    Phenomenal gaming system! Very easy to set up and small enough to fit in any gamers space. No long load times and quick connectivity to the internet. You can also add a expandable device for larger storage capacity.

    What can I say about the Xbox series S that hasnt been said already. Truly a beast of a system at $300 capable of up to 120 frames per second and up to 1440p gaming, although some have been 4k. Match this console with Gamepass and you've got yourself a no-brainer

    My grandson loves it. It’s really small and very quiet. I started downloading all of his games so he should have them his whole life. There is no downside to this purchase. All his old Xbox accessories work with this console.

    Never thought I’d be ok with a disc-less gaming console but it’s perfect! Small size fits perfect in where I put it, easy to use and has great quality.

    I’m enjoying my Xbox. Being able to go back and play games I never got the chance to play, such as Gears of War. It’s been an enjoyable experience.

    Good Travel Unit or 2nd Xbox

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Small form factor, easy and intuitive setup. The device fan is extremely quiet. Launches games much faster than my previous gen xbox. If the series x were available, though, I would pay the extra $200 for it instead. This unit has 512GB storage, no disk drive, and processes 4 teraflops. 512GB proprietary memory expansion costs ~$200. For the cost of a memory unit I could upgrade to the series x which includes 1TB storage, a disk drive, and processes 8 teraflops.

    I love that I don’t need a special place for disks anymore. If you have a small space, love gaming, and need to keep the clutter down to a minimum, this is the system for you. Great graphics, the sound quality is fantastic, and you will love playing this system for hours.

    A great next-gen console for anyone who does not care about huge graphical updates like 4K or disc games. It runs perfectly and GamePass is a great deal for its price. Not to mention it is the cheapest next gen console available. Even if it is hard to get.

    Bought as a cost alternative to the series X. Works great and allows me to play X/S enhanced games without paying for the series X.

    Storage is a big problem you have to buy storage card if you want to play more then 3 games only able to use a little over 300 GB the controller that came with it new out of the box the a button sticks down which is a huge deal for every game or watching Netflix not gonna be able to use it at all my old controllers will work better then it the console itself works well just wish more games could be played on external hard drive

    I couldn’t possibly be happier with this purchase. I was fortunate enough to find one of these before they sold out again but it was worth keeping up with the stocking. Getting my Xbox was quick and smooth. It’s everything you should expect from a great console and more.
