Feature wise it does it all with a small graphics hit. I own both systems and I have to be honest I like it almost as much as my Series X. If this was my only console I would not be sad. Buy this get a $85 dollar Sandisk extreme 500gb SSD which is lightning fast with this combo (I have it). Buy 2 or 3 games to get to the $500 mark of the X. Think about it?!

Really fast and better than the one and I really really like it lol give me more

Love the new console. Way faster than my Xbox One S. Haven’t had any issues yet.

We were way overdue to upgrade from a Xbox 360, so we went with series S (since we don’t have 4k TV’s to take advantage of the X) I was concerned about going disc-less but we got the gamepass and have heard no complaints. You will probably need an ssd expansion drive tho, 500gb goes quick. Easy setup in minutes!

If you’re ready for next gen gaming but don’t want to spend a lot of money on a new gaming system then this is definitely for you! I had bought this a while back and it’s definitely a blast and for the price I would totally recommend! Of course your only downfall with the S is that it’s a digital system so no disc and it only holds 500gbs but you can always upgrade the storage.

This machine is awesome both for gaming and media viewing. The best machine for watching media from external hard drives compared to PS5's lack of support for it. Also, you have more personalization with wallpaper and themes which PS5 also lacks unfortunately.

Loving it so far! I wanted a series X fo course but decided I don't game enough to justify the extra $200 and the fact that you can't find a series X and I had $85 in Best Buy rewards pushed me towards the Series S. I bought an inexpensive Blu-ray player to go with it and I'm good to go! I converted 3 years of Xbox live Gold to Game Pass Ultimate for free and my gaming experience is incredible...

The only thing holding this console back is its weak performance and lack of a disk drive. But if its on sale, like around 200 dollars or maybe even less then its amazing.

Great console however if you have disks buy the x this is online only

This is more than a starter console, it does the job, for the price is flawless, bought a couple, no issues after 2 years!!

For $299, this console is definitely incredible, the only issue with it, is it’s lack of storage, it comes with roughly 376gb of game storage after the initial setup, so after about 4 bug games you’d be out of space. If your an extreme gamer, and know your going to play a huge variety of different games, Get the Series X, but if you only got this just for the fact of having an Xbox next gen console for exclusives, this is fine.

It’s a bit smaller than the Xbox 1 but it’s very sleek looking. This is the best purchase I made from Best Buy! Even though both the new Xbox’s are hard to find but when you find one get it, you won’t be disappointed, just a fair warning it’s a discless Xbox so any Xbox games that you own you can’t use but you are able to download them from your Xbox one to the Xbox series S using the Xbox app

You really cant beat the bang for the buck. The only real issue would be the hard drive space. My daughters really only play a couple games at a time so it's perfect for them. I own 2 already it is small, but mighty. You can put about 3 to 6 games on the ssd depending on the size. I just picked up two external hhd for older games, but som S/X games will still run off of it.

I purchased this to replace my old xbox and I couldn't be happier

Blown away at how powerful this little machine is. Probably the best value in a console

Can’t go wrong with any XBox!! Love that it’s portable if you wanna take it with you when you travel-for smaller kids it could help keep them busy during downtime!
