    I've had my Series S for about 9 months now and WOW... just wow... Fantastic performance. decent amount of space for games. Compact design. Quiet. Since almost anything electronic has been difficult to find, the Series S was in stock more often then the other next-gen consoles. I was slightly gun-shy to buy since the big brother has better performance benchmarks BUT dont let that fool you. This little beast exceeded my expectations and then some. I dont really care about full 4k nonsense considering my home receiver doesn't operate in that realm. 1080 is perfectly fine for me. The games look and play fine and the UI is easy to learn (coming from a PS guy) and Gamepass is a no brainer. Tons of games, old and new, and many exclusives and it can be used on PC. Whats not to love about that? My only gripe is the small drive space but I knew that going in. My external works fine for non-X/S optimized games so I can easily move the games around if needed or redownload. All in all its a great buy and highly recommend.

    Awesome little gaming system for running Full Hd games. Love that there is the option to purchase the Xbox games pass which gives you full access to hundreds of games including Halo, and Forza. Runs great for any 60fps gamer.

    Everybody knows the deal, if you're looking at the Series S it's due to either your budget, or the Series X always being out of stock. My situation was both haha, but lets get to it. I highly recommend getting this console since it is fantastic! I recommend you make sure your monitor or tv have HDMI 2.1 that way you can use 120Hz. The load times are fast, it's extremely quiet, it boots up fast, it's a small console so it fits in many places as well. I'm currently playing 1440p at 60Hz on my monitor but that's due to being lazy and not putting it on my other monitor to use 120Hz. There are differences in terms of performance between the Series S and X but the price difference just makes the Series S much more appealing especially since you can play with 120Hz. In my opinion what you can do is get the Series S and play on it, but if the time comes where you can get a Series X then buy it and sell the Series S to pay for the difference. Just my experience and thoughts that you can do, but I hope you as a potential buyer have fun with your choice and enjoy it!

    My son loves it! It doesn’t have a disk drive so you don’t run into the issue with the red ring of death. Only issue is the storage, but that can be fixed with an external HD.

    It plays current and upcoming games for a little over $200. Elden Ring alone was worth it to me.The catalog of games available and the ability to play new releases for this amount of money is a great deal. The performance wasn't bad and the quality was decent. Great for kids or people who occasionally play games or who just don't want to fork over 500+ dollar start up cost.

    Better value in my opinion of both the Xbox Series X and the PlayStation 5. This is very mobile, all you need is a backpack that can hold a laptop and then you can hook it up in a hotel or work etc etc. with the proper tv or monitor you get the 120 refresh rate and it is beautiful.

    Purchase this system for my daughter. She doesn’t ask for much often so when I saw this on her Wish list, I knew it was a go. Purchased on sale which was great! She loves her new gaming system and plays with friends and family online too! Happy New Year!

    Price was amazing for I got it for $250 is a good deal. Some stores I see go down to $200 Unfortunately, had to return the product because of its small hard drive and to purchase one would be $200 more which I’m getting close to the Xbox series x territory so I picked one of those up instead

    Xbox Series S: Next-Gen Gaming on a Budget

    The Xbox Series S is a great pick if you’re after a budget-friendly next-gen console. It’s small, runs quietly, and delivers super smooth gameplay. No disc drive, but with Game Pass, you’ve got tons of games to play, so you won’t miss it. Load times are crazy fast, and it handles most games really well. If 4K isn’t a must for you, the Series S is totally worth it!

    The series S is definitely a good console. I think the no cd aspect. and downloading the games will be the new normal in the near future. I use it as an extension gaming for my second home to keep the titles and save anywhere i go. loading time is much faster that previous gen console Affordable Great job

    Entertainment and enjoyment

    I've had this console for a few months now and I am extremely impressed with its style and performance. Its smaller in size to the Xbox Series X console, but it does have its advantages. It fits nicely in tighter spots and you can stand it upright for space saving efficiency. Its also energy-efficient despite what the critics say. This system is the start of the future of cloud gaming. The installation process wasn't as bad as I thought. I also like that this console can be used for entertainment purposes as well. For those of you looking for a game system that is versatile, flexible, and affordable; you won't go wrong with the Xbox S series. Note: You will need a steady Internet connection that will allow you to stream your games. This particular console is ideal for people who don't want to go broke or currently are watching their budget; but don't want to miss out on all the enjoyment and entertainment that the Microsoft X-box games have to offer. The price for the X-box All-Access Pass is not bad at all. There are a lot of goodies that come with the subscription.

    Perfect for casual gamers. I use it once a month of by seasons. Get Ultimate Game Pass and play all game via cloud gaming. The small storage can only handle 2-3 AAA games at a time.
