    Honestly, was looking for the series X and settled with the series s due to availability. I don’t regret my purchase one but. Sure memory is only 500gb but getting a terabyte card is easy and cheap and this Xbox is worth every penny. High speed, great loading times, and beautiful pictures

    I purchased this system to have access to older games that I’m not willing to go through the trouble of trying to make them run on my PC. Games like Red Dead Redemption, Asura’s Wrath, Ninja Gaiden Black and Ninja Gaiden 2, The Darkness, etc. it’s working out as a great companion console besides my PS5.

    Love that you only download games on here through Wi-Fi. No losing or damaging anymore expensive games. High recommend for kids that don’t take care of their things. No physical games required for this Xbox

    Pleasantly surprised. I was concerned about storage capacity, but as an average gamer, I have downloaded most of my current games and still have room to spare. Performance is a cast improvement over Xbox One X, but still not as good as the Series X, obviously.

    It's a good system and delivers as promised but upgrading from an Xbox One X didn't really change my gaming experience that much. Don't get me wrong the graphics are awesome and some of my digital games get a nice boost but playing on a 4K tv I'm not really seeing a huge difference from my Xbox One X. I think if I had upgraded from the Original Xbox One this would have been more worth the purchase. I gave it 4 stars because the storage is garbage! especially for Tripple A title games. Also, I'm not a big fan of the priraratory expansion.

      Hey there,

      Thanks for sharing your experience and feedback on your new Xbox Series S. If you need more storage and don't want to invest in the Seagate Storage Expansion Card, you can also connect a standard external hard drive. While you can't play games enhanced for Xbox Series X/S from an external hard drive, you can play Xbox games that have not been enhanced. For a full list of optimized games, please go here: https://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/optimized

      Hope that helps,
      Chuck

    Excellent in between next gen console, i don't play a lot so this works great for me and saved me over 200 dollars. So far the graphics are really good and the quick resume is very nice to have. Only small drawback would be the low storage space but you can always get an external hard drive to fix the problem.

    Wish they could keep more in stock and the 120 FPS 1440 is either one or the other you can’t have both options even with a higher resolution monitor which is a bummer. The console plays smooth and has quick load times and for the price range out performs the series x in my opinion and is a great option for the budget buyer.

    Xbox S is amazing at $300. I have bought all my games digitally since xbox 360 so I don't really have a use for a drive anyway. I plan on getting a nice 1440 monitor for my pc so this will work great with it. I don't plan on splurging for a 4k monitor or tv anytime soon but if I ever do, that's when I'll get an x.
