    Small form factor, easy and intuitive setup. The device fan is extremely quiet. Launches games much faster than my previous gen xbox. If the series x were available, though, I would pay the extra $200 for it instead. This unit has 512GB storage, no disk drive, and processes 4 teraflops. 512GB proprietary memory expansion costs ~$200. For the cost of a memory unit I could upgrade to the series x which includes 1TB storage, a disk drive, and processes 8 teraflops.

    I love that I don’t need a special place for disks anymore. If you have a small space, love gaming, and need to keep the clutter down to a minimum, this is the system for you. Great graphics, the sound quality is fantastic, and you will love playing this system for hours.

    A great next-gen console for anyone who does not care about huge graphical updates like 4K or disc games. It runs perfectly and GamePass is a great deal for its price. Not to mention it is the cheapest next gen console available. Even if it is hard to get.

    Storage is a big problem you have to buy storage card if you want to play more then 3 games only able to use a little over 300 GB the controller that came with it new out of the box the a button sticks down which is a huge deal for every game or watching Netflix not gonna be able to use it at all my old controllers will work better then it the console itself works well just wish more games could be played on external hard drive

    I couldn’t possibly be happier with this purchase. I was fortunate enough to find one of these before they sold out again but it was worth keeping up with the stocking. Getting my Xbox was quick and smooth. It’s everything you should expect from a great console and more.

    It’s a pretty good console for the money but the storage kinda sucks. You can only install a couple of games because games take so much storage now.

    Just picked it up today. The console is very small but powerful. Super quiet. This new system downloads games super fast and loads way faster then the other. And games look so much better. Hope this helps people. Glad I upgraded to this system.

    Couple the Series S with Gamepass and you've got the best value in gaming period. I also have the PS5 which beginning to collect dust since I've gotten this system with the endless list of incredible games.

    This system is best for kids who just want to do things like play fortnite. Parents this is the device you want for your kid if they are younger than 15. The bigger option series X is more for the older generation. This device is cheaper and plays games like fortnite at the same speed and power as the bigger version X. My only concern is sometimes it heats up after a while but it can easily be avoided if you stand the device up and let it breathe.

      Hey there,

      Thanks for recommending Xbox Series S, especially as a starter console for younger players. If you're still experiencing an issue with overheating, we recommend making sure that it's placed in a well-ventilated spot with 2-4 inches of clearance around it and that its vents are unobstructed. We hope you and your family have a lot of fun with your new Xbox.

      Happy gaming,

    Great console for the price, storage not an issue unless you download a lot of games. Keep installed only the games you play and you will have no issue with storage. Performance is next gen for sure

    Never was an XBOX fan but I figured I would give it a try, I did not want to over commit to a gaming system I may not like, So for the price, I felt it was a good investment, still not a big xbox fan. LOL.

    Great product. New to xbox but the load times and graphics are amazing. The game pass is nice as i can download games on my pc now too. The quick switch is also a nice plus. Downside is storage but I think everyone getting this unit is aware of this.
