    Very impressed by the series s. For one it’s tiny very sleek looking and quiet. I have the series x but I wanted this for my room. Setup was easy using the Xbox app. Internal storage is small but I bought a 2tb external to move and store games. Very happy with my purchase.

    Microsoft was smart to release this stripped down version of the Xbox. I’m a casual gamer and was mostly excited to get the latest “MLB the Show” without dropping too much cash. This thing delivers for those of us that don’t need crazy specs.

    It's an XBox..what more needs to be said. It's quiet, sleek, and plays games. Of course, there's no disc drive, so all the games are digital.

    Held strong to my expectations. The specs and speed are on point as well as the graphics. I prefer the digital console over having to physically going out searching for particular games or ordering them online having to wait for them to arrive. I am completely satisfied.

    Love kicking back at the end of the day and playing games with all my buddies. Load times are a thing of the past with this new Xbox. Only thing that is a pain, is the small usable space on the SSD. Easily fixed by an external SSD. Great system. Great price.

    Fantastic. I can't believe I waited so long to upgrade from the XBOX ONE. This is super-fast and performs like no console I have used before. Obviously, the small hard drive is a pain, but it is it what it is. So worth the low cost, in my opinion.

    Worth the cost for both Game Pass and Emulation

    Simply put.. If you want to play games using Game Pass, Digital Purchases and/or want an an amazing Emulation Beast... the Series S is for you. Otherwise, wait for the Series X to be more available if you have physical game discs. Highly Recommended.

    I would have preferred the Xbox Series X, but I couldn't find one to buy. However, this system is perfect for my needs. Love the speed, the price was right and the system is compact enough to store practically anywhere. I have not had any issues or concerns as of yet

    If you don't play a tone load of games and you use a lot of streaming services, the Xbox Series S would be a amazing device to use. Pros: Streams 4K, next gen games, portable, light weight Cons: Limited storage

    Its a nice good quality new system overall and its real quiet, i got lucky to even find one because nowdays there in demand with the xbox due to shortages and scalpers buying them and selling them for a rip off price, in the long run its worth the $324 for the system.

    Nice Cheap Version of the Xbox

    The Series S is good, but I wish I had bought another Series X instead. The X is worth the increased cost. But it's good they made this, as the previous generation One X would be 3-stars compared to it, and the previous generation One S would only be 2-stars compared to it. The solid state storage load times make all the difference, but 512GB isn't great.

    Great upgrade from the past gen, smooth transition for those already accumulated into the XB ecosystem. Using the app to set up your Series S is super quick and easy. Along with quick resume. 4K gaming never looked better and this machine is quiet. Certainly beats PS4.
