    Small but fun

    I had doubt on getting the Series S but in the current age, it felt nice to be able to buy it online and walk in the store to pick it up (or go curbside). The console is great for people that cannot get the Series X or just want something inexpensive. It is a fun console and I am glad to play on the thing.

    Smaller than it looks online

    My kids had been waiting for this Xbox to be in stock forever. Once it was in stock I purchased and we are very happy with our purchase. Only thing we noticed was that the Xbox is a lot smaller than depicted online. It’s okay because our Xbox One literally stopped working a month before we ordered this one. This Xbox doesn’t require as much counter space as the Xbox one and we love that!

    Awesome little console with no load time and amazing graphics. Really impressed especially for the price. There’s very little storage but I knew that already and got tired of waiting for the X to be available. Could always add storage or upgrade to the X later. I recommend purchasing a chargeable battery for the controller as the AAs don’t last too long and you’ll spend more money changing them out

    So fast. Faster boot-up and quieter than my xbox1. The handiness of digital is awesome. I just have a problem with the added monthly charge for game pass, but that's nothing to do with tho box itself. Smooth play and great revolution. This is the S so it does not have a disc option, so if you do not do disks like me its perfect.

    Had it for 18 months now, it hasn't let us down. 512GB is just too small of capacity given how big games are now. Although you can expand that with the expensive expansion slot, or get a 1TB HD and plug in USB. Glad to see a 1TB is being released.

    Fantastic value, especially if you have the extra ssd storage. I’ve owned this and the series X. Extremely happy I have this one now. I have seen no differences yet between this and the X. I don’t want the physical copies of games so going all digital is perfect. Microsoft made a wonderful gaming console. The UI is smooth, and I’ve had zero graphical issues with games.

    I didn't expect much with this console, but it really sold me on Xbox for next gen. For a $300 machine that can run ANY game in Game Pass, it's hard not to like this thing. It's also a good-looking console. I look at it every time I enter the room. It's small, efficient, and stylish. It convinced me to purchase a Series X and have this as my guest console. Try it out if you're on the fence!

    Got this as a Christmas gift and was a better buy than just a regular console. My girl doesn't know how to keep discs from getting scratched and this digital console makes it 10x worth the money, no more disc problems.

    Works exactly as expected to lol. I have a rtx 3090 and bought this solely to play nba, madden, fifa, etc next gen. For some reason these companies don't want to make next gen sports games for pc's that can easily play it. Probably because they want to make next gen console owners feel a little special or they're too cheap. Either way, it works perfectly for what i bought it for.
