    We were 2 systems behind but now we are almost up to date. Great product. Faster and able to handle better graphic capabilities. Controller feels great, which might not seem like much, but it has a slight texture that isn't offensive. A must buy at the $299 price we got it for plus we were able to get $150 for our old xbox1.

    Gor $250, you can't get better than the Series S. Especially for someone with a 1080p TV, the X was unnecessary. This is the way to go for using Game Pass

    It's really not a terrible console. The biggest thing is no physical drive and 512gb is not a lot of space for modern games

    My son had the older version and we upgraded to this one. Dont really see that much of a difference since he only plays minecraft and fortnite. I did notice that the start up time is quicker since we played them side by side. It was nice to be able to get this from best buy where everywhere else was sold out and wouldnt ship it to us

    Was going to get the series x but decided to get this instead as it was in stock at the local store. Works great and the disc drive isn’t really missed since nowadays you have to install the full game from the disc anyways in most cases. Recommend the additional hard drive though. Employees helped out a lot.

    This console is very fast! It plays all of my Xbox One games plus upscales to 4K. Looking forward to Series S enhanced games! A great upgrade and more than enough power for most gamers. If you really need a high end graphical experience, go for the Series X. Otherwise, this is more than enough power for most games to look and perform beautifully.

    Great purchase, but it wasn’t the one I wanted. I tried to buy the newer one but it kept getting cancelled after waiting and waiting. But I am satisfied with the one I was able to get. I also got a lot of extra stuff with it.

    My best friend loved this purchase. I got it for him as a birthday gift! We play it all the time together, and he loves how it uses all his online data and storage making gaming easier then ever for him on his Microsoft account. The only problem is how he doesn’t like to take turns with his games, he’s a bit of a game hog.

    Great little unit, lacking in storage

    Really fantastic little unit! For its size, it's powerful and fast. It's gonna run all of the indie games out there just fine and even stuff like Halo Infinite quite well. The storage space is extremely limited. You can always add more space but it might be money better spent on the Series X instead.
