    The Series S may not be a powerhouse like the Series X but it’s small size, light weight, and huge library of downloadable games makes it a great addition for any gamer. My only complaint is the 500gb hard drive but I usually just delete games when I know I won’t play them for a while.

    I love this new console. Fast, sleek, and only occupies a tiny space. Been playing Destiny 2 heavily on it lately. It’s fabulous to see the graphic upgrades,and the additional field of view options this new console makes possible very happy with this purchase! Would definitely recommend an upgrade to anyone still on the fence..

    Great little console for the price. For 299 you get a lot of game. This is a hard to beat console for the price. The only thing would be the storage. It’s half the storage as the series x but for my personal use I have not had a problem with it. If anyone else does you can purchase extra storage for it.

    I bought this console in addition to the Series X. I use this on my non-4K television and I am very impressed with the performance of the console. The is a good way to get into the next generation at a lower price. Storage is small, but it is not a problem if you play few games at a time. The console is fast, quiet, and compact.

    There are deals going around from time to time for this XBOX S series. It is quite a cool one even compared with the mighty black edition. Easy to connect and easy to operate. 512 GB should be enough fir most games but there is also a 1TB version available. S series are pretty affordable and worth buying.

    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

    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

    Unless you’re planning on buying a new TV in the next 2 years as well as the series X, this console packs a punch. It runs brilliantly compared to the day one Xbox One. Worth the savings and digital only aspect for someone on a budget. This will upscale to 4K and looks wonderful but only on a true 4K TV or monitor.
