    Why wait for the Xbox Series X when you can find this one! It will play all the same games, it will look the same since you probably need glasses and sit more than 10 feet away from that 4k screen. And guess what some games are still in 4k! Save money, buy this.

    Have had it for a little over a year I think and it still runs as smooth as the day I got it. I travel a lot so the small size of it makes it easy.

    Incredible loading times and entry level storage capacity, the controller feels good, ad both are very portable and easy to store as the power cable doesn't have the large adapter as older gen consoles.

    Even without a disc drive, this is such a bargain for next-gen gaming, and it's easily small enough to fit in a backpack to bring with you. In fact, that was my primary reason for getting the Series S. The 1TB expansion card is a hard pill to swallow costing more than half of the cost of the Series S by itself but I think over time it'll be necessary to avoid having to constantly manage game installations on the internal drive.

    Very impressed by the series s. For one it’s tiny very sleek looking and quiet. I have the series x but I wanted this for my room. Setup was easy using the Xbox app. Internal storage is small but I bought a 2tb external to move and store games. Very happy with my purchase.

    Although this gets mixed reviews I would say it’s still a great powerful yet small device. Would definitely recommend for parents to get for their kids

    I have never had an Xbox before, I just happened to always get other consoles but this is a nice way to get introduced to the Xbox ecosystem and GamePass. Enough power of you wanna play games like Halo, Gears of War, EA games, or others included in GamePass.

    My favorite thing about this Xbox is how small it is! I wasn’t really into specs of the series x, plus I don’t have a tv or monitor that could take advantage of them, so I decided to go with the series S. My only complain is the storage size.

    Held strong to my expectations. The specs and speed are on point as well as the graphics. I prefer the digital console over having to physically going out searching for particular games or ordering them online having to wait for them to arrive. I am completely satisfied.

    Love kicking back at the end of the day and playing games with all my buddies. Load times are a thing of the past with this new Xbox. Only thing that is a pain, is the small usable space on the SSD. Easily fixed by an external SSD. Great system. Great price.

    Microsoft was smart to release this stripped down version of the Xbox. I’m a casual gamer and was mostly excited to get the latest “MLB the Show” without dropping too much cash. This thing delivers for those of us that don’t need crazy specs.
