    Compact and powerful. I didn't own any xbox games on disc as I was upgrading from a PS4 so having a drive wasn't necessary. I bought a 2TB external HD to expand storage space and it's now it's perfect.

    It came in a box with lots of padding so it won’t move around. This is my first console and it’s awesome. It has pretty good graphics and it doesn’t glitch a lot. I would definitely recommend this to anyone.

    Got this on a whim after wanting another Xbox for a while. It’s a good little one. The GB’s are not as much as we wanted only about 300 GBs to download games which ain’t much. But we solved this by getting the WB external hard drive and it works well with this Xbox S no problems so Far. We’re glad we have a Xbox again.

    aside from the storage which is also an issue on series x, the series s does pretty the same exact thing my series x does for half the price. personally I love the size of it the most

    Better than I expected, wonderful choice. Never played Xbox before so switching for PlayStation to Xbox was a big transition, but I'm really enjoying it. I only wish I switched over earlier!

    Still can’t understand why these were so hard to come by, but Best Buy did a better job than other stores of managing stock. Seems like a nice upgrade from an earlier generation model. Graphics are excellent.
